Don't exert too much mental energy into trying to reply to the old Lord Duckmeister. He's having trouble trying to front up to the positive changes of the late 20th and early parts of the 21st centuries. As a parent of four daughters, there's a great joy to be had watching womens' sport all over the planet.....in time it will be appreciated, and valued as much as Mens' competitions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I have 4 daughters too and a plethora of nieces - one of which is a qualified football coach (coaches boys and girls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 18 September, 2021 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2021 I have two daughters and encouraged them to play lots of sport. That doesn’t take away from fact that standard in football is so noticeably off the men’s game it isn’t enjoyable to watch. I am glad it is getting more exposure and will no doubt improve however that doesn’t mean it should be the lead sports news all across the BBC. A lot of the coverage is so patronising pretending the errors aren’t shocking at top level of any sport. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great that women's football is seemingly more popular. My only real gripe is that some outlets like the BBC seen to be trying to get people to take an interest by tricking them into clicking on links by obscuring the fact its the women's game (they do it with women's cricket too). If they stopped doing that and putting it as their front page news item (even ahead of Premier league football) then I really would wish the sport well.

It's two years away still, so I'd say chances are good. Also, as much as our Federal Government absolutely sucks in a myriad of ways, I'd say describing it as totalitarian is a fair bit of an overreach.

OttawaSaint Posted 19 September, 2021 Share Posted 19 September, 2021 Did Che eventually get awarded that goal vs Man U? Benhrama’s shot in today’s match was going a mile wide before it hit Varane and went in but they have immediately given the goal to Benhrama.

OttawaSaint Posted 19 September, 2021 Share Posted 19 September, 2021 Looks like the thigh in the way of the attacker to bring them down is a legal move now.

HarvSFC Posted 19 September, 2021 Share Posted 19 September, 2021 Nuno was a dreadful appointment after his sacking from Wolves. Spurs fans would’ve wanted an attacking manager after Mourinho, but they can only muster three shots on target against Palace and Chelsea, two 3-0 losses and a 2-2 draw with Rennes in between. Kane’s doing a Van Dijk too and going through the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
