Not going to be fun for them playing at Fratton Park, they will get plenty of grief, if the Pompey fans know about womens football that is. I’m sure plenty will go along just to hurl abuse!

The abuse from some of the men who put themselves behind the keeper and followed to the other side at half time was disgusting. Oxford should have been out of sight in the game but drew 1-1 after one of their girls fractured her leg. I can imagine it will be another level of crap at fratton Park. Just got to hope that away fans are banned as you can bet there would be some trouble makers coming down. Ah didums. If they want to be treated as a proper sport, they’ll have to get used to it.

The women aren't paid enough to be abused by thousands of fat, tanked up low lives just because they wear a different colour shirt to some other people who play in a different city in a different colour shirt. If you don't like womens football, don't watch it / don't go just to intimidate the opposition. Like it or not the women's game has a higher percentage of female (and male) fans (including girls/children) who want to watch it and enjoy it for what it is...a proper sport, albeit perhaps not currently the same standard as the men's game...without feeling intimated.

jawillwill Posted 29 November, 2021 Share Posted 29 November, 2021 Good question - suppose you never know what is going on in people's lives/their ability to cope with torrents of abuse, so the answer probably should probably be that they shouldn't ever have to put up with it. Personally, if it was me, I reckon I'd get over it for £40,000 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could set up an OnlyFans page and people could pay to abuse you. It’s an interesting concept, you can only be abusive to people who earn a certain amount of money. Perhaps Nathan Redmond could take a voluntary pay cut, that way he won’t get abused anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 19 December, 2021 Share Posted 19 December, 2021 Apparently it was due to Covid in the Cardiff camp, as it was last time. The CCLFC Chair contacted me on FB to let me know.

I don't know how promotion to Championship is calculated. We play in the Southern Premier Division, there's also a Northern, so any extra spot may not come from our league! Although very favourable i certainly wouldn't bank on promotion even if extra place did go to Southern, recent games against the skates were very close and have to play them again, Oxford pushing on and we still have to play Ipswich so big potential to drop points there! If i had to bet on it though then i think we'll win the league, by a whisker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were awarded a 10 point penalty but this probably just means they will be the "automatic" relegation candidates (without checking the league table). So, no potential opening for next season for teams aspiring to be promoted to the Championship.

Dr Who? Posted 10 January, 2022 Author Share Posted 10 January, 2022 This is domestic football. The club should have someone on the Saints woman's team media page and do the updates as and when. When they have a game send someone with the club to update their Twitter page, like the other Southampton team not connected to a professional football club. It is not like we do not have the resources. it annoys me on the BBC when you cannot click on a score line from Scotland/Italy/Netherlands and it does not give you the option of going onto the game to see when the goals were scored and by who. This is after all 2022, it’s not like we do not have the means. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 11 January, 2022 Share Posted 11 January, 2022 Nice touch for them to give Sue Lopez the latest Forever Saints award at half time. Pity the tannoy was playing up and we couldn't really hear the tributes to her that well. As they said in the bits I could hear, she was an absolute trailblazer for women's football and Southampton in particular.

Yes they will ‘get around to fitting them in’ when the club have sorted out the rest of the things on the list and they get to the last one 🙄.
