Obviously just sat at the back and made zero challenges and passed the ball but there was one lassie who was pretty good and you had to be wary of getting a meg. Would have two footed her if that had happened. So you were the 2nd best player in a women's five-a-side game? Link to comment

But crack on with women's fitba if it floats your boat. I don't believe for a minute the airtime it gets is anywhere near proportionate to the audience demand. I'm certain easily over 90% of UK fitba audiences, at grounds or TV have no interest in watching women's fitba. The whole thing's forced on the audience rather than driven by audience demand. Aye, market forces don't seem to apply to womans fitba. Or womans sport generally. The tennis players, athletes etc. are just hanging onto the mens coat tails. Link to comment

They're different completely, why try and compare them? I find it strange folk are so keen to slag it off, when it never happens in other sports. No one slaughters the women power lifters, for example, for being much weaker than the men, nor slags them women's 100m gold medalist for being much slower than the men's They've fucked themselves up a bit by tagging onto the men's game imo. Glasgow City excepted they've insisted upon being part of existing clubs and moaned about lack of investment, pay equality etc. Start your own clubs, attract your own crowds and stop fucking moaning Link to comment
Fridge Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ha ha, no I’m pretty sure I was the best. There was some complete dicks sometimes though, one boy turned up and would be smashing the smash the ball in from 5 yards against a wifie keeper. Ffs, we’re only here to help out with numbers and give them a bit of guidance, there’s nae scouts from Barcelona watching. Link to comment

Equal pay I’m sure, and they play best of 3 to the men’s best of 5 sets. Games done in under an hour, men’s tennis regularly 4 hours plus. Link to comment

If a man wins all his matches in 5 sets he doesn't get more money. Length of time on court & games/sets played aren't relevant to the paycheque. Link to comment

I just find it bizzare how stupid folk are, just give advice whether it be young boys, girls, women and if they have the talent it will shine through. Winds me up when you meet parents or coaches suddenly think they are the new Fergie. Get your coaching badges if you are that good or just let have folk have fun and enjoy playing football.

I'm just saying it's completely different to men's football and comparing them is daft IMO. It gets compared as the media compare it with men's. Look at the stuff with the Brazilian female being 'top scorer' at world cups, for example Link to comment
