Scotland Women


Recommended Posts


I said earlier on this thread, if they want to be treated equally then they should have been slaughtered after the 6-0 defeat last year.

They did get slaughtered for their showing in the tournament to be fair. But the manager and a few players who had been picked simply for nostalgia were already quitting anyway, so was no point in demanding change when it was already coming.

 

And the media criticism was reserved to a few side columns in the papers because that was the level of coverage they were getting rather than back page headlines.

Fair point, but is there a demand for it?

 

The acid test would be whether people would pay to watch it.  I, however, have no issue with it being on as a space filler and indeed if the standard goes up, then all good.

 

To move off on a tangent and then double back for a parallel, there was a while where I preferred watching women's tennis (relative to men's tennis, although in reality I am no huge fan of tennis in general), because they would actually run about and have rallies and play the game, as opposed to the mens game, which for a while was just blokes standing on the base line launching cannonballs at each other.  It seems to have improved.

 

So I suppose what I am saying is that women's sport can be entertaining enough, but the current standard of football is low.

 

 

Pretty much agree with all of that. Football could go the same way as the tennis did for a while with women's games having more skill rather than the physical side of it for obvious reasons, just isn't like that yet.

 

 

A demand for it? Really? It’s utterly shit. I’ve tried watching a few games and the standard is abysmal. The goalkeepers are like something out of some slapstick comedy programme.

Demand for it as in folk wanting to play and show an interest in it and the games being used to promote girls to be able to play sports that they like rather than being forced into netball or lacrosse or knitting. Some of the men's games are absolute shite too, or are you conveniently forgetting that?

 

  

Mate. 5,000 watching Wales v England in a world cup qualifying match. I'm sure when I was wee I can remember about 60 of us watching 2 dogs fuck. It's only just up from that.

Break time at Woodlands wasn't very entertaining then?

On the contrary, I'm the one correcting your basic logical errors and keeping the topic on point.

 

It's clear that a lot of this is way over your head, though, which is presumably why you're resorting to ad hominem rather than actually deconstructing my argument.

 

I've a crazy low tolerance for that sort of interaction, so I'll put you on block now.

 

Good luck in your future endeavours.

Sorry I missed this. You are full of shite. Self absorbed bullshit. Plot was well and truly lost.

 

"Deconstructing your argument"? Lol.

You are arguing with yourself it seems.

That or you couldn't cope with a reply to your amazing boxing video stating how pathetic and un-entertaining it was and then have tried to invent an argument with which to show how clever you feel you are and that your post had a deeper meaning. Ego hurt maybe?

 

Either way, I still (repeat) don't see what point you think you are making or what it is that I don't agree with. I fail to see what this "argument" could even be. These would be my "basic logical errors", which doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm sure you'd agree.

 

The only thing I can think of that could have been construed as argument is the bit when you said something about feminism and proceeded to define it with complete nonesense. Anyhoo probably best if you talk amongst yourself.

Beezer of an article on the BBC there

 

 

"Old Firm derby finishes goalless... but why did people not know about it?"

 

Because nobody fucking cares. There were many sporting events on this weekend that equally went under the radar. Again because nobody gives a shit about them.

Even worse is the absolutely abhorrent attitude that because the words "old firm" are attached to something we're all supposed to be pissing ourselves with excitement about it.

 

Might as well have asked why nobody was watching the old firm dominoes at the weekend.

 

Fuck off you myopic cunts.

It is in actual fact the real Lorraine Kelly. 

 

She posted that picture herself when she was going through a phase of posting saucy snaps of herself online. Some of the others included... 

 

...the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty little minx that she is...
