Parity for Women's Football

When the options are either ignoring or going out of my way to ignorantly put down women and girls for absolutely no reason, I'd always choose the former. 

Guys who feel the need to compare women's football to men's in order to put it down just come across as pathetic. Their behaviour is akin to calling women 100m runners shit and slow because they'd get beaten by Usain Bolt. It's nonsensical. 

No one is making you watch the women's game if you're not interested. Leave the birds to it and focus your energy on something you do like, rather than slagging off lassies. 

I meant in general.

Double whammy today for the arse cheeks, with any one of Glasgow Women, Rangers or Celtic in a position to win the title in the last game of the season.

Celtic crusing 2-0 in pole position while GW and Rangers played out a nil nil that suited neither of them.

However, GW pop up with a last minute injury time winner to sink Rangers, deny Celtic the title and lift the trophy themselves.

Don't care who it is or whos playing it, but seeing both of the arse cheeks (both playing in front of decent crowds at home) being left with a skelpt face is brilliant in my book 😆

It was Glasgow City that won the league.

Glasgow Women are a totally different side that finished rock bottom and relegated with a record of P32, L32 GD -141 Pts 0. Hamilton Accies wifies relegated alongside them on 27 points

Aberdeen wifies finished 9th on 30 points with a goal difference of only -38. Pipped DABS split-arses by a point to finish there.

Caught few minutes of the Dons v Motherwell game on Sportscene last night or was it the night before don't remember. 

I do however remember being shocked by just how shite the football was. It was schoolboy level. Far worse than I'd imagined in my worst nightmares. Aberdeen have got this lassie, think she's called Patterson. Fucking hell she is some size. How she can run around for 90 minutes without bursting I've no idea. It's miraculous. 

Donna Patterson? I know her better behave yourself chief and nae lifted some night!

The original title for this thread was "Parity for Women's Football."

The quality of the Women's game is not nearly high enough to merit parity.

Surely parity should be phased to improvement as the Women's game evolves.

However the sums being discussed for Ronaldo playing, and Messi potentially playing, in Saudi are completely obscene and determine that, even if parity was the ultimate goal, it will never happen.

There isn't even parity in the various countries and leagues on the Men's game. 

 

The equation is fairly simple, they should and will get paid in accordance with the commercial value of the product. Same reason Mbappe is rolling in it while playing for Albion Rovers means you need a second job.

Australia women calling out FIFA for only offeering a quarter of the prize money that the mens team got at the last World Cup.

The last womens World Cup in 2019 generated $750 million in revenue, the last mens world cup in 2022 generated $7.5 billion in revenue. 

They're extremely fortunate to be getting a quarter of the prize money of the men.
