Yeah, the ways in which it's not changing for the better is due to our governments ideological austerity policies. Hence why todays kids are expected to be poorer than their parents, something unheard of in modern history. Hee haw to do with woman's fitba or trans people. Not sure why you think these things impact your life in any way at all. 3 minutes ago, BaaBaaRedSheep said: Mon the right to moan about it😉. You can moan about whatever you like.

Fair doos min, everyday's a school day. If you pardon the pun. Whole heartedly agree with you regarding the damage that Tory austerity has/is causing. Poverty, and the affects of poverty, should be reduced not increased. Still not a fan of the quality of woman's football, albeit if it makes them happy who am I to moan too much. Regarding trans? Perhaps a larger subject worthy of a separate thread one day. I really don't get it but perhaps a strong, considered debate may influence my opinion, or not. Link to comment

Take the Dons for example. Every penny spent on that shite is a penny less spent on the real team. So yes we are quite right to speak out against it. It's getting forced upon us just like gay blacks on telly and women with cocks. Enough. Just one more utterance of shite comes out of your flappy lips and you're on the list. 2 Link to comment

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. Link to comment

BaaBaaRedSheep Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 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. Link to comment

For Fecks Sake Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 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 😆 Link to comment
For Fecks Sake Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Even better, it appears Rangers scored an equaliser and the crowd at Celtic went mental celebrating only to eventually find out it had been chalked off 😆 Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment

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! Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Been watching the soccer aid game this evening. A few ex England women’s internationals playing. The ones that won the euros. Some of the celebrities playing are streets ahead of them ability wise. Link to comment

zeroisgod76 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 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. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12922375/womens-world-cup-australia-women-call-out-fifa-over-prize-money-with-figures-a-quarter-that-of-men Link to comment
