Parity for Women's Football

[NEM]

Lia Thomas next year for the box ticking mongos at the BBC

Sports "personality" award - when did anyone with a personality last win that thing. Totally irrelevant box ticking programme nowadays - used to be vaguely interesting about 20-30 years ago.

I heard women's football described as the castor oil of sport. You're forced to have it, you don't like it and it doesn't do you any good.

Should be banned, something very wrong with "womens football".

To be fair anything that gets girls access to any sport is to be praised but let's not pretend it's the same game being played to the same standard. The BBC show it to a) tick a box and b) make up for not having men's football. Football Focus last week had no mention of our League Cup Final as it's not part of the woke exercise.

As much as Joey Barton is a moronic cunt. I kind of have to agree with some of his tweets. The one today about scoring 100 pens in a row against Mary Earps twice on a Sunday was mildly amusing for him.

Not as amusing as the clip of him sending a pen for Man City into orbit. Barton is a clown and a mink. Calling her a sack of spuds was funny though.

[sigh]

Joey Barton making an even bigger plum of himself than usual, no matter if you agree with him or not

[GAME OF BILLIONS]

Here's how I see it...

Let folk play sport and fund it if it gets to a certain level of popularity.

I love football. My hero is Cruyff, he said, "let the people come to the stadium and... enjoy themselves."

Rest in peace, the Bob Dylan of fitba. The Dutch are almost as weird as we are. Almost.

"If I wanted you to understand, I would have explained myself better."

- Cruyff to some journalist cunt

 

Cruyff helped handicapped kids play sport through his foundation, a project that has helped kids in Aberdeen, all over the Earth. To me, the greatest sport is wheelchair basketball, it's so against the grain, playing basketball in a fucking WHEELCHAIR, the guy who came up with THAT was so out to lunch that he might as well have been on the Death Star eating caviar in some sort of ultimate LSD trip that would make Dennis Hopper convert to... working with Keanu Reeves in a film about a bus.

No, 100% for women's football. Wee girls love it, dream of it and what dreams may come when one day, wee Annie McManus may blast a legendary free-kick into the the top corner against the Guffs in the World Cup in the 2031 World Cup at Wembley and many a long, long, loooooong story will be told around the pubs, living-rooms of Scotland. And as elegies.

Football is about dreams. Let the lassies dream. 

We let the men do it. We'll go piling over there into Germania this summer and show these soft, tackle-shirking poseurs what manly, smelly, stinking, SCOTTISH FOOTBALL IS FUCKING ALL ABOUT! Play a record, something with a crescendo...

 

[Poodler]

I see Sam Kerr has done her ACL and there’s record numbers of women in football getting this injury. 
 

one commentator says it’s because women are afraid to bulk up muscle because of their perceived image whilst another says it’s because football boots aren’t made for women and they’re causing the injuries. 

If that’s the case, why do you have to play football then? Go back to dancing and stuff.

 

 

[For Fecks Sake]

Come on to fuck, how many times (even on here) have comments like "he's a unit", "looks like he is carrying too much weight" or "he needs to bulk up" mentioned with regards to male football players.

I liked her comment something like 'the size and shape of someone doesn't determine how they can play football'. 🤔

It's misogynistic to expect a woman footballer to keep in shape and not be a fat cunt.

Duk gets ca'd fat on here all the time. 

[Geoff_Tipps]

I think the winners and runners up of the WPL should be allowed to enter the men's FA cup at R1, similar like they do in darts for the world's. 

I think this will quickly determine whether the parity between men's and woman's football is justifiable. I suspect I know the outcome as the winners of the WPL will get absolutely horsed by a non league entity from the home counties.

Yeah. And let's get female athletics gold medalists to run against the men so they lose. 

Then we can all point and laugh at them and enjoy putting the women down.

The point I am making is why should there be parity for a product that is quite clearly of far poorer quality.

Same goes for women 100m runners? Why should they get the same praise/kudos/medals/prizes when they're fucking slower? 

Get them against the men and we can all go "Hahaha. Women are shit, right?"

I am not saying woman are shit I am just making the point that there is some sports parity is possible (Darts, snooker etc.), but football (& athletics) its difficult to make a case for it as the it's impossible for woman to compete at the same level as men. 

The higher quality the higher the price, it's not fucking hard to understand.

Why is competing "at the same level as men" relevant?

I understand. It's just a fucking stupid comment. Are athletic Olympic gold medals lesser for women than for men? 

Hopefully you've not got any daughters because, given your antipathy towards women, they'll undoubtedly hate you.

I don't have any issue with woman competing at the highest possible level, I think it's a great thing. Especially when you see woman playing against men in the world darts championship, even better when they beat them as well.

Do you think Lauren Gordon should be paid the same as Bojan Miovski?

[Daisy1903]

Women's fitba isn't shite because of any physical attributes. It's shite because the folk playing it are shite.

I don't know who that is, so cannot comment. 

Do you think parsnips are the kings of root veg?

Wants parity but doesn't even know who the number 9 is at Aberdeen Woman FC. Ignorant bastard.

I don't really follow woman's football, bud. 

The difference between me and you though is that I don't see the need to jump in and slag them off at every opportunity. 

You're not interested? That's fine. Leave them to it then. No need to jump in and slag them off. 

The issue is that the whole premise of your argument is dumb. How good they are in relation to the men isn't relevant. It's a different game. 

You never answered re the parsnips. Very rude.

How is womens and mens football a different game? I always thought the rules were exactly the same. The only difference is the quality. If you're saying it's a different game, is it right to assume you believe it's not possible to bring parity?

 

IMO I'd probably say the carrot is the king of root veg, never been a fan of parsnips.

I clearly "hate" woman as they're not as good at football than their male counterparts.

 

How can I hate woman, my mum is one.

[maryhilldon]

The thing is, wummin aren't just slower and weaker, they're just dreadful at the basics. A real lack of 'eye/foot' co-ordination.
