RedRevolution Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Does anyone read the AFC Ladies content? I'd much prefer it to be in a section all on its own so I dont have to be told about their latest defeat. Am I out of touch because its winding me up. 4 2 Link to comment

We should disband the women’s team as they’re honkingly bad, as is all women’s football. It’s a different sport. Waste of money that could be spent better elsewhere. 6 1 Link to comment
Howard Marks Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The sheer complete lack of interest in the SWPL is a shame really but a reflection of the quality. I've just watched highlights of Glasgow City defeating Glasgow Women 11-0 in front of two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Dire. Hun women beating Hamilton 6-0 at Broadwood. About 7 folk there. Dubdee United v Partick Thistle at a training complex across the road from Tannadice in front of a smattering of fans. The lack of anyone caring that the Dons game got moved to behind closed doors at Cormack Park sums up the apathy. Link to comment
Helmet Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Shame, when I saw the thread title I thought they'd set up an OnlyFans or something. 1 Link to comment

They’ll be getting 6,000 people coming to watch them at the new stadium though remember 2 Link to comment

RUL Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I’d be curious as to the cost of having a women’s team. If it’s a few grand I’m not bothered. It’s a shambles how they are being run. No manager. No sub goalkeeper. No fans allowed in. And pumped most weeks. I dunno why we got involved as we’ve not exactly shown any knowledge about running a men’s team over the years Link to comment

Isn't their a handful of full-time women's players at club now? Link to comment
sigh Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Its not just that - ladies age group / kids / junior teams, apparently all decked out in new / latest strips, trackies etc, come along to games in the fancy bus with "media" group (photographers) - and then they get pumped off the ladies junior teams they are playing against - its no even like the AFC team is talented against the ladies age group teams they are up against, who are all amateur's and have nae money. Must be costing a fortune to fund all the female age group teams, then the ladies team - all for getting folk into sport, just doesnt need that level of investment 1 Link to comment

They also have significantly more potential for growth than the men’s team. If you’re nae into it, just ignore it and move on with your life. It has less than zero effect on your existence. 1 2 4 Link to comment

Astonishingly the Edinburgh derby wifies match got over 8k at it back in November was played at Tynecastle Same weekend, arse cheek ladies (at Broadwood) got slightly over 3k. Lanarkshire derby got 521 at New Douglas Park. DAB ladies v Aberdeen ladies....444.... Link to comment

Dal Riata Don Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 🎵If you think it's a waste of money, Don't scream and shout, Cause I'll be in the toilets knocking one out Over the ladies. Ladies? AFC Ladies! Now their goal difference is bad, But don't cause a kerfuffle, Cause I'll be in the toilets having a five knuckle shuffle Over the ladies. Ladies? AFC Ladies! Now they're bottom of the league, and may not survive. Don't tell me cause I've been, having a quick low five Over the ladies Ladies? AFC Ladies! Some want them disbanded, But we should give thanks, Cause I've been in the toilets enjoying a wank Over the ladies Ladies? AFC Ladies!🎵 1 Link to comment
