Womens football

[Old Darwen Blue]

I caught the beginning of a womens premier league game on sky yesterday. This was a game between Reading and Chelsea so together with being a local Derby, featured what some may say is one of the best ladies sides in the world. Before Reading scored apparently Chelsea had gone over 700 minutes without conceding a goal according to the commentator.
Now looking at this picture can anyone spot what the main issue is with womens footy?

Anybody surprised by this?
Apart from those who keep pushing it at us and saying it's equal to the men's game

Are crowds a concern before Euros?

Are low crowds at the inaugural Arnold Clark Cup tournament a cause of concern for England before the home Euros?

Nope, not at all. There is and old saying in retail......The customer is always right.

I can't raise any enthusiasm for women's football. Maybe I'm a misogynist. That seems to be the new favourite word at the moment.

I suppose there is that much money in football that they can afford to pay for and drag the women´s game along, but for how long?

Even only opening one side of the ground and putting the cameras at the opposite end isn't going to wash for long.

Embarrassing attendances so far . . . . . Football is just not so popular with females, just like Yoga isn't so popular with males. . .

With a bit of Nazi thrown in don´t forget.

Big headline about Barcelona women's team having a sell out crowd.
Then you read on and find out they gave away 50,000 tickets for free

Barca's women could break attendance record again

Barcelona's women could break their own world record attendance after the Champions League semi-final first leg against Wolfsburg sells out.

Sorry but I can't whip up any enthusiasm whatsoever for Woman's football.

One of the Womens Euros competition fixtures is being played at Leigh where our U23s play, I kid you not!

I can't understand some of you guys.
Here, the women's game/ games of whatever code are celebrated.
Just get over it, when the womens international team wins, enjoy it. It's a win for the country, and softens the blow when the blokes stuff it up.

I'll support anyone who promotes the game of football. These girls do, in a big way. Sam Kerr 20.

Said on the radio this morning that some lass is only one behind Wayne Rooneys record. It was of course on bbc radio who push the sport constantly.
