I do think that is changing in the men’s game though. It’s historically been the case here, but nowhere near as much in places like Brazil / Spain / Portugal etc. it would be a shame for the women’s game to to make all the same mistakes the men’s game has.
It isn't.
There are kits that need to be ironed too.

I am ON FIRE TODAY 🔥🔥🔥🔥
On a serious note though. I was thinking this morning...
This is still going then? I assumed my insightful first post would be followed by a few people agreeing with supporting statements, a few hundred thumbs up and then we could all move on to something else.
There is a girl in my son’s under 10’s team. She’s decent. Girls play football in the playground if they want to. There are two girls in my nephew’s Under 13’s team. I don’t know what the rules are on when they have to go to girls football, but they’re certainly not being split up at the moment...
Someone else mentioned this yesterday, and it’s a good point that I hadn’t considered. I guess my argument against it would be that the game has come on so much since then with tactics and systems and technical ability that if we played in goal sizes today equivalent to average male heights...
I don’t really get why my 10 year old son would be a worse footballer than a 10 year old girl, because girls were banned from playing the game 50 years ago. Unless you are suggesting there has been some kind of evolutionary development in human males that has enabled them to kick a football...
As I said, I expected more robust ripostes than I received. Which suggests a lot of people think along similar lines. I’m not quite sure why you think I am hurt or alarmed by people’s responses. I have to say I don’t feel either hurt or alarmed, thankfully. I think I’ll be OK.
Excellent post sir.
The fact is, Brighton should be getting more than 5,000 for a women’s game in the WSL on a Friday night with dirt cheap tickets. They threw everything they could at it last night to attract people, but the level of interest clearly isn’t there yet. The club are frustrated...
Because it’s hard not to. Watched one game on Tuesday and it was great, watched another on Friday and it was crap. It’s human nature to put the two together and think one was far better than the other, isn’t it?
You are correct of course, I should put on a dunce’s cap for not following the approved viewpoint on women’s football. I must remember to think how I am told to think in future.
Presumably you don’t have kids that play football? As I can tell you that in the hundreds of thousands of villages and cities across the country, the pitch and goal size changes 4 times before the kids are 12. In fact, I am standing on Lindfield Common right now watching 3 separate teams train...
Wow. I really don’t know where to start with that. I went along to this one because my best mate’s daughter (who has become a massive Brighton fan, in part because of me) was a mascot, along with the rest of her girl’s football team, and I wanted to support her. I’m currently watching my son’s...
So it’s moved on from ‘don’t comment if you haven’t watched it’ to now ‘well you’ve watched it but you deliberately didn’t enjoy it’. Perhaps I should be forced to enjoy it somehow?
With food / drinks / travel I must have spent close to £100 last night for a family of 4. Maybe I’m different to...
All makes sense. Except I’m not comparing the to Premier League players. I watched Lewes beat Horsham on Tuesday night, the standard there was far, far superior.
That has always been my view. But the way it has been pushed and pushed and pushed by the Albion and the media in general suggests otherwise. Giving almost equal coverage to a sport that brings in a tiny percentage of the viewing figures and revenue is hugely disproportionate, and suggests that...
Absolutely. I obviously thought a few times before posting it. At one point I wasn’t going to because I felt it was mean to the women. Then I remembered the absolute bollocks that the men constantly have written about them and decided it would be sexist not to.
This isn’t meant to be a...
