Some of the keeping in the old days was howling as well Tbf. Woman are still a good bit smaller in average than men, always have been.

Currently Scottish football has probably similar crowds to league one football. on toniights Viewing about an hour, it doesn't compare to the English game for me and I wouldn't pay to watch - unless I had someone i knew playing... Sorry I don't get the hype, it's a different game and really not that good. Very smart ... but not very clever. Tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaw Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Bad miss from the China forward player early on, taking a touch rather than shoot into an unguarded net. Germany beginning to dominate as expected and look dangerous from set-pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a long way to go but as more women get into it the standard will raise. I just think as fans of Scottish football we have a cheek turning our nose up at lower/other/different levels when many people could make those very same accusations about our game. It's the level it currently is and it's best to either ignore it or try to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to the game tomorrow more than tonight...simply because the girls tomorrow will likely give their absolute all and play with their heart rather than the overpaid wasters that will be on show tonight if they've bothered to make themselves available.

No worries bud. I find the hype doesn’t match the product (no where near) and I feel it’s a bit forced, by an equality agenda. The press and tv coverage , particularly through the beeb, to me is forced. I accept that EPL vs SpL gap is massive, but it’s still the same sport and atmosphere... this is for different customers and not for me.

Funny, I thought the ref was German, the way Chinese tackles were winning the ball and ref giving freekicks for Germany??? Some of the advantages were ridiculous as well, one of them the ball was moved up field 50 yards and once Germany lost possession pulled it all the way back to the centre circle? I think the men's game is bad for biased refs, but it looks like the woman's is the same!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
