All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Scotland are keeping the ball for even less time than Hearts this season. Still quite a bit behind the English in class but at least the effort is there. That can't always be said about the mens team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get them, we won't and we'll be paying a fortune for the privilege. Handball, particularly in the penalty area, has to be nailed down definitively. No more dubiety, interpretation or an opinion of a referee which is loaded with bias and/or fear of having his windows tanned. Handball in the box=penalty. It could lead to lots of awards but it would increase goals in games and perhaps lead to more attacking football. Surely a big incentive to get forward and get the ball in the box. Probably not, in all honesty, the answer but I'd rather that than the decision still being in the hands of some bias/terrified punter from Lanarkshire.

Kiwidoug Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I hope Scotland don't suffer a mental backlash as a result of their first game being the high prestige game. They would have expanded tremendous physical and emotional energy in that contest. Hopefully they have emerged more encouraged than disappointed and will be ready mentally for the next contest. As we Hearts supporters know only too well, you get exactly the same number of points for beating Livingston as you do for beating Celtic. That doesn't always seem to translate to the players. Fingers crossed for a historic WC first win later in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so. Women can't kick the balls hard, unless the wages are short. You seem to have a problem understanding that the women are playing other women, and nobody is expecting them to compete against or with mean. If your churlish argument (repeated over two threads) is that they couldn’t compete against men, then I’m pretty sure everyone agrees with you. That’s why there’s no men there playing against them. Do you sit and watch Wimbledon and get in a rage when it’s The Womens’ Final because the Champion wouldn’t beat a bloke? Do you wind yourself up in to right ball of rage when a woman gets a gold medal at the olympics for sprinting, because her time isn’t as quick as the men? Totally weird running down womens’ sport for these reasons. Doesn’t make you look good, and it just ruins the thread for everyone else.

Diving, pretending to be hurt, time wasting, barrel roles, fake waving cards.... Like the men do- A lot. I'm sure if thier ankle was really snapped or they were unconscious they would stay down. Also, in regards to force, let a women kick boxer kick you in the face, see if it hurts.
