Therapist Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 womans football is a decent standard :eek: The Scottish wimmin's international team wouldn't beat a decent male under-15 side.

I disagree with you ,I coach at U15 level girls football and I can tell you this theres a lot of talented footballers out there think you should get your arse down to your local girls team and see for yourself granted not every girl has got it but all are very committed Did you see the goals between Scotland v Russia on Sunday (Quality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you do an admirable job but I'd rather watch paint dry. Wimmin play namby pamby football. Did you see the goals between Scotland v Russia on Sunday (Quality) No. I'd rather watch Songs of Praise. It's easy to score "quality" goals when there are no tough tackles flying in.

Denny Crane Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Just. The girls went out on away goals (4-4) after coming from behind to win 1-2 in Russia this evening. Hard lines ladies. Good effort! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/women/7700799.stm If we can ignore the uneducated views of the poor man's Alf Garnett that is Therapist for one moment, it certainly was a good effort. Although the coach Anna Signeul must be disappointed in her side being pipped at the post, there are a couple of crumbs of comfort. Namely, the vast majority of her squad are part-time with the Russians being well-paid full-time professional footballers. Secondly, when she took charge three years ago, Scotland travelled to Russia and were thrashed 6-0 for their trouble. From that to the closest the Scottish women's team has come to qualifying for a major tournament (they hadn't even reached a play-off until now) shows the amount of progress both she and the team have made. Knowing her, I doubt if she will count that as a success and will want to improve on that for when the qualifying procedure for the next World Cup begins.

JamboMarc Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 totally disagree with you! in my opinion womans football is of a decent standard and woman have as much right to play football as men Actually, a few years ago when I was playing U15's, we played Scotland's U21's womans team. It was a warm up before they went to somewhere like Holland for their Euro championships a week later. I played for Edinburgh youth development, and we beat them 3 - 1 at Meggetland! Also, we were told to take it easy in the tackles on them!! They were ok, but I was expecting better, they were probably the equivalent to a mid-table U15's boys team!

Say What Again Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Whats good about failure? Easy to argue they didn't fail. Yes, the failed to reach the final stages of the tournament, but they still achieved more than they'd ever done before. As has also been pointed out, they lost 6-0 in Russia last time, this time they won. So they're making progress. Your logic implies that if Hearts get the Champions League final and lose on penalties to Real Madrid they'd be failures. In fact, you'd probably boo them.

The problem with this country is they glorify failure, is good to have tried and failed, not its not, win or dont bother. Im not detracting from the fact they have improved, they obviously have and good on them, but their is no glory in defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
