Francis Albert Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well done and good luck to them.

Swarlos Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 To be fair they did get humiliated by Glasgow City a few weeks ago. 18 - 0 was the final score! How is that even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 To be fair they did get humiliated by Glasgow City a few weeks ago. 18 - 0 was the final score! How is that even possible. ladies football is a funny game, and some of it can be akin to the mens game in its early days when huge scores were not unusual (36-0 was a famous score that Arbroath beat a team by.) I watched Hearts U19s beat St Cuthbert 18-0 at Tynecastle last season and it is just fairly regular goals all through the match. It is a tough result for them but they were playing the best team in Scotland, Hearts ladies were only created just over a season before but the team they were before (they effectively changed the name of a team) had just got promoted from the third tier of the ladies game. What was more of note was that they got to the quarter-finals of the Scottish cup. The more established the team become the lower scores likes this will become against the big teams.

Also well done to whoever decided on the "Hearts Women" name rather than using the rather twee "Ladies" title. "Get stuck in Ladies" just wouldn't work. I disagree FA. Always thought that "Ladies" was much more sophisticated and refined. Most female's teams call themselves "Ladies" with the honourable exception of Doncaster Belles. I think "Women" sounds vulgar and common and we shouldnt call ourselves that (even if its true). I suppose I should be pleased its not "Hearts Bursd" GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Re: the Glasgow City defeat City are a division higher than Hearts (ie. top flight) and have won it the last three years (it is usually between them and Celtic Ladies) and have gone acquitted themselves well (as an unpaid amateur outfield - who albeit train five nights a week) in the European Champions league where they face some teams from countries who operate a full-time structure (Germany for example). So a thumping of Hearts was not to be expected and City may well go on to win that cup competition they faced our ladies in. Besides, look at City's results this season and have a look at what they did to Kilmarnock - doesn't bear thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combo1974 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think there are some pretty narrow minded views on this thread. While the standard, at this stage, may not be great there is no reason why there shouldn't be an outlet for womens football. Many young girls, including my 8 years old daughter, are taking up football and knowing that the big football clubs have womens teams gives them something to aspire to. There are a lot of men, myself included, who are playing competitive football at a pretty poor standard, that doesn't mean its pointless. I like the thought of Hearts adopting a "sporting club" approach that is seen on the continent with many big clubs. For example Barcelona have football, basketball, swimming and hockey teams, amongst others. Its a great way of getting the whole community involved and getting the club name/brand known. I think Hearts are one of the more progressive clubs in Scotland with great community programs and I think branching into womens football is another positive step.

If I have daughters then i want them to get involved in sports and I would love it if they could aspire to one day play for a team that is connected with Hearts. I don't know why some people have such a problem with it, it is not as if it is set up to replace men's football... i think it is a great move by Hearts and I want them to keep progressing. Don't understand why it is so obviously offensive to some folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard is genuinely worse than pub football level. Waste of time. A pint of bitter please. 'er indoors. Et cetera. Women's football ain't so bad. Hibs ladies (crackhoors) used to train on the astro my team used directly after us. One night they were having a bounce game against Mussy Windsor u21s and a few of us hung around to watch it. The Windsor, as at all age groups, were a top team at that age group and the ladies held their own against them. No doubting the lads were maybe holding back a little, not wanting to be the guy that nails a girl (ooopsie, fnar, missus and so on) but still, the girls knocked the ball around quite nicely and I was pretty happy i wasn't playing against them. A look at reent World Cups etc, would show you some pretty skillful players. Goalies are still shan though. And before you ask, yes I did thrash myself silly that night. I really like Mussy Windsor u21s to be fair. Anyway, I think the Hearts Women are self funded mostly - they have different sponsorship etc. I think they use our name and get a bit of access to our facilities and links within the game, but I'm not sure much else. Could be wrong - maybe one of the girls or coaches is a member on here and could set that straight....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough though Mothy, look forward to seeing your daughter in her Hearts strip. Cheeky Kent. ... With mine and Mrs Moth's genes she would be way out of your league buddy. On a serious note though, I only posted the topic as I think it is important to the club to have community initiatives and IF I do have any lassies I think it is great that they could aspire to play in a team that is associated with Hearts. Any time I post something about their progress from the site the thread always becomes the same tired arguments about the general subject rather than commenting on the actuall story. Any sports team with a connection to our club will get my support... Dinnae think i will be attending too many games or anything but i think that as a part of Heart of midlothian, they deserve a wee mention when they are doing well.

Tommy Wiseau Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I recently found myself in a game in which a couple of girls - who played at a high ladies' standard - played. I ripped the actual pish out of them without breaking out of a jog. And I play at low Monday night fives standard. Makes you proud to be a man. Darwin - 1, Trying To Pretend Women Can Play Despite Not Having The Raw Goods - 0 Reminds me of when Andy Murray said that Serena and Venus would be lucky to break the top 1000 in the men's rankings. Henman and McEnroe didn't even bother to try and argue. Just nodded and mumbled, "Glad you said that, not me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
