Due to come into force after world cup campaign ends. You are on the windup aren't you?Resorting to bribary now are they.You need to buy tickets for the womens games so you can get enough points to get tickets for the mens away games.So basically they would be creating a false interest in the womens game that would be driven by people wanting to follow the mens team.That better not be true.Even for the sfa that would be a new low. If it was true......when do we start the protests.Then again,you are kidding!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I've just watched corsie speaking about this. she just dug a deeper hole for herself but I'm sure she and some of other players will get to feel like victims She's trying to make out people can't go to the game because the ground isn't fully open. No, it's because not enough people are interested in watch the womens national team yet. Edited April 9, 2022 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really stupid childish behaviour. Any goodwill quickly draining away. These idiots should realise how lucky they are to be making a living playing at that standard. Had to laugh when the first item on the bbc radio sports news was that some english womens footballer was only 3 goals away from becoming englands greatest goalscorer. Don't seem to remember rooney playing in many games when england scored 10,12,15 or even 20 goals. It really is time to put the womens game into perspective. Not got a problem with women playing, but don't try to elevate it to anywhere near the mens game in quality or importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to say they were actually saying she was within 3 goals of overtaking Rooney as englands greatest goalscorer. Embarrassing that anybody would make any comparison between the two. Thats woke for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of looking after the people who actually help keep them in a job ie pay to watch mens football, they will grovel to these characters who basically contribute nothing to the running of the game.

It might be offensive to some people but as far as I can tell, the woman's national team is a money pit. Advertisement is not that appealing and crowd money is shocking but all the logistical costs are much the same as the men's team. Something has to give and you just know it'll be at our end!

weekevie04 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 How about they focus on qualifying first. They fecked up badly last campaign and after two decent tournaments, look miles away from getting to another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than face up to their failure, they try to absolve themselves of any failure by coming out with the old it's somebody elses fault. We are getting discriminated against SHITE. No you aren't, you just aren't good enough. Simple as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThistleWhistle Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 What sort of crowd they looking at? Taking my wee lass to her first game tomorrow so half excited half nervous that a skelping from Spain in-front of a handful of people will put her off for good. 4-5,000 ish?
