I had assumed it was a lot closer to the mens game. It’s the only glimpse I’ve ever seen of womens football so maybe it’s not the best example of it? Dunno? It’s like anything really, the standard’s good when they’re full time professionals, when they’re not, less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4249 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’ve actually coached some womens football when I was younger and it wasn’t professional but all of the players were dedicated and hard working. The game is growing massively, and as said previously it’s a bit of an open goal for the new owners to support it and I’m all for it. As a disclaimer, the women I coached years ago were miles better than CT could dream of being. Bet he toe ends the ball whenever he kicks it. The keepers are still/have always been shite like, no idea what’s gan on there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I appreciate that, just thought it looked a bit more basic than I was expecting. Anyway, it’s only 5 minutes so I’ll have a much better idea when my research is complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that at that age / level the keeper is often the one who’s not very good at football one can only imagine what the sub keeper was like on the ball. Fortunately it was a good 20 years before the back pass law change 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Yeah great timing for her. She pulled rank too as she’d never normally take a penalty This will definitely snowball, next time they play at SJP they’ll get closer to 40,000. Reading Sunderland fans twisting about the price has got me bad laughing like. Given that I went to SOL & it was the exact same price, there was just 19,000 less people. So bitter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Tbh they’ll easy have had less than 22,000 in the last few years. I think they got 4,000 for a cup game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Popped to this and there was a canny crowd, about 2,500. Unfortunately lost 3-4 but it was a decent game. I'll never understand the fawning over the owners though, although Caulkin walked past me & he's quite a handsome chap Adam P walking about with the face of a stone cold killer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
