I never watch women's darts, snooker or football for the simple reason I want to be entertained by watching the worlds best. Obviously there are women who are the worlds best in the women's versions of those sports, but they aren't THE best in those sports. Cheers. Knitting, washing up ,getting that irritating stain out your Fred Perry, (usually a chicken bhuna) pairing up all the socks out of a big wash ,not compulsive watching!

Deker 3,453 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Whatever...I have to admit I have found the games generally, not just England, entertaining and skilful, women's football has come a long way. Oh yes, and however good the men may be, they haven't won anything since 1966, and the girls did tonight! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No cross bars , pure judgement . Best days of my summers were spent on there , using the fence at one side as give and go , no out unless it went over , the other line was the road , kerb still in play . Cars were an occupational hazard and considerd to be in play so you could play 1 2 against a passing Tyre and be regarded as Gazza Esqe . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I just take it for what it is, it’s football at a certain level……East Thurrock Utd ain’t Barcelona and I don’t expect Barcelona when I pay my £10 to watch them. I just don’t even hear the bollocks they say about this stuff because I don’t watch it enough, like today, I came in at kick off and got up for my dinner when they won. We both know what we are watching no matter what the talking heads on the telly say, bit like when they wheel in some fat spade bird to tell us all what a load of horrible c**ts we all are……not a blind bit of notice. I will still take England beating the Krauts at Wembley in a football match with an all white team……I’ll take that all day long. England ladies, European champions, no spades required !

foxdropper 17,092 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 What a miserable bunch of self obsessed cretins you lot are . Take it for what it is ,ladies football ffs .You don’t have to watch it . We beat the krouts that’s all that matters whether it’s football ,paddle boarding or tiddly winks . I'd rather watch that game time and time again than our overpaid excuses in the mens squad ,whinging about a tap on the shin . When the mens squad actually step up and bring it home then they might get my respect until then the Fannie’s can swivel. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
