MarcusX Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 It’s a football chat, not specifically city so why wouldn’t we discuss them here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Cheers @FrozenRobin; whilst some talk others do. Though I would have expressed it in a more polite way tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Bloody hell, I don't think anyone would say they don't give a shit about them, before it's too late you should amend that if you can, Frozen Rob, it looks and reads terrible.

Daniel James Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Would prefer a women’s area and a men’s area like the non football chat area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Give it a thread and sticky it? If Rovers have a thread with almost 1200 pages why not do one for the women? Anyone who wants to debate it has easy access to it and people who don't like multiple threads on it cropping up just have to avoid one thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Not sure about equal but I do take an interest, so if the threads are clearly titled I'm happy to host them on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!james Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Because it's such a hard ship to not click on the occasional thread about women's football? This forum is called 'All Things Football'... Can we have a separate forum for the Rovers thread too then please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether BCFC women have a separate forum or a single thread is equally good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the context, I really have no interest in women’s football, don’t click on the threads usually, so you could say I don’t give a shit about them. That said, I hope they enjoy what they do, if it encourages girls to get out and exercise and learn some lessons in life that team sports teach, then fine.

Exactly this and we are all part of a bigger picture funded by Mr L so why not just accept it. After all most people are sensible with topic headers so if you want to avoid you can in general.

Anybody out playing sports is good be it women's rugby or transgender squash. I'm not actually interested in it however and don't want it being stealth posted into news of a team in which I am interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women's football goes in the same filing cabinet as cats, Nepal and the Monster Raving Loony Party. They exist, they have no bearing on my life, but I hope they carry on enjoying what they're doing.

Shtanley Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 They're a team under the Bristol City umbrella, I probably pay as much attention to them as I do some of our youth teams and naturally hope they do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all most people are sensible with topic headers so if you want to avoid you can in general. But this is why we have rules on the forum so that people know what to expect in a particular subforum. We won last Saturday, comfortably, 5-2. So don't want this muddied by headlines about an entirely separate team losing 11-1 to a totally separate Man City team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 None of the above? I’d happily watch Bristol City women, I’ve always enjoyed supporting the woman’s national team. I don’t view them as the same thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I have no interest in women’s football so I don’t click the threads. If only other people followed that example on things they have no interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U23s Premier Championship European To me it's simpler as it is What I don't understand is the number of people who moan about womens football on a thread. It's simple if you don't have any interest don't read the thread and especially don't bother replying I wouldn't vote for any of the options, they certainly are not equal to the mens team but as its clearly a football forum it has a place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I take a glancing interest purely because their name associates them with Bristol City, otherwise I couldn’t care less. It’s nice that women get the opportunity to play the game, but it’s got nothing to do with us really and I wouldn’t even class women’s football as “football”. It’s more of a separate sport in its own right, as far as I’m concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might actually be good as people who do support them may be put off joining on here as the threads about them will be lost amongst the men's ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Purely from a practical point of view I would have them separate from the men's game. But there aren't that many threads about them anyway, so I'm not really fussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 If you lose 11-0..........it's not called Football.......but it is called Target Practice? PS OOh sorry 11-1 (Great Pen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think we should add sub-forums for the rugby, basketball and women’s footie. Not ‘front page’ though as we need to keep enough space for criticism of Lee Johnson, CoD and Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'm not interested personally, but I'm not bothered if others are. It's not like we have dozens of threads on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
