054123 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 I really enjoyed that. I think playing at Ashton Gate helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 First and foremost - a win, and a vital one at that! Moves us up above the Hammers although we are a game worse that those around us. Secondly, a great team performance: so many good examples being set tonight. Evans was a rock and read everything, Salmon a constant threat and some solid efforts by some very young players. Could this be the moment the season takes off? I tip my hat to Matt Beard - he's got them working. Hopefully this will inspire the team, Conti Cup Final on Sunday notwithstanding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Good fighting spirit. Hope this gives them some more confidence to get a few more wins to stay up. Any City win is a good win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Good for them. As there are 22 league games a season I believe, surely there is sufficient space in the calendar for them to play 11 games at Ashton Gate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d quite like to see them play after us / on the evening, say 7pm k/o. Quick bite to eat between games. Then 9pm basketball....perfect! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 They don't play in the Toolstation, it's the WSL. And they don't play Toolstation teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it’s improving etc. But the level of that is so poor. They need play on smaller pitches with smaller nets that would hugely improve the standard 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddoh Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 to be honest I enjoyed the game and the standout for me , for the first time since the war they are matching the men's attendance levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea recently lost 2-1 at home to Brighton Not long ago we beat Brighton 3-0 Chelsea travel to Madrid for a champions league match Wednesday afternoon, so hopefully a bit of a tiring journey for them City will be buzzing confidence wise, fingers crossed..... Oh and after that City only have the small matter of playing Manchester City in the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were better technically than our ladies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t. Particularly as they play the best of 3 sets, not 5. And us men wonder why we die on average 4.5 years younger - the grossest injustice of supposed equality of the sexes. That said, still thought it was a decent watch tonight, with some excellent goals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equality - The state of being equal. I compared the standard, because that’s what equality is. The level in the women’s game is of course the highest in England, however to be impartial and practice equality I compared it to the men’s game. It was a good game of women’s football. If you watched men play at that level, you would be watching Toolstation that was my comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched men play at that level, you would be watching Toolstation that was my comparison. I don’t understand your point. When you watch the athletics, do you cheer on Dina Asher-Smith or do you just sit there and comment that men can run faster? I fully expect a professional men’s team to beat a professional women’s team. I’m not saying it would happen every single time, but given the biological differences, you would think it likely. So what? I don’t watch my kids play football and just pass comment that ‘of course the U’16s would beat this lot’ Did you enjoy it? That’s all that matters. I get that it feels ridiculous when in an effort to raise the profile of the game, it gets compared to men’s football. That’s unnecessary. You need to see past that and accept it and enjoy it for the sport that it is. If you do, great. If not, that’s cool too. I don’t enjoy every sport. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
