Well done to the England ladies football team. Last night they qualified for the fourth consecutive time fr the World Cup Finals. Any chance please of the men's team catching up?

Barry Sheene Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Really enjoyed this game with the partisan Welsh crowd trying to intimidate the England players and the Welsh players giving 100 percent commitment diving into tackles and raising there game. Unfortunately for them the quality of the English game was more than good enough for a 3-0 win even with a perfectly good goal ruled out for off side in the first half. It was a winner takes all game and I was very impressed with the way our players handled the pressure and we have now qualifed for the next world cup with a match to spare.

For a start they need to catch up with the men who have qualified for six on the trot. Secondly it is in no way comparable is it. 5,000 people watching and plenty of room for more to attend if they wanted to ... That said, fair play to them.

Why? Because the BBC would very much like you to watch and care about the only football it can afford to show. Helps to justify some jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is almost nobody is interested in watching women's football, and that won't change however much over emphasis is put on it by the media, and particularly the BBC.

It won’t change middle aged men’s minds but maybe young daughters or grandchildren of those men might aspire to play etc due to the coverage. I just don’t see it as a bad thing? It’s not like we only have one channel anymore is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point of nobody is exaggeration. Viewing figures, attendances and participation levels are increasing. Would you prefer it if women's sport was given no coverage?
