Meh Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Sorry if already posted but noticed Women’s team playing today against the scousers and live on BT Sport. Going to give it a go as not watched them before and will be a refreshing change to watch a city team with passion, spirit and desire. Also the on BT Sport against Exeter tomorrow so another good to watch game from a packed AG !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 It’s also Bath v. Worcester at 12:45pm which will be worth keeping an eye on (should be live on RugbyPass) followed by England v. Japan then Scotland v. SA. That’s today sorted!

Erithacus Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Good on you, Neo. You'll find it a different atmosphere and possibly a refreshing one. Just to warn you though, follow the website's advice and park in the approved (Aviva) offices and not the SCG grounds as they have now put parking meters up there! And if you have a little one (particularly a female) it may be just the ticket for them. I hope the fact that they are playing at 3pm on a Saturday doesn't mean a lot of the fans are involved with games elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Are they really called "Vixens"? With that and Bristol Bears we must be in line for the silliest team names award. Can we rename Bristol City the Bristol Budgerigars just to guarantee it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 If BS is to mean anything perhaps we can play some of these forwards against Leeds. Good set pieces and cool finishing. Failing that could their coaches take training before the Leeds game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Some may not like the concept of Bristol Sport but I feel that every bit of publicity for Bristol helps. On a day when Rovers lose 2-1 to the mighty Scunthorpe, City beat Liverpool 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a day when Rovers lose 2-1 to the mighty Scunthorpe, City beat Liverpool 2-1. Well said pongo. I watched second half. Vixens defended well and made several good attacking breaks. Male ref gave several very soft decisions in favour of Liverpool but of course didn't see anything wrong with the same things done by Liverpool. BBC Women's Football page headline says "Bristol City beat out of form Liverpool". Funny how it is always the big club out of sorts rather than the fact that the non big name club played well.

Davefevs Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I watched the first half hour and was disappointed by the quality. The woman’s game is often quoted as being very technical without the power and pace. I saw a poor level of technical quality in that first half hour. You expect it to be better, especially on artificial surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an artificial pitch at SGS, pretty certain it's grass The game is evolving, most of the senior players wouldn't have been involved in academies like there are now for girls football.

If it is grass, then it's a pretty decent surface, and no excuses to not be able to pass and move.
