Anyone who does is sexist, misogynist or chauvinist or whatever. It’s diabolical and is representative of today’s modern woke culture.

The interest in the game is minimal therefor tickets are ridiculously cheap or free and the only reason why tv/radio are covering it so much is because if they don’t they will be criticised.

I can barely watch 5 minutes of women’s football personally - it’s dreadful. And I couldn’t care less if that offends anyone!




Here Here! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, can't say any negative about anything these days, the world has gone mad! I personally can't get into woman football, as the standard doesn't entertain me, doesn't mean I am sexist. It is just not for me..


No it doesn't at all. That's your opinion and you are 100% entitled to your choice and decision.

Just for the record, and if I haven't made it clear, it was the 'they can't roll over because of their breasts' and the 'ticking diversity boxes' type comments that I took issue with, and the fact that they hadn't been moderated.

Fair comment, and I agree that is a sexist remark, but that is the only sexist remark I have come across on this thread, although I am sure it was tongue in cheek and nothing personal. Lets all be friends, and get on with supporting MFC. :D

I've never been interested in women sport of any description......nothing sexist, racist or any other ist, but this thread has caught my imagination. So I'm going to give the England v N.Ireland game tonight a whirl.

One thing I'll be looking at is cultural diversity, which doesn't seem to have caused much interest in this thread this far.

Just found this thread. Hypocrisy (and misogyny) lives!
