It is a different game mind. I have yet to watch a game where there is feigning of injuries or diving around. Indeed that French coach was having a pop at the England keeper for trying to waste time when she actually looked like she'd done her ligaments

As I say I think the ref last night would have been more at home in the mens game with the number of soft free kicks awarded.

There is something refreshing about it and almost takes you back a few years before the blokes all became a bunch of er...well... pussies

 

England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley will miss the rest of Women's Euro 2017 after breaking her leg.

 

and she kept on playing for a bit after she got that injury #hardcore

 

For the older ones on here she'll need to be called "Bert" from now on.

 

Wasn't that his neck?

 

She's not an old trout man!

 

I've not watched, so can't comment.

 

Neck, leg who really cares about the difference unless you're a doctor.

 

It helps to know the difference when getting dressed I find.

 

Massive respect to the lass. She was desperate to play on. I hope that French coach does the decent thing and rings her up to wish her well. It was obvious something was seriously wrong.

I have got to laugh at these mens tournaments and the PL. All this jumping around, diving, staying down with an injury only to jump up an run round full pelt 2mins later. There was literally none of that and very little arguing with the ref in this tournament from England. It has been like watching the likes of Adams, Pearce, Batty etc all over again. I miss proper football when the game is played by males.

As I said these lasses are a breath of fresh air

 

Is that like knowing your arse from your elbow??

 

On a side note, anyone else annoyed by the fact that the BBC now refer to 'England' in headlines for both men's and women's teams without specifying which they're referring to? I've got a feeling that the PC insistence that the women's game is just as important as the men's (ignoring the standard of play, spectator numbers, public interest etc) is only going to get worse as time goes on.

 

England slit arses 1...France slit arses 0

 

That's where I'm struggling.
I've got 3 young girls and I want them to grow up believing they can do anything and for the most part they can do anything as good as a man can but it falls down with sports because we are bigger and stronger (even if the men's game is full of fairies diving) and as such I'd rather see the "stronger", faster men's game than the women's game.
I used to enjoy women's tennis pre Williams sisters as it offered something different to the men's game but then the women's game just turned into a power contest too!

 

The young Englishwoman who signed for Barcelona was billed as 'the first English player to sign for Barcelona since Gary Linker'. When I saw he headlines I thought Harry Kane had signed for them. Its important the media respect the difference and refer to it as the woman's game.

 

I have a feeling that the BBC are bigging it up because they can still afford to show it on TV.
No problem at all with watching womens sports. Of course there is a difference to mens sports due tp physiological differences - dont think that will ever change. The fun of sport is the competition and that is just as intense in Women's sport.

 

Must say I can't see that a lot of harm is being suffered as a result of referring to both as simply "Football". If you want to start putting adjectives in front of the noun, presumably they would be "Men's" and "Women's".

 

You think that's bad - my own main sport, Fencing, had an even bigger trauma a few years ago when we had to stop saying Ladies Fencing and change to Women's







cue endless fencing related "jokes" which I haven't a million, billion times before....................

 

The BBC refer to the current women's competition as the Women's Euro 2017. That's fine by me.
