    Nothing wrong with not being interested in women’s football but I don’t see why that person then needs to shit on the sport.

    Even more baffled with why a woman shouldn’t be a referee or a linesman or be allowed to talk about men’s football.
    I'm out though now. As Bob says. I don't even know what the argument is anymore. I've got some really sh*tty jobs to do today and I can't wait to get started! Give my regards to young William!

      During the commonwealth Games, women’s events received equal tv coverage to men and I don’t recall anybody feeling motivated to point out over and over again that the men were faster and stronger etc.

      The competition between elite competitors within each sex is just enjoyed and appreciated on its own merits. And on track for instance, I’d say the most memorable and entertaining races were actually in the female competition, even though the men were much quicker.

      Could this attitude eventually prevail amongst football 🦕 too?

        I think it’s getting there, it’s no surprise who are the ones with the negative opinions in this thread, wouldn’t have given long odds on it being them before the thread started.

        There’s nothing wrong with not caring about women’s football but there’s no need to bring it down because it’s different to the men’s game.

        There’s nothing wrong with not liking a certain pundit but it is if your only reason is “she’s a woman”.

        I can’t understand why anyone would be against women linesmen and refs though other than sexism.

          It truly is the absolute pits of this board fair play.

            This thread is struggling to reach 10 pages, and seeing that equality has been mentioned a number of times I will ask a simple question. How would you define what a man is, and what a woman is?

              This is the sort of thread that would have inspired many a monty python sketch - the one that springs to mind is the judeas people front or the peoples front of judea and the charter they drew up where they ended up arguing over whether men could have babies or not in their pursuit of equality for both sexes. In the end I think they landed on men having the right to have babies

              My advice would be watch that part of the film or even all of it (Life of Brian) and maybe when you come back this thread will be gone and onto another page

              It seems we could do with a city loss tomorrow to restore normal proceedings as we don't seem to have as many City related football threads when we win as when we lose - maybe my perception though 😂😂

                    It's actually an interesting topic. I was intrigued by the statement: "You know what my biggest fight in life is? Equality." So I did a little digging, and it seems there is a lot more to it than football commentators and referees. Hopefully we will get some definitions, so that we can know exactly what we are discussing here.

                            Football is about skill and team work though. The women's game is lacking skill and tactics.

                              you might not personally find them particularly interesting, but that's different.
                              plenty of male pundits talk a load of shite most of the time anyway.
                              Ofcourse an opinion can be so far off it's considered those espousing the opinion is "out of their depth"

                                Why should that stop women being lineswomen, refs and pundits?
