If a female Wales team won the Euro’s, we’d be bigging it up. I watched the game, and thought it was very competitive, and whilst the skill level wasn’t too high, still enjoyed it.
Let them have their deserved moment of glory i say.

Win with ya women
You on only win with ya women

You only with with ya women.
TLG rumbled me yesterday. I watched the final and sure, the commentary was hard to take but I really enjoy women's football. All my jokes about Mrs Citizen are....well...jokes. Wind ups. She was p*ssing herself laughing at this thread yesterday, especially as she writes about the women's game and we've been going to Wales, Cardiff Women, Cardiff Met, Bristol Women, Arsenal Ladies and others for years now. One of my mates who's a season ticket holder has a granddaughter who plays for Newport. She loves Cardiff and never misses a game but there's no side for her to play in at our club (something the kid raised at a Q&A recently).
I'd love for some of you to speak to Mrs Citizen and say some of this stuff to her. I guarantee you'd be crushed and she's only 5"1'.
Anyway, gotta go, it's laundry day today and I want to make sure she remembers to use the fabric conditioner properly otherwise there'll be hell to pay.
I really enjoyed it tbh, particularly watching it with my two daughters.
Was a decent game too. The atmosphere is a bit 'naff' compared to what most of us on here probably generally like, but it seemed a lovely family event, and seeing the pure joy on the players faces, many of whom will have faced financial hardship in pursuit of their dream, was quite something.
I also enjoyed the one player quite clearly shouting "f*** o** you f***ing pr**k" to one of the Germans
You should take them to the Wales Women's matches. They're good fun and they play at CCS or Rodney Parade. We watched England there during the qualies. They've been playing at Llanelli which is good for the game too. It used to be dead easy to get tickets for the big games (England, The Netherlands etc) years ago but these days you've got to be quick because they sell out fast.Originally Posted by JamesWales
Big game coming up in September to get to the World Cup, tickets are very reasonably priced. As annoying as it is when England do well at anything, their victory ought to help shift some more tickets for Wales
Agreed. Lots of bucket hats at the games now too!
bucket hatsyesterday at the netball, everyone had them on
I actually looked up tickets for the last game last night - it's at CCS at home to Slovenia, adults from £8.
It's likely to be a must-win game too, in order to get into the play offs
Yeah, I had a few texts about it this morning. Sometimes kids go free, not sure about the Slovenia match. I prefer watching at CSS. At Newport, in the main stand, it's like a cow shed and very claustrophobic! Definitely go for it for the Slovenia match. It's been a bit like Wales mens team back in the day where it's been so close but ended in heartbreak. Fingers crossed (again) for September. It's worth it to see Jess Fishlock play. She's 35 now and won't be going on much longer but has been a great player for Wales.
Yeah, I knew her sister a few years ago.
Looking at the fixtures, it's a really interesting end to qualification.

Tickets were £8 and £4 for kids I think. Apparently FAW are aiming for 10,000, but if they can get the marketing right, you would like to think they could get more.
This thread definitely gets a Visit ANGRYWHITEMANISTAN award!
We are NEVER going to hear the end of this. The BBC particularly will fawn over it for months, if not years. To them it is everything because they basically don’t have any other sport to cover, apart from the Commonwealth games, which they are desperately trying to make out is a top level competition for the same reasons. It said it all for me when i found out that in one weight category in the women’s boxing, you could get a medal by winning just one fight, as only 8 boxers entered.
I suspect we’ll hear next to nothing about it once the Premier League begins next weekend.
i watched that Women's Champions League Final held at Cardiff City Stadium and left before extra time because I was so bored. I made the mistake of thinking that the game was awful because it was being played by women, but, having watched quite a bit of women's football since then, it was awful because it was a shit game of football just like many men's game can be. I enjoyed yesterday's match because it was a good game of football on its own terms.
Last year, a small proportion of England fans disgraced themselves and their country at the men's Euro Final to the extent that games have had to be played behind closed doors as a punishment. Part of the enjoyment I'm getting about England's women winning a major tournament is imaging what sort of reaction the Neanderthals who have gave England men's team supporters the reputation they "enjoyed" through the last few decades are coming out with in reaction to England finally winning the sort of tournament they've so wanted them to be victorious in (especially against the Germans) and then it turns out to be a bunch of girls that did it
That said, it's both strange and revealing to hear English fans talking about the completely different atmospheres at international level between men's and women's games, because the fans of so many men's teams now behave like yesterday's crowd did as a matter of course = Wales men's internationals are joyous occasions now and have been for years, England really do need to catch up.
Well, it was the most-watched programme of 2022 so far. A peak audience of 17.4 million. Pretty impressive.
Nice to see misogyny is alive and well on CCMB. Some of the comments in here are embarrassing
At least that disgusting comment about preying on vulnerable young girls has been removed. Took the moderators long enough, though.
Stop talking like a pretentious student
100% mate
The media does it again!
1 - “England’s pain is over, we’ve won our first major trophy since 1966”. No, the men’s team haven’t won a major trophy since 1966! The women's team won on their own merit and their win has f**k all to do with the men’s lack of success or the media’s obsession with it. I’m sure somewhere deep down the media are sick of talking about 1966 and saw the women’s victory as a relief to put it all to bed.
2 - On the radio this morning the question was asked, ”How long before we see a female player or manager in the premier league?” Why the f**k should they? As if a woman hasn’t really made it unless they’re playing with ‘the men’.
There is plenty of ground to make up, in terms of funding and investment (yes, Wales FA I’m looking to you) to ensure that Euro 2022 leaves a lasting legacy, and it’s vital that women’s teams are more widely seen as clubs and players in their own right.
The men in England been saying they’re gonna bring it home for yrs. looks like the women got fed up and said ffs, we’ll bring it home!!
Piss off the pair of you , I made no reference to preying on young girls
It was a complete piss take , there's nothing worse than pretentious blokes who think they are right on with the wimmin
Sky sports announcing that “it’s come home” so let’s hope they leave that in the past (they won’t) haha
Your quote (and I’m paraphrasing as it’s been removed) basically said you hoped it would encourage more vulnerable women down the City.
There’s no justifying that so take it on the chin.
