Sham67 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I enjoy watching the women. I’ve got to say they’ll need a big improvement on last nights performance to win it. I just hope they didn’t peak too early in the warm-up games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The goalkeeping certainly used to be markedly poorer than the rest of the play, but that seems to have been addressed. As it happens my daughter has been playing in goal for SWFC ladies. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And mocking San Marino isn't San Marino-ist. It's just really cr*p, and it's patronising to suggest otherwise. It's not funny cos they're women. it's funny cos it's so, so bad, and they happen to be women. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing older men trying to argue their way out of their 70s prejudice is always amusing. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though - if you're GENUINELY saying with a straight face that the standard is anything above just about watchable - and not just because it's what we're supposed to say to be polite - then your standards must have hit rock bottom watching Wednesday all these years. At least I'm being honest, as opposed to patronising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does the fact that they have a ******** cloud your judgement? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday league players don't get their matches broadcast live on TV. If they did, and everyone pretended to take them seriously and we all had to tip toe around them and pretend we think they're good, then yeah I'd definitely have a good giggle man. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
