I grew up with a couple of girls who were better than most of  the lads in the town at football, one ended up playing football with a premiership team for years and was capped with Ireland many times. They are treated badly considering they give as much commitment as men 

Bernard Manning was brilliant in fairness.

No one doubts their commitment. It's their ability that is painfully lacking in comparison to their male counterparts, although that's not the case in all sports.

It's just dreadful to watch. Women's rugby is slightly better, but for the spectator, there is no comparison whatsoever.


My auld lad would piss himself laughing at Bernard Manning, especially when he'd pick on auld wans in the audience -

'Y'awrait love? Was it cold in the ground this morning?

😂😂😂

E'wur a cheeky bastid alright....  :laugh:

Not at all the videos hilarious im a big fan of Smith and Jones, I mentioned commitment in terms of being badly treated. The two girls I mentioned have great ability and excelled in their profession which is great but you might notice I don't disagree with Caomhaion in terms of spectator value and a lot of games are painful to watch

Strangely, I watched the female Irish football team playing a few months ago and really enjoyed the game. I haven't even bothered tuning in to a men's game in years as it was becoming so fucking tedious to watch. The women were on serious form,  in that match at least. The game was incredibly fast paced and engrossing. Presumably if the women were given the funding and support the quality would only increase. No doubt it would never reach the same level as male football (although with society's current trans fixation,  who knows) but it could become something valuable in its own right.

Edit. I should add that as someone who really couldn't give a flying fuck about football either way it might be better not to have more stupid games to have to click past on the telly  8)

Over the last few pages, some of the posts read like certain members could genuinely do with working out some past female relation issues. Rancor, meanness of spirit, hardly becoming of any kind of "masculine" ideal.

One post mod's 'rancor' (lol) is another man's calling a shpade a shpade.

Plus, bitches be trippin'

I think posters who come to the defence of women almost exclusively could iron out a few past issues themselves.  Any criticism of women is like a bat signal to these idiots except instead of a bat signal its a white horse signal.
