I agreed, but explained that the men's game generates more interest therefore bigger sponsorship. But the women's game is making inroads. She said that's sexist This when she seen one game from the women's world cup. Tell her it's because the standard is far lower, the goalkeepers are all crap and none of them have learned how to slide tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 After something like an outrageous overhead kick "Is it not just luck though?" My lass loves that one, the only goal she's ever given any credit is Messi's against Athletic Bilbao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I always remember when we were relegated in 2009, my really canny and well-meaning house mate was like "You'll be fine after a cup of tea" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logic checks out tbf. Suppose it does. She also got concerned once when I said I did a header in some game ages ago, and thought heading was only for the professionals. In my case it probably should be tbf. I'm really lucky though, she's never once griped when I've wanted to watch footy and she had a great time when we were up for the Leicester game. The only thing that's annoying sometimes is when she points out my hypocrisy re ranting at referees etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Saw the thread title and knew this would instantly descend into calling rugby fans wankers ? Thing is with that...they are two completely different games in terms of what you are and aren’t allowed to do. I don’t know why people bother. You gain advantage in rugby from smashing a man in half. You don’t in football as much and you aren’t supposed to be just twatting people - the premise is entirely different.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Not a specific thing said but the "it's only a game" attitude you get when someone is expecting you to do something when the match is on is proper rage inducing. I'll probably end up doing extended jail time through it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
