The biggest game this weekend is England’s women playing Germany in a Euro Final. If anything there has been a lack of true coverage of the whole tournament in terms of ‘top’ news.

Guest HTT II Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 They are not trying to force women’s football onto you or anyone else, they are trying to promote it, cover it and do you seriously believe they would do so if there wasn’t an audience for it? Howay man/women! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay man/women! Absolutely, as proven last season with the women's league about 20 people at the stadium and they are giving it more coverage than lower leagues men teams. Teams in the lower leagues already get less coverage than they deserve now they are even further down the pecking order. Separate channel is the way forward for me and I'd bet the viewing figures would say it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons about to start and they wont stop going on about a final that no ones bothered about. I feel like you have a terrible opinion about pretty much everything.

christ Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The coverage of the Women’s Euros made my 7 year old - who went to her first NUFC match last season and didn’t much enjoy it - decide she wanted to come to the game today where she had a really lovely day. And she’s absolutely buzzing for the final tomorrow. If your life is being ruined by women’s sport being given a reasonable level of publicity maybe your life is just fucking miserable and the Euros has nothing to do with it?

Fantail Breeze Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Women’s football is dreadful imo, but I’ll watch it tomorrow because it’s England in a major final. Same way as I don’t enjoy cricket, have no understanding of the rules but would still watch it if it was an important game. It is slightly annoying when a news pop up shoots up on your phone “ARSENAL BREAK TRANSFER RECORD DEAL…” only to realise it’s actually women’s football. I’ve muted all of the other sports because I only really have it for the football news. I wouldn’t go as far as saying they should be secluded to another channel but never understood why SSN doesn’t operate a bit like BBC News and have hourly/30 min segments featuring different sports. Also a good opportunity for features on different/specific teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already shite on the lower league teams with the massive Premier league bias now they are getting even less of a look in. Don't see why a separate channel would be a bad thing, having a full channel dedicated to women's football for those interested doesn't sound that bad of a suggestion.

Kimbo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 My only concern is that if England wins there could be a push to put the achievement on equal footing with winning a mens tournament. The result of this would be the USA being considered a footballing powerhouse. Unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because inclusivity is preferable to segregation? Plenty of lower league teams in the region, you could just buy a ticket to go and watch them. Alternately, you could take the approach that men’s football has dominated televised sports for literally decades and that trying something new isn’t a bad thing because, you know, progress.

I really can’t emphasise how grim I find your opinions sometimes. Whoever “they” are, nobody is forcing anything on to you - you can literally just not watch it by choosing to do literally anything else when it’s on. Before the match today I had conversations with every person I was with about the final, and every person I spoke to (10-15 people, I’d guess) all said they are watching the final and all were looking forward to it. It’s a positive thing for gender equality, it’s a positive thing for the country at a time when it’s not in a good state and it’s a positive thing for sport.

Disco Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Weird as I watched Soccer Saturday and latterly the highlights on itv4 of the EFL and it looked exactly the same as every other time I have done. Match day undecidedly not ruined. Not a mention of the lasses and programming as usual. Odd that. Not going to lie however, I’ve been very distressed to the point of tears that during the womens euros the leftwaffe and wokerati have blocked my channels meaning an honest white man like myself can’t use the “doofer” to watch real programmes like The Bill and Londonistan’s Burning. I’ve written to my beloved Ric Holden to see if he can force the police to open a much needed case over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Got to say the whole thing seems rather pointless in hindsight. When this started I expected a real push towards certain policies. Blank names on cv’s, more transparency from police, talking heads from the actual organisation doing the rounds and making the case policy x,y,z. instead we got nothing. In the end this whole thing might have been counter Productive and just stirred up division for nothing. Edited August 2, 2022 by Rafalove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
