[Football] WSL numbers out - are YOU excited?

[Green Cross Code Man]

I’ve genuinely not a big fan of the Barber regime for stuff like ignoring long-standing fans on flasks (a ruse to make us buy their stuff) and other cheese pairing nonsense to grind an extra penny out of all of us.

But the strong promotion of the women’s game is one of the excellent things they do. The good it does in attracting a new generation of fans is surely outweighed by the near zero inconvenience of clicking past an unwanted email

You conveniently ignore the annoyance it causes on smart devices which often display the title of the email and nothing else. Things like 'Brighton sign England international'. When that flicks up on my watch at work, I can't look at the email immediately and am invariably disappointed. Much like var has taken the moment from scoring a goal, I now feel deflated if I see such things. Couldn't hurt to just add the word 'women's' could it?

I wonder what the ladies verdict would be at the squad pictures of NSC detractors. A few less 'Y' me thinks.

But imagine the real disappointment should you open the email and find it’s the men’s team and we have signed one of the clowns from Gareth Southgate’s team.

That was literally the point of the message you quoted.

Frivolous? I am sure the lady OP is impressed by that comment. Some comments have revealed sexism but it is not sexist to not be interested in something.

I apologise, the first part of my post was erroneously aimed as I mixed up the two women's team threads.

Indeed, I quoted the wrong post. Haven't had my coffee yet.
