Rebel without a clause?

"On behalf of all shirts, I'd like to express our profound dissatisfaction with the sartorial eyesore that has been foisted upon Albion players and supporters." "We're disappointed that the club failed to reach out to us and invite our opinions on the alternative options available." "We...

With the Euros going on until 31st July, it'll get the bulk of UK media coverage until then (or earlier if England lose the SF). Last summer's Tokyo Olympics took a few days to get going, then it caught fire as golds from different events (BMX, Triathlon, etc.) arrived. Any decent sport on...

Interesting stuff, Swanny. I'm sure there's a whole host of factors (visible, invisible, historical, sociological, cultural, experiential based on attending men's games, etc.) that have and continue to discourage women and girls from attending football matches, regardless of country. Perhaps...

Yes, that's fair comment. There's really 2 aspects here - encouraging girls participation and a desire to increase attendances. Anything that encourages girls to play the beautiful game should be supported. And part of that is being inspired by watching players. The 'if you can't see it, you...

To be fair, 10 million people watched GB win the 2016 Olympic Women's Hockey Final on TV. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jul/18/team-gb-womens-hockey-team-bounce-back-lows-after-rio-gold-tokyo-olympics The key words here are 'on TV'. There's little doubt that people are willing to...

Very pleased that England made it through against a technically strong Spanish outfit. The less said about the 1st half, the better. But they grew into the game and showed a lot of heart to turn it around. Credit to Wiegman for making the subs early enough and taking off a record goalscorer...

Spanish players on the ground. They'll get a gracias.

Fair play to Russo who was able to win the header between the 3 defenders. But then nobody expects the Spanish in position.

It's ok, Bry. We just need to find Juan.

Shame. England could've done with an extra white shirt in the box.

Yes. They're clearly commentating with a predominantly English audience in mind, but the sycophancy and hyperbole doesn't help. England have been comfortably 2nd best so far with just 42% possession and 1 shot off target. Little creativity. Still, I'm pretty sure that they'll play a lot...

The spirit of BG lives on.

No doubt those words would've received cross party support given a straight choice between that and 'I'll be back'. Regardless, he's been effectively terminated.

With Spain's Putellas and Hermoso out of the tournament, I think England will be too strong tonight. They'll then win their Semi-Final against Sweden before beating Germany in the Final. Nothing wrong with a positive outlook, eh?

Some atroutcious fish puns on here. We're piranha roll now.

Hake Robinson?

Gillty as charged.

Even with increased visibility through media coverage and a post-Euros bounce, a target figure of 6,000 average attendances at WSL matches week-in, week-out up and down the country by 2024 is hard to see realised based on current figures and attendances elsewhere in the world. As an example...

Sadly I wasn't allowed to enter the Eskimo lottery. Apparently you've got to be Inuit to win it.
