Should have the goals 5 inches lower being as women are on average 5 inches shorter than blokes ?

Joking aside this will always be an issue due to the height of women. Its a reasonable ask imo as 6ft+ women are rare, so to find thousands who love football, want to be a GK and have actual ability is stupidy impossible.

I don't see it as an issue. We all want to see more goals, so why would we change the size of the goals so we can have less?

Because no matter how good a female GK is, their height will inevitably see criticism directed at them and it will affect their ability to prevent goals. Pickford is considered to be on the 'small' side and he's 6ft. Even the very small mens GK's are around 5ft 11. The average women is what? Around 5ft 4. Makes no difference in other positions but will always affect the GK's

But from a spectator standpoint, yes its better for the game.
