Very dull. Off to see Germany and Denmark on Friday. Hopefully better entertainment.

Why is women’s football now on prime time TV all the time? It’s worse than League Two quality.

Probably navigating into dangerous waters here but I have never actually watched a women‘s games before today. Given all the hype I thought the standard would be quite high but watching Northern Ireland v Norway it does seem quite poor
 

That injury to Magill for Northern Ireland, looks like maybe an ACL, Aston villa only just said she moved to them yesterday after she left Everton Women - Move has actually be done since before May

Why not?

Its not 1980, we have more than 3 channels. Don't like it watch another channel.

The quality thing is stupid. They are the best women's footballers in Europe. That's the point. How they compare to men is completely irrelevant.

People's attitudes baffle me. I hate cricket, like HATE it. I find it boring, but I wont moan about it being on telly because it's not for me. Same as anything I don't like.

Also I think there is something to be said about a sport being more interesting if you know what is going on. The players involved, the rivalries, having a vested interest in it. If you don't know anyone and don't care about the result then it's just another game of sport isn't it? It's why people follow lower division clubs etc, they have an interest in it. If that wasn't the case then everyone would support a small handful of clubs (well moreso than they do now...)

This would be all well an good and I don't completely disagree, but there are sports women play more predominately than men, that get next to no coverage. Netball has been on sky for a few years, hockey which is played to a high level by both sexes isn't on mainstream TV.

Those 'products' should have been screened more and a 'fanbase' grown. By all means push football, but push all female sport equally.
