dogmc Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Well that's nice. C4 coverage reached new levels of hubris n got what it richly deserved. Wonder if final will stay on c4 or if it will get bumped to more4 like our games were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Remember at the start of the tournament the BBC had predicted an England v Germany final? Get it right fucking up them. C4 did the same thing [emoji38] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 C4 did the same thing [emoji38] Apologies, I meant channel 4. It's usually the BBC pushing women's football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 This will sound patronising but I think a size 4 ball and smaller pitch would benefit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundskeeperWillie Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You know it's been a bad night when the C4 coverage makes such a big deal out of a penalty shout that was clearly a dive from Jodie Taylor (a picture tells a thousand words my arse Sampson you arrogant f**k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's so satisfying to see England lose. Even at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The amount of people raging that women's football gets some attention every couple of years, at a time when there's almost no other meaningful football on, is baffling. There's also a tremendous irony in SPFL fans saying it shouldn't be covered because the standard isn't very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Having listened to the preview of the England game on radio 5 this morning there is a real delight in the result tonight. It was full of predictions of the result being 2 or 3 nil in England`s favour and even some shite in one interview that negativity wasn`t allowed as England were definitely going to win. The one pundit who tried to say the Netherlands were decent was pretty much sidelined in any discussion. Great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally no one begrudged women's football getting attention and no one at all was raging at anything other than the desperately biased hubristic coverage....still invent some pish if it makes you feel happy.

pandarilla Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 You'll always have folk with dinosaur views about stuff like this. But I'd say (or at least I'd hope) that p&b is quite progressive in its view of women's football. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I don't think anyone could begrudge them the recent, increased exposure. I love the fact that my four year old girl sees it as a normal thing on TV.

Why don't you challenge the individual posters? Most people seem to be objecting to the blatant bias. I've actually been at the tournament and last night I watched back the England - Scotland game. The coverage was utterly cringeworthy. Token Scot Kim Little is expected to join in with all the adulation as we watch the England team stroll to the trophy. Graphics showing the path to the inevitable England-Germany final. Sampson saying they don't need to be at their best to beat France, etc, etc. Boak.

It was the English at their nauseating best.The confidence and the presence that feeling gave the girls...OMG, yes, he said girls...was impressive. They knew they were going to win the tournament. It was great to be amongst an England team with such a winning mentality. They'd already beaten Netherlands this year so the semi final was a formality. With Germany out the Final wouldn't be much more difficult no matter who it was against. It really was horrific stuff. Never have I been so glad an England team got well and truly stuffed.
