Jambomo Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The amount of people who are suddenly massive fans of the Lionesses and women’s football, as soon as they look like winning something. You know none of them have been near a woman’s football match in their lives. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be some amount of folk that have never been to any football match that gloat about a team winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nickname of the Lionesses seems really patronising, it’s not that routine to call the England men’s team the Three Lions is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 52 minutes ago, Boghead ranter said: Exactly. What actually sparked my original post was a guy in one of my Zoom meetings today, who said “You’ll have to forgive me I have the football on in the corner” but with an smug grin and an air of ‘check me out, watching the women’s World Cup’ about him. I don’t know why he thinks it’s ok in a fairly important meeting to admit to watching the football (You at least pretend you are fully concentrating on the meeting) but it was just mad as I’ve heard him say before he wasn’t into football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be churlish not to congratulate the team whose players play in one of the richest and most well resourced women's leagues in the world and with one of the best women's coaches in the world for getting to the World Cup Final but I am so I won't 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but consider the advantages of the Ladies winning it…more pressure on the Men, who have repeatedly shown that pressure > them. Sometimes from something bad, something good may come, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 On Barra and nearly every child has a Celtic top on. I commented on it to an islander and their reply was "its because the next island up are all Rangers fans. The next Isle is Uist (I think).
