P. C HAS TAKEN OVER

[cochise]

ISP state cup has been more prominent this year…

100% agree, even this past weekend, 1st final over the weekend was on ch9 on Saturday and the 2nd Final had a night game live on fox last night. Seemed to be much more prominent to me.

If the game is good enough, great. If it’s only being down to placate the trend of women doing whatever men can do then that is the wrong reason. It shouldn’t matter if you are a man or woman, just how good you are. For example, there’s one girl who does the ISP games and does interviews. Horrible. Is she there because she’s good at what she does or because Channel 9 need to fill their quota?

Have you watched any Women's games…it good enough.....

I can't help noticing the double standards in the coverage. No shots of the change rooms before the games

would a male reporter complain if he got an eyeful?

Then maybe they should send in a female reporter. She'd get an eyeful guaranteed. :wink:

She could get raped. :laughing: (yes I get it rape aint funny but just trying to show the "virility" of some of our Womens footy players :laughing: )

I appreciate that it is usually only two tacklers so the game is a lot safer and continuous. Almost no dirty stuff. The game gives me a chance to involve my female-filled household to watch games. At least it is much more interesting than female netball that must be definitely be a quoto-filler.

Obviously only a casual observer of the female game as well …some of the defense is brutal...i doubt some blokes would even get up but these ladies do...

 

[Tim Sheens]

I suggest that a good few should get along to a game, from juniors through to open level. The majority of the girls are very feminine, just as society in general and many are the type you are eyeing off when out and about. They change into their training or match gear and they switch on.

The upper level is similarly reflective of society as the men's game, not very.

I concede that at times it is strong but how do they compare ratio of HIA wise, chicken wings, stretchered off to male games? Can they be brutal and still be described as ladies? In another thread someone mentioned Farah playing tennis, well how about letting Serena loose on the footy field - she would take their pretty heads off their shoulders.

Go close like our womens cricket team probably beat the baggy greens…

That's a specious argument. Let's not show any female athletics at the olympics because they'd never beat the blokes.

For me, it's all about the game. Women's AFL is deplorable. The league is good quality.

I see what your saying. Im all for womens soccer. Its great to watch.

One on a side note, if there was one sport where you could trial a mixed league soccer would be it.

Im not against womens rugby league but at this point in time its more about virtue signalling than it being a quality product deserving of its new found place in the sports calendar.

 

[steve-o]

Chicken and the egg… you won’t get a quality product until you have enough women playing the game, but you won’t have as many playing if there is not a level that plenty of women can aspire to (only so many can play for the Jillaroos, a top flight comp offers much more opportunity and appeal).

 

[Abraham]

How long before they start demanding to be paid the same as the men?

I'm sure talks are already under way.

Well, y'know, they only play 60 mins.

I watched the NSW U/15's soccer team destroy the Matildas about 7-1 in a warm up match for the 2016 Olympics…you could have a mixed league at some levels but not at the top level. The difference in speed, height and strength is massive even if they're capable of matching it skill-wise (which some no doubt can).

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

Nelson, you are right, and the example of that 15's side spells out the cold hard facts.
Don't get me wrong . . . there's plenty of things I love about women . . . but in soccer they just are a world apart.
If you put a gun girls 15/1's up against an average boys 13/2's .. . you might get a contest.
But on the whole . . . and this is across different Sydney associations, ages and skill divisions . . . girl's soccer is woefully behind the boys game.
Not saying they don't try. Not saying they don't have fun. I get that some girls might not have competitive motivations to play. Just saying the difference is absolutely massive.

 

[The_Patriot]

I think you guys are on the money with the top class male competition being too strong but are looking at it a bit wrong with the women.

If it was mixed I'm sure there are some positions where accuracy, patience, ability under pressure etc ate more important than speed and power.
