Futtocks Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Terrible way to exit from the Women's World Cup, when England had played so well. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bedford Roughyed Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Gutted. Not quite RL World Cup semi final levels of guttedness but still pretty bad. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!
gingerjon Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Brutal way to lose but also shows that by 90 minutes the players were tired - that's a desperate way to defend and 99 times out of 100 you'll be fine but it was the wrong way to try and block the attack. The close up photos of her show just how gutted she will always feel. I doubt she cares overly that most of the sporting world, a few twitter trolls aside, immediately were 'there for her'. First round of Europa League matches last night. The 2015/16 season has begun. I seem to remember at the end of last season on Baker & Kelly they'd worked out that between now and something like 2019, provided you include rep U19 and women's matches, there wasn't a single day without soccer. Euro 2016 next year. That'll be fifty years of hurt for Baddiel and Skinner to lament. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Futtocks Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 WWC: England v Germany just kicking off on BBC3. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bedford Roughyed Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Well done England. Great penalty (in the face of some very dodgy unsporting behaviour) by Fara Williams. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!
Futtocks Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Well done England. Great penalty (in the face of some very dodgy unsporting behaviour) by Fara Williams. To be fair, both sides were pretty physical, and neither side whinged too much when they got knocked about. England will be buoyed up for the European Championship, and Germany will be desperate to set things right - looks set for a tasty reunion next time they play. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson
gingerjon Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I love that all the comments under the articles about women's football are full of the 'no histrionics, no nastiness, no diving' mantra. Were you not watching - or were you so enrapt by the sight of Louise Necib that you forgot to concentrate? Great that the two teams took the play off game seriously. Some properly tasty challenges and both teams had chances away from the penalty. Cool as you like to bury it though - and a great feeling to finally emerge from a game like this (in all sports and both genders) with the honours. Third place isn't the title but it's so far ahead of where England were in the Hope Powell wildnerness years. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett)

tonyXIII Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I've got some mates who are Newcastle fans. I feel a bit sorry for them. Then again, I've got a mate who is a Makem. He is keeping very quiet! When your team is worse than your nearest neighbours, Newcastle, your team is really bad! Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.
