Dons_1988 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I don’t have a particular issue with the bbc promoting womens football on the basis as national broadcaster they want to push something which has been neglected over time. I wish they’d apply similar care for Scottish football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 It's a promotional job as part of their public service remit. There's plenty other channels that cover stuff based on popularity. Although i do get annoyed by the bbc website reporting on US sports because they think we're part of US culture. Somecunt i never heard of retired from rounders was breaking news last month. Then some other c**t got a lot of points at rugby with pads. Fuuck off bbcRugby with pads? Don't say you mean (the in no way like rugby) American Football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Same shape ball, objective to touch down said ball in an end zone, kicky action through same shaped goals. Both really dull? The ball doesn't need to be touched down in AF, they just need to get to that area. Regardless, using that as a similarity is surely like saying football is similar to Ice Hockey/Hockey/Lacrosse? See also the kicking through shaped goals. Dull is subjective. I was of a similar view to AF until I got to know the rules tbh. And shared similar views that it was rugby with pads but it's in no way the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey definitely has a parallel with football in that the objective is to get it in a similar shaped goal. You don’t need to explain AF to me, my wifi is being a pain in the arse and stopping me working so I’m just being a dick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard enough getting enthusiastic about Partick Thistle. Definitely feels like it's being pushed too hard. To be fair your women's team are just as capable of losing dull matches to poor opposition as the men's team are Hibernian Women secured all three points in a 1-0 victory over Partick Thistle at Easter Road 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
