I know I have form for going on about Womens Football, to the intense irritation of some.
However just compare and contrast the male and female games in the Olympics. Womens games played in good spirit, virtually no diving about as if shot or plugged in to the national grid, no attempts to get opponents sent off, no histrionic complaints to Officials whilst the men are the opposite.
It does seem though that there may have been a (very welcome in my personal view) shift in the public perception of the Women's game (apologies to those of you who think they should be at home washing, ironing, cleaning and having/looking after children)
Just to remind you all, Altrincham have a Ladies Team, maybe they're not of the standard that we've seen in the Olympics but they try to play good football (sometimes on some indifferent pitches), they're committed, put in the effort and love playing (if only the same could be said of everyone who plays)...please support the ladies if you can
