bbc came out & apologised to rangers f.cBBC fkd up the live coverage but Stevie from 4lads had a good piece on his blog today covering the game with some audio clips from Malky and Tess
Hope Solo? Who was about 5’11 I think.This is what makes the womens game look amateurish. I’ve said this on here before, and the better half was an Internationalist, the goals should be smaller, Women Goalkeepers are not physically as adapt as men. I don’t mean massive smaller sizes, just tweak them so it makes it more of a competition. I’ve said that if you want to make money in the Womens game go all out to be the fittest Goalkeeper you can be. I’ve only seen one FM goalkeeper that could come up to the standard of a Male, and that was a USA girl who I think is retired now
Are we building new pitches and stadiums around the place for women teams? The real difference is the 100 years of specialised goalkeeping coaching. If anything, current goals are too small for a modern goalkeeper given they were created when men were on average a lot smallerThis is what makes the womens game look amateurish.

Behave.
Molly Reeve and without her it could easily have been 25-014-0!, who was in goals? Wee Jeanett
Crankie?
She’s only turned 17 in April. I know the opposition weren’t great but she looks some talent.Some of the defending, goalkeeping and general okay was abysmal..
But nevertheless some nice play. The number 23 has got a good passing game I think she'll do well
Its the mismatch in teams in the league. There wasn't too many high scores in the womens euros. The height the womens players is probably on a par with the men before say the sixties. Finding a tall athletic woman for goalie would make a difference.The goals shouldn't be smaller. Less goals make games less entertaining.
Could be argued that men's goals should be made bigger given the average heights which have increased over the last 100 years and it'd lessen the number of borefest 0-0 draws and single goal wins.
Yesterday's result wasn't down to the height of the goalie. It was two totally mismatched teams. That's not a criticism of Rangers of even Glasgow Ladies. There's just a massive gulf in teams just now as the professional side of it is starting out and Rangers, clearly, have a massive advantage over anyone outwith a couple of other teams in the division...and even then Glasgow City, don't have our resources.
Play 30 minute halves like they do in tennisThis is what makes the womens game look amateurish.

Explain,, Never heard of 30 min Half's remember watching a men's final for nearly 5 hours.Play 30 minute halves like they do in tennis
Fair comment but it did help the RWFC out with goals for and Sellick women beat Hibs women 6-0 yesterday. You can only play what's in front of you it's leading curve for all teams, win, lose or draw.Feel sorry for Glasgow Women. Amateur team, first game since promotion and put against the champions.
he more teams we can get professional the better. Hibs and Hearts ideal candidates to make the step from semi-pro. This kind of result helps nobody really.
Yeah that is one of our home grown players Kirsty MacLean she had a terrific game .She’s only turned 17 in April. I know the opposition weren’t great but she looks some talent.
I would be fully behind smaller goals. Smaller ball and smaller pitch too. The average size, speed, strength, etc is just below that of a man, at elite sports level that gap is only exaggerated.This is what makes the womens game look amateurish.

bsHope Solo? Who was about 5’11 I think.
I have said for a long time smaller goals should come in, and contrary to what some in the women’s game think it wouldn’t be detrimental. It would make it a better spectacle because there would be more impressive saves made more often.
Okay…
Dundee United bounce matchAre Glasgow Women a new team?.
Have they played football before??????
Okay…
I can definitely agree with your last paragraph mate.It is though.
Different sized goals for the woman's games means that no existing pitch lay out works and there's not the money in the game, yet, to provide a completely separate setup.
The old trope about woman's keepers is also long outdated. There have been huge improvements in standards as the game progresses. They're maybe smaller than the men but it's not like every shot going in is a result of someone being chipped.
The gulf in class due to the professional levels Rangers can reach compared to other teams in the league is the difference here.
The game needs time to develop and for more teams to become professional with more income in the game. Teams will find their levels just as happened in the mens game.
I'm with you on this. Much as l love to see a Rangers victory of any sort, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Glasgow Women. I hope they'll get over it and keep playing.Feel sorry for Glasgow Women. Amateur team, first game since promotion and put against the champions.
