Hibs and Hearts were about 20-25 points off last season but are both now full time - made a huge difference and can see the ones who are semi pro/ amateur: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-womens-premier-league/tableIt would be pocket change to Bet365 to go full time and they could rocket up the leagues if done correctly. Take the chance whilst we've got a decent manager in place I say. I enjoy watching the Ladies games, the top teams (Chelsea, Arsenal, ManC and occasionally ManU and Liverpool playing some really excellent and competitive football at times. Nothing would please me more than if St Peter and his family spent some of their vast wealth in investing in the Stoke Women’s side and do what Brighton and Bristol City, amongst others have done and compete at the highest level. |

From a young age boys and girls just play it differently I reckon and the older players instead of trying to copy the lads they’re starting to be comfortable in their own style/ capabilities – bit like golf. Me and another parent had to take over the running of the girls u12s at the start of the year or it would have folded. A couple of folk dropped out of the lads team so help out there too now. The lads genuinely makes me sad – 9-10 year old still just head down and run doing it for themselves. If a lad gets it on the edge of his box he’ll try to run the length of the pitch and the first instinct of the striker is just to sprint towards goal with no thought of linking up at all. I’ve seen them get hammered but parents happy if their kid has scored – absolutely wild. In the girls we nearly scored a goal last week from a corner where we played it all the way back to half way line, worked it across the pitch to the opposite wing, played it back across to the girl who originally took it standing in space but hit the bar with every outfield player touching it and nobody took more than 2 touches. We also scored a goal one week where keeper rolled it to left back – left back touch and ping to left wing – left wing touch in side played it straight into space – striker ran on one touch then bang bottom corner. Front to back in about 5 seconds – the lads are miles away from doing any of that. |
