To resent womens football

Attictroll · 16/07/2022 20:36

And yes I know I am...only woman in my household and we usually have a family film etc Saturday night with food in front of telly. Oh no tonight it's football...I hate watching sport and this is just as boring as mens football and I'm sat here hating it - they all just wanted to watch the football. I could leave the room and be on my own but I wfh on my own all week!

Womens football is great I am sure but for me it's just more bloody football watched by the same people who watch mens...maybe we can cancel some mens football to even it up.

YANBU.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 16/07/2022 22:29

I know it's not going to go down very well with some on here, but I actually LIKE football.

But not womens football.

I just can't get remotely excited about it, or remotely interested in it. Mens football, yes, I enjoy it. But not womens. Just can't be arsed with it. Can't muster a tiny grain of interest in it.

I got to have the Athletics on earlier as bargaining for the football. I fell asleep

It was way, way better than yet another slew of Big Bang Theory repeats.

Off topic, but as you mentioned it, I HATE 'the big bang theory.' So overrated and naff. Never liked it.

All football is interminably boring

YANBU Even the golf from St Andrews would be preferable to more bloody football.

At least it's not darts or snooker!

sweeneytoddsrazor · 16/07/2022 22:50

Well I love the football mens and womens, but I also love the darts. Snooker is ok as well but golf no.

I hate soaps and they are on all the time

Harridance · 16/07/2022 22:50

Darts, snooker, golf, football, all boring as fuck

FarmGirl78 · 16/07/2022 23:02

So its just Football you don't like, but you're blaming it on Women's Football? Lovely.

DDivaStar · 16/07/2022 23:08

The issue isnt the womens football its that your dh and ds's don't care you're not interested.

Meraas · 16/07/2022 23:16

Why are you picking on women’s football? What an annoying and nonsensical post.

Florenz · 16/07/2022 23:32

Why do people moan about not liking sport but not moan about any of the other rubbish that is on TV for hours on end?

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 17/07/2022 00:37

@Florenz because this particular person wanted to watch a family film and instead the other members of the household put on football that she doesn’t like.

milkyaqua · 17/07/2022 00:42

They are going to irreparably fuck their knees playing football, so I object to it, as I do all sports on TV.

I don’t even know where to start with this.

Well I do not like football or watching it but I am really pleased to see women's football being taken seriously and it is also a joy to have an amazingly talented home team who are fantastic role models. I do not have to be a football fan or even watch it to appreciate the dedication and professionalism of those taking part, particularly in contrast to their overpaid, sleazy and egotistical male counterparts.

willstarttomorrow · 17/07/2022 01:03

Also no bloody WAG sideshow.

User2145738790 · 17/07/2022 01:08

Well done op, you must be one of the 100 people that actually watch it.

Yodaisawally · 17/07/2022 01:19

Personally hate sport on tv, summer tv is always shite though.

spirit20 · 17/07/2022 01:21

YANUB, football is the most boring and pointless sport ever, regardless of which gender is playing it.

milkyaqua · 17/07/2022 01:45

Skinnermarink · 17/07/2022 00:51

I don’t even know where to start with this.

You could start by experiencing a knee injury yourself, or look into the likelihood of development of premature osteoarthritis following ACL etc repairs...

Get a grip…and a hobby

TreeOfPain · 17/07/2022 02:10

YABVFU.

All football is shit.

I'd rather watch women's than men's if forced though.

Men's football is the absolute fucking worst.

sobeyondthehills · 17/07/2022 02:15

If you have a look at womans football, its history is really interesting and I hate football

It took the FA 87 years to apologise for banning women playing on their pitches

Maybe because women's football is on now and men's football isn't 🙄
