To love football but have no interest whatsover in women's football league

[Eastie77Returns]

I've been a football fan since childhood and have attended matches for years. Both DS and DD play and I'm really glad they've both taken to the sport. DD's best friend also plays and her mum sent me a message the other day suggesting we take the girls to watch a WSL game. I support a Premier League team so not always easy to get tickets whereas their women's team (one of the teams in the game the mum suggested we watch) always has availability.

I feel bad for admiting this but I have zero interest in Women's football. I have been to a few games but it's just not the same. I simply can't get as engaged as I do watching the men's game and I really don't care if the women playing for the team I support win or lose.

I admitted this to the mum and she was shocked! I got the feeling she feels I am literally letting the side (our side) down.😭

WRT Salah's wages, we've suddenly found ourselves having to compete with Saudi offers. In the case of Mo and LFC, we've had so many time-served players leave recently that someone like Mo going would further upset the group dynamic and a rebuild would be much harder.

Mo isn't worth that wage on the pitch anymore but his real value is in training and in the dressing room, where he now serves as an 'old father time' type figure. You've got to have a couple of these players (along with a local lad made good, one massive guy, one tiny guy and a good old fashioned Scottish shithouse) in every successful team.

You can of course decide what you enjoy.

I have supported a men's (mostly) championship side all my life and am very passionate when watching them.

I wasn't very interested in watching womens football, even though I played for years, until the Euros last year. We took our girls to the final at Wembley and it was just incredible, the atmosphere and passion was brilliant and I felt as excited as watching my own team at Wembley. Since then we've been to some wsl games and even though I'm not as passionate as I am about the Lionesses, my girls only want to attend womens games due to the atmosphere and family friendless of them and to see some of the players we watched play for England.

I think the trick is to try to not compare how you feel about your club and how you feel about womens football, its almost a different sport but with the same rules if that makes any sense.
