I was having this same conversation during the second half with the guys I stand near. There was 11 players out there fighting for each other.
John Coneh! This made me laugh.
Good to see some of the injured players back. We looked stronger.

Loved watching him play. So gifted and talented, especially when you consider the state of the pitches back then. Quiet and unassuming. Never seeking the limelight. That is why I expect he is overlooked by so many.

I got picked to go to England Women’s training camp in 1981 but got badly injured the week before. Hey Ho. Such is life.

When you consider we were banned from playing football for 50 years. And the year prior to the ban in 1921, 50,000 fans watched a women match at Goodison Park. Can you imagine all the top men's clubs of today being told they can’t play next year. In 1971, the FA lifted the ban and the WFA was formed. It was many years before the women’s game was brought under the auspices of the FA. And with it a firmer footing. Then a few more until a decent league structure was introduced. Think back to the men’s game in 1971 and consider the technical ability back then and now. The men's game has improved exponentially since those days, but so has the women. It takes time, money and a few generations to bring the standard of any sport from virtually zero to a high level of technical ability. The exponential growth in the women game is truly remarkable. Especially when so many young girls still do not have the opportunity to play at school etc. Until recently girls growing up had no role models. Whilst the boys had all manner to choose from. So please do not compare the two games. The playing field has not been, and is not level, and won’t be level for some years to come, if at all. Enjoy both versions of the game and cheer on our national teams As a schoolgirl, I trained with what was probably Bath City's first attempt at forming a ladies' team. We trained at Twerton Park, and I can assure you that it certainly was not a level playing field - surprised that I didn't break an ankle. One of the ladies stopped to retrieve her hairpiece, which fell off as she bore down on goal - football Jim, but not as we know it! The women's game certainly has come on a long way since those days - I'd struggle to get a game in a veterans team these days. I don't expect it to be equal to the men's game, however, if I watch, I can enjoy it as a different entitly. Agree with Gas Go Marching In regarding the lack of play acting, and the behaviour of the femal players being better than the men.
