Glasgow city 1 Rangers 1
looks like rangers have stole it right at the end 1-2 FT
I really enjoyed watching that on the hibs tv youtube channel.
Support sounded well up for it.
Second half was great.
Lockwood totally changed that for Hibs. Terrible before she came on.
hibs back up to 5th, point ahead of partick thistle
make that 4 points ahead
Were we not much better a few years back? Team seems to get worse and worse under Gibson. Some of the stories about him are incredibly poor as well.Quote:

lets hope their 5th side doesn't challenge us as well next season

Yep, best I've seen from Nunn too. I wonder if she hasn't been fit most of the time and now we could see something from her. Be interesting to see next seasonQuote:

I didn't see that, what were they saying?Quote:

It will very interesting to see how many supporters attend given they have to pay this time.
£10 for adults and £5 for all concessions.
All supporters are being housed in the West Lower.
It's also on Sky so some folk might prefer to have a night in instead and watch it on the tv.Quote:

Only a couple of hundred sold I’m told. Not surprised at those prices. You can watch Chelsea women in the UWCL for £10 adult and £2 children. Scottish womens football really needs to rethink the strategy.
In fairness, it's very easy for the EPL sides to subsidise their womens teams salaries / ticket pricesQuote:

You won’t get 500 people at a tenner. Not a chance. Needs to be almost zero and make money from concession stands etc. I realise that’s difficult now as I don’t think we get the money for that anymore? Under 16s need to be free of charge.Quote:

Given the challenges of funding and lack of commitment from supporters of the woman’s game to pay a tenner to watch them, it seems likely the OF will continue to hoover up the talent and routinely take the European places.
The scores have always been like that tbh. Just that Hibs used to be one of the top dogs. I don’t think professional football for women in Scotland is sustainable at the moment. But in a recent interview i noticed Dean mentioned it was a sustainable model they had. I can only assume that’s all from sponsorship? SWPL wanted to enforce £12 a ticket for all games. The people that run the SWPL need to wake up to reality.Quote:

When I watch Hibs Women on YouTube it sounds like there are no more than 200 folk at our home games.
Of those folk at least half attendees will be family and friends of the players from both teams along with their kids so very few folk without direct connections appear to be attending.
My bro was chatting to a coach at St Johnstone, and a player as well (I think).Quote:

Surprising about the number of tickers sold. There were probs at least 1000 at ER last season for the paid game against Partick. Wonder if it being a Saturday night is an issue, given the more family-orientation the women's game has.
Ticket sales really poor for a live sky game. Not the best way to market the product and the clash with Hibs men’s game being away on same day?! Poor planning.
Is this not a capital cup clash? Doesn’t make sense.
Hibs should win this as Hearts have injuries.
Odd comment from Hibs coach saying playing at Easter Road is like a neutral venue - doesn’t make sense - plenty Hibs players played their loads.
1-0 Hibs Adams
No wonder Murray is questioning her booking, awful decision.,
They want to improve the product and image etc but at same time teams like Hibs and others probably suffer more as Rangers and Celtic spend more money than the rest - amounts Hibs and Hearts will never match. Double edged sword.Quote:

No doubt about the penalty. And converted.all square now.
Hearts head coach booted the ball in to the stand, should have been booked for it!
Good save from our keeper.
great save Haaland
hearts once again imo playing the better football
Take the draw but disappointing we didn’t get the win.
Not a fan of the manager
Poor game. Just like the mens game today
Yet to hear anyone say they areQuote:

I've not seen a lot of games this season but on the few occasions I have, like tonight, we've been poor.
It's not just the injuries or Gibson though. Only Parry and Lockwood of the new recruits look to be an upgrade on what we already had.
Big screens and scoreboards were off tonight and I think the same at the previous derby.Quote:

I've got a feeling it still won't break the domestic record, I think there is more engagement from the Huns than Celtic in general at games but then again the bigotry factor is unknown, so will they take it as an opportunity to drag the women's game down?Quote:

But the issue with Hibs is the concession stands / kiosks no longer belong to the club so they can't even make money from that.Quote:

93 mins played and the rangers defender has given away one of the most dumbest penalties ever v hearts 1-1 FT
only watched most of the 2nd half and i think that's the first time hearts have actually been near rangers penalty box

I see Glasgow city are beating us 1-0.
Not looking too great so far result wise, but an entertaining game.
2-0 now to Glasgow city (20mins in).
Both teams look dead on their feet.
Superb from Hunter.

They still have both to play again and having lost to both recently they need as big a lead as possible going into those games. Would love them to put off the inevitable for another season.
Rangers beating Celtic tonight leaves Glasgow City with a 5 point lead over both with 4 games to play.
However, those 4 games include away games for Glasgow City against both OF sides both of whom inflicted home defeats on City in April. City also have a poorer goal difference than both so I reckon they need to win one of those two big games or draw both to win the title.
My calculation is based on the premise that it is highly likely all 3 sides will win all their remaining games against the lesser teams so Celtic and Rangers have 9 easy points to pick up in their 4 remaining games and Glasgow City only 6.
That in itself reduces the Glasgow City advantage to only 2 points in real terms. It's gonna be tight.
Sounds like another decent performance today and unlucky to lose to a late Rangers goal

Rosie Livingstone signed on until 2025. Good to see.
Wouldn't hurt to see a bit more youth coming through. There's certainly been plenty room on the bench of late!
Hopefully he can add some value as Hibs ladies recently haven’t just stagnated but probably regressed. Other teams have progressed (Hearts to name one) and the head start we had on them has been wasted.Quote:

This will be the first time we've failed to beat Hearts in an entire season. Sick to death of Dean Gibson, by any standard he's been a total failure as coach.
Have Hearts ever finished above us in the Women's league. Such a pity we procrastinated and let all the advantage we had disappear, particularly so with the speed Women's sport is growing.
Nope.Quote:

Aberdeen are probably the club that need to improve their team most given their standing in the mens game.
Pound for pound I think Brian Graham is doing the best managerial job in the league at Partick Thistle and would be a good replacement for Gibson when the time comes.
Aberdeen will always struggle simply due to not being in the central belt. They have much less talent to choose from and even less chance of getting older talent in from other teams. Their team is very young right now a a few more key players are leaving this season. They are doing well to stay up.Quote:

Not specifically for Hibs but I have went from photographing Women's rugby with family and friends supporting to crowds of 1000s at the Dam Health. There is growth in top level women's sport and that will start dropping down to clubs at some point. Football isn't all about money and for me the community and representing everyone in it is what I want Hibs to achieve. That is best achieved with successful teams that everyone can enjoy and aspire to.Quote:

I don't view it as a financial transaction though but acknowledge money will always play a part. I'm going to try and get along to Meadowbank more often next year. I need to start practicing what I preach more often
Meadowbank is an awful stadium for watching football now. Watched 5 or 6 games there and the match day experience is awful. 3 or 4 rows of seats with a barrier in the way. Feel sorry for any club trying too build a fan base around that. Ideally they could go back to sharing with Spartans but not sure if that bridge is burnt.Quote:

The number of male supporters attending professional games remains pretty constant but there is massive scope for increasing the number of females who attend games and their attendance will in turn bring greater revenue into clubs. Clubs realise this and for that reason are now embracing the female game more than ever before.
HT Celtic 0 Glasgow City 1
decent attendance at parkhead, 9,500
their looked about maybe 100 odd at the Rangers v Partick Thistle game last night, wherever it was played
Most rangers games get a couple of hundred. It’s only the big games that get a few more. Hibs / Hearts / Spartans don’t not normally have much more than 100Quote:
Originally Posted by cabbageandribs1875

I wish the club would do a dual season ticket. Maybe £50 more to add the Women's games or even the full price but the ability to pay with the interest free option.
Damn, 1-1.Quote:

Ok Glasgow City have dominated the league for a long time but rest of the league was closer - but obviously now the quality is better - no team outside these 3 will win the league for a long time.
Hearts / Hibs will just play for 4th every season.
Rest will continue to make up the numbers.
A situation with 3 teams fighting for the title with weeks to go is refreshing. And certainly better than anything we get in the mens game.Quote:

Unlike the mens game I’ve no real issue with who wins the league and these teams for me don’t have the same back story and tribalism that the men’s team do. (despite some people trying to recreate that). All that matters is the product improves and we get more fans. What the top 3 are doing will only help that to happen.
