Fantastic wee documentary on BBC Scotland just now about the women's national team. Great to see then getting the exposure they deserve and to hear from the team and shelly Kerr herself on how proud she will be. Really hope they do as well as they can and do themselves proud and enjoy the experience

Fantastic. Really positive story, told in an engaging way. It was quite emotional even though I already knew the story pretty well.
It means so much to the players and the coach and that’s so refreshing to see.

When’s the first game? Gonna get right into it as the women will be more a fixture at world cups than the men’s team!

Documentary is on again tonight. BBC One at 10:30.
Surely “Shelley’s Heroes” is a better title...

Watched this yesterday afternoon and thought it was a great watch. They really are an inspiration and look a very good hardworking, committed group of players. Not something you could associate with our men’s team.
Hope the girls have a great campaign and I will definitely be tuning in.

A real eye opener
Thoroughly enjoyed this Documentary
I thought Women’s football was all about HIBS Ladies....No!
It was more about Glasgow City and if you want to progress succeed you have to move to the top Professional Leagues in England and abroad
A ladies game in Italy between Fiorentina and Juventus attracted a crowd of 39500

Just need to look at the investment in the Woman's game in Engerland to see the way its going, they have the use of St George's for get togethers and training, have a fulltime ex professional premier league player as manager?
Up here professional clubs are trying to boost woman's football, but I feel its never going to be enough to compete with the best down south!
My only hope is to do a New Zealand on them in the first game, and see if their nerve holds in the other games, as the media are doing their usual "England for the World Cup", I for one would like to see egg on their faces!!!!!

Watched the English equivalent of Scotland’s heroes directly after
It was like night and day money no object and training camps all over the world with molicuddled English women’s football super star heroes
Neville seemed insistent on a squad rotation policy throughout the World Cup I am not convinced and the players did not look too convinced either
I hope it does not work out for him 😁

I don't know your knowledge of the woman's game so do forgive me if I'm preaching to the choir.
Lucy bronze is outstanding and England are in with a real chance of winning the tournament. they'll of course need luck with refs and injuries on route but they genuinely should be expecting to be there to win it.
obviously whilst we're there I hope they get cuffed.

Off on a slight tangent, I watched a documentary on the footballing journey of Scottish World Cup winner Rose Reilly. To my shame, I’d never heard of her (she’s a wee bit older than me - played mainly in Italy through late 70s into 80s)
Incredible story, she’s one tough lady and no little talented. Definitely worth a look - will be on BBCiPlayer on the Alba page.

Certainly helps explain why it took so long for women's footie to take off here. The SFA actively attempted to stop it.

i also didnt say she was the best player in the world either, I mis read the original post. I took it as he's said she's one of the best. I agree she's one of the best as she's the best right back in the world. she's holding that position for Lyon who have dominated European football last few years.

the standard down here is high and despite what the ignorant say, matches are often really enjoyable.
I'm really looking forward to this world cup and I really hope Scotland can make a mark. regardless we should be proud of our girls and back them to the hilt.

I've just watched this, excellent stuff. I'm quite fired up for June 9th now.
An excellent observation from Stuart Cosgrove about dismissive male attitudes to women's football in comparison to women's swimming, you'd never get the same snide dismissiveness about a female swimmer, Hannah Wiley, negatively comparing their prowess with say, David Wilkie. Different physique, different talents, same sport. An interesting (although dated) parallel from a media guy I never really warmed to before.Last edited by hibsbollah; 04-06-2019 at 07:37 PM.
