I don't understand these fixtures. Shipping 50+ every time we step on the pitch against a top 8 side isn't benefiting anyone. I know they say it's the ticket sales but who wants to watch that? We should be playing USA, Uruguay, Georgia etc.

Shipping 7 goals against very poor teams is not a good look and suggests some deeper issue.
Still only 3 points off the top of league one somehow

Great episode and enjoyed the story of the Bristol barge but I think Tunbridge Wells can beat that with our infamous cinema site tunbridgewells.gov.uk/planning/new...

It's a massive win for them. Having the guy who invented Penicillin, discovered the tomb of Tutankamun and raised the Titanic will be hugely beneficial.

Good coaching comes from empathy, communication, organisation and care from the players. If we would increase the number of women in youth football it would be hugely beneficial and not just to girls but everyone involved

My response is that has never held men back from coaching. In fact a lot of the toxicity around grassroots comes from men who think they know everything because they watch football on TV.

I've coached boys for 8+ years and when I speak to women about coaching young teams they always say the same thing, that they don't know enough about football.

If the legacy of the last Euros was an increase in girls playing I would love the legacy of this one to be more women to get involved in grassroots coaching.
