Not surprised mate we do appear to have a few promising youngsters. I have no idea what kind of money you earn in the Women's game but assume the gap may be even greater between north and south of the border. The league down south seems to be significantly stronger.
Do you not think we need to stop considering our coach’s actions to be acceptable?
Indeed. Goes further. Scotland U17s played Israel and Georgia 2 weeks ago and won both games 4-0 with 7 of the 8 goals scored by Bearettes - who comprised 8 of the 21-person squad. Highlights of the Georgia game:
Yes, that's the enigma. We have a talented squad which is under performing, notably in the big matches against our two closest rivals despite dominating in the majority of those games. We get punished severely by basic defensive errors while we currently lack a really ruthless goal scorer. We fix those and turn chances we create into goals and the picture changes entirely.
She likely attends one of the performance schools like Boclair etc.
Wherever the fault lies with the lack of trophies, I don't think it fair to attribute it to Amy McDonald whose drive and initiative in raising the profile and increasing the priority given to the Women's team and girls academy has been immeasurable.
Given the team in 6th place has a budget 30 times less than that, I think serious questions should be asked whether we are getting value for money.
Don’t underestimate the amount of money Partick Thistle have spent buying their way into the top 6, it’s far more than 30k.
The team in 6th are a million miles away from the top 3.
Do you think spending £1 million is acceptable to finish a mere 3 places above a club who spend 30 odd grand? I don't.
Why? there is plenty of discussion on just this earlier in the thread.
Clearly you see yourself as some sort of moderator for this one thread. The fact you don't want to debate the budget tells me all I need to know.
Amy Muir and Jenna Clark are also former Rangers youths.
As i said if you want to debate the money spent on the team, then create a thread and i'll happily debate it with you there.
Why not?
If you have read my threads re FM goalkeepers, you’ll know I have always said they’re a weak spot in every team, not their fault it’s the human anatomy. I have called for years for slightly smaller goals. I don’t come from this a newby, the better half was an internationalist, back when the game was outlawed, scored a Becham against the Scum under 18s. So from the late 60s onwards watching FM football this weak point as stuck out like a sore thumb. Our present GK has had some howlers and she’s getting professional training. To me the whole Women’s game structure needs looking at Rangers to be more professional.
My information on Thistle's budget comes from someone who should know. I'll leave it there.
That line I’d agree with you on.
That’s your interpretation.
I think your right, mate. They look a level above anyone else.
Chelsea join Arsenal in the Women’s CL semi finals. 1-2 down going into last few seconds of added time and they get a penalty after a lengthy VAR review, then go on to win through on sudden death penalties.
Wolfsburg are the ones to watch for me, their experience will be a big factor at this stage
Football is a cruel mistress. Chelsea were second to everything last night and the usually reliable Eriksson had a bit of a mare. However, there's no such thing as a moral winner and Berger's second penalty save was a cracker. A bit of a boot in the baws to the, "women's goalies are shite and need wee goals" brigade.
