Depends on the level you watch really, i've seen some rubbish ladies matches and some fantastic games at various levels. In saying that i've seen some rubbish matches in the qualifiers lately too!

HAHAHAHA....You've got some neck to knock the girls...The Mayo ladies could teach their male counter parts a thing or two about winning All Ireland Finals.... The one bit of success you've had and your knocking it.....Typical Mayo man.

i know the new rules in for the league are quite contentious with alot of people though as evidenced by the weekends action, they greatly improve the fluidity of the game something which I enjoy about ladies football. What are your arguments for your opinion?

I would also ask how much credit do male players give female footballers for their efforts on the pitch? At home in my old club, it was barely acknowledged by members of the mens club, and county title successes were ignored too

actually the majority pick it up the same way as men , its quicker & easier that way u fool.
some of the womens games are great, & like someone here said, better football & more entertaining than a lot of the nfl games. theres more than just cora staunton that are good footballers also!
like the mens, you'll have good & bad

what! my god, i know the ladies game isn't as physical as our male counterparts, but to say the game is rubbish is the most stupid thing i ever read!!! how you can tar a whole sport cause of a few games ya seen i dont know. if thats what your basis is on, i'm surprised your not calling the mayo seniors *****! at least your women can kick a ball, let alone win something. you've some neck!!

paddyogall (Mayo) - Posts: 5110 - 04/02/2009 12:46:49    197857

womens football is like basketball, its ridiculously non contact. id say Bring back the BIFF!!

Alot better than watching the Ulster teams, no endless fouling and dragging and they actually kick the ball from time to time

Yawn...getting boring now paddyogall. Nobodys rising to the bait. Why do you hate women so much, had you your heatbroken many moons ago by a young Cailín, maybe your masculinity suffered in the past and you feel the need to put women down inorder to make up for something your lacking in...or maybe you just bat for the other team and despise women plain and simple. Ah well whatever the reason it's not big (bet you've heard that one before) and it's not clever, so catch yourself on.

I went to a ladies game once where the half forward wanted to go home and change as one of her team mates had on the exact same outfit.

This will prob get me shot but here goes...
Lino/Shinners/Niamh, apologies in advance...
I do not think womens football is rubbish, i think its a cleaner more free flowing game than the mens. It has huge merits, has produced some super players like Cora Staunton and Angie McNally, The Cork Team etc. All Superb athletes, great footballer and well worthy of as much respect as they can get...
BUT..
The standard of goalkeeping is actually pathetic and embarassing....at even the highest level!
Would ye agree ladies?
That is all

That must be the most sexist comment iver ever heard in my life...You are a disgrace to the GAA in my opinion. Women footballers deserve the same respect that the men get they put in just as much effort and for what people to slag off their standard of football. Ann Dooher is one of the best women fotballers in Ulster and Tyrone and id say she'd give some men footballers a run for their money

as i said befor DISGRACE
