    Totally agree! They should also keep men’s and women’s football on the main BBC Football pages separate, and not mix up the women’s and men’s football results and fixtures page.

    It’s ridiculous to have to scroll past the Women’s results and fixtures to get to the Champ, L1 and L2.

    Sky Sports News annoys me with this as well. Their ticker and sidebars don't always make it obvious when they are talking about men's or women's football and some women having names that can be both male or female it can be confusing.

    It seems to just be part of this agenda to make out that women's football is the same as men's football and IMHO it does more harm than good for Women's football. It's always going to be seen as inferior if they just keep aping the men's game rather than finding where they can differentiate it.

    For example, what annoys me when watching women's football is the keepers. Women just aren't as powerful so they automatically get less spring than a male (well apart from maybe Onana) and things like their body shape and muscles plus the fact they statistically have a lower average reaction time mean its much easier to beat them, you see this on penalty shootouts where fairly poor penalties go in even when the keeper guesses the right way.

    If they did things like making the goals a little smaller would help them a lot. And making the pitches a little smaller in general would help overcome the physical issues in general. Techically there is nothing stopping a women being as good as the men, its largely just the physical side so if the women game focused on a technical game more it could stand out

    I detest women’s football and women pundits and commentators on men’s football …The end.!

    Sorry ladies but the two don’t go together imho.

    When the WHU ladies started playing ST holders got their games for free. They play home games at Dagenham and Redbridge, we went to one game for the novelty. Some lads had a banner "C'mon you Ironers", it was removed by stewards.

    Have you listened to A Kiwomya spouting drivel most games. I doubt a female pundit could not do better. What do you think?

    Kiwomya is a terrible commentator, he just spouts loads of words and it's upto the listener to resemble them into some sort of order and even then it's potluck whether they actually make a legible sentence or not.

    Because he’s passionate about the club seems to give him some sort of pass.

    His complete inability to convey what’s going on in front of him is the most importantly thing and the fact he’s abysmal at it should be reason enough to keep him away from a microphone.

    My cousin plays for Liverpool and have watched them on TV a few times but it is really hard to fully enjoy when the standard is so low. I hope it improves overtime and I am a believer that they should have their own channel for such information
