WharfedaleRam reacted to Stive Pesley in Women's World Cup
It's happening - playing football as a girl just wasn't even a "thing" for my generation. Even 20 years ago we had "Bend It Like Beckham" where it was obviously still a weird and wonderful concept that a girl might be good/want to play football
Now we're at the point where it's already totally normal for girls to play - it's just another sport
Let's be honest - if (and it's a big if) England win the World Cup on Sunday - that's absolutely huge for the sport and huge for societies perception of how out-dated the football patriarchy is

WharfedaleRam reacted to angieram in v Burton Albion (A) Match Thread
I haven't commented on the match yet, it's so easy to sit back after a good win and think "job done" but that wasn't how I was feeling for a large part of the game.
After a bright start, the early goal should have suited us as it brought Burton out of their shell and into attack mode. I thought we didn't deal with it too well. We dropped in quite deep and some of our play at the back was very nervy in that first half.
Second half we started to see the gaps appear that gave us some space to play into, but even then there was a lot of hoofing the ball forwards from our defence without any real intent of finding a forward. Watching Hourihane and Bird trying to win headers in midfield is not my idea of fun!
Thankfully, those two players had the nouse to keep trying to play their football and Burton were tiring rapidly. It didn't help that when we did break free, most of our chances fell to Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who appeared to have left his finishing boots at home (decent saves from the goalkeeper too).
The relief when the second goal went in was palpable both on and off the pitch! The fans relaxed, the players relaxed and we started to play some very attractive football., which rewarded us with that third goal.
I hope the players and fans take some confidence from yesterday's game. It wasn't as good as the score suggests, just as the Wigan game wasn't as bad as the play. (The less said about the Blackpool game the better!)
Confidence is such a fragile thing. Players new to the Club who must desperately want to impress trying a bit too hard; current players who have been playing a different style for much of their footballing lives; fans who want us to win, yes, but who also like to see decent football.
I'm now looking forward to the Oxford game to see whether yesterday was a turning point, or whether we will have to be patient a while longer for it all to gel together.
Same starting team for me, please. Put as much effort in as Collins did yesterday and we'll be right!

WharfedaleRam reacted to Boycie in Anyone got an EV charge point?
They need to make them cheaper to buy, increase charger points away from home, and expand the capacity in the network.
Once they’ve stopped selling petrol and diesel cars they’ll tax the hell out of electric cars. How else will they get back the lost tax revenue from the duty on fuel?

WharfedaleRam reacted to Gaspode in Michael Smith
Precisiely - folk calling the club amateurs because they've tried to loan a player rather than put in a bid to buy are ridiculous - maybe we CAN'T buy because the EFL won't let us sign anyone other than on a free or on loan? - maybe some folk have short memories? We simply don't know what restrictions we're under and DC is highly unlikely (quite rightly) to make the details public until we're free of EFL interference....

WharfedaleRam reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in Martyn Waghorn - signed a 1-year deal
To me this is a no brainer.
Won't take up much of the budget. Can play across the front line, threat from a set piece. Works his socks off. Loves the club. Confident he would chip in with around 10 goals.
Most clubs in this league would have Waghorn in a heartbeat.
Get him in on a one year deal.

All of her goals (including the disallowed one) were absolute crackers. And Daley's at the end. If the men's team had scored goals with finishing technique that good we'd have a dozen pages of discussion about it!

OK. As this is a thread for other fans to write their thoughts. Does it mean if I want to post on here I have to open with.

I think Harry Kane should move on after a recent spate of high profile burglaries.
Ryan Giggs was burgled recently and they got away with 13 Premier League medals, 2 Champions League medals, 4 FA Cup medals, 1 UEFA Super Cup medal, 9 FA Community Shields and 3 Football League Cup medal.
Harry Kane had a toaster and flat screen tv stolen.
