Watching WSL football without a crowd is completely dispiriting. I come over all sexist, those shrill players' voices and the female commentators regaling us with giggles over careers many men had been too sexist even to notice ........ Oh Lord and it is such a poor advert for the game. Without a crowd the standard of play certainly falls in the men's game, so I'm sure it has a similar effect on women.
FA Cup - Torquay 5-6 Crawley ........ brilliant, brilliant game, a feast of attacking football? Or two primary school teams forced to play on a freezing cold Thursday by sadistic PE masters? You takes your pick, but I would have backed myself to score at least two ....... and I was a goalie. Too often from FA Cup all the way to Premiership it looks like people going through the motions, but then because the crowd isn't there to make it real, players score brilliant fearless goals occasionally and touches of brilliance usually left on the training ground sometimes make it to apparently serious games.
