She's a class act in so many ways.

Great to see this result today and a big fuck off to to all of those who have criticised Ian Wright and Alex Scott for saying it like it is.
My second cousin played for Manchester Corinthian Ladies in the 50s. For those that don't know they were a ladies football team from Manchester that toured internationally and were true pioneers of the women's game, in fact our very own Bert Trautmann chaperoned them on their tour of Germany in the late 50s. They were at one time the unofficial England ladies team and I'm proud to say our Barbara was a part of that team (and a blue!). The only reason they were unofficial was because the FA banned women from playing! Hard to believe but true.. My daughters have played at County and Elite Centre of Excellence level for various clubs throughout their teens and are now at Loughborough University doing sports (they've obviously inherited the football gene from Barbara, definitely not from me!). Over the years I have witnessed the prejudice and piss taking against the women's game first hand and It's no surprise to hear people airing their small-minded opinion on here that there's a time and a place for comments about women's standing in the game (probably the same people that moan about taking the knee and footballers having a social conscience etc). Alex and Ian's comments are fully justified. To hear people say there's a tine and place for this kind if thing can fuck right off..the women's game has limited exposure compared to the men's game so if there's an opportunity to tell people like it is to a big audience then fair enough.

Superb post and well said

Not sure Jill Scott is a big fan of the Germans.

Out of interest she’s got a coffee shop just up the road in Northenden.

Can we get you and @chesterbells in the City match threads?

@Jamshopbridge i know exactly what you mean. I was always told it wasn’t ladylike and stopped from playing lots of times with my brothers back in the 40s and early 50s. At school we had a boys playground and a girls playground and the girls games lessons were netball and rounders!
If I answered back and said but I’m not a lady I’d either get a clip round my ear or sent to bed!
Things have taken time but it’s happening.

Does this mean that City won the Euro's? City player with the winner and City player won player of the match.
