I dunno what that is CS. I don't have Sky in my house for the same reason I won't have the Sun or NOTW or anything else Murdoch has his dirty fingers in - I detest him.
I have seen clips of the Sky footie stuff on Youtube but I subscribe to Arsenal TV Online and they have live commentary of all our games and the complete match available to watch in full from the next day so I get to see all our games

Don't Loose Women do something similar? Its an hour programme every day taking shots at men
Some of them do and some of them, quite often the same ones, make ridiculously sexist remarks against women. Mostly, it is meant to be that 'banter' thing you're so fond of! 
There are usually one or two of them who will pull the guilty parties up on it, though, so you get a mixture of opinions.

Issy, if you came and watched a few Ladies games you might feel differently. I love watching Arsenal Ladies or England Ladies, really you don't notice the gender as such, just support the team and the players as footballers rather than women.

Do you know what I think it is Veggie? 
I watched Bend it  Like Beckham and it just put me off - particularly Keira Knightley..

Okay, it was just another example of how rife sexism is on Sky sports.

It would have sounded more like banter had they said something more outrageous like she should have been at home cooking dinner and not on the pitch.

It'd be great to get all parties on Soccer Am or something similar so she can explain the offide rule to them....

They'll have to get used to women in these positions cos there's more and more girls reffing and running the line...my daughter's mate refs a couple of matches every Sunday in one of the local kids leagues.

Why is it wrong that women want to play football  you will being say next they shouldn't have the vote, my daughter is a footballer and very good btw, she won 2 awards last week, which btw i was very proud of my GIRL for getting them, she is not butch by any means, she also know's the off side rule *shock horror* what is the difference between playing say rounders and football and why do women have too be described as butch for getting fit and enjoying playing a sport? maybe i should tell my daughter to cancel her college course that she's worked so hard for incase it makes her look butch

Come now Aimee let's not get carried away here. Nobody's challenging women's right to play football some people just think they look odd playing it. I do. I don't think they look butch they just look awkward. Is the world so PC now that we can't say even that without being accused of being sexist?

Hi Aimee

If you read my post again you will see that I said I do think women do look daft playing football but I would defend to the death their right to play it.

I also said I could not give any rational reason why and I certainly do not think they look butch etc.

I read your post twice tbh Issy and still didn't get where you was coming from, how can you find them awkard and not know why?  my washing line is half full of football kit, basket ball kit and girly dresses, my daughter's girlie but like's sport and keeping fit and she's done the reffing course eek she must be butch, i'll wait till she wakes up too tell her

You call say all you want for me, it does me make me laugh that there's some people in this thread that call PP up for all sorts yet they can call women looking awkard running around a field lol talk about double standards, women can play netball cause it's running around a court but running around on grass is a no go pmsl
Why don't you scroll back to the clip that Gray and Keys were laughing at earlier. It was wrong of them to do so but I can see why and so can any football fan. It was a women's football final and the first goal came about by a shot that was so bad nobody expected it to take the path it took and it went into the goal. It was laughable. Most of the goals came about from hilarious mishaps there was no skill involved in any of the goals.

It's not a woman's game, there I said it. Play it for fun but you're not going to see female players in the England national team any time soon (i.e. never).

I do not think it is a butch thing Aimee. To be fair I think it is because I watched Bend it Like Beckham and perhaps I am judging it on that.... The running looked awkward, it didn't flow... it just looked all wrong.. See it is not a good reason
And its great that she likes all that sport - I wish my two had
