Non? - Keiffer Moore

[Smidsy]

It’s mad how a fake tweet could prompt a 3 page discussion of absolute nonsense. Sums this board up.

I think everyone is board stiff, tbh. Anything to pass the time until the window opens.

Highcliffe festival this weekend was good

Why would a thread about Kieffer Moore be "Non?"
Oh is it because it's actually about the standards of women's football?

Because I thought he may have gone to Stoke, hence the question mark.

Just because you like football doesn't mean you're the target audience for it. It's finding its crowd and growing pretty quickly.

Probably by the time it's at the popularity level whereby you deem the BBC should cover it, they won't be able to afford the rights.

It's good to see the BBC not being afraid to give coverage to a sport that was unfairly suppressed for so long and be a part of its journey into the mainstream.

Some people will go to both. Lots will choose one or the other. Old men will shout at clouds.

Sorry I missed the headline about it being unfairly suppressed

A sport that was unfairly suppressed? Must have missed that!

No worries. Here you go:

How the FA banned women’s football in 1921 and tried to justify it

A year after more than 50,000 turned up to watch Dick, Kerr Ladies play St Helens, a ban was introduced that was to last half a century

Or, if you object to The Grauniad, try here:

Why women's football was banned for 50 years – and is only just recovering

In 1921, the FA declared football “quite unsuitable for females” and outlawed the sport. Carrie Dunn looks at how far the game was set back...

"No one could take the memories": the forgotten story of how Fifa suppressed women's football

The growth figures are interesting and perhaps a reflection of the coverage its getting.

I'd be interested to know if they are paying customers, or whether some tickets are freebies, rather like American Football over here.

Either way, its good to see the game getting a wider audience. I haven't got hooked myself yet, but maybe in future.

Surprised there isnt a campaign to get FIFA to apologise.
