I just heard the result of the women's game against Sevco, the past 2 or 3 seasons these "ladies" playing in our famous colours have continually let Celtic down, if they cannot lift their game then disband the whole blooming lot of them.
Womens football here is a joke with 14-0 scores regularly happenening (except for our ladies teams) As you can tell I am not a fan of womens football.
Joke football played by joke footballers.
What a needless and disrespectful post.
Get a grip timalloy

Tim, how much does Celtic invest in these women? I don't know but I suggest it's less than 1% of total expenditure.
I managed the women's side of a league of Ireland club for 3 years and the commitment women show to sport is second to none. I drove 40km three days a week at my own expense. These women couldn't get someone from their own town to coach them.
They worked on their skill and fitness tirelessly. Yeah they moan big time and they give you loads of headaches and other problems but they got nothing from the LOI parent club. Not even a football.
Now I don't know one thing about the Celtic womens team but I would hazard a guess that they are all amateurs playing the game for the love of it, nothing else.
You have some neck to call for them to be scrapped. They don't set out to embarrass themselves or to be humiliated. They play for the love of the game and because they enjoy it, they are not some mercenaries unlike most pro footballers.
Football does not come naturally to most women and very few can bend it like Beckham but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to play ball.

I'm sure if u had a daughter who pulled on the hoops it wouldn't matter the score. I expect comments like that from the knuckle draggers across the city.
Have to agree with the others that the post was a bit below the belt, however, I would add one thing. A lot of the players that now represent Sevco Ladies were actually playing for us up to a season or two ago and indeed challenging Glasgow City so something has went wrong somewhere - Celtic Ladies were actually doing very well and it surpises me that they have went down hill so quickly.
Wow Timalloy you are taking a beating on this! It was blunt but womens football makes me at best indifferent. Undoubtedly the standard has improved over the years and like all sports requires a nurturing process. However, that said until the standard of the goalkeepers becomes at best competent, it will never be held in high regard. On the whole, the level in that position is laughable
Thanks guys I was a bit bored in the house and went "fishing" on here for a wee response, you did not let me down lol
@ post 7 by timalloy - classic back peddling techniques displayed. You need to check your sh7t banter on here mate. Clearly you are trying to provoke a response about women's football, the sad fact is, any of the girls playing would run rings around you!
ShottsBhoy
@7. Classic get out of jail free card lol

Am with Tim women have no place on a park (spanner in the works)
Bet ure a yes man in the house. That's if u have an other half that is. No aloud to speak in the house so u cowardly come on here an spout yer crap. Thumb print on yer heid no doubt. Scared in case ure other half sees yer post. Lol. Bet yer well whipped. BIG MAN. Pmsl
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with tim, but for god sake if that's what he thinks, what's the problem, it's exactly the same thing as saying I hate junior football, or international football.
Get off your PC boxes, and stop trying to be insulted

Yeah, Timalloy is entitled to his opinion, everyone is, I'm far from PC, in fact I have an aversion to all this PC crap and I don't feel one bit insulted. The only people being insulted here are the Women who play for the Hoops for free. Tim don't try insult our intelligence by rowing back on your original comment, have enough balls and the courage of your conviction to stand over your original post please.
