No football focus

[car crazy]

Whats happened to football focus it's not on, is it just for the grand prix this week or has it gone for good?

[Guvna]

There was a shorter version a bit earlier in the morning

Holy thread resurrection! 14 years old...

Anyway, Football Bl00dy Focus has been shelved today and replaced with the women's league cup final FFS. World's gone mad.

Haha, I do agree the world has gone mad.
But having watched the woman World Cup and Euro championship tournaments.
I thought they were very good.
Im sure this final will be good too.

There are maybe 10k spectators there and most people who want to watch could easily have got a ticket. Would any men's game with that little interest get such coverage? Thought not...

Chelsea vs Man City.
Two top teams.
Cup final.
Good chance to showcase Woman football.
And it live on TV.

Odd thing to complain about when FF has a decent proportion of its length devoted to Women's Football these days

I complain about that too. Minority sport, much like badminton, as much as the BBC might like otherwise.

Oh, just discovered the proper Football Focus was on at 11am FFS.

Why does it matter?

It's live football, it's showcasing the women's game. Plus providing live coverage it might grow the game and get more young girls interested.

That can only be a good thing?

And because Chelsea's men are so inept, we've all taken to watching the women now. Helps us remind ourselves what a decent manager looks like.
