CTFC Banner at Women's Football Euro's...

Keep your eyes peeled at the end of the month too than, as Bruce and his flag joining me out in Malta for the qualifier there too

Oh dear! That didn't go very well.

It likely got a decent TV audience from a lot of people who wouldn't normally be interested. Unfortunately, the tinpot CTFC banner was the high point.

England were not a great advert for the sport. The Dutch were technically good, moved the ball well & were organised in defence... in contrast to England who were sloppy and devoid of creative ideas.

Worst of all they seemed to dive at every opportunity and that is a real shame because that was one the best things about the ladies game, it has always had a good spirit in which it is played and a notable lack of petty dramatics unlike their male equivalents. It will be a real shame if that has been lost as part of the price to be paid for a higher profile and increased money.

Have to admit to being very impressed by the all-action Danish Skjipper, Pernille Harder... commentators might be glad she is not facing England's Nobbs in the final... don't be fooled chaps, she takes no prisoners. 

Tell your bird that Bert Trautman played on with a broken neck

Those England girlies would never stand for that.
