Draw was a fair result but that was a clear foul on Kelly and should have been given in what was an absolutely key decision in the game. Arsenals first completely against the run of play and a flukey break of the ball off Blackstenius right into Mannums path for a great finish. Park scores the best goal of the game whilst Meade bounces one in of the inside of her knee ball going straight to her from a deflection off the post. At least the Arsenal women didn't roll around on the ground every 5 minutes for none existent cramp and injuries and tactical time outs although Eideval made a yellow card twat out of himself as usual by haranguing the fourth official and referee despite getting every key decision apart from a potential offside that only a slow mo VAR cameras going to pick up. Both sides will be up there at the end of the season - this result here last year would have won CIty the League, thats how tight it is over 22 games..
@@shebahn Well obviously. But live for me is the middle of the night and I have small children. Enjoy the replay much more not knowing the score. I know you want more subs. Just giving you some feedback 👍
true also if foords goal was allowed they would be taking the 3 points cause i think everyone can agree it wasnt offside. also put mead as the 9 or marrnum
watching back - do you think they should have been allowed to play on? as an arsenal fan i would be pretty pissed if that was against us. not the teams fault, but standard of reffing should have improved on last year. similar thing happened with the first chelsea man city game last year.
Just one man’s opinion but I am very doubtful that the ACL issues are attributable to any of women’s physiology, menstrual cycles or fatigue. If fatigue was a defining factor then men would have significant ACL issues particularly given how many more games they play. If women’s physiology and menstrual cycles played a part, I think we’d see a lot more ACL injuries in tennis etc. particularly as research on menstrual cycles and elite sport is at such a rudimentary level. I think what we will find is that the main driver is a lack of strength and conditioning training from a young age due to a lack of elite youth programs even now - and something that was pretty nonexistent 10 years ago when a lot of todays players in their prime were in their teens. Boys who end up at the elite level are in academies from a very young age and the amount of staff, facilities and attention given to their physical development is exponentially greater than it is for women today and like I said, it wasn’t even a thing not that long ago. To go from essentially part time training to suddenly an elite pro athlete with elite expectations and schedule without the training and conditioning when you were growing is I think the main source of the problem. The good news is even without research the situation should improve over time because the academy set up for women is only going in one direction. Just one man’s opinion though
What could possibly be done to reduce the numbers of ACL injuries? ACL are one of the most common injuries to happen to athletes. Especially basketball. Is it due to running and moving at a lower speed? More weight distribution in our hips?
Here's a question: Does the rate of ACL injuries differ between different styles of play. I am thinking here of the differences between NWSL (US League) and WSL. The style of play of these competitions is quite different and I am wondering if the US style of play lends itself to NOT having so many ACL injuries. I just don't hear US commentators talking as much about ACL injuries as I do in the UK. Does anyone know? Or have I got this completely wrong and have just missed the conversation.
My daughter is 14 and has relatively recently been told she has an ACL injury. I say “told” because it doesn’t make a great deal of sense to me. She has played football for about 3 years and about a year ago she began experiencing pain below her knee. First it was suspected to be shin splints, then Osgood-Schlatter. I was pretty confident the latter was not the case. Eventually they did an MRI scan which revealed an ACL tear, I was told it was not serious enough to warrant stopping her usual activities and we have been attending physio to build the surrounding muscle. Does this not sound odd? What is the likelihood my daughter was not aware of such an injury? Going by the questions I was asked by the doctor and the information I’ve found about such an injury, severe pain,swelling,the knee giving way and popping noises is pretty much standard. My daughter did not experience any of these, at worst the pain is uncomfortable (the pain itself is below the knee, perhaps too below the knee in fact) Whilst I’m aware this injury is graded by its severity, what are the chances of being blissfully unaware of it occurring? I’m entertaining the possibility that the pain itself may not be an ACL injury, it’s about two and half inches below knee and hurts to touch. So the question is, can someone have a very partial tear which may have never been realised or discovered without an MRI, but perhaps over time in this form it is more susceptible and or increasingly likely to worsen and become a full blown ACL injury as most people understand them?
Difficult topic to cover as there is no explanation and consequently no resolution as yet to this horrendous injury which is more common than people know. Well done Shebahn with once again discussing this sensitive issue 👍
Your channel is always informative Shebahn. That’s tragic news about Sophie, wishing her all the best for her recovery. ⚽️ Keep up the good work Shebahn. 😁
Well, you sound nice. 'Your time has passed years ago' is an absurd statement to make about a player who has only just turned 33 and has been a key part of both Chelsea's and Wales's squads for years. But of course on social media players should be taken out and thrown off a cliff the day they turn 25. The normal human response to news that is certain to be devastating to Sophie Ingle, who was desperate to represent Wales at a major tournament, is to show some degree of sympathy for her misfortune. But we live in the age of anonymity, where random people online know more than experts and top people in their own fields, and as a result feel emboldened to engage publicly in the most extraordinary stupidity. ACL injuries occur in players OF ALL AGES. There have been numerous examples of teenagers experiencing this issue, sometimes in both knees. The apparent ACL epidemic is a consequence of a myriad of factors. Attempting to tie what is probably the most notorious injury in women's football to a player's supposed advanced age is a rather lazy hypothesis. I'd take 'Grandma' Ingle any day over many younger players I can think of, but will not name.
The transgender issue needs to be addressed. At the end of the day it's a safety issue. If that keeper goes up in a set piece and falls on a player, you have the muscle mass and body mass of a male, it's genetics. Not the issue of being transgender. Maybe weight and muscle mass restrictions could be put in place to allow equality.
