What do they expect? All the players are men. The vast majority of coaches, scouts, etc. are men. Obviously in such a male-dominated environment there's going to be some sexism. They're not used to having women around.

Having said that, I can bet Eva gets treated as an equal :P

This programme is already making me annoyed. It's almost sexist that this is even on. If women want to work in men's football, they should expect a few comments. Seriously.

Its true though. It'll be like that for a long time, until women are accepted in the mens football scene. I'd imagine it would have been the same with female bus drivers and construction labourers and tradesmen (or tradeswomen).

About bloody time.

Seriously, why should women expect a "few comments" ? On what even ? On their gender ?They should be treated equaly, infact no different to a man, but till then it is a long way to go. You wouldn´t hear comments towards a "lad" that are bringing him down to his male gender in a demeaning way, and if so it would be that he was called something that is supposed to be a female thing.

It is not sexist to report about the sick stuff that women have to put up with if they want to work or even live in an enviorment that is "male dominated" (as if this would explain something on it´s own).

Wonder if they'll mention Sepp Bellend Blatters (yes thats his real middle name), comments when asked what he thought about womens football and he said - ''they should have tighter shorts'' :wank2:

I find you have to be if you want to get a shag

Its like theyve done the Homophobia in Football thing couple of weeks ago, which was FA window dressing, and now theyre doing the sexism thing-

...bottom line is fuck all will change about either any time soon

I think that there is the part that the institutions play in fighting against racism,sexism and antisemitism but then there is also the individual behavoir of the fans, the players everyday that matter to be changed. Whishfull thinking, i know. Like Chelsea (do other clubs do it as well? ) did against Tottenham to install extra secruity staff to make sure that the chants against jewish people weren´t going is a very good thing but it just puts the lid on some of the peoples behavior and they might go on and sing these things in the pub anyway. As i was saying, it is one thing to relay on the FA, but it is another to take documentaries like these seriously and try to cut out the bullshit, basicially.
