  1. Oh and I got attacked by a man at the bottom of the Moor after a steel city derby. He attacked me and my mum, not @eDDie - go figure
  2. Back before the days of social media, when there was just this forum, I experienced the following: - A man come up to me in the queue for food at Derby away and tell me in graphic detail about the "w**k [he'd] had over [my] photos last night" and how much he had .... deposited. - A man once came up to me, in the queue for a programme at Donny away and grabbed up my skirt, between my legs and told me he was "a big fan, vicky love" - I'm constantly called a slag, *****, ***** etc on social media or in person for having an opinion on football - I've been followed home twice after the match and had to walk to the petrol station instead - I'm constantly expected to explain why my opinion is relevant - I've been told to get back to the kitchen on numerous occasions - I've been chanted at that I take it up the arse, have chlamydia etc - I was attacked by a group of young lads at Peterborough away about 8 years ago, resulting in my finger being broken so badly that I am still unable to use it despite 3 operations Many of these were witnessed by members on here, none of these are lies. So yes, I will continue to campaign and be a voice for women and girls at the football. Take your male fragility elsewhere.
  3. Nah, poo
  4. Thanks for letting me know your experience as, presumably, a white 70 year old man.
  5. The Owls will celebrate International Women’s Day when we take on Cambridge at Hillsborough on Saturday. On Tuesday, the world celebrated the achievements of women in all industries to mark to the annual occasion and we will be putting the focus on our female staff and supporters in S6 this weekend. Local charity Saffron will hold a bucket collection around our stadium prior to our game with the U’s. The organisation support women who are survivors of abuse and trauma, offering psychotherapy and wellbeing courses to help them rebuild their lives. Ahead of kick-off, players of both clubs will don warm-up shirts showing support for HerGameToo, a national organisation which aims to raise awareness of, and combat, sexism in football. Dozens of professional and grassroots clubs around the country have joined forces with HerGameToo, highlighting the appetite for making football stadia a more comfortable environment for women. Wednesday’s HerGameToo ambassador Victoria Wood (AKA ME) told swfc.co.uk: “Saturday will be a great day to be a female Sheffield Wednesday fan. “To see the club supporting the campaign is really special and the players wearing our messaging is so important. “Everyone should be able to go to a football game and feel safe and comfortable, regardless of their gender, age, disabilities, race or sexuality. We all want to see Wednesday do well and that's all that matters." Young female Wednesdayites will wave flags as the Owls enter the field of play, before the Wednesday Ladies are greeted at half time. Members of the junior teams will lap the Hillsborough pitch, giving supporters a chance to show their appreciation for our women’s side. The Sheffield Wednesday Community Programme will also be facilitating mini games of girl’s football on the pitch before the teams return for the second half. We look forward to seeing everyone at Hillsborough to join us in celebrating International Women’s Day. https://www.hergametoo.co.uk

  14. Was fortunate to be on that call with him. He spoke absolute sense. I'm not a happy clapper by any means, I've just tried to keep my nose out of politics for fear of losing interest in the football, but this really shook me. Coming from someone who knows football inside out, it was really interesting to hear.
  15. You can only imagine the high pitched noise that came out of my mouth when Alexandersson confirmed!
