Jaggernaut Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I was on the BBC football scores and fixtures page, and thought I'd look at when the next Jags women's match would be played. I wasn't prepared for the bombshell. To my astonishment and horror, "Partick Thistle Women" was not recognized by the search facility for finding a team. "Ladies"? Nope. "Jagettes"? Nope. Every other team in the league is recognized by the BBC, but our women are snubbed. Furious complaint duly sent in. Outraged of Kyoto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Did you try searching using "Patricia" Thistle? Edited October 21, 2021 by scotty spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Can't say that I am in the slightest bit fussed by womens football (sorry if that is not PC, but it does nothing for me) I was prepared to be outraged. However, when I tried, I couldn't find any of the Scottish Womens teams listed specifically, only the "Scottish Women's Premier League".

But look at Hibernian, for example, and on the drop down menu "Scottish Women's Premier League" appears. But not for us. "Hibernian Women" also leads you to the SWPL. We gubbed them last week (well, 3-2), but the BBC "couldn't find" any results for "Partick Thistle Women". It's an outrage, I tell ya.

That's the Thistle team which last won promotion from the third tier. I still shudder thinking about that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Slippers: one of my favourites from back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End 2 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I tend to agree with Dick Dastardly. Women's football just leaves me cold. Apologies to anyone who may be offended by that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
