Bogle's got to start living in the oppo half more if he wants to upseat Georgie boy

 

[RedandWhite]

Honestly don't think it's an awful read. She had done her homework at least, alot of the stuff shes written is spot on.

There’s almost a complement in there somewhere.

 

[nopigfansintown]

She's a great writer and has written very well on the Blades in the past.

Worth bearing in mind that Bogle will be operating in a wing back role for us, backed up with a very solid defence. His statistics are very encouraging. It sounds like we might've only paid £3.5m for him too. Incredible business.

 

[mattbianco1]

Incredible business.

Unbelievable signing

 

[Maidenhead]

Probably because she's from Sheffield and she's a Blade

You have to remember he hasn't had the luxury of playing alongside Bashambauer until now.

 

[Whipitin]

I work with her dad, she's a true blade and season ticket holder.

You clearly know Kate far better than I do.

You know what, fair play, she clearly knows her stuff.

What ever so slightly irritates me now is that ok, we've now got more and more women infiltrating the men's game in terms of commentating and punditry, but no men doing the same in women's football. That's feminism for you, they want everything that's theirs and some of ours as well...... and tomorrow the demands will all have changed, so fucking stay awake.

At the risk of being on the wrong end of a whoosh moment.

PHIL NEVILLE IS LITERALLY THE ENGLAND WOMEN’S MANAGER.

Pretty sure Jonathan Pierce commentates on women’s football and until recently the national team had a male manager. So it’s not entirely one way.
My aunt drove my love of football, she even played herself during the 60’s. Sadly departed now but you’d have done well to better her in knowledge of and debate about the game.
Read and critique the content that’s fine but seriously getting het up about a woman writing it particularly when you read some of the absolute shite her male colleagues write is a bit rich pal.

He isn't.

 

[BettingBlade]

He isn't.

He's stepping down next summer.....so he still is.

Except there is, but you do you

The only reason his heat-map is further back, is because he played in a back 4 at Derby, had to do a lot more defending than George does. Very impressive stats for a full back.

Just to avoid all doubt... I was being funny. Bogle is a top signing

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I thought it was a good well researched piece. Clearly knows her stuff which is far more than most pundits do.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Excellent piece, written by someone that clearly knows their stuff about the Blades.

Kate Burlaga writing well informed pieces about us does not irritate me one bit. I know the womens national team had a male manager recently, and a useless one at that. They deserved better.

Sorry Sam64 , I don't understand your comment.

I apologise for my chauvinistic outburst, it was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Some Billy Connolly references in it too.

And obviously so was I... luxury of playing with Bash?.... come on.

WAS.

(and they deserved better)

 

[coaxingstar71]

It is rather funny how many people these days rush forward to be offended by what was a tongue-in-cheek comment. I included references to Billy Connolly material too.

Just proves you can't say anything these days.

Anyway there was this irishman..........

As I’ve found to my cost over the years with emails that I thought were jokey and others took as serious you can’t always rely on it being clear you’re being tongue in cheek. There’s too many people on here who are being serious about stuff like this for us always to see when it’s meant as a laugh. By the way have I mentioned I’m Irish before you go any further?






Just kidding!
