Chelsea women on the FA player again at 15:00 GMT. For my sins I will be watching Ireland being humiliated against France which is on at the same time
Good luck with that. The rugby already tainted for me given what happened last week Chelsea all over Bristol in the first few minutes. Kerr had a free header 6 yards out and put it wide. Sigh.
Harder is quality. Lovely work and finish to make it 2. Bristol are well out of their depth here, could be a brutal scoreline if they dont put in a shift from here.
5-0. The rain and pitch really slowed the game down in the last 30 minutes. Kerr was through one on one towards the end and it put it over the bar.
Well Ireland put in a good performance, I will watch the Women on the BBC tonight. Chelsea paid £300,000 for Harder, unheard of money in the female game like when PSG bought Naymar
Do you think Emma Hayes would swap out Jorginho for Leupolz or Ingle? Maybe Erin Cuthbert would toughen him up a bit in training.
CL Draw for the women happened today, and we got.... Atletico Madrid I daresay that FCW will have a bit of an easier time with them than their male counterparts
Solid 2-0 defeat of Atletico at home. Berger saved two spot kicks! Oh and they played with 10 women after a red card in the 12th minute!!
Great game in the champions league against Athletico, Chelsea playing with 10 after Ingle was sent off after 15 minutes. Chelsea keeper saved 2 penalties and Chelsea win 2-0 Kerby scores again
Just gonna leave this here: So basically, Fran Kirby > Leo Messi. pic.twitter.com/HugaO3rFHg— Bill Connelly (@ESPN_BillC) February 11, 2021
Kerr and England with the goals today and then they both assisted each other as well. Another win today.
Easy win and rested Kirby. We’re supposed to have these games available via the 5th Stand app as well. Hope they’re a better product there. Would rather have this than nothing, but the broadcast is a single fixed camera and no replays. Recordings posted of the full match rarely make it all the way to the end. Players and the League deserve better.
I've found the fa player coverage to be decent. I just don't think you're going to see a ton of camera angles and production values at this level, its freaking expensive and the eyeballs aren't there right now. Honestly I'm just glad we are getting the games at this point. Maybe winning the champions league will progress things. I think arsenal are the only english winners and that was yonks ago, a different era for the womens game. Tbf I've not even downloaded the 5th stand so can't comment on any of that side of things.
At least with the FA player I can cast it to my TV. The 5th stand only has live rights to a very limited range of matches. The West Ham game was the worst coverage I have seen on the FA player to be fair. The camera did not seem up to the usual standard and was having problems adapting to the changing light conditions. The rights are held between BT and the BBC and the best coverage is when BT transmit a live game. There is a BBC highlights package so I think on most occasions there is more than one camera. Maybe the facilities at the Dagenham and Redbridge ground are not up to it
Chelsea v Athletico starts at 12:30 GMT. On BT sport in the UK, on the 5th stand app everywhere else except Spain. Chelsea lead 2-0 from the first leg
Ends 1-1 with Athletico missing the third penalty of the round Chelsea go through 3-1. They came with a plan and left with the victory
Rode our luck today, Madrid could have had several penalties, but there again perhaps we knew they would never score from the spot. Toni Duggen (ex Man city) took the penalty this time and hit the bar.
