Should this be "stickied" and the Women removed from the stiffs thread?

No. Forty odd thousand turn up for the men's matches. So there's far more interest in it. The U23 and Women have a valuable role to play but there really isn't as much time and interest invested. When the interest increases then perhaps?

We could have a separate women's thread. We get threads for plenty less deserving causes, pretty sure Danny Drinkwater had one.

I vote for the women having their own stickied thread. They are in the top league in England in a world game for women.

They are not academy players or reserve players.

Me too. Plus the stickied thread that they are part of is out of date, should be 2020/21 season now...

I'd vote no.  I have no interest in the women's team or the women's game and another sticky topic just clogs the board up.

Or it stops you looking at womens stuff when you think it might be the u23's!

Been in a bit of bother in Barbados. It seems from the article she does still work for us, I wasn't sure since her Twitter comments earlier in the year.

Honestly, she's a fucking liability. A director of Aston Villa shouldn't be making headlines for all the wrong reasons repeatedly.

She definitely does, she has been involved in a number of our new signings. At least in publicity photos and so on, not sure how much she does behind the scenes though I think she may have helped sway the ex-Chelsea England International defender.

Having criticised her earlier, I'll say I don't think the latest controversy is necessarily her fault, nor anything to get too worked up about. Just a genuine misunderstanding.

Isn't it? She chose to do it. The guidelines are pretty clear.

Well if you are no longer worked up by Cummings indiscretion, then not anything to get worked up over. Personally she left the hotel after having a test but not getting the results. If she had been positive she could have spread it. The only difference is she appears to be truly sorry where Cummings doesn't have human feelings.

I don't know the Bajan guidelines but it seems that they weren't clear. Even if they were, she is human and made a mistake. This seems different to people with a don't give a fuck attitude knowingly breaking rules.

That's my impression of what happened, anyway. It may be she is entirely guilty and I am just too trusting in this case.

Edit: very different to Cummings, who you would expect to know the rules inside out as an politician responsible for their implementation and who knowingly broke said rules because he considered himself more important than the law.
