Still not a shred of evidence that the FA banned women’s football due to jealousy. Good on that fan-site for keeping their memory alive but they don’t even cite sources so …

Well, they didn’t minute it. But it was very much part of the context.

But still, you’re arguing the toss over the FA’s motivations now, so you’ve accepted that you were originally talking out of your arse, and continued to talk out of your arse, for some unfathomably fragile reason.

Welp, still no source backing your initial claim that the ban was due to women’s matches outperforming men spectator-wise.

But you accept that they did, and that’s progress.
