Great watch. Caroline is such a talented player and a really lovely humble girl. I spoke to her at the Falkirk game at New Year, she loves the Pars too.

Watched it this morning, really good documentary and plenty Dunfermline links, some absolute belters of finishes throughout it too.

Shame the Pars never really make the most of the links with Caroline or the fact our women’s teams top of the league.

Partly as nobody’s really interested in women’s football

Because everyone has their right to an opinion……not sure what the Pars are meant to do more to push the agenda - they support the womens team, who have their own social pages etc. so what are folk wanting from the club?

There were 6,172 at Tannadice last night for Scotland v Germany so some folk are interested in it. I don`t understand this antipathy towards women`s football. Do its detractors feel the same way about women`s tennis, golf, etc?

Brilliant watch. Caroline comes across as a very grounded person and when you hear other players talking about her is rated as one of the top players in the women`s game.

Plenty Dunfermline references and loved when she held up her Pars top and shouted Come on ye Pars. Also Super Joe Cardle appearance!

Doing no bad for a wee lassie from Dunfermline.

A lot of people think that it should be the same quality as the mens game, which it will never be. I have no issue with people watching it, and will watch it myself knowing that the standard is completely different from the mens game.

The part I have an issue with is the agenda to push for the womens players to get equal pay/sponsor splits etc etc. its like demanding the same prize money for finishing last in League Two as what the Scottish Champions get. Your future revenue is determined by the quality on show - which is nowhere near the mens levels.

I don’t compare the men and women’s game so it becomes more enjoyable that way.
That said , I don’t go out my way to watch it.

That is the way it should be , people who expect it to be on the same level are the ones who dismiss it and claim that `nobody is interested `

And I also agree that the rewards for the game should reflect the income that it generates

Just watched the documentary which was very enjoyable. She`s a really humble girl and a credit to her family and Dunfermline.

35000 people were offered free tickets(edited...probably more as the 35000 are just the ssc members, my guess is local schools ect also got free entry. ) so the attendance is not a measure of proper interest imo
If folk had to pay full price to enter i doubt many would attend.
Same as our game yesterday. No chance we'd get 7k paying £22 to watch us play Hamilton

I would have thought anyone who went to either game was interested regardless of the price they paid for their ticket. The Scotland game was free-to-view on TV too.
