Championship: London Bee's vs United - 23rd September | United win 0-5

[Schmiznurf]

London Bee's currently 6th in league after 1 win and 1 loss and have scored and conceded 3.

United top with 6 points after 2 wins with 15 scored and 0 conceded.

Unfortunately it's not looking like the game will be broadcast and the Man Utd Women's fan twitter has said that London Bee's confirmed they won't be broadcasting it, so whether MUTV do something I don't know.

Mutv have the u23s so I think we will be relying on Twitter updates for this.

Wonder if the official account will even bother tbh.

The official Twitter account did better on Thursday night than in previous games - not a tough bar to get over, but still. I suspect we'll be relying on fan updates though - anybody live in Edgeware/Harrow?

On the Video coverage. I don't think Bees do much on that normally and their linked club (Barnet) are a non-league team so I doubt their stadium is really set up for live broadcast by the club. MUTV might get some recorded highlights later I guess, most matches these days get videoed.

Looking through MUTVs listings, I can’t see this mentioned anywhere. They are showing highlights of the Sheffield Utd game a few times though. They also have the Liam Miller tribute game showing on the 25th

I think MUTV only get what the home team give them. Hopefully they'll be given enough to stick something on YouTube if nothing else.

Hopefully. It would be better viewing than the endless repeats of the Wolves match

You would think if London Bees have no issue and it isn’t being broadcast by them someone from MUTV would make an effort to film it. Villa had a single camera on the game and it was watchable. Surely if they want to build on the woman’s team they’d happily pay the wages of a cameraman and just grab some CAF experts from the crowd to be pundits.

Barnet are in the conference so they will most likely have scaffolding set up at both ends of the ground for their live tv games and BT have the live conference rights. That's how it was when Weymouth were in the conference a few years ago, although to be fair that was when the rights were with sky.

See, this was what I was saying in the sheff utd match thread about there being a gap in the market for coveringtbe women's game. I think I am going to take a serious look at setting something up I think.

It might not even be a realistic possibility but it's worth a look.

I’d imagine the rights for such a thing would still be something silly and I think all our home games will be shown on MUTV.

Most of it seems a bit random right now. The FA site is pretty awful - hard to find information, lots of details missing even on basics like "how are the WSL Continental Cups allocated in a draw" which means other sites are getting the tables wrong.

The individual clubs are all over the place. United aren't doing great, but they've at least tried to integrate it with the club website and it is early days for the club. If they get people to games and watching MUTV I think they'll keep investing.

The best sites I've found at the moment are:
https://www.ourgamemag.com/category/international/
https://shekicks.net
Everything else seems to rely on Twitter and Instagram - all very individual, not many coordinated groups.

Here is the girls dancing vid before Utd embargo police take it down. Good to see they are having fun. Yes that Hanson dancing she might feature today despite that knock.

Subs: Harris, Toone, Sigsworth, Hartley, Devlin, Roberts, Bentley.

 

[RedPamie]

Even if we don't have the rights for away matches, can we at least show the postpone match, like the PL. I'll definitely watch. Lots of women team fans on Twitter rely heavily on MUTV.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

So definitely not televised, or has anyone found a source ? Hoping for a last minute YouTube hero or I’d settle for a radio broadcast and do it like they did in the old days.

I think the tweets are as close as it'll get in terms of live coverage:

That's the London Bees account. They've already tweeted that United have started strong.

Might just camp out on their account and click the refresh button every so often. Thanks for the heads up.

Sounds like it had been pretty much one way traffic even before the goal.

Yeah. I am following it on their twitter feed and it has been all United.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

James has had a goal disallowed for offside.

Luke Swin on YouTube seems to upload footage from all the Bees home games....this being Luke Swindlehurst their manager.

James scores - this one's allowed and we're 2 up.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Another goal for United. James.

 

[Schmiznurf]

Damn 2-0 already and James scoring, brilliant.

 

[abdul jabbar]

Shoulda been 4-0 already,great game.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

We've scored another but I don't know who.

 

[starman]

London Bees. Sounds like a pro evo team

 

[RedPamie]

3-0 now

HT: London Bees 0-3 Manchester United Women #LondonBees

 

[jojojo]

Half time - we go in 0-3 up. They've had to bring on to two subs, one player injured trying to tackle James, the other one injured blocking a Greenwood cross - sounds like they've had to do some last ditch defending.

So someone from United has a camera there!

M.Turner has the 3rd.

They're linked to Barnet who play at The Hive and are nicknamed The Bees, so it's not quite as random as it sounds.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Sigsworth on for Amy Turner.

 

[Schmiznurf]

Come on Siggy!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Green gets her 2nd of the game. 0-4.

 

[Damien]

Demolishing the league at the moment. Hopefully we get another clean sheet.
