Northern Ireland coach slammed for saying women's players 'more emotional' than men
Northern Ireland women's coach Kenny Shiels drew intense criticism after suggesting that women are "more emotional" than men, therefore making them more likely to concede two goals in quick succession. England's Lauren Hemp and Georgia Stanway netted twice each while Ella Toone also scored as Northern Ireland were beaten 5-0 in a 2023 Women's World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. There were eight minutes separating the second and third goals, and nine minutes between the last two. "I thought they were struggling a wee bit at times to open us up until the psychology of going two up," Shiels told reporters after the defeat. "In the women's game, you'll have noticed if you go through the patterns, when a team concedes a goal they concede a second one within a very short period of time. "Right through the whole spectrum of the women's game, because girls and women are more emotional than men, so they take a goal going in not very well." Shiels was criticised by former England players Siobhan Chamberlain as well as Arsenal great Ian Wright, who responded by posting a picture of himself crying while playing for the Premier League club. "Kenny Shiels talking foolishness," Wright wrote on Twitter. "Talking about emotional women! Didn't that man see how many times I was crying on the PITCH!"
