The former England manager said women lacked the experience to comment on men's football.
The former England manager made the comment at 'An Evening With Kevin Keegan' event in Bristol last week, where he also stressed he was a big supporter of the women’s game., the 72-year-old said: “I don’t like to listen to ladies talking about the England men’s team at the match because I don’t think it’s the same experience.
“But if I see an England lady footballer saying about England against Scotland at Wembley and she’s saying, ‘If I would have been in that position I would have done this,’ I don’t think it’s quite the same.Reports say the comments were met with applause from the audience.He added: “When I was England manager I went to coach the England ladies and I had this perception of what the quality would be like and they were so much better than I thought they were going to be.
Despite the recent successes of England's women's team - namely winning the 2022 Euro's - attitudes have remained contentious.
