Northern Ireland's women's team manager Kenny Shiels has come in for criticism after claiming "women are more emotional than men".
Shiels made the controversial comments after watching his side humbled 5-0 by England in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier in Belfast. His remarks have drawn criticism from former England duo Ian Wright and Siobhan Chamberlain.
Speaking in the aftermath of the defeat, witnessed by a record crowd of more than 15,000 at Windsor Park, Shiels said: "Girls and women are more emotional than men. So they take a goal going in not very well. I felt [England] were struggling a wee bit at times to open us up until the psychology of going 2-0 up in the women's game.
