Can you imagine a woman trying to mark Henry in his prime . Women are deluded if they think they can play at the same level as men. If women's football is so good how come even women don't watch it?

Thanks for sharing that with us Zachsda (wots it stand for btw, Zacks Dad ?) and coincidentally I'd actually mooted Clare Balding as being a perfectly potential Huddersfield Town manager, seemed to get short shrift from some sources

"Imagine a woman going up for a header with Samba"
Thing is they would have to amend the rules to make it easier for women which would be the end if the game. Mixed sèx sports don't work

I watched that World Cup Jacko (the one where Japan beat the US in the final) and I also thought it was pretty enjoyable. Some of the German "ladies" could probably shoulder barge anyone off the ball

Certainly don't agree with mixed teams........can't imagine any female centre half marking Marlon King....

But I'm all for the women's pro league getting more exposure. Football has evolved and become more women-friendly in the past 20 years and the steady increase in interest is great in my opinion. There are now thousands of young girls getting involved in the game from a young age and this can only be a good thing in terms of health and fitness and also social development.

Football is football. If I'm waiting at the lights and there's a group of kids in a park with jumpers for goalposts, I still want to see the end of the attack before the lights go green!

Would you back one of the Williams sisters to give Andy Murray a right towelling, well yeah I guess you might & lets face it Rebecca Adlington would offer only the sight only of her backside to many
of her male counterparts in any chase around an olympic size pool.

I dunno you know, perhaps all that it would take is an infectious personality the likes of British Boxer Nicola Adams, who epitomises gorgeous and strong, physical drive n determination, to force just such a breakthrough. Nicola, change codes/sport girl.

Will it happen, Yes I think so, In my time, who knows, Hey if gay footballers have found a way through to wider acceptance then 4 sure mixed male/female footballs gonna happen.

I wish they'd done it when I was at school. I was an animal of a centre half back in the day and the thought of forcefully slide tackling some of the gobby wenches in my year is a beautiful one. It would certainly have taught Louise Young a lesson for refusing my generous invitation to sneak behind the bike sheds together at the 5th form Xmas disco......

I think you have crack-ed the code Zach tho tbh I was rather nicely surprised that that 'Passage' was allowed to slip in thru the 'back door' so to speak, so I guess its three cheers for Ja, tho hey
I don't wish in any way to cheapen the 'thrust' of this thread as in fact it was a very serious attempt to receive some sorely needed femme input, so hey I just wonder can anyone tell me :-

Where have all the flowers gone ?

simple fact is you would have to find 11 female footballers who could;;

a. play well enough
b. be physically strong enough

to compete with men on the same level, be that sunday league or international.

im sure you could find 1 or 2 at most levels but a squad of 22 would be near on impossible...

remember, its not how good/strong you are , its about how good and strong your competition are..
the best female athletes in all sports would hammer most men, but they cant get close to the best male athletes...unless we alter physiology that wont change..

nicola adams is great but she will never be able to punch as quickly or as hard as a similarly trained and talented male...

Im not even sure that ladies playing tough physical sports have great ambitions to take on men anyway.. its a non starter.. males and females are different for obvious reasons and long may it stay that way, if too many ladies take on male characteristicts we will have war and mayhem and stupidity worldwide all the time..

by the way..the lady linesperson is always up with play and has proved that she gets the decisions right, even after so called "experts" doubted her calls.. this is for the simple reason that she is fit and appears to run the line rather than trying to be an additional referee(quite rightly in my mind).. she also looks to have played the game recently because she can read the game and is usually in the right place to see the incident rather than huffing up the line and having a guess..

I've no problem with women Lino's and Refs controlling the games, but mixed teams are a complete non-starter for the reasons pointed out by 38.

Although ex Sky commentators Keys and Gray were totally opposed to the first female official (Sian Massey) and stated the game had gone mad, these two are just a couple of arrogant & pompous bigots who were rightly sent packing by Sky.

In fact I believe most players would show more respect and courtesy towards female officials, who wouldn't stand for the amount of swearing and back chat currently aimed at male officials.

I've only seen one female (Sian Massey) lino to date and she appears more than competent, compared to some of the clowns we often get officiating at Town games who are frightened to make a decision in case it upsets the Ref.

Just to clarify, I'm certainly not proposing a team or indeed a squad of 22 femmes, No way and yet the introduction of one or two in the same way that black players in the days of Cec Pod were shuffled in MAY really IM(humble)O truly have some merit.

One things for certain either Serena or Venus would offer more to our game than that compulsive, fouling fanatic Alan Lee, Can anyone honestly tell me what more he has to offer the game of football than the Williams sisters other than a middle wicket, they are fitter, get around the court in speedier fashion, cover more ground and don't seem to suffer from Twitchy Tennis Elbow in the way that he does.

There you go again. Jacko…

“As for womens football, to be honest I quite like watching it...you don't get the diving, feigning injury, shirt pulling etc...it's slower and not as physical, so more reliance on individual skill. A bit like football was back in the 60's, when you didn't need to be 6'6" and 15 stone of muscle to compete..”


From an article by Andy Cole in ‘Four Four Two’ magazine, August 2012, post ‘Euro 2012’…


“The English mindset needs to change. There’s just no way a Xavi, or Iniesta would have come through the English system because they would have been told they were too small.

In England, people ask, “Can he get around the pitch?” They look at work-rate or ask if a player puts his foot in. English obsess about weaknesses rather than strengths.

The fans don’t help either. They expect blood and thunder, players to spit and scratch, and do whatever they need to do to get the ball forward.”


I see a lot of what Cole is referring to when I watch junior football. The flair players aren’t wanted.

Andy Cole used to fluff some good chances, but had impressive stats. at both Newcastle United (55 goals in 70 appearances), and at Manchester United (93 goals in 195 appearances).


Women play football like fish ride bikes.

We had a mixed game at Uni for a laugh one afternoon,,, One of the lasses who played footy for the girls Uni side was trying to put it about a bit,, She kopped me twice before i did her with a Micky Kennedy challenge,, Soft cow, dished it out but couldnt take it,,,, We never played em again, They never asked,,,, I also had a game of hockey while at tech,, The footy was cancelled due to weather so we were roped into playing a mixed game of hockey v Wakey,,, I was pants and ot absolutley mullerd the whole game by a pretty little thing who was shiv hot,,,, I kept getting pulled for raising the stick to high,,,,, And eventually subbed for my own good after blooding another girls nose by doing the aformentioned,,, Never ever played again.

Hey I say, Your not really Wandering Walter from Wetwang are you

High Low Jack…

They ain’t fish, they are axolotls.

One of my claims to fame is that way back in 1959 I was the first pupil at Donetheboys Hall to acquire a copy of ‘Mad’ magazine, published in the U.K., price 1s. 6d. That was my introduction to axolotls, and also… I had one grunch, but the eggplant over there.

I am certainly not Wandering Walter from Wetwang, and I don’t think you should be publishing suggestions like that on this board. After all, there might be sailors reading it.

If you must know, my real name is Dan Glibbits, but I used to work the halls under a nom de guerre. Wearing a turban and a face full of burnt cork, I presented a very unusual snake charming act featuring the world’s most ancient reptiles. It was called ‘Abdul And His Load Of Old Cobras’… but please… keep it under your wig, there’s a good chap. I don’t want inundating with requests for autographed, scratch 'n' sniff photos.

Most amusing Uncle Delusional I'm sure, well it made me guffaw haw haw haw anyway. However having researched a little about you and reviewed a tuthry of your postings you do seem to have a cute way of veering off the various threads supposed paths which patently is why I suppose Wandering Walter came into my mind. Clearly though your fetish with fish gives you away for, Sir Walter Trout is who you must surely be, yes!

Crème Bootsée

I don’t have a fish fetish. I can’t even say it without dislodging my dentures, and just now as I typed this on my keyboard, my computer made a weird noise, and my mouse tried to hide.

Here’s the “Baby Sittin’ Boogie” man…

Crem Bootsee, I see what you've done there uncle d Sir, Mmm nice, bright connection, as indeed was dem tree littel fishies (Some find that was & trust you, only you to know such a tune) but in his time Booze A was surely a prize Pomfret swimming among a sea of easy pickings Plankton, hey here's a track you may recall though slightly different genre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEbzj_ntMeg
