    FA allows sex discrimination

    Why must I have sympathy for anyone who wishes to force their way into a category they are not entitled to? I am 5ft 1in and feel young.

    FA allows sex discrimination

    So far? Only at amateur / university level AFAIK. 72 are playing. I believe Blair Hamilton was/is GK for English universities team. Others will surely follow. That's one woman displaced from the team and one too many.

    Are People Moving?

    A tale for our times. Some fans moan that they can't stand and do it any way. This creates conflict with other fans, health and safety rules and ground regulations.
