    If you don’t know what happened, reading up about the Dick Kerr Ladies in highly recommended.

    Honestly, no skeletons in that rotten organisation's history would surprise me. Only made to look remotely virtuous in comparison to FIFA. The FA are now happy for women to play football, if it makes enough money for them.

    Who did the ironing while those eleven were playing? Disgrace. And eleven hungry blokes went without their dinners.
    Tell you what, there's a few in that photo I wouldn't mess with.

    I don't know why people love it so much, it's just 22 women running around a field after a ball

    ;)

    Thanks for that, something I'd never heard about.

    I wasn't aware that women's football had been banned in the UK, but knowing what I do about the history of this country, I'm not in the slightest surprised.

    Glad to see women's football finally making something of a comeback.

    Unfortunately it the name of the game. Like most things these days.
