Yeah I agree on debating and stating a view all I'm doing is opposing your view

in response to dunc's post...i think it's the biggest pile of unadulterated pony droppings i ever heard in my life. personally, i subscribe to one idea and one only. if you're good enough to do the job, you're good enough. if ms. dalglish came in and managed us to the prem title, i wouldn't give a flying sh!t. the idea of a men only game in terms of officialdom or any other aspect of it is just bizarre to me.

I be the first to join the squad, no matter what position

It won't work, Dunc, sorry mate. There may be women out there capable of giving back twice what a man can dish out, maybe there are women out there who will have no trouble with 200 pound 6'5" center backs/forwards trampling all over them, kicking them every chance they get, or using force to shove them off the ball. But they are few; perhaps 1 for every thousand women who actually play the game, I would say, fewer for those capable of handling top flight football in any country. You want every stadium in Europe to build more change-rooms just for such a minority? They will oppose a law change on money grounds long before morality comes into it. This is worse than suggestions made recently by Platini.

I'm not saying women can't cut it, and this is not gender discrimination because I'm an equal opportunities kind of guy, but football is a contact sport, discrimination exists everywhere in the world, and I don't think that the vast majority of women footballers out there would enjoy the bulls*it that would come with being part of the men's game. Perhaps they would for a while, maybe some would get a kick out of it, but not week after week, season after season. If you thought Zidane was [oops] off enough about comments regarding his sister that he would headbutt a guy in the world cup final, how much more crude would insults be on the pitch when directed at a woman? And not just for special occasions; every bl00dy game. How much grappling in the area just for a feel, and then telling her you got such a kick out of it? I think that most teams who have women playing for them would protect her to a certain extent etc, but in the end it comes down to not being about the game anymore.

I'm all for equality, but some pegs don't fit in every hole.

Thought Dirk was dutch not German.

again thundyr, if you're good enough, you play. if you're lightweight, too short, too fat, too slow, not tough enough....you dont play. it's really very simple. I dont even see how this is a gender argument.
