iirc the slightly loopy chairman of perugia (signed Gaddafi's son etc) tried to sign Hanna Ljungberg and Birgit Prinz but it never came to anything

Um what school,

This year's team is something out of the ordinary with a lot of the North Shore Rep Team that have one quite a few rep titles and a lot of the HKHDCA Rep Team that one last year's Rep Title.

This translates to Basically Gordon and Northern DIstrict Green Shield side.

Signing Gaddafi's son at least made economic sense tho. Consider the sponsorships. :D

Sacking that Korean because he scored on Italy...slightly less so.

On topic: yes, I subscribe to the school of thought that "why can't an U14 play with U17." As for guys playing netball...well, go ahead, but they'd presumably be asked to wear the team uniform like everyone else on the team, which should force them out nicely. If men wanted to play netball, there'd be a league for it long ago.

Correct - and Victoria Svensson too - but the women turned him down because they knew they were not good enough and were being used as a gimmick. This is the guy who sacked his star Korean striker for scoring the goal that put Italy out of 2002 WC.

As I stated earlier, CAS teams aren't all that flash. You probably could beat them, doesn't mean you're playing a high level of cricket.

It's a fair cop.

For the record, I think people should be considered on terms of ability rather than gender designations when it comes to the best vs the best, but just to fan the flames a bit (and admittedly, my Heinleinian fantasies), if a girl was to play in any given first XI, what should be done in terms of the changerooms? There's a lot of camaderie and mateship established in that wet towel flicking after the showers. Would isolation from some of these activities be divisive?
