So with the Women's World Cup in full flow and Hope Powell a distant memory. Are there any players who could cut it in the fifth division of the men's game and if so would you want her at Town?

I'd have thought you would not be able to discriminate. However I'd bet there'd be loads of "pressure" for it not to happen.

I'm pretty sure there are FA rules about it, as schools often have mixed teams but at a certain age (9 I think) then it has to be girls or boys only.

I have wondered a lot about the England's woman's football team.... oooh matron!

But if they were placed in a league would they find their level in the Conference? Ryman's or below?

I reffed a lot of woman's premier league just as it was starting out and it was terrible, but these are the best in the world so I'm interested to see how it's progressed.

To be perfectly honest I couldn't name one woman footballer let alone say if they could cut it in Div 5.

Surely, under those rules men can play in the womens game as it discriminates. Feminists moan about equal rights but when it's the other way round...

There are some decent women players but they are a million miles away from the level of the men's professional game. The difference in physical attributes - pace, height, strength - just mean it's not a fair comparison. The best female player of all time would not get in to an average local semi-pro side. If that sounds like an insult then it means you haven't considered how good you have to be get in to an average semi-pro side!
