On 5 December 1921, the FA met at its headquarters in London and announced a ban on the women’s game from being played at the professional grounds and pitches of clubs affiliated to the FA, stating “the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and not to be encouraged.”

Apart from this board’s posters who still live in the 1920s, I hope you’re all going to vote for one of our own, England goalkeeper Mary Earps from West Bridgford, the odds-on favourite in this year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

I dont live in the 1920's, far from it, I find the women's football boring and very, very sub mediocre at best with very little talent to ease the pain, there are exceptions that probably happen, but it is my view that the womens game is scurring around looking for a place that it can call home,the powers that be are doing there damnest to make it watchable by throwing millions upon millions of pounds to support their "invention", its just not working though.
