I haven't heard about this. Who is she? Or is this a Daily Star exclusive that Alex Ferguson used to be a woman?

Only when he played up front for St Johnstone, Roger.

No, I think this refers to the story of a young woman who outbid all-comers in an auction to manage a Blue Square League team for one match day. Don't worry - Dundee United are safe...for now.
I apologise, in advance.

You could just click the link in my original post, Roger!  ..0 (Clue: It's the exclamation marks.) I was too speechless to say anything.

You are being to clever for me I am to long in the tooth to not have it spelt out for me.

Ah, with you now.
Why not? I'm sure women are equally capable of saying " I can't fault the lads for effort---we just didn't get the breaks".

Roger - the shopping doesn't do itself!

I reckon it's a publicity stunt for the football club. Either that, or her husband's brought on a substitute to do the household duties.  ..0

Okay - so she comes home one Saturday, dead proud, because she's kept a clean sheet. Most women keep a whole bl**dy drawer of them once they've done the ironing!

You're very brave, Nige. I take it Lucy doesn't check in here these days?

I ran a kids' soccer club for seven years. 250 - 290 players; 30 - 40 coaches/assistants; usually around 18 teams. I ordered in their team shirts, made up the game schedules, did coaches clinics, sorted out the insurance (thus was the manager for insurance purposes with the ASA of all the teams), some years I even coached, painted the lines and put the photos in the paper.

All you need is a bit of a system really. Soccer managing is easier than spring cleaning, that's for sure.
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

All very impressive Diane, but unfortunately, as you called the game "soccer", you're disqualified.





Disqualified from what, I'm not sure yet. But you're disqualified nonetheless.

By the time she's decided which tracksuit to wear, the game'll be over!  ..0
