It would be funny if it wasn't so horribly sexist! With all the trouble the FA is in over the sex abuse scandal I think there needs to be a drastic overhaul of the body controlling football, possible ditching the FA all together, and setting up an untainted new one.

So the article includes a screenshot of the equipment recommendations. They are:

Paraphrased because I can't be arsed to retype it, just like the BBC reporter.

• Allow girls to wear casual clothes
• Use colourful bibs - make sure they are clean and smell nice
• Try futsal for beginners
• Have a selection of footballs of different weights and allow the girls to choose the one they want
• Provide sweat towels

All good advice, if you ask me and equally applicable to boys.

What I found strange is that the fuss was caused by a sports teacher who lives and works hundreds of miles from the authority who issued the guidance.

Apologies for the mess that I made of that, I am on hand held & will tidy up when I get the chance.

Couldn't the FA be in the forefront of returning pink to its position in this area of society at the start of the last century?
