But would people still prefer to watch women playing it over men or would there be an equal place for both like there is for tennis for example?

I think they'd look silly in the skirts, but that might just be me.

I say this because the Canterbury mens team are now 2-1 up in matches played against the tactics (some of you may have seen them…

Which reminds me, there was a documentary made in the 70s where the cameras followed George Best for a whole Manchester United game. ... Fascinating stuff.

Spike Lee is currently making a similar thing but for Kobe Bryant: Kobe Doin' Work

Fascinating stuff.

Indeed. Who knew Cat Stevens played for Man U?!

I find I am fascinated by how some players play, and I like watching them off the ball as much as when they have the ball. I do the same thing watching basketball. And sometimes rugby, though that tends to be for a different reason.

While shooting the photographs I…

(If one can make the internet explode from overuse of sarcasm, I want to be the first to know.)

Between the two of us, we are giving it a good go.

On standing and stopping – sure, if you're watching one player but follow the ball and do those games fly...
