Gibraltar being an international football team is a joke. I agree from where we are at this time. But I'm sure it's helping Jake and others develop and become better players for it. |

Scotland being an international football team is a joke. Edited for clarity There's an argument for that too but at least the Home Nations have history on their side. Gibraltar exist (as a football team) purely to boost opposition goal differences. Steven Fletcher has an international hat trick now; that can't be right! |

even if its not aimed at footballing goals

If Gosling can not get into the Gibraltar side, does that make Rovers worse than Gibraltar?

Its more comedy than history. Tragedy, perhaps. Certainly not drama. |

That was just a bit of mischief, but I've often mused on which international sides Rovers could beat and also at what level of male football the England Women team could play. |

I watch a lot of women's football and the physicality would be the issue not technical skill. Players like Lloyd, Kawasumi, Little & Rapinoe could all play in League One teams in attacking roles (wings or as smaller strikers) in my opinion. A fair few players in defensive and midfield roles would struggle however. I think Lucy Bronze would make a decent Conference leftback but would stuggle higher up. |

If they couldn't handle the physicality how would they be able to play in L1? |

You can have non-physical players in certain roles. f**k me, if Alvin Bubb can play in League 2 they can play in League 1. |

. . . and the other part is surely to get up the nose of Spain, who have reacted so badly to the formation of Gibraltar's national team that they have refused permission for their home fixtures to be played in Spain. Instead they play their home games in Portugal. Returning to purely football matters, I was surprised that Jake Gosling wasn't given a run-out last night. After all he is their all-time top scorer, but with 12 subs to choose from their manager must have been spoiled for choice. |

And gutless UEFA agreed to manipulate the draw so that Gibraltar and Spain weren't drawn in the same group. UEFA usually reserve this manipulation for countries engaged in armed conflict. Hope Platini goes to jail with Blatter. |
