Of Women And Football

This isn’t about Andy Gray and Richard Keys making a few harmless comments, although this post is indeed inspired by the storm-in-a-B-cup controversy about whether all linesmen are blind, stupid and unfit or whether women have the edge.

Turn those comments around, by the way, and swap the sexes. Nobody would have noticed anything.

Anyway….to the point. They do things different overseas. In Poland, and via the unmissable Austrian Times ,we heard yesterday that ex-Playboy model Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska has just become director of Polish football club Warta Poznan.

You’ve got to admit that as directors of football clubs go she’s fitter than Delia Smith.

Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska, who has worked as a model for men’s magazines such as Playboy and CKM, says she would like to restore the club to the top-flight Ektraklasa, which it has not played matches in since the mid-1990s.

“I want the club to shine again. I believe that the team will play impressively and will attract more fans to the stadium,” Lukomska-Pyzalska said.

“I used to work in a building company, which I think was also operated as football clubs should be and that means ruling with an iron fist. I will make sure that there is order and discipline at the club,” promised the former model.

Fighting words there, although they display absolutely no insight into the world of football. Which makes her a potential England manager. Does she know the offside rule? We may never know. Or care.

The excellent Big Dollop has accused this blog in the past of posting stories angled to exploit tenuously related pictures of beautiful women. This is completely untrue (see examples attached). And for a much closer look at her *cough* credentials this is utterly NSFW.
