Clattenburg's still filming Gladiators (the final is today).
Great for Abi and her team to be given this.

Earrings, chains, watches, no shin pads.- against Laws of the
game.
Mixed teams - against FA rules
But it’s for charity so ignored.

It's raised £15 million already tonight. Would you rather they
strictly apply the laws and don't get players to turn up?

Great for charity and awesome event overall.
Just would like to see the basics adhered to.

It can't even be officially sanctioned, mixed sex football isn't
allowed in England above U16 age. The FA / PGMOL will have
given Abi and her team permission to referee the game, but it is
far from an official game, she could have asked players to
remove jewellery and not been able to do much if they'd refused.
Can you even begin to imagine the backlash if the game had been
delayed, players not been allowed to play, or even been
abandoned altogether, because a referee was insisting all
jewellery was removed? It would have been horrendous, this is a
£20 million football game with all of it going to charity. An
element of realism and pragmatism is needed here.

Does it really matter about the 'basics' on this case - it was a
good fun 'occasion' to watch played in a good spirit - it was a
pleasure to watch a match without any 'histonics,cheating etc -
well done to all involved

Can you even begin to imagine the backlash against the referee
and the subsequent court case if one of the famouses on the
pitch had been blinded by a piece of jewellery accidentally
making contact with them?

Just to clarify a point. Mixed sex teams up to U18 level has
been sanctions by the FA since the 2015-16 season. Ellie Hilton
from Croston FC became the the first female to play in an
organised league (Lancashire Sunday League) where she played
reguarly for her club for two seasons.
