how do you get one of these qualifications?
Could I get one?
Would I have to go and live in a dormitory with ex-footballers to do this?
Could they stand my magnificence if I was a pro-licensed coach?
So many questions…

Go on the course.*
Good question.
No, although once you get to a certain point the courses are all residential as they are very intensive and quite lengthy.
Don't see why not, they can cope with mine.
*I'd start at the bottom if I were you!

Ta The residential bit might be a problem How much does it cost? &, I would have started at the bottom, it's just that being wonderful, I probably get to the top pretty quick Also, do you actually need to be physically fit to do this shit? They are all dressed in shorts and football boots which again, could be a slight issue for me (obviously I can wear shorts and football boots, using them in anger may be more "challenging")

Forget that, I looked it up on the FA website, thanks for the info LB but it would cost me rather a lot of money and I would need refresher courses every three years For the basic stuff and I would have to go and live somewhere else to do it anyway. Couple that with the fact that no one would employ me anyway to do this so I don't think I will bother. I will, of course, continue to argue The toss with you where I disagree

No one told me there would be children involved, how distasteful…

Is this course organised and taught by all those aresholes who don't know what they're doing? The coaches that run the courses are generally excellent. It's not run to an FA syllabus but to a UEFA one. Whilst the media are very quick to criticise the lack of qualified coaches compared to other European countries (the same media that's eating a doughnut and drinking from a Chief Wiggum mug whilst Guillem Balague does his A badge), and they are right, it doesn't alter the fact that there are some fantastic coaches in this country. You just need to look around to find them because they aren't always involved in the jobs/clubs that you'd expect them to be. This comes back to the problem of football being such an "old boys" network.* *If I told you that one of the most highly qualified coaches in the country - a chap that runs these courses - lives in Hampshire, less than 15 miles from both Fratton Park and St Marys and yet isn't employed by either club**, you'd have to wonder what on earth is going on in football. ** but was once employed by the Blue Few for a short period leading up to their second administration by only as a part time assistant to the much lesser qualified or able Andy Awford.

I'm pleased at the direction this thread has moved in.
I was horrified to think that one might need a qualification to write shite about sport. It would be the end of mongboards FFS!
