(aware that's at least partly on me and HYT for stopping but I think we can be forgiven after almost 9 years of entirely voluntary coverage during which none of the mainstream channels said so much as hello)

With the 90 Minute Cynic pulling back their women's coverage amidst a ban for criticism of the board, regular SWPL coverage is looking extremely sparse unless mainstream media change their tune

Can someone explain how Holmberg wasn't even booked for stopping a counter and then kneeing the player on the floor in the back of the head?

Thinking of the joy the newest Corinthians ultras (the children of Brentford/Richmond) must be feeling right now

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun silly movie but it's got nothing on National Treasure

Need to know what the thinking was behind Fountain of Youth, the actors in it suggest they were going for Indiana Jones but...

The midfield and full backs need to be so much braver here. Livingstone and Bowie are constantly hitting the wings and being outnumbered because no one is getting up in support

Typical Hibs, a million chances for the best striker in the league to take the lead missed and then a calamity of an own goal puts us one down

You laugh now, but when we do a triple announcement of her, Emslie, and Weir returning you won't be laughing πŸ˜…

Major problem with that plan, Kim Little will be dictating the tempo in green and white at Meadowbank 🫢

Nearly a decade of providing (at times the only) dedicated coverage of the SWPL ending on a random Wednesday in January...

So proudly of all our achievements in the last 8 years, thankful to everyone that engaged, and more than a bit emotional reading all the messages from people sad we're going.

"it's the suez crisis... in a very real sense Trinity Rodman is Greenland"

Can put that right at the top of the most insane things I've ever read

If you see this, post your woso (or futfem) favorite.

(Find it v amusing that all the others are international superstars and mine is a RB that used to be a #10 that plays in the SWPL but)

If the new Hibs manager had been anyone not named Joelle Murray it would have been absolutely nuts to be fair, really glad she has gotten the opportunity (and that there is confirmation that Stewart Hall is remaining as assistant)

Some thoughts on today's news.

I would like to know when the parties involved knew it was happening given yesterday's performance (and decision to drop Bowie, sub off Adams, etc) but that's maybe me just being in the anger stage of grief...

Not to beat that drum again but, two of the three goals Aberdeen conceded yesterday against Rangers came from losing the ball while playing out from the back.

If the gap is to close there needs to be a bit of a reckoning over style over substance I think.

Well, maybe not this morning... But also those fans may be happy with news that seems to be coming

Stopped the game with Hibs on the counter because a Celtic player was hit with the ball. This is ridiculous.

A corner has just been reversed to a drop ball because Rodgers went down injured off the ball... I am at an absolute loss with these officials.

Celtic being gifted a penalty by the referee for Christmas. The day we get serious officials in the SWPL is the day the world knows peace.

🎢 The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, since we've nowhere else to go, gies a goal, gies a goal, gies a goal 🎢

17 minutes in and Grant Scott could justifably make a triple sub... That's how bad this has been

21.12.2025 13:22 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

And then Celtic scored directly from kick off. What in the world...

Would have been very tempted to get Gibb on the right wing and push Livingstone/Morrison inside for this one if I was Grant Scott. Shame it isn't a few weeks on in her recovery because I think this kind of game would be perfect for Jordan in the 10 too.

Why did Simons go for the standing leg that was nowhere near the ball, what a bizarre choice

On the Celtic side:
β€’ McAneny is in full training and available after sitting out the trip to Aberdeen.
β€’ Westin is also in training although it's unclear if she's ready to make consecutive appearances for the first time since September.

Some injury news ahead of Hibs - Celtic tomorrow:
β€’ Both Fitzgerald and Jordan have been in training this week, although I understand that Fitzgerald is more likely to be involved than Jordan at this stage.
β€’ Taylor, Reilly, and McGovern are all unlikely to feature.

Tweeted about Iain Stirling doing a "greatest moment for Scotland at a world cup" bit that disregards the SSNT qualifying in 2019 being disrespectful and now my mentions over there are full of folk calling me gay... The world is doing great, progress, etc... πŸ«₯
