31.10.2025 13:04 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0What's most hilarious to me about this ridiculous self-own is that she thinks she's being all coy and secretive about which games she used it for, like a team set up in a back 5 isn't something we can see with our eyes

@girlsontheball.bsky.social do you have any intel on Heather Payne and why she's not in the Ireland squad tonight? From a concerned Leicester fan. ๐
28.10.2025 19:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Never really liked ABJ out wide. She's good cutting in but quality isn't there on the crosses. Much prefer her through the centre.
28.10.2025 19:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Props to Sarina for trying to style this Le Tissier narrative out by starting her at RB in the last game then moving her to CB when Bronze came on, then starting her at CB in this game as if she's landed on this organically ๐
28.10.2025 17:50 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yup. Lots of fans not happy as they can't bring their kids who play football on a Sunday morning. Impacting our attendances which were on the up towards the end of last season.

She's still in camp, trained with the other goalkeepers, just wasn't doing any catching or diving!

23.10.2025 16:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I just can't believe someone would lack self awareness to that extent. Mind. Your. Business.
20.10.2025 17:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I told her we had decided we were no longer moving but when we were it was nothing to do with who had moved in next door. I lost my mom earlier this year (which she knew) so felt a change of scenery would be nice.
20.10.2025 17:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0She then proceeds to interrogate me about why we're leaving, do we know if the woman next door is "Ofsted inspected" because she's "running a nursery" (she's a childminder). Do we know about the guy buying up all the property? Isn't a shame that house wasn't sold to a nice family (read: white)?
20.10.2025 17:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0A woman who I see and chat to exclusively on dog walks and is a notorious gossip just came and knocked the door while I was cooking tea. Had a face like she was about to tell me someone had died. Thought something and happened to our cat.
20.10.2025 17:41 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0We've been hit and miss in the cup last couple of seasons, if nothing else should hopefully continue to boost the confidence and serve to sharpen up Rantala and Mouchon as they work their way back.
19.10.2025 15:52 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Jesus, PCL is rare in football. It's the ligament at the back of your knee so takes some force to rupture it. My husband doesn't have a PCL in this right knee because he got run over by a truck. Can't believe she carried on for 10 minutes after it happened.
