Liz Ward and Ian King have already written some thoughtful things on what we’ve seen over the last week regarding Rainbow Laces and the Premier League but I’m going to throw in some thoughts because, I obviously speak for the entire queer community…

Ahhh that's Jody Burnip, left back.

And actually, one of them is in my profile's banner pic, along with the Women's FA Cup trophy 🏆 ahead of our QF against Charlton Athletic (who went on to win that season).
Here's another from the 2005 FA Women's Awards, where we picked up the Fair Play Award. We ALL look a lot younger! 😆

As ever, it was an absolute honour to be part of the Barclays WSL Hall of Fame Selection Panel. Congratulations to 2024's inductees: Alex Scott MBE, Gilly Flaherty, Rebecca Welch and Steph Houghton MBE. Four women who've made outstanding contributions to the women's game both on and off the field.

Spine Race fact #15 (I think)

The Langdon Beck checkpoint has their korma game on point! Now known as the Teesdale Tandoori, it is staffed by the most awesome team of experienced spine gurus

Super new sign conceived & modelled by one of the ruddy awesome managers @jenoneill.bsky.social

Dragging visiting friends out on your favourite local trails 🥰

Thanks!
And surely, is only a matter of time… ⏳😵‍💫

Yes please 🙏🏻

Oooh I’ll DM him 👏🏻 Is that the best way forward?
I’ve had previous models of this shoe disintegrate in the uppers in the same way. 🤔
My pledge is not to buy more kit unless I absolutely require it (and can’t borrow it). 👍🏻

Have a great adventure!

👀

That’s amazing! 👏🏻
I think running with a mate last night, who mentioned his pledge and then that I was already well ahead of others (don’t drive, veggie etc), was the nudge I needed. Didn’t take much to tip me over but still... I was glad he did. And I’m so glad you followed.🥰💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🌍❤️

I think I’m me. How can I be sure?

Signed up to @thegreenrunners.bsky.social today. Been faffing about it for months 🙄 Didn’t think I was worthy enough or what my pledge would be. I know. 😵‍💫 Farking stupid. Anyway, it feels good. 👍🏻 I’ll share more later. All timely too ‘cos my fave trainers need repatching. #pairups #fingersnottoes

Facey B just flagged that it's the anniversary of having my face reflected on a shiny award while an Olympic Gold Medalist did a pirate impression at an emerging England #Lionesses star. 😁

Bit UKish, sorry. But I shall speak them into the BlueSky for you. 😌

April: Northern Traverse (300k)
July: Lakeland 100 (160k)

With the LAW (Lady Anne Way) 75 (120k) as a fun, 50th birthday frolick, in Feb 😁

Have tweaked my back, in a typically middle-aged fashion. Was unsure on the sense of heading out for a a hilly 10k headtorch run with a pal. It was jeffing glorious up here in Upper Weardale. Calm, cool, quiet and fabulous company. My ❤️ is happy!

I started playing for Sunderland as a 14/15yr old in 89/90. There'd been no teams to play for before that, aside from a handful of friendlies my primary school let me play in, when I was 11. I just had to watch my mates play matches before we could have a kick about again. My story is so common.

A spot of nostalgia... I started at On the Ball women's footie mag in 1998. As well as editing OtB I was also a columnist for The Times newspaper (Fri + Mon) and provided weekly round-ups, fixtures, results & tables for Teletext for a few yrs too.

Some UK sunrises 🌅 that have filled me with joy in recent years.
Seems fitting to kick off this new, more positive era. Good morning & 👋🏻 to all good souls on BlueSky. 🥰
