Not content with leaving a remarkable legacy on the field, make sure you give lyds her flowers for her advocacy and leadership in the union space, the remarkable example she’s set for Indigenous kids, her unreal goalkeeping ability, AND just being a rock solid person ✊✊ https://t.co/UZidPiQ7ym

looks like a fun marketing opportunity, but honestly having no Sarina Bolden or Morgan Aquino is a real shame. this would have been fantastic reward for fabulous seasons. I wonder whether the overlap with Young Matildas camp affected more U20 call-ups as well. https://t.co/94AGoyDONW

I’ll say that her name not being in the squad makes me want to loudly “boooooooooo”
And that it certainly dampens my…spirits?

Women athletes are two to six times more likely than men to sustain an ACL injury while training or playing their sport: a number that has not improved despite the rapid professionalisation of women’s football in recent years.

Don’t Date Your Players
You fundamentally have not taken any accountability no matter how many times you say “it’s my fault” if you think that just because you kept a club from being relegated it means you shouldn’t face consequences for having a relationship with a player in your team. https://t.co/rEwhIQdPoV pic.twitter.com/BGitf43Tf0

Plenty will say what they will about the Kirk interview, but seeing a player’s father having to take to Twitter to stop speculation that his daughter is in a relationship with her [former] coach is particularly grim, and as he says, it’s not fair on the innocent parties https://t.co/Ds2yxREY6P

The lowest that an ALW player can be paid is around $16-26k for the 6 month season, depending on status
Players like Fraser & who aren’t yet established internationals are being bought on potential.
An owner saying “there’s no mechanism for me to benefit from that” is wrong

FA Cup Final

Charli Grant on as Spurs’ fifth sub of the day and @marissalordanic‘s 11k mile trip from Melbourne to London to see a Tilly at Wembley isn’t for nought. Love to see a legend thrive.

This is an awesome way to show that you don’t, as new owners, view your women’s team as important compared to your men.
Ignoring a potential historic trophy for the women for a run-of-the-mill men’s league game. https://t.co/J8jEXy3Bog— Paul Wheeler (@paulwradio) May 12, 2024
