Commentators Like Being At The Ground
Why do we need commentators at the ground you ask??? TO AVOID EVERYONE AT HOME WATCHING FOR 15 MINUTES BELIEVING THE SCORE IS 1-0 WHEN THE GOAL WAS DISALLOWED.
— Molly Appleton (@mollyappleton93) March 10, 2024
Commentators not at the games. Social media persons not at the games. No one knowing the correct score or what’s happening for multiple matches lol. #aleaguewomens #alw

What’s Happening At Canberra United??
This deserves more attention than it’s getting. Basically, women’s futures are once again being held hostage by the self interests of men. Given the absolute shit show this is, it doesn’t bode well for the future even if a men’s team comes in. https://t.co/bTPZPu9Jen
— Simon Reus (@ReusSimon) March 10, 2024
To see Canberra United, a club with such a proud (in more ways than one) history, a club where the female players aren’t overshadowed by men, go under largely because of failings related to a potential mens team, would just be such an awful look.

“Let’s just hope that we’re staying around … fingers crossed we can get a little bit more information behind what’s happening with Canberra United.”
If the APL allows Canberra United of all clubs to go Undef right after the 2023 WCup, it will be an everlasting shame https://t.co/STR9p0Di2A

If you can type it, say it without censoring it then maybe it’s not a slur ♀️

Apparently Morris has been injured? Once again, fans are only advised once the player “returns”. #CBRvWSW

Eric – Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Brianna Edwards had some pertinent things to say in this thread
IWD is a day where our voices for equality should be louder than ever.
We must continue to be noisy in the face of patriarchy that still exists, maybe not in our worlds but it in the world around us. We must tirelessly push for equality for all people who identify as women…
