Feel like I’m in a particularly lucid nightmare watching the preamble to this draw

Hanson / McGovern could be a great linkup. I feel cautiously optimistic about tonight. #swnt

Listening to BBC Sportsound podcast and they’re despairing of finding a decent candidate for Rangers now Stevie G’s dingyed them. I know it’ll never happen cos Rangers / patriarchy, but it’d be the funniest thing if they appointed a woman.

The WSL pillaging the SWPL (well, Rangers Women) is a great sign for Scottish football in terms of the quality developing here.

It also means that SOME OF US might not lose so many games at >4 goals.

Win win. Unless you’re a bear.

Nice of Sky Sports to let the new junior interns have a go on sound and vision mixing today for the Falkirk game. Lovely to feel I’m really getting value for money on this subscription.

As if Amazon have had Goodreads for 12 (TWELVE) years and have made their first ever update to it.

I mean, yeah, it’s the app icon but I genuinely thought they’d forgotten it existed. Thank goodness for @thestorygraph.com tbh

What a treat to watch SWNT playing with belief and pressing hard. Better times a-coming…?

Some day to play in red and white.

The sunshine is starting to quiet-quit on us now. I needed a jumper again today ☹️

I’m not asking for much tbh. Just a week or 3 with no responsibilities, some sunshine, snacks, fanta limòn, and my big ol’ pile of unread books. I really think it would fix me.

SWPL, where the away team’s no6 is a pupil at the school where the home team’s no10 teaches. Genuinely the best league in the world ❤️

Big Brian Graham on punditry for the women’s cup semi-final. Because being Thistle club captain, interim manager, top striker, and women’s team manager isn’t enough jobs. Guy must be eating 8000 calories a day to break even

*sigh* it’s hard work being a Scotland fan.

Now I’m going to cosplay as English and watch the Lionesses to get a small sense of how it feels to support a team that wins stuff 🥺

A (aged 12) just came and asked me to do her eyebrows. “sure, but full disclosure, I’ve had half a glass of wine.”

She looked at me, sighed, and downgraded her request to braiding her hair for bedtime.

You go girl, making those good IWD choices.
