Football fan, groundhopper, and poster of random things. Some of my views might be yours.
Look, I'm not saying they're not taking Hamilton incredibly seriously, but this is a good game for Hearts to do some squad rotation.

I get the need to manage her return but Hunter on the bench, after what we saw in last week's encounter, is absolute madness to me.

This might be the worst game of football I've ever been to. And I went to a league one match without a single shot on goal.

The Scotland National Team announced June friendlies for the men way back in January but no fixtures announced for the women with less than a month to go before the international window.
Inequality takes many forms, this is one of them.
And they wonder why attendances aren't growing...

Hearts Women moved up to fourth in the SWPL ahead of a big cup clash with Hibs.
Two of Eva Olid's three excellent striking options combined to devastating effect in the first half.
Goalkeeper Rachel Johnstone came up with a big second-half moment.

A potent strike partnership is forming for Hearts Women.
It was on show in the 5-1 win over Aberdeen on Sunday and offers a huge positive ahead of tougher tests.

Becky Langley was great servant for Newcastle United over last six years, and it's important to recognise that, but anyone who watched the performances this season could see the writing on the wall. Performances were poor, no strategy, formation didn't suit the players. Club needed a change. #NUFC

In Glasgow for the Scotland match today (will catch up on the Hearts game via YouTube, bare with me) so of course I'm going to go watch Glasgow City v Partick Thistle first.
A nice North Glasgow derby to start the day.

Been rewatching the Newcastle United women's game and I'm sorry to say this but I just don't think Becky Langley is a very good coach. Just look at the difference between Langley and Merricks, when Birmingham already 4-1 up. No tactics, no leadership. She is failing #NUFC

I may be biased here but if Georgia is still the player she was right before her injury, I think she'd be a big upgrade on Jenna Clark and Sophie Howard in the Scotland back line.
Hearts Women followed up their win over Hibs by beating Motherwell 3-0.
🔘 Assured performance
🔘 Welcome return after 500 days
🔘 Fluid formation
🔘 Settled XI
🔘 Tougher test coming up
