I know it's literally the job description of the marketing team but I am cringing quite a lot at the hyping up of how many goals Scotland have scored in the last 2 games as if it wasn't against Luxembourg
@okwonga.bsky.social @ryanhunn.bsky.social this feels very in stadio's bag 💚
Defender is good enough, is mostly so I don't accidentally end up with two keepers 😅
Do you know what position she was? This one is going to be current players but I am amassing quite a list of former players so might need to do a companion piece
I am a huge on pitch richarlison hater but he does seem sound off it, think he did a lot of COVID anti-disinformation stuff as well? Maybe Quinn is getting pushed back into defence 🤔
He was first on the list 😅
I am forever on the hunt for a Hibs kit with his name on the back (even though he was only ours for about 5 months)
Yeah he founded Common Goal I think, he's on the list of maybes in case I was forgetting something.
Weirdly struggling for attacking players so he better not retire before I finish 😅
Yes, love Nev. Maybe after this one I'll do a version with retired players (which would be much easier I reckon 😅)
I do now! He'd totally slipped my mind somehow.
Current team is Tullis-Joyce; Bellerin, X, Wubben-Moy, Casparij; Quinn, Irvine, X; X, Borja Iglesias, X
I will add them to the longlist for if I include retired players. Feel like there's so many names on the tip of my tongue that I have read/heard about but I just can't remember any of them now I need to 😅
I'm more looking for professional players usingt their platform, the Jackson Irvine, Lotte Wubben-Moys of the world.
(Correct me if I am being dumb bc I am unfamiliar with their work!)
Looking for some players (women or men) that are doing good things off the pitch/are all round good eggs for a new project. Whether it's community/charity work, trying to influence positive change in football, raising awareness of something, or whatever.
Anyone got any suggestions?
(Sidenote: loving illustrating again now I have more time even if I do still have the overwhelming feeling of "but is this good?" every time I finish something)

The art of defending.
Another more experimental piece. Been loving inkier, looser, illustrations recently and wanted to see what I could do in that style & learn a bit more how I could use some of those techniques in my more regular illustrations... Back to them next I think.
Genuinely shocked there's not more noise around Scotland trying to call up May Cruft. Unless I'm missing something really obvious I'm pretty sure she's eligible and has stepped into Kirsty Maclean's role at Rangers like it's nothing.
Armas saw Bethune has a special card on FIFA as a DM and did no more research
Martha Thomas getting dropped now that she's started scoring and playing well again is another in a long line of bonkers SWNT squad decisions
(aware that's at least partly on me and HYT for stopping but I think we can be forgiven after almost 9 years of entirely voluntary coverage during which none of the mainstream channels said so much as hello)
With the 90 Minute Cynic pulling back their women's coverage amidst a ban for criticism of the board, regular SWPL coverage is looking extremely sparse unless mainstream media change their tune
Can someone explain how Holmberg wasn't even booked for stopping a counter and then kneeing the player on the floor in the back of the head?
Thinking of the joy the newest Corinthians ultras (the children of Brentford/Richmond) must be feeling right now
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun silly movie but it's got nothing on National Treasure
Need to know what the thinking was behind Fountain of Youth, the actors in it suggest they were going for Indiana Jones but...
The midfield and full backs need to be so much braver here. Livingstone and Bowie are constantly hitting the wings and being outnumbered because no one is getting up in support
Typical Hibs, a million chances for the best striker in the league to take the lead missed and then a calamity of an own goal puts us one down
You laugh now, but when we do a triple announcement of her, Emslie, and Weir returning you won't be laughing 😅
Major problem with that plan, Kim Little will be dictating the tempo in green and white at Meadowbank 🫶
So long, and thanks for all the clicks 💚
Nearly a decade of providing (at times the only) dedicated coverage of the SWPL ending on a random Wednesday in January...
So proudly of all our achievements in the last 8 years, thankful to everyone that engaged, and more than a bit emotional reading all the messages from people sad we're going.
"it's the suez crisis... in a very real sense Trinity Rodman is Greenland"
Can put that right at the top of the most insane things I've ever read
