Okay, I'll give JCA a pass then.

Feel like Duran would have made more sense tbh but it's maybe a coin flip between the two options in an emergency

Surely Carter would have been the option then? Or do Gotham not have a 3rd CB?

It is 2026 and coaches still don't understand that wingers are not full backs

Why am I watching Midge Purce as a right back may I ask?

Yeah that was my guess but I swear there were some on Prime last season? Maybe I'm thinking of something else (or I "flew" to the states to watch a game on Prime)

Crazy for TNT to take the opener at midnight and not the 4:30pm KO on Saturday

Another year of wondering who has the NWSL rights in the UK & wishing there was an NWSL+ Xbox app somi could watch on my TV

Arsenal's penalty... Game's gone

This is a good point, especially cos half the games are on at 5am for me so I will be watching whatever random game is on at a reasonable time 😅

Interesting, I will have to check them out and also at some point pick a team 🤔

I'll have to check it out, When the Game was Ours is definitely going on my to read list

Jack Reyner

Luka Doncic

Next thought, can we get a Doncic dramatised documentsry with Jack Reynor as Doncic?

Early thoughts, TV shows make it look a lot faster and like a lot more shots go in

Watching Winning Time and have decided to get into basketball, what do I need to know? (Other than fuck Boston)

Women's football needs to do so much better at incorporating fan led resources and culture instead of turning them away.

Panini and FPL (ISM) were both unlicensed, skirting copyright laws, once. Instead of chasing the established parties, execs need to be looking to build new.

Someone get Felix Passlack to put in a good word, he'll love Edinburgh

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.
