Uncovering the history of Scottish women's football one ignored team at a time. Seeking all the women who played for SWNT 1972 - 1997 to award them their cap.

@GaryJamesWriter @ManCity Usually I agree with everything you write about women's football but I really can not support this message - good luck to @ChelseaFCW 🤣

RIP to the Man with the Golden Arm.

James Harrison gave blood 1,173 times, saving the lives of 2.4 million Australian babies after it was found that his plasma had a rare antibody that could stop Rh- pregnant women's blood from attacking their Rh+ babies. https://t.co/RITU4gbakZ

For six weeks we’ve been delivering life-saving supplies to families & we still have medicine, tents and hygiene kits to go. We need Israeli authorities to allow unimpeded access. "We cannot take all hope away again from children in Gaza. They deserve more," Ahmad Alhendawi @AhmadAlhendawi

Dear @englandcricket Why are you playing the Afghanistan men's team when in their country women are tortured and persecuted by the Taliban?
Where is your morality? Where are your ethics?

“There was a major prison breakout (in Goma) of 4,000 escaped prisoners. A few hundred women were also in that prison. They were all raped and then they set fire to the women’s wing. They (the women) all died afterwards.” 💔

Oh to have seen them: Marianne Faithful’s Irina, Glenda Jackson’s Masha and Avril Elgar’s Olga in Chekhov’s Three Sisters @royalcourt April 1967.
And now all three are gone.
Marianne Faithful RIP.

@NETrunkRoads Great news - another week of no sleep due the number of cars speeding past our house all through the night. Yes told police about speeding & not interested much like your customer services sending a meaningless email and not actually giving a toss about the impact on residents.

[Karen Fraser @KJ61]

@GaryJamesWriter @ManCity 😟😒 - apparently this face is 'unamused' - think that about sums it up!😭

[Karen Fraser @KJ61]

@AlanCamSport @SWPL Exactly what I thought of when I saw the venue. Expressing a view that would not have been out of place in reports of women's football a 120 years earlier & probably reflecting what much of the men's football community thought - otherwise he wouldn't have said it so publicly.

[Karen Fraser @KJ61]

Looking forward to this having worked on it with @FionaSkillen and grazie to the IIC for the mention in such illustrious company.

We deserve better reporting on men's violence against women and girls.

Solidarity with Carol, Louise and Hannah Hunt's loved ones.

The Taliban decreed women can no longer train in midwifery, or indeed any healthcare

Women are forbidden from seeking treatment from a man

Women will die

But @englandcricket captain @josbuttler says “The players haven't really worried too much about it”
