If you reply to one of my tweets to tell me you don't like women's football you owe @SHARPScotland £5. Opinions my own.

A bit of hopecore to fight against the state that football/the world finds itself in in 2026..

11 players that are fighting against evil (I love a flair for the dramatic) and using their platforms to create positive change. Good eggs. Gamechangers.

Love the jingle on the Barcelona tannoy to announce a sub

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

No one is faking an injury there, no one is time wasting or asking for the game to be stopped, there's just some accidental contact and a rule that doesn't allow for common sense.

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

Feels like this player off for a minute rule really doesn't work. So often we're in situations like in this game where someone is getting kneed in the back of the head (accidentally) and then their team is disadvantaged by playing with 10.

It's Hibs - Celtic all over again

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

How to beat Barcelona: hope all their forwards endlessly miss big chances and pray you get a chance on the counter/from a set piece

@panjipana AI -ing videos of one of the most photographed city in the world. These people should not be allowed to vote

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@Alimcconnell76 By that logic McAneny (not been in the Celtic squad for last 3 games), Gregory (38 WSL2 minutes this season), and Adams (105 minutes all season, not managed more than a half of football in one game) wouldn't be in the squad either though I'd think?

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

Just realised we've dropped McAulay? What in the world is Andreatta doing?

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@Alimcconnell76 She started against Liverpool last night?

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@mcwfcflops Yeah I get you, that sucks big time (not that me saying that helps at all)

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@JamesKeep @SWPL Some is great but once you get into the 2000s it is just... Non existent.

Maybe need to draw a different cut off for the "SWPL" era but I hate cutting off history on a technicality of like who runs the league or whatever

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@mcwfcflops Could you play walking football? Could be a good way of getting that exercise/fun but obvs not as intense on the legs /Gen

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@MozzaRobertson 🐐🫡

Need my yearly fix of being entirely too stressed over recruitment and having the issue of being the best not full time team but not being able to go full time on FM 😅

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@JamesKeep @SWPL I would say it's extremely likely one of the two, although maybe one way back in the 2000s (that records are v much lost). Cuthbert was also playing and scoring at 15 I think.

I made a mission of trying to figure out the top SWPL scorer of all time and it was impossible

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

"Fastest perfect Premier League hat trick from kick off" is not a world record

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

Cole Palmer is officially a Guinness World Record holder 🥶📜

He has received his certificate for the fastest perfect Premier League hat-trick from kick-off, completed in just 29 minutes against Everton in April 2024 👏

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@mcwfcxjaderose2 Bonkers how young they are to have the impact they have

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

Not checked to know for sure but 3 SWPL players is the lowest number in the SWNT squad that I can remember.

Wonder what Berry, Austin, Jardine, Forrest, Husband (X2), Girasoli, Collins, D. Taylor, Ramsay, Sinclair, etc.. have to do

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

I do think the talents in SWPL leaving is a symptom of the NT ignoring SWPL form when it comes to call ups.

Obviously they'd have left eventually but I think they'd have stayed until better opportunities came than the ones they went to in some cases.

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

She's in great form so like at least has earned it (unlike others before) but Andreatta calling up a 27 year old switching nationality from English from WSL 2 is extremely on brand in a bad way...

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@GlasRang Oh yeah, duh 😅 Not sure why my eyes skipped over her each time.

Feels like we're constantly giving 25-27 year olds debuts instead of investing in our young players and then the squad never gets younger

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

@panjipana When I started my current job we had a team meet up at the office in Edinburgh and they took me there after and I ate it on the train home and it was unreal. Maybe I have besmirched the name of an institution

[Matt Dallinson @themattrd]

Choosing to picture this as people being really excited to go to like Snax Cafe on West Register St or Hermiston Gait

one day you’ll book that flight to edinburgh
