Started a substack about my rare-cancer experiences. There will be some serious entries and some funnier ones - I'll put a warning in the opening paragraph for any that could be too triggering. Includes lots of references to 🐕 and 🐈 and ⚽. #sarcoma open.substack.com/pub/catmac…

I find it fascinating that every fan base seems to have one player they target / scapegoat for poor performances or results. United fans with Ella Toone, Arsenal Leah Williamson, Chelsea Wieke Kaptein / Lucy Bronze. Funny how such well regarded players suddenly become crap.

Alex Greenwood joins Lauren James on the Lionesses' injury list.
Andrée Jeglertz provides a fitness update on Alex Greenwood and Anna Moorhouse ⤵️ “Both of them are not great. They will be out for a while. Alex’s is an ankle injury. She got a knock a couple of days ago [in training]. Unfortunately, she’ll be out until the international break.”

Former Paris Saint-Germain player Aminata Diallo is to stand trial at the Versailles Criminal Court five years after an attack on her then team-mate Kheira Hamraoui. Diallo, 31, has been charged with complicity in aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy. In a court order, seen by The Athletic, an investigating judge has now concluded there is sufficient evidence that Diallo instigated the attack on Hamraoui and should appear in court to decide if she is innocent or guilty. A date for the hearing has not yet been set. More from @charlotteharpur 🔗 nyti.ms/4iuo4K1

Rail passengers watching noisy reels, playing music or talking loudly on their phones is the kind of thing that gives people a sense of the enshittification of everything. It's like litter, leaving dogshit or shoplifting, so easy to stop , with penalties and enforcement. It's all a choice.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 pleased to see this. Interested particularly in how to involve rural communities and ensure girls have options that are accessible.
Every woman and girl in Scotland who wants to be involved in football should have the opportunity to do so. I want Scotland to become a leading nation for women's football, which is why we’re investing and working with partners on Project 35.

You’ll have heard by now that women’s club football in Europe has an attendance crisis. But The Cutback’s analysis of attendances over the start of the season across the past three campaigns shows that strong average attendance numbers are highly dependent on ‘big match’ crowds, while median attendances have remained relatively stable.

It really shouldn’t have taken until the 58th minute to kick us into gear but this is all we’ve been asking to see. Energy, fight, passion. A team playing for each other. Confidence we need. A miles better second half felt like we were watching Manchester United again🇾🇪 #MUFC
