18/11/2025. The day McTominay, Robertson, and co. secured Scotland's return to the men's World Cup stage 💙

Haters fear that Matt is illustrating hands again

Miri Taylor this season: 247 league minutes (2.7 90s), 78% pass accuracy (10.8 per game), 3 interceptions, 0 key passes, 0 assists, 1 goal. Ellis Notley *in her last 3 games*: 80% pass accuracy (27.3 per game), 7 interceptions, 9 key passes, 4 assists, 2 goals. Which one does Andreatta call up 🙃

One of the favourite interviews I've ever done (even if it was a pain to transcribe all hour and a bit of it). Build the statue @ Hibernian FC

Need to know what Georgia Timms matchday routine is for big games because how is she so consistently such a nightmare in them?

Working on an article about the first go around of fixtures in SWPL that has involved looking at Celtic's big game record... Sorry Sadiku but it's a yikes from me

Presented without comment, the last 20 games of a selection of Scottish strikers...

Been a while since I posted any illustration work... Scottish women's football tarot: • The Devil (VAR Vs Lee Gibson) •Justice (Lorraine Watson, Kylie Cockburn, & Morag Pirie) •The Magician (Amy Gallacher) •The Tower (Siobhan Hunter)

Something v different from us this week ✍️

So not the point but it really annoys me that expansion teams use imagery including their rivals' kits

Elena Sadiku after the game yesterday saying she needs more signings in attack with Noonan absent. Celtic have a 25 player squad and the back up striker at all of her title rivals is an academy graduate. Hibs (Morrison), Glasgow City (Forrest), and Rangers (Berry)...

David Elliot was appointed as Thistle manager early in the summer, now 5 games in we have seen his vision for the team (in between the experiments). We've taken a look at the tactics so far as Thistle aim to return to the top six. Read all about it👇 howsyourtouch.substack.com/p/david-elli...

Cox conceding directly from a corner the weekend after making a mess of claiming a cross and dropping it on the opposition striker's foot, opposition managers are about to be spending the week before playing Aberdeen training exclusively how to score olimpicos

That is a ridiculous header from Kundananji, getting that power and directing it across the keeper to leave her flat footed (not to mention the timing of the run). Unbelievable.

All the transfers I know about have been announced, there's one I suspect has happened but it's SWPL and a 19 year old retired the other year so 🤷 So excited for Herron and Fitzgerald. Wouldn't be surprised if both force themselves into the starting eleven by the end of the season.

Believe there are as many as 5 signings still to be announced in SWPL with deadline day yesterday... Going to start a petition for a new rule that all transfer announcements have to be done by the transfer deadline 🫠

3 games into Crichton's tenure at Rangers have given us some insight into her tactical mind and how she plans to lead title hopefuls to glory. We've taken a look at the tactics so far, and what the Hearts game in particular revealed. Read all about it👇 howsyourtouch.substack.com/p/leanne-cri...

Obviously a loss, and only on from the bench, but Caley Gibb looked right at home in the UWCL by the way. Genuinely think we're not far from there being a conversation on whether Andreatta should be going all in on Lawton or whether she should get a chance at national team level.

Fortuna not underserved winners but the referee ignoring multiple players on yellow cards committing serious fouls, an obvious handball in the box, an elbow in the face... Hard not to feel you've been cheated

Can't legislate for your keeper rushing out to challenge for a high ball on the edge of the box for no reason. A huge, totally unforced, error.

Rachael Boyle deserves a statue that you can see from the top of Arthur's seat

This pitch would comfortably be the worst in SWPL. This is supposed to be the elite level and the ball can't roll further than 3 yards without getting stuck

Gaupset getting headlines (because seriously what a talent) but this game is really reinforcing how underrated Lauren Davidson is from an #SWNT perspective.

Can I say something controversial? I don't think UWCL qualifying mini-tournaments are that complicated

Okay, can you buy those Bay baseball jerseys? And if so, how much is shipping to Scotland 👀

A world record fee for someone you give a 2 year +1 contract to is almost as bonkers as a world record fee for Ovalle (as much as I like her)

🇲🇽 for the new fans and the already converted members of the parish, I wrote about the reported soon-to-be most expensive womens footballer ever. 🪄 who is Jacquie ‘La Maga’ Ovalle, and what does it mean for the NWSL and the Orlando Pride? www.thecutback.com/p/jacqueline...

For any Chelsea fans panicking about Katie Cox conceding 5 on her Aberdeen debut, I think watching the key moments back that it really was just evidence of how little football she has played at the senior level. Couple howlers, couple really top saves, that's why you send players on loan.

I like Ovalle but $2m is nuts

This Hearts performance... All the "we want to disrupt the title race" chat feels a long way away

In (very funny) SWPL news; SWPL title winning Head Coach Grant Scott has been demoted (promoted?) to "Team Manager" and his former assistants, Joelle Murray & Stewart Hall, have been promoted to joint Head Coaches because Scott doesn't have his UEFA A license which is a requirement for the UWCL.

I have interviewed 20 players and written ~15,000 words about the SWPL in the last week 🫡

If someone can explain to me the logic of Rangers playing largely an academy team in Crichton's first match in charge, and their last friendly before the season kicks off (bizarrely 9 days before, and their only game open to fans midday during the week), that'd be fab

Carabali for no reason other than violence

Jacksonville have officially declared August 2nd as Hibernian FC Women Day and I think that's just neat 📸 Hibernian on X

Spain really went 1-0 up and just mentally went home. Anyone that has read the million articles about how they've the best midfield in world football must be Extremely confused

I have a lot of English WoSo media pals, but on the other hand did you know that Mariona was subbed off after failing to score against Scotland the last time we played Spain at a major tournament (Scotland 1-0 winners)? Or that football was actually invented in Scotland? Makes you think.

Hashtag Free Emma Watson

Tried out using footnotes in this for commentary rather than my usual hundred brackets, would love to know if people find that makes the reading experience better/worse/the same

This has been such a one sided referee performance that new swear words are being created in Italy as we speak

Need Hannah Jordan to pop off with some crazy celebrations so I can call her the Leith LaBonta

When the penalty shootout ends 1-0 what then?
