Jenna Slattery is posting some impressive figures as a super sub for Heart of Midlothian this season. She's averaging a goal every 63 minutes and a goal or assist every 50.25 minutes. Lots for Hearts fans to be excited about with the 20-year-old Irish midfielder. #HMFC

Becky Langley deserves a chance to turn things around at Newcastle United Women, but the clock is definitely ticking now. My latest piece following another dreadful performance from #NUFC in the #WSL2 howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/newcastle-...

Just a reminder that France and Saudi Arabia already tabled the New York declaration back in July, which offered credible path to a two state solution and shut Hamas out of the picture. The US vetoed it, will be interesting to see what their plan involves www.arabnews.com/node/2609938...

I know I said the League Cup doesn't matter but Becky Langley played pretty much a full strength 11 against newly promoted Nottingham Forest tonight and Newcastle United Women still lost. Langley has to go. #NUFC

Fair play to the Scottish FA, it took them a while but they've lined up some good test matches here for the October window. Scotland v Switzerland in Dunfermline should be fun. #SWNT www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/swnt-to...

Been rewatching the Newcastle United women's game and I'm sorry to say this but I just don't think Becky Langley is a very good coach. Just look at the difference between Langley and Merricks, when Birmingham already 4-1 up. No tactics, no leadership. She is failing #NUFC

Huge game for Hearts today. They have never beaten Glasgow City. A win (or even a draw) today would be a huge statement! #HMFC You can watch the game live via BBC Sports website or iPlayer.

If Newcastle United Women want to get promoted they need to win games like this. Get up to speed on today's opponents ahead of the #WSL2 clash with Birmingham City. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/preview-bi...

With Su Cumming confirming her departure from Newcastle United women's team, we have a look at what legacy she's leaving behind. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/cumming-an...

I may be biased here but if Georgia is still the player she was right before her injury, I think she'd be a big upgrade on Jenna Clark and Sophie Howard in the Scotland back line.

Hearts Women followed up their win over Hibs by beating Motherwell 3-0. 🔘 Assured performance 🔘 Welcome return after 500 days 🔘 Fluid formation 🔘 Settled XI 🔘 Tougher test coming up @thejameskeep.bsky.social ✍️

It wasn't a good performance from Newcastle United Women in the #WSL2 yesterday. Here's why it didn't click and what they need to fix. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/match-repo...

Preview for Newcastle United's first home #WSL2 game of the season, against struggling Sheffield United. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/preview-ne...

England have now announced their "European Champions homecoming series" with some great looking games across the North, the Midlands, the South, and one at Wembley. Meanwhile, here's what the Scottish FA currently have lined up for the rest of the year... 😕

Emma Thomson's loan to Motherwell has been officially ended as Carolina Vilão's injury issue persists. Was officially announced by Motherwell just now but Emma was already back in the Hearts squad and sat on the bench for Sunday's win over Hibernian. #HMFC

It's not looking good for Hibernian and their chances of progressing. They were unlucky to draw the Italian runners up. Miles apart in terms of quality and it shows.

BBC ALBA has stepped up to show the home UEFA Europa Cup qualifiers for the two Scottish teams. They have Glasgow City v Athlone Town tonight and Hibernian v Inter Milan next Wednesday. Scottish coefficient fans unite!

Brodie Greenwood has left Hearts. A shame but she's only had 54 minutes so far this season and had less than 300 last season before being shipped off to Motherwell. Clearly not in Olid's plans but still just 19, so it's important for her own development that she go and play regular football. #HMFC

People in the north. Remember this. If it doesn't benefit them in the South they couldn't care less about you. They're just Tories wrapped in a slightly different colour. #TheNorthRemembers www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Now that the Scotland national team's men's fixtures are done let's turn our attention to the women. Next women's international window starts on October 20th. One of only two windows for Melissa Andreatta before World Cup qualifying begins. Here's who the women currently have lined up to play...

I'll probably have more thoughts on the Edinburgh derby and the Toon's season opener tomorrow but having done a half Marathon this morning then all the match reports I would now quite like to go to bed.

A near perfect start for Newcastle United as they begin their promotion push. Everyone played well but Gregory, Murphy, and Gautrat were the stand outs for me. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/nottingham...

Heart of Midlothian Women claimed bragging rights in the first Edinburgh derby with a deserved 2-0 win at Tynecastle Park | @thejameskeep.bsky.social ♦️ Full 90 performance ♦️ Big impact off the bench ♦️ Good start to the season ♦️ Tynecastle effect

Finally, in the final part of the season preview series, here's a look at all of Newcastle United women's opponents in the #WSL2 this season. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/season-pre...

Also have a piece here on how Newcastle United's womens team might best deploy the new signings and what their best starting line-ups might look like. #NUFC howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/wsl2-seaso...

Season starts on Sunday for Newcastle United's women's team. Here's an article analysing all* the signings they've made this season and where they might fit in. Every single one of them feels like a good upgrade at this point! howaythelassesnufc.substack.com/p/wsl-2-seas...

🔁 Line-up changes ⚽ New striker off the mark ©️ Captaincy intrigue 😬 Not as easy as expected 👀 Up next How Hearts Women picked up first win of the season ahead of derby | @thejameskeep.bsky.social

The Capital Cup van feels like one of those things we'll tell our grandkids about and they'll think we're mad.

Eva Olid says she's still waiting for a full 90-minute performance from Hearts. So are we, but a good chunk of the blame lies with the head coach in the opening two games.

Ypema dropped to the bench. I'm not sad about it. Absolute liability. #HMFC

Ashamed to say it has only just crossed my mind that the 'Jam tarts' nickname may not be entirely appropriate for Hearts' womens team 😅😨 Can we think of any APPROPRIATE alternatives? #Hearts #HMFC

Nice to see that Beth Rennie has found a new (old) club. Never really got a shot at Hearts. news.boroughmuirfc.com/posts/welcom...

Enjoying this while it lasts 😎

Thrilled I managed to get hold of this kit. Good to add the family hometown to the collection.

Well it's about damn time.

Hearts preseason team selection looks very much like the team you'd expect to see when the season starts. Standard 3-4-3, Forsyth taking the vacant Lisa Robertson position in CM, Eilidh Shore promoted to captain. #Hearts #HMFC

I mean, just look at him. Best mascot in the world.

Never underestimate the power of Jock the Jambo.

Some analysis of Hearts' offseason so far as the transfer window opens.

Emma Ilijoski is heading back out on loan to Aberdeen again. This time for the whole season. Hard for a full-back to fit into Eva Olid's back three so a good move for her development and good for Aberdeen too. www.heartsfc.co.uk/blogs/news/i...

With the Jo Potter news here's a reminder that Eva Olid is the second longest serving* active manager in the SWPL at four years. She's behind Paul Brownlie by a month or two. *Accies boss Robert Watson has been at the club for 10 years but he's only been manager for two. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Kathleen McGovern definitely learnt that at Hearts 😉

Lauren Wade and Joely Andrews both start for Northern Ireland in their big Nations League game. The Hearts pair only need a draw to secure a promotion play-off.

2-1 win for Scotland. Eilidh Shore played well, Bayley Hutchinson scored a great equaliser. Lots to be pleased with.

Four Hearts players in the Scotland U23 squad for today's friendly against Iceland. Eilidh Shore starts. (One Toon player on the bench as well. So much interest for me in the second half).

As we gear up for the "exciting new era" of the Scotland National team, worth noting that Pedro Martinez Losa just took his Tigres side to the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. While he was certainly part of the problem, it definitely goes beyond him and will not be easily fixed. ... Happy Friday!

Fair play to Kim Little, she fobbed off Scotland to prolong her Arsenal career and, you know what, it's paid off. One of the best there's ever been... Just a shame she wasn't there to take that penalty against the Republic of Ireland.

Absolutely buzzing for Scott McTomminay and Billy Gilmour: both are about to become Serie A winners, but the former is well on his way to being a Napoli legend.

Yeah, I'm not calling it the Hill Dickinson Stadium. It will forever just be Bramley-Moore Docks to me. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
