Another @jeanolafc limited edition design. With femorabilia we are critiquing the mono culture of football shirt wearing as a totem of fandom. So limited edition, female designed, female made and fun. Alessia Russo in neon pink with Lioness safety pins.

#WorldCup relative days worked to buy tickets. It’s unethical, to say the very least.

Inflated World Cup ticket prices indicate a disrespect for ‘ordinary’ fans. Corporations and FIFA sponsors can outbid individuals. Then empty seats, wherein hospitality is more distracting than the football. Those empty seats will inevitably affect the media spectacle, a major talking point in 2026.

The @jeanolafc Supersonic Bronze foil designs for Euros 2025 went down a storm as limited edition t shirts. We have ten totes in the same design £15 plus p&p this December. When they’re gone, they’re gone…

Very pleased for Lando. It’s been heartbreaking to see Hammy’s season fall apart. New rules next year, and more motor sport historical writing from me in 2026…Congratulations Lando!

Happiness provider. Peace prize. Gianni. For a feminist critique of the above, see…

For those of us writing about international women’s football club ownership, and financial loopholes a big deal here…..

So what would you choose? First half uppy and second half downy? #Woodhouse #Leicestershire

Lovely to hear from @jeffersonlenskyj.bsky.social at Feminist Scholars’ Forum today. Congratulations on the book!

Thanks for your support!

Ideal post Euros/Afcon read. My new memoir, 30 years in women’s football and 25 plus in academia. Perfect for a summer of women’s sport

Never let it be said I am not on brand. Swimming the Rhine in Basel ahead of the final. In Sarina we Trusted

As seen on the BBC. 40% of football shirts end up in landfill. How can we change fan mono culture?

Rest day Geneva. #womens #Euros 2025

Out this Friday….

What were the first ever women’s Euros like in 1984? Reuniting Kerrt Davis and Pia Sundhage this summer with @BBC Bitesize www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art...

I’ve got a fully funded PhD opportunity to study incidences of dementia in older women football players www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMT230/f... do encourage good candidates to apply via the portal

I’ve enjoyed dusting off the Olympic studies handouts for lectures on an MA with a colleague in Japan. Happy to take on similar casual lectures if there is demand elsewhere. It was nice to look through the material again…

#INT #BAR anyone?

If any of the players affected would like to forward me the email, I would be happy to receive. Doing part of a wider study on how trans participation in sport is increasingly using language of bans…https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/fa-tells-trans-players-referees-coaches-get-therapy-3670155

Happy Easter to those who celebrate from lovely #Leicestershire

There are many of my books on this database www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Hammy! Hope it’s a great season…#F1

Am making new Femorabilia items for Euros 2025 in Switzerland. If you are a feminist maker wanting to collaborate on designs do get in touch. There will be plenty of In Sarina We Trust and recycled/ upcycled pieces. Wales and England fans, what do fashionistas want to wear to the footy?

community.three.co.uk/t5/Let-s-tal... new approaches to history using AI

Very happy with my first piece of AI history/ media on women’s football which has been a long time in the making. Out tomorrow for #IWD2025 based on independent research

@futbolprof.bsky.social thanks so much for tonight’s Footbsll Scholars Forum session (my time).

I was inspired by meeting @bonitamersiades.bsky.social in 2023 to write my own book out in 2025. If you teach football studies Whatever it Takes should be on your curriculum. See How FIFA corruption actually works below… @fairplaybooks.bsky.social

There are really good reasons why female historians of women’s football use oral history for the players to tell their own stories. It’s co-creation. It’s collaborative. It’s feminist in methodology. More to come in 2025…
