Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Carla Ward is so obsessed with calling up England based players it's crazy... (Shanade Hopcroft is good but you're telling me there's not a single young Irish midfielder with more upside than a 28-year-old who's never played at international level who's got minimal links to the country itself?) 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Terrible defending all round but Clachers has to save that, or even come and just catch it. It's a header in your 6 yard box, can't let that be uncontested. 111
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Really unclear what Newcastle are asking McGovern to do. Seems like they've signed her with no clue what her skillset is and are trying to force her to be something she's not. It's not like she can't do it at this level, just have to look at her SWNT goal record for that. 010
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Thank you Nottingham Forest for Libby 'Birgit Prinz' Smith 020
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wilkinson being on is like a player down for Rangers here, so naturally she'll score 2 in a minute 110
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026How many City players do we reckon handed in a transfer request in the last 24 hours? I'm saying at least 3 010
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Sky seem to have remembered the SWPL exists because it's the Old Firm then... They know other teams exist? Right? 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Can we stop calling 27-year-old Erin Clachers up to the under 23 national team? What purpose does that serve... 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Scotland's midfield selection for the WWC qualifying playoff have played 563 minutes combined, 373 of that is just Kerr and McAneny who have been playing as full/wing backs. Am I losing it or is that not insane? 110
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Guijarro hinting at leaving Barca? Erin Cuthbert, it is time to be less Chels and go dominate the world 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Obviously 6-1 so who is care but the referee at Meadowbank just blew the final whistle at 89:55ish after a half that had a red card and 9 substitutions 030
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We've been pretty poor and are 2-0, what is this new Hibernian competence? 020
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My consistent 'Olid is going to work out' takes are being vindicated massively here 150
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I know I'm in the minority on this but I do genuinely think Cumings and MacIver are both better than Yamashita at goalkeeping (ball at feet another question). Think it's still 1-0 if either are in goal today. 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026*Shocked* that Malky Mackay's top target to replace Gray is Steve Evans... A random EFL name generator could do his job, I'm so serious (and it wouldn't have a history of sexism, racism, homophobia, and professional misconduct). Said before, if anyone at Hibs needed to go it's MacKay. 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A mad stat, Ella Toone has 0 goal contributions since December 2025, including world 7s. 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Not to be a massive pessimist but Montrose in awful form and just knocked out the cup by a team in SWPL 2? That's got Hibernian 0-0 horror draw written all over it on Sunday. 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Olid watching Terland just stand about when she's used to Georgia Timms holding it up, pressing, bullying defenders, and running in behind must be so jarring 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Find the Rodman-Shelton stuff really cringe, makes the women's game out to be second fiddle to men's sports and placed all the focus of a huge result for Boston on 'will Trinity Rodman see her boyfriend tonight' (56% pass accuracy on only 9 attempted passes a 1/9 completed dribbles by the way) 082
Reposted by Matt DallinsonEmily✨ @emilyoram.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Ban this sick filth (players and managers being interviewed mid game) 59712
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Obviously a huge win which is good but it's quite frustrating (and I imagine Joelle Murray feels the same) how few clean sheets we're keeping this season 011
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Can't see Olid sticking with Toone for long if her performances continue like this. 68% pass accuracy in the opposition half against LCL, and so far today she's at 33% pass accuracy in opposition half. She's not carrying the ball or pressing well either. 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If this is how Newcastle are going to use McGov they should just give her back to be honest 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Absolute insanity that the women's transfer record (or at least a top 5 fee) is someone coming out of the Saudi League who has never competed at international level. 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 08/09/20264th in SWPL and on a shoogly peg is enough for a Ballon d'Or nomination, this league is massive... 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Really appreciate KC's commitment to NWSL parity by making every decision to ensure the dynasty that looked to be building there was torn down 0336
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Deciding to delude myself that this is a short term loan to pick up work permit points ahead of a landmark move to Hibernian Football Club (I heard of her all of 15 minutes ago and wow, that's a baller right there) 110
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Fi Morgan has just gotten away with the most obvious second yellow the SWPL will ever see in today's episode of "why are SWPL referees like this" 110
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Arsenal fans please understand "your shit keeper" doesn't really work when the opposition keeper has 100% pass accuracy including a big chance created (It's also massively tinpot) 020
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026"The WSL is just so fast paced" I've just watched Nnadozie stand on the ball for 5 seconds without anyone even jogging in her direction 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Quite disappointed to hear Corsie put down the SWPL like that on Sky Sports. She doesn't have to be an ambassador for the league if she doesn't want to, but to portray it so negatively is just not a reflection of reality. 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Lauren James looks like when a former Celtic academy player comes to our casual fives games in comparison to her teammates. 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Sounds like the BBC commentary heard about Mia McAulay approximately 30 minutes ago and have only managed a customary scan of her wiki... If only they worked for a channel that has broadcast games she's been involved in 031
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/20262-2 probably fair, need more control in games (Andrews/Reilly solve that but how long until we see them?), hopefully Anastasiadis isn't too badly hurt and was just the initial shock/pain. Refereeing was SWPL refereeing (derogatory) and at this point it's not worth talking about. 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Brady has just had a kick out at Fitzgerald and the ref hasn't even had a word... 110
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Some absolutely horrific refereeing so far underlined by the assistant on the near side getting about half the throw in decisions wrong 020
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Honestly think that should be a red for Forrest, two handed shove to send Keenan right into Anastasiadis who is low to collect the ball. So dangerous for absolutely no reason. 221
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Really interested to see how Keenan impacts Burchill's positioning. Her being a natural left footer should mean that she can hold more width and allow Burchill to play in inside channel (where she should be dangerous on her strong foot) 010
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Manchester United's players aren't good enough to play Olid-ball, they should have signed Timms and Shore 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026You better all be watching BBC Alba tonight and not whatever channel London City Lionesses - Manchester United is on 110
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Just for the SWPL-heads that will be seeing a lot of "deadline day" coverage. The window doesn't close until next Tuesday up here. Don't know of anything in the works (I rarely do) but wouldn't be shocked to see a couple incomings over the next week. 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This is all mostly going on on twitter but it's so weird to me how much animosity there is between 'competing' women's football creatives (whether it's podcasts, publications, etc..). A podcaster saying they are "glad" another is being "torn down" is extremely primary school. 100
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Delia Smith reference in Ted Lasso? You love to see it 000
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Golob might be one of the fun-est centre backs to ever play in SWPL (as not a City fan). Expected ridiculousness off the charts. 2 reds in 21 games, which probably could have been 5 or 6, but also some bonkers tackles/blocks. Could be simultaneously the best and worst CB in the league at times 131
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Choosing to focus on the good things Keenan's cameo was impressive, Taylor looks ready to really contribute, McQuade had some good moments, and Herron really stepped up. Not a catastrophe this early (but a lot more pressure on that City game on Friday) 120
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Alternate universe where we get that penalty in the 9th minute and win 6-0 010
Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Couple chances Burchill has had in this game that she's just got to do much better with, whether it's the finish/pass or the decision to hold it up/go. Created enough not to be losing and that's the big disappointment (obviously big shoes to fill with last season's front 4) 000
