Free kick 20 yards out in the last minute and she has basically passed it to the keeper (a 19 year old making their club debut). Atrocious.

011

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yet to see a player come on loan from WSL/WSL 2 and be convinced it's worth it by the way.

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Terrible performance and now we're three big games this season without a win. Anastasiadis needs to be back in goal after the international break, hopefully Andrews is fit so Fitzgerald doesn't have to be the whole midfield, and Gibb needs to be starting at right back.

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Simon talking about wanting to go the world cup next year, perhaps focus on completing a pass first.. jeezy peeps

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Watching Annets on that first goal is painful. Schumacher, Clachers, even Armitage, probably save that. She's not even looking at where the ball is.

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Notley as well. That gaping Andrews/Reilly shaped hole in our midfield continues...

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Would be a little shocked if McQuade comes out for the second half after this performance.

111

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Twice now we've been looking left for Boyle and she's just not there. Hate to say it but I don't think she has the legs for this level as a full back anymore. Probably two chances on goal if Keenan or Gibb are on.

Manifesting a Tiree Burchill hat trick today

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Extremely frustrating that BBC will do promo for a Scotland men's game during WSL commentary but not for the SWPL games that they show (including an Edinburgh derby on BBC Alba tomorrow (which is also nuts because the English language game is Thistle - Rangers))

030

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Jenna Clark is the best CB in the WSL, no further questions

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Saying all that Villacampa would be my number one choice, guy should be picking up the Ballon d'Or (that he wasn't even nominated for)

100

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yeah, that's the big problem (lowkey forgot it was a home world cup 🫠). I think (like I've been saying about Hibs men) they need change at DoF level on top of the manager tbh. In my Gamberé/Elias scenario she stays on in that role so not like classic interim vibes

000

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yeah, that's probably the issue but it's maybe a big enough opportunity to tempt him. Or, I wonder if Cris Gamberé is interested in a return to management as interim and then Elias joins after the WWC. She could easily continue her role with Brazil (would mean writing off this szn though)

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yeah I am reading into it that he might be keen to move home, tbf Villa might be more likely for that since he's from the North as well. Angel Villacampa would be my pick, or Piccinato/Elias but they'd be more outside shouts.

111

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

My entire thought process has been that no one who appoints managers at the top level has any imagination so it'll be someone who has had hype before + he's English so will maybe sound it out to move closer to home

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Seb Hines to Arsenal, heard it here first by the way.

130

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Took just over 6 months for Sorensen to appoint himself, seems to happen every time a manager gets a director role

131

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It's Scotland's issues all over again, a squad that is ageing with a manager who ignores the domestic league in favour of players in WSL/2 (and English) players who don't do anything to help bring the age down. (Yes, I'm annoyed about this mostly because Fitzgerald should have been called up)

020

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Carla 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 · 27/09/2026

*Feel like this is one of the cases where it is extremely unhelpful that she is spread so thin with the NT on top of City

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeah it's been really bad, some of the player management has been awful as well like Maata was flying and then seemingly got Ross decided she was only ever an in case of emergency sub and now her form has massively fallen off. Do think Ross will be on a v shoogly peg*

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Maybe but I don't think she'd be the difference for keeping the ball better, creating dangerous moments, etc... for the quality of players on the pitch it's been a really poor performance. So slow on and off the ball.

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Terrible 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 · 27/09/2026

True but even then they split the games between them. Ivarsdottir never getting shot has always confused me

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Really 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 · 27/09/2026

Thank you Nottingham Forest for Libby 'Birgit Prinz' Smith

020

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

How has she missed that? Seriously what happens to her in big games? Also, will always be surprised that Rangers haven't successfully upgraded on Fife at any point

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Wilkinson 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 · 26/09/2026

How 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 · 25/09/2026

Sky 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 · 24/09/2026

Yeah I don't hate the whole squad (although definitely some players I'd change) mostly just find the midfield bizarre since none of them are playing really. If Cuthbert and Weir aren't immediately ready to go we have no match sharpness

011

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Can 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 · 23/09/2026

Rodgers and McLeary have 737 minutes between them, in midfield, and have been in the squad before. Surely you drop some of the fringe players for them in those circumstances?

110

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Scotland'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 · 21/09/2026

Guijarro hinting at leaving Barca? Erin Cuthbert, it is time to be less Chels and go dominate the world

100

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I hadn't but makes sense, local for her (I assume she's still Dundee way) and will be more casual than an SWPL team while still being serious football. Fear for champ defenders mind 😅

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Obviously 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 · 20/09/2026

We've been pretty poor and are 2-0, what is this new Hibernian competence?

020

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Where on earth did you get a Haiti top & do they do Dumornay printing?

100

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Manifesting a Kyah Simon hat trick today

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Even with the equaliser, United have 1 winger at the club at all and she's not on the pitch. For ~60 minutes they were arguably the better side.

010

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

My consistent 'Olid is going to work out' takes are being vindicated massively here

150

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Will admit I'm not religiously watching Man City so maybe I just catch her lowlights

210

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Yeah, she never plays well while I'm watching and then I'm sat thinking about how Cumings holds the record for longest consecutive clean sheet in Swedish football history (men's or women's)

210

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I 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

Oh yeah I meant Malky when I said that, although reading about Evans... Why can't we just have normal, nice, people at our football club?

100

Matt Dallinson @themattrd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Oh dear, what's he done? I only know him from brief conversations with extended family calling his Rotherham team shit

100

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.
