Football fan, groundhopper, and poster of random things. Some of my views might be yours.https://bsky.app/profile/thejameskeep.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejameskeep.bsky.social/post/3mkl25zabt22iThis is great from Tony Bloom's other club. Hearts fans, what would you like to see for our women's team in the longterm? Not a huge capacity leap between a 10k venue and Tynecastle so for now I'd be happy if they just gave Oriam a bit of an upgrade. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/c5yx8klrlx0o28 Apr 2026 16:50 +0000at://did:plc:657nfjclgzg44hegrtb4z7ay/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkl25zabt22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/thejameskeep.bsky.social/post/3mkk3uflv222nI may be a bit biased here but I think Carly Johns deserves to be on this shortlist slightly more than Nicole Kozlova. Johns' goals and assists tally was much better even before Kozlova's injury. All deserving candidates though.28 Apr 2026 07:48 +0000at://did:plc:657nfjclgzg44hegrtb4z7ay/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkk3uflv222nhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejameskeep.bsky.social/post/3mf7cgxp4fk2nOn a completely unrelated note here's a review of Hearts' cup defeat on Sunday.

Charlton look like the ticket for anyone who wants to play in the WSL. Murphy is easily Newcastle's best player and sad to see she's keen to move on.03 Feb 2026 18:12 +0000at://did:plc:657nfjclgzg44hegrtb4z7ay/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdxxlbeiic2thttps://bsky.app/profile/thejameskeep.bsky.social/post/3mdxxfo2vx22tI guess this is kind of almost maybe like a new signing... ish.

Performances were poor, no strategy, formation didn't suit the players.
