Made her first international start for Scotland Women tonight in a World Cup qualifier v Ukraine and scored a 90+3 equaliser to rescue a point for the Scots. Girls on fire right now, I make that eight consecutive games she's scored in for club & country which is incredible at any level. Great work Abi, such a proud evening for her family and her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Fran Bentley appeared as a sub GK in the second half in the Lionesses' U23 game against Estonia. 11-0 result, which seems small compared to the 20-0 win the senior squad just had against Latvia! Former City striker Ebony Salmon also appeared as a sub, and former City academy player Katie Robinson scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy goalkeeper Erin Foley made her first-team debut as Fran Bentley got subbed after 8 mins due to a collision, but as far as I'm aware is ok. Because of the result, City top the group & qualify for the quarter finals! If you haven't seen them yet, the highlights from last night's game are now available!

Hamdon Mart Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 This is sad news, thoughts go out to all the off field staff and players at this development. Never a good time to lose your job of course but at Christmas, and with hopes of a better New Year ahead, it's particularly harsh. I went to their game last Saturday v Watford (I covered Villa u18 then was meant to be going to Villa v Burnley before it was P-P so made a late switch) and there was literally not a peep about any financial issues. Young lad who is the media manager there is devastated, it's his first gig since leaving Uni. Players were gradually adapting to Championship football life and picking up a result or two but this is awful news for the players. I see a couple of other teams have offered their facilities for the players to train in the meantime but a statement issued earlier suggests they'll be going into voluntary liquidation on 4th January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
