As this is regarding the March meeting, I have replied in the respective thread for that meeting

From what I can recall that was said (and also from what I saw at both games respectively): a Cardiff supporter pulled out an Israel flag after they scored their goal, and people producing banners regarding Free Palestine & protesting the upcoming Arms Fair at Ashton Gate

The tweet has since been deleted, but the Barclays Women's Championship account posted a half time graphic for today's game between Charlton & Birmingham. Spot the issue...

Finished 0-0, so there's now a seven point gap between 11th & 12th as City didn't play today. City's next game is the one that was meant to take place today, away at Arsenal. This will be on April 14th, with no other WSL games that weekend

Game against Manchester City moved to 6.45pm due to being selected for live coverage by Sky Sports. No coincidence it's because we're playing one of the big teams...

Chloe Mustaki ruled out for the rest of the season...

Lauren Smith feature from last weekend's Women's Football Show on BBC

Hopefully Furney could be back for the next game against Arsenal on April 14th. Maybe score another wonder goal against them?

Also, the Gas Girls (since they reformed) have been run by Bristol Rovers Community Trust. If they were to go up the leagues, then I believe the football club would have to take full control of them...

I think that seems to still be a thing in women's football. Mainly seems to be kids (especially girls) who see the players as role models. I do remember seeing some photos after City lost 7-3 to Brighton & did wonder if the kids actually read the room or not. If I was a player who lost (a game like that), I probably wouldn't want to go pose for photos etc... I've had photos with players in the past; but that's usually at smaller grounds (Stoke Gifford/RHPC), or even at away games when City players only seem to be approached by fans who travelled, as well as their families/friends

Whichever walk it is from Wembley Park tube station up to the stadium...that one. I've been to Wembley a few times already so have done that walk on most occasions. Timing just wasn't on my side today

Coach meant to arrive at Wembley at 5pm didn't arrive until 5.40pm. Parked on the other side of the stadium, so too tired to do the Wembley Way walk. Went to find a spot for the flag. And it's up.

Next year will be the 10th anniversary!

Yeah, I don't quite know why there are less countries than the men's tournament. Think it was the same or similar for Tokyo 2020 I know that men's teams are all U23 but can have up to three players over that age, whereas women's teams can have players of any age

None given by the club other than "unforeseen circumstances". However as it was the day before the Arms Fair took place, one theory is that questions about that could have been asked, and/or those against it could have turned up & disrupted it. Also, the team lost at home 7-3 the day before it was due to take place, which could have made things interesting if it went ahead on it's scheduled date. As far as I'm aware, Napier has only been sent off once. She served one ban (the Brighton game) for getting five yellow cards

Press conference from today. Some key points: Smith pleased with Man Utd performance, acknowledges the away support but still wants that home win. Has praise for former City loanee Grace Clinton & Spurs manager Robert Vilahamn. Jamie-Lee Napier suspended again after being sent off (one match ban I assume as she had two bookings), Carrie Jones has damaged ligaments in her ankle & won't be available for Sunday or probably for Wales in next international break. Kudos to the journalist who asked about the fans forum that was postponed for no reason that was made public, and Smith replied that it's likely to be held before end of season

Also, a cold Tuesday night there

Speaking of retro shirts, hopefully those that ordered the additional BCFC Heritage Shirts will get theirs before then...

Not sure if this will help or not, but if you were to buy from the England Store & you have a MyRewards account, you'll get points as Fanatics/Kitbag (who run that website) are partners. I found this out when I bought something a few months ago & it showed up in my transactions in MyRewards I am in block 140. I wanted a closer seat to you @phantom but none available at time of booking
