Staying Connected

We hope you all are well in these weird times. All of us are adapting to the current circumstances, so we wanted to let you know that we’re planning a few online events to take place in the next month or so.

Let’s make women’s football the game we want to see

This weekend we look forward to welcoming the fans, players and officials from Manchester United Women’s FC, but not at any cost. We were unhappy to see the reports in multiple mainstream media outlets of the negative chanting that was levelled at Liverpool FC Women by some Manchester United Women fans in the last round of WSL games; chanting which was subsequently reported by Liverpool FC Women to the FA for further investigation.

Social media platforms should be treated like every other place where people congregate

Social media can be like your favourite pub, you go in, have a chat with people you know as well as strangers, and have interesting, mundane and sometimes surprising conversations. The only problem is, as the pub gets really busy, some people come in with masks covering their faces and things can get a bit hairy. Sheer volume and anonymity mean people say things that they perhaps wouldn’t if they were interacting face to face.

Remembering Jonathan

It’s unfathomable that we are writing this. We were supposed to talk to Jonathan after his week off and always looked forward to our phone calls and meetings because we knew we’d achieve something and it was always a joy to interact with him.
