That conversation just wouldn’t have happened even a few years ago.

This is what being a captain is.

stepped up to take a penalty in the most high pressured of situations. She was brave enough to take responsibility then, when she missed and her heart must have been breaking, did this interview afterwards. It’s called leadership.

We are so, so pleased to announce that the BBC has secured a new rights deal for the Women's Super League for the next three years. The BBC will show live games from the WSL on BBC One and BBC Two - starting from September this year. Giddy!!

As someone who’s passionate about the coverage of women’s sport (and who’s had her own nasty comments for covering it!) this is so important to me. Glad we’re highlighting it at the BBC.
🗣 "Too fat”
🗣 "Not really British"
🗣 "Hope you die of cancer"
In the biggest women's sport study ever carried out by
@bbcsport
, almost a third of athletes said they had received social media abuse.
Full story:
What a match! The world number one has won the tournament. Fantastic from Luke Humphries who sinks to his knees. Great effort from 16 year old Luke Littler, but not the fairytale ending that he had hoped for. More on

Thank you. I was mugged at knifepoint in Bristol at the end of my driveway. Please focus on stopping men from being violent instead of punishing women twice.
If I see one more comment on Sarah Everard making a "poor decision" to walk home alone at night, I might scream. I was attacked in broad daylight on a bright sunny morning, yards from my front door. Stop focusing on women's choices and start focusing on the men that attack us.

3 Profiles lifted
1 HUGE Opportunity Missed
By not using the female players to market THEIR OWN KIT an opportunity to build recognition, fan bases & creating role models for future generations is lost.
More than 100,000 tickets have been sold for England’s final two home matches of 2019. The lionesses play Brazil at the Riverside Stadium on Sat with almost 30,000 tickets sold, while over 75,000 seats have been sold for Germany’s trip to Wembley Stadium on Saturday 9 November.

How can a defender head the ball directly into the path of a strikers hand only for the VAR to deny the goal..and for Jane Dougall to tell the Blades manager that his win was a just result..sack her..from an unbiased Merseyside fan !
