    Nice that my whole team are based in Plano, Texas. Sure I am due to see them next June.

    Go to today's fixtures on the BBC site, and you have to trawl through Prem (fair enough), Scottish Prem (okay fair), Women's Super League (eh?), and Scottish Women's Cup (not even joking), before you get to the FA Cup games.

    No doubt when they televise the third round game between Man Utd and (insert another Prem team), they'll be banging on about the magic of the cup again.

    Clearly not as magical as the Scottish Women's Cup though is it?

    It's also a disgrace that the 3rd round draw will not be shown on free to air TV. It's on TNT Sports and Youtube only.

    It's the BBC so they have to pretend that everybody absolutely loves women's football.

    I'm sure I've seen them put international women's friendlies above league cup QF's before.

    Trip to Boreham wood would be decent. Though I doubt I'd get a ticket so would prefer somewhere else.

    BBC doesn’t even report the scores of the Scottish Women’s Cup ffs.

    I want to know what happened between Bonnyrigg Rose and East Fife.

    Real Madrid had 3 players sent off <laugh> (even if 2 were off in the 92nd minute). Doubt Alonso lasts much longer.

    Alonso was heralded as the next Messiah prior to the season beginning! I think the issue there is that the changing room doors are too small!!

    Surely FIFA knew about the plans before they scheduled which teams were playing there FFS!

    Randomly watching Villareal v FC Copenhagen and Elyounoussi has scored to give Copenhagen the lead

    Zague, the right back for Copenhagen, looks a top player at 19. Name to watch out for in the future

    I think he's on loan from PSG.
