Homegrown Heaven? – Part One
The ‘FA Home Grown Player Rule’ adopted by the Women’s Super League mandates that in each 25-woman squad there must be at least 8 players who have been registered with an English/Welsh club for three years before the end of the season in which they turn 21. That equates to effectively a third of the…

Schrödinger’s Stadium
Some of you may be familiar with the famous thought experiment know as Schrödinger’s cat. Here’s a handy video if you want to cat-ch up. Essentially a cat is put in a wooden box with an item that has a 50% chance of killing it in the next hour. At the end of the hour,…

Facing Forwards – The Search Begins…
With the injury to Michelle Agyemang and subsequent news that she will be out of action for at least the remainder of this season – Brighton & Hove Albion have a striker shaped hole in their squad that needs to be filled. Ironically, if the club was light in any area, it was up front…

Well here we are, the Euros are over (come on England!), the Women’s African Cup of Nations (yes Maka!) has concluded, and the Copa America Femenina has finished (proud of you Jore!).

Julie Hemsley – A Life In The Game
We had the immense pleasure of interviewing former Albion player, coach and manager, Julie Hemsley, late last year at The Caxton Arms in Brighton. A club legend yes, but so much more – Julie played for the Lionesses, was later appointed assistant manager to England boss Ted Copeland, and became the first ever woman on…

Match Review: Manchester United 3-0 Brighton
It’s been a long week and a rough run of games, even just for me as an Albion fan, never mind the players who must be feeling it all the more acutely. Much as it pains me to say it – this match felt done and dusted in the 11th minute. You simply cannot give…
