Was a good game yesterday, buzzing for the team to win the cup and also a good day out for BC.

Had the pleasure of speaking to Malky Thomson and Nic Doc after the game. Both are a credit to the club, can tell straight away how passionate they are about the team and wanting to grow popularity of Women's football amongst our support

I wonder if the women's game would benefit from a summer calendar instead?

Less competition when men's game is on pre season and encourage more families with young kids to go in better weather?

Cant imagine crowd tomorrow would have been any good a week before Christmas and competing with WC final

In my opinion there was no benefit to the summer calendar that was in place, we still had multiple postponed games early in the season and late in the season. We’d play til mid June then take a 6 week break into august so missed most of the good weather anyway!

As soon as the big teams started to say they wanted to mirror the men’s leagues and the bigger women’s leagues to align with the champions league it was never in doubt that we’d move to a traditional calendar.

Never knew we used to play that way. Only started following the women's team in last few seasons

Up until 2020 we ran a summer calendar, would start with a league cup group stage in early Feb into March then league games would start and run to June, 4-6 week break then go again until the league finished and season ended with the SC final in mid November so you would have the champions from November going into the champions league the following August.

GC, Rangers and Celtic were keen to move to the traditional calendar along with most other clubs, some of the smaller clubs involved in the top two leagues were preferring the summer calendar but were never winning that battle.

Victim of circumstance, was on a career break from her full time job in Ireland to pursue this, her employer has been unable to continue it so she’s had to go back to work.

It’s 100% true by the way, nothing sinister or hidden about it.

Fully expect Leanne Ross to take it on now.

Why would you hire a manager who could walk away at any second at the whim of her "job"?

Glasgow Citys obsession with getting a female head coach instead of the right coach looking a little silly now.

More than those 3 were keen.
A summer calendar meant players doing pre season from the 2nd week of January, playing mid Feb until end of June, a "break" in July which was actually just 4 weeks of training for the vast majority (not actually a rest or break), then run again August till the end of November before spending 2-3 weeks re-building sides to get Xmas and New Year week off and back to it.

Players, mostly volunteer club and coaching staffs were running on empty. A summer season at least allows an end in the last weekend of May and players are signed until the end of June allowing teams to get proper respite before starting pre season in July.
The only difference in the game schedule in the 1st 2 weeks of December and 3 weeks in January, where teams would have done pre-season in years gone past.

That’s Glasgow City for you mate!

But to be fair to Gleeson she’s a very intelligent woman and her job will be paying her a hell of a lot more than City.

Oh absolutely I agree, but as soon as the powerhouses were keen there was no going back

never made a spot in the team her own
probably best for her career

Pretty much this.

She looked ok when she joined but never set the heather ablaze. Colette Cavanagh looks a much feistier option in that 'inside left' position.

Anyway. We're replete with midfielders. Finding a 'Jane Ross' goal machine who ghosts behind defenders is a bigger priority.
