I casually follow Celtic these days, including both the Celtic B (Rocco Vata) and the women's team. The women's team seem to have a great thing going. They narrowly missed out on the league last year and then, inexplicably, offloaded half of their team in the closed season. But they're doing well and one of their main players is Caitlin Hayes. I don't know how the hell she wasn't called up to the Ireland squad before now (she's 27), but she's deadly, and has done deadly in her first 2 internationals.
 
RIP Francis Lee (1944 - 2 October 2023)
don't need to tell you about him.
some of Franny's greatest hits:

Lee scored to make it 4-2 at Newcastle on the final day of the season 11-5-1968. City hung for 4-3 win to claim title ahead of Man Utd.

the VAR crew didn't realise the ref called it offside and when the VAR said ''check complete'' ref wrongly thought they were confirming offside decision and let the game resume.
after play resumed the laws don't allow the officials to intervene...
the whole process was very rushed. so we do need we need to give 'em time...

Irish women currently playing in horrendous thunderstorm in Albania.
Apocalyptic weather for about 15 minutes!
Check out Albania v Ireland on RTE 2 now.
 
Match stopped at HT in Albania. still extreme rain and pitch dangerous and waterlogged. unlikely to resume tonight but the ref will give it an hour to make a decision.
Plan B is to play tomorrow.
Score was 0-0 and game was a dangerous farce from before 20th minute.

In terrible news Saudi has got the 2034 World Cup. The Aussies withdrew and today was deadline.

Was listening to football scores coming in last Saturday. This game sounded nuts -

FA Cup 1st Round 4-11-2023.
4th tier Swindon v 5th tier Aldershot.
MAGIC OF THE FA CUP!
Swindon 4-7 Aldershot.

The Shots scored in the first minute, got a superb second and were a record breaking 7-0 up after 58 minutes.
Then Swindon scored 4 times.
No non-league team had ever scored 7 against a league side in an FA Cup tie before.
Second Swindon goal was good too, as Aldershot tired.
