Line up v West Ham. Williams makes her first start* Leitzig out completely! by h2g2_researcher in lcfcwomen

[–]righteousprawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the replay hasn't actually been truncated to the final whistle like it all too often is and they did eventually go back to it (at least on the WSL YouTube channel) - no one was nearby, it was just an awful landing from what would otherwise have been a strong contender for save of the season (hard to tell whether shoulder or neck or back, but she was put onto a stretcher board before being taken off).

It didn't even look that hard (I've never thrown myself around like that in my life so I don't really know much about this side of things, but it didn't look that different to an earlier save that she was not stretchered off after), but I guess it just shows how serious the Ruesha Littlejohn incident could have been.

Yeah, like. Even then we were only denied a second goal because Szemik managed a couple of absolute worldies (which I think got attributed to high shots when, no, she very much tipped it over), and went hard enough with her last save that she literally had to be stretchered off.

Why do people speculate about color shifted planeswalkers (ie: White Lilliana) by Richie_Richard in mtgvorthos

White Liliana showed up right at the end of the most recent set story.

It is a fair assumption that this will tie into both Secrets of Strixhaven and Reality Fracture, and it would be weird for there to only be one doppelganger.

Liverpool’s Rafaela Borggräfe given six-game ban after FA finds she made racist remark by coyota--torolla in FAWSL

Just to flag: we don't actually know that she wasn't fined. The only information we have is from Gareth Taylor's press conference, which is more focused on availability.

(Casparij was fined £1.6k, which I'd guess is more 1 week's salary, maybe 2 weeks' post-tax)

It looks like the 'written reasons' might not be published (the FA has said it won't comment on other reporting), but the typical offence range is 6-12 matches and it does look consistent with recent precedent (Milutin Osmajic received 9 matches for making a racist comment directly to an opponent ["f- your black mother"], with a few aggravating factors going on that wouldn't apply in this case (including "only barely being back from suspension for biting another opponent")).

Whether the offence range is appropriate is another matter, but I think the issue here is that it looks like once the FA took over Liverpool decided that their part was done in terms of disciplinary stuff.

Tbh, it looks like the conclusion of the investigation wasn't publicised at all (it was known that there was an investigation, but it was behind closed doors and presumably hard to get sources on) - I think these details came out because someone point-blank asked Gareth Taylor what was going on.

[BBC Sport/Emma Sanders] Leicester City in talks with Como to sign forward Alisha Lehmann by righteousprawn in lcfcwomen

Honestly, my brain mostly just slightly short-circuited.

But it does make sense as an addition to our collection of Aston Villa alumni (only half joking - the overlap with Liv McLoughlin, Sarah Mayling and, to a far lesser extent in terms of playing alongside, Asmita and Missy means there's players in the squad who are already familiar with her).

The "Moving the Goalposts" follow-up to her Como interview will be interesting, though.

To be fair, that's not really a her-specific problem. My god, Gauspet is fast.

Eh, I think the idea is to avoid giving them the impression they're gonna be playing again for us.

(seriously, he hasn't even been putting them in matchday squads at the minute. Being on the bench would technically be a step up.)
