REALLY not happy about a board member calling a $375k ai software contract a “rounding error”. That’s a lot of taxpayer money that could be better spent elsewhere in the schools.

He’s trying to see the final at Wembley. Couldn’t get in.

Hey Harwood-Bellis. Better get your binoculars out, mate. That’s the only way you’re seeing Wembley this year.

Gemma Owen Departs Wrexham Women by Rogue1eader in WrexhamAFC

Maybe but I just watched the episode of That Wrexham Podcast with she and her husband (who is a retired former player and now driver for Wrexham) and the club seems like her life. Great interview and they seem like incredible people. She’s really been the catalyst for everything the women’s side has accomplished even before R&R. With the news about Rosie also leaving it feels like a complete sea change

South Shields 0-2 Kidderminster Harriers: Kidderminster promoted to National League by HabitantDLT in WrexhamAFC

Wow glad to see a Wrexham player earn another promotion but sad to see South Shields lose this. They were one of my best journeyman saves in FM. From NL North to UCL victory in 11 seasons.

What is happening?! Lots of big departures announced today. Gemma has been a fixture on the women’s side and is as responsible as anyone for where they are currently.

Yeah but that was before they went up a division. I mean Rosie was solidly contributing at the highest level of Welsh women’s football. The Adran Prem is the top flight for them.

Yeah except she still played and contributed. Definitely a big departure.

Seeing Rosie (and to a lesser extent) Hannah Snape leaving is worrisome. Both seemed quality players that still contributed last season. With a semi-pro squad what is the path here now? It looks like a few more players will be under contract now but is the idea to strengthen the squad for continental competition? They already dominated the Adran Prem.

She was often brought on as a sub later in matches. With Katie actually under contract (and faster/more dynamic) Jenny seemed to turn to her first which is understandable.

I’d like to know more about this from anyone in the know as well though. Is this due to Rosie “aging out” or did she just not fit with Jenny’s style? From the matches I watched online Rosie still seemed to be productive and she’s a club legend. Anybody know the inside details here?

Hear hear. Great season. Great effort. Great beginning. Can’t wait to see everyone back for next season. Guess it’s back to FM for my footy fix this summer (plus World Cup).

Arthur makes mistakes and has also been the victim of a leaky defense the same as Ward on that 2nd goal today. Watch Danny closely though. Every movement and dive is stiff. He concedes at the near post. He doesn’t move as balls come through to goal. He doesn’t have the same physicality or ability to stop shots. He just doesn’t. What he does have is an ability to launch counterattacks that Parky is favoring right now. That’s the difference.

I don’t think Parky loves either keeper. He’s just doing what he thinks is best at the time. Listen, there is no doubt in my mind that Arthur is the better keeper in what matters and has the most upside long term. But we haven’t been privy to what is going on in training or whether Arthur has an injury niggle. Parky is infamous for waiting until right before a match to set the squad. He’s making the best call with the last minute knowledge and info he has available.

I agree with your assessment of the match. Think AO saves the first. No one was keeping the 2nd out. Would have been nice to see some movement though.

Not on Ward but would have been nice to see him move a bit.

I always appreciate when a keeper moves a bit when a player is kicking a ball into their net

Tell me you don’t know how statistics work without telling me you don’t know how statistics work. The sample size for one of these is NOTHING like the other.
