Whether you agree with the comment or not, singling out & ridiculing an individual on an official club account is not what we’re here for. Karen Carney is a well-informed pundit. This tweet is inciteful & inappropriate. Not a good look now, or at any time.

Women are still not allowed to attend football matches in Iran. Bundesliga fans in Iran were reportedly shown prerecorded shots of the crowd whenever the camera focused on ref Bibiana Steinhaus. Well here's a photo of Bibiana officiating - because she does, and does it very well.

Thank you for playing a huge part in inspiring the next generation of girls to not let anyone stop them from following their dream.
Thank you also, for reminding women of all ages that football is ours to enjoy too.

We are devastated to learn of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Vikki Orvice. Vikki was a brave, brilliant and extraordinary lady who passionately championed women in football. We will miss her dreadfully, and will continue to stand up for all she believed in.
The first female referee in English Football League history!
Rebecca Welch takes charge of today's League Two clash between Harrogate Town and Port Vale 👏
On Boxing Day 1920, around 50,000 fans saw them play at Goodison Park. Thousands more couldn't get in.
They defied the subsequent ban on women's football in England, and played on for decades more.
We can all take inspiration from Dick, Kerr Ladies FC.
Every picture tells a story, and what a photo this is.
Well done Sian Massey-Ellis on becoming the first English woman to officiate at a men's

Women in Football are disappointed by the pause in the Women’s FA Cup and by the ban on grassroots sport and especially girls football during this lockdown period - grassroots sport encompasses the youth pathway in the women’s game and we urge authorities to look at this.

The fact that someone hates women enough to have made these stickers is proof in itself that

Solidarity to

Some sad individual got these stickers made at a match today. Never knew a campaign against sexism could offend someone so much they had to pay to get these made. Things like this only make us stronger, as shocking as it has been. 💛

They're shaping a future where careers in football are enabled by ability, not identity.

We should all be able to play, watch and work in football without fear of discrimination…and we all have a part to play to ensure that it is inclusive for everyone.
