@nuggsy Me too. As someone said on Threads, the accident does show how physically intimidating the squad now is. Probably moved Vieira for his own protection 😁
@nuggsy @GunnersBot The Merino injury a freak accident, but at the least bad time. 6-8 weeks out during which there are TWO breaks for international🤮🤮 football minimises the damage and ALMOST makes me grateful for that abhorrent abomination. Almost
@Astrealix @Aesecakes I've only been following the women's team for 2 seasons, about 1.5 seasons more than necessary to have had enough of Eidevall, but who would be credible contenders for an upgrade?

It also suggests the club is really serious about the women's team, so they absolutely deserve better, imo

@MHPengwingz @Astrealix And if not, may the finger of blame finally point immovably at EideFAIL
