How's Your Touch Podcast

We've (virtually) met up with Emma Tobiasson of Bad Football Fan to chat through Damallsvenskan and how things are getting on over in Sweden. We also touch on the recent news that Scotland's next home game won't be played at Hampden and offer some thoughts on the general strategy of growth in our country.

And with that the 2023/2024 season comes to an end. What an absolute ride. SWPL never disappoints. This week, our final podcast of the season, we discuss our awards, and look back on some of our favourite and not-so-favourite from the season.

Finally there is the small matter of the Scottish Cup final to look forward to. The...

As we enter the final week of the SWPL almost all clubs still do not know their fate. We look ahead to a massive double gameweek to round of an incredible SWPL season. By the next podcast all will be revealed (what a scary thought) Champions to crown, playoffs to secure. It all comes down to this.
