I think Phillips has already agreed to move to St Mirren. Umeh's a bit lucky to be kept on, he still hasn't played for the first team despite being a sub fairly regularly over the last 18 months or so

Fair play to Adaramola after a tough few loans initially, two of them cut short.

Myself, Mark Kennedy of Hawkeye Sidekick and Philip Flanagan of The Bottomless Pit of Football discuss the last two games of the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League for the Women's National Team. How has Carla Ward changed the side, what is her approach to the game, and what do we think will happen when her team face Belgium in the promotion play off in October?

The inclusion of uncapped players in Heimir Hallgrímsson's squad for two friendlies at the end of the European season added interest to what are usually nondescript affairs. We discuss the impact of adding new blood to the team had over the two games, and what players might have done enough to earn a place in the squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers kicking off in September?
