Gary Lineker has joined calls to supersize women’s football on television after England’s Euro 2022 triumph was watched by a record audience thetimes.co.uk/article/gary-l…

The Match of the Day presenter said continued TV exposure would be “good for the game” while broadcasters argued that they had an obligation to capitalise on the #Lionesses success

BBC1’s coverage of England’s 2-1 win over Germany peaked with 17.4 million viewers, the largest audience ever recorded for a women’s game and the most-watched TV event of the year

Had a word with this trophy the other day alongside my 8 yo womens football fanatic… it definitely wants to come home… #Lionesses

Also should be said - hats off to the FA and whoever organised it - we went to most of the Brentford games and it was superbly organised, incredibly inspiring, players accessible to girls getting autographs etc - at £5 for kids tickets - entire primary classes could & did go…

We went to the womens World Cup in France / which was also brilliant, but say England-Scotland played out to 5000 fans in a 40k stadium… so absolutely spot on here to fill out smaller stadia and bring elite international sport to other communities…

Did incidents of domestic violence go up after the #Eng women's team won their #WEURO2022 semi final against #Swe yesterday? i doubt it. So why do incidents of domestic violence go up when the #Eng men's team merely play--win, draw or lose, just play? #Lionesses

Researchers who analysed domestic violence figures from #Eng men's games in 3 World Cups found that when the men's team played, incidents of domestic abuse rose by:
- 38% when they lost
- 26% when they won or drew

Findings were used in campaign by UK’s National Centre for Domestic Violence in 2018 World Cup, w/ tagline, “If England gets beaten, so will she,” & extended to other nations, showing images of national flags imprinted onto women’s faces in blood

Watching #ENGLAND vs #NORWAY in the women's Euros. Sadly missed that first half of 6 goals!

#Lionesses #WEURO2022

I'll be writing about the #WEURO2022 tournament for FEMINIST GIANT soon.

I have a feeling it will be quite a different essay to the one I wrote about the men's Euro tournament last year.

What a day at the @IMDSymposium, hearing from @KatyRR, @SeanGreenMusic, @ChrisPoonMD, @musicbeater, @marcshaiman, @lippaofficial, @LacketyLac, @stephenoremus, @StuartMorleyMD and others. Can’t wait for tomorrow! In other news my kids glammed up using make up and hair chalk 😂🧑‍🎤👩‍🎤

2nd day of @IMDSymposium was just as good. My highlights were definitely @musicbeater showing us his orchestrating process and @StuartMorleyMD’s presentation on tempo, but none of that will surprise anyone who knows me! #academic #OchestrationAndArrangement #process @nickisapiro

Seem to have missed Tuesday’s tweet somehow, so this is a double-header to make it back up. The whole day was spent in one sort of meeting or other, ranging from study support to teaching assistant interviews to our virtual graduation celebration. Hectic but good. @nickisapiro
