Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
Coaching my Landesliga team against 3rd placed Landhaus. After last weekend’s 1:0 defeat, today’s targets are another good team performance and to get back to winning ways.

Winning the opening game of the season is always good but particularly happy with the strong squad performance. Bravo! 👏

Nice to get a win in the first pre-season friendly but particularly happy about the performance of the team as a whole and the integration of the new players. #wscfrauen #landesliga

….study showed that spectators only rate men's game scenes and goals more highly when they recognize that men are playing. However, if the gender of the players is hidden, the differences in evaluation almost completely disappear.

Ukrainischer Präsident Selenskyj plant Medienberichten zufolge am 16. Juni einen Besuch in Wien. Offizielle Bestätigungen fehlen, jedoch sind Treffen mit hochrangigen österreichischen Politikern vorgesehen.
So don’t think I’ll be bothering much with the FIFA Clubs World Cup in June.
But come July I’ll try to watch as much of the Women’s Euro25 as circumstances permit. Should be a tournament worth watching.
Mit dem Ende der Saison beginnt die Planung für die Saison 2025/26 – inklusive Sichtungs- und Probetraining am 18. Juni für die Teams der 2. Bundesliga und der Landesliga Frauen.

So after yesterday’s drama’s, my focus now returns to the question of winning the Wiener Frauen Cup against the favourites Rapid Wien. #frauenfußball #womensfootball

Drama, drama, drama. On the final day of the season it wasn’t to be. Given expectations at the beginning of the campaign it’s something that we were even this close to the title. Bravo and thank you to the squad. #faklive
Warming up for the second game of the day. It’s not in our hands but if we do our part and the result in the other game is favourable then the Bundesliga title is ours. Let’s do this, come on Austria! #faklive
It’s outrageous that the final games of the Bundesliga season are played on the same day as the ÖFB Frauen Cup final. It seems that for Austrian football authorities Women’s Football is priority as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the men’s game. Those responsible should ‘fall on their swords’
First game today. ÖFB Frauen Cup Finale. St. Pölten vs Austria Wien. Come on Austria! #faklive #frauenfußball #womensfootball
