Media release: BBC Scotland kicks off new series of highlights from the Scottish Women’s Premier League
BBC Scotland is bringing the best of the action from the Scottish Building Society Scottish Women’s Premier League with a weekly highlights show on the BBC Scotland channel.
The new series, which kicks off this Sunday, capturing the highlights of the first match day back as the season resumes, further strengthens the broadcaster’s football portfolio which includes SPFL highlights and live Championship and Scottish Cup football.
Tom Connor, editor, Sport, BBC Scotland, said the broadcaster is delighted to be breaking new ground in its coverage of women’s football.
“Morale is so low and colleagues are suffering from depression and anxiety for what they have been through and witnessed during the pandemic. The proposed pay rise will destroy some people.
“This is the final straw for NHS staff, and I for one will be supporting industrial action if the unions think it’s the only viable option.”
‘I’ve never seen it get this bad’
Jim Gough, 58, a nurse at the Royal University hospital in Liverpool, has worked in intensive care since 1993. Given this is one of many pay offers he has seen over the years, his response is cautious for now. “The offer isn’t official yet. I’ve seen Tory governments do this before. They put out a rumour that it will be 1%, and then you’re supposed to be grateful when they give you slightly more than 1%,” said Gough.
