Ha fucken way. Get in Brobbey. Mind the gap etc.

Message from Chinese friend “Australia has American military bases, which also makes it a target for Iranian retaliation. Any country with American military bases has become a target for Iranian revenge. Please stay informed about international developments and exercise caution.” Lots to comment on

more statements coming out re: Iran’s women’s national team. @fifpro.bsky.social Asia/Oceania is calling on #FIFA and the #AFC to uphold their human rights obligations and protect the players.

Given the ref allowed play to continue, surely the Haaland foul to enable the goal deserved a yellow.

Lock in at Footscray DSS. 7 cops turn up and arrest a young woman. She tells the cop to get his hands off her after he says he is arresting her.

1 of 5 This is now becoming an annual post. Lest we forget. OTD 1885 John Malcolm Eadie Fraser died in Sydney, Australia. I went to see his grave when I was in Australia, Dec 2024. He is buried in a Presbyterian lair in the far west of Rookwood Cemetery.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

@iansyson.bsky.social Just finished reading your excellent “the game that never happened. The vanishing history of Soccer in Australia.” Trying to understand why early media began to ignore soccer, and published the anti-Soccer letters that seem to be selected with bias. Any thoughts Ian?

This is excellent, tragically so. Shows that Extra Judicial Killings have a long history in the Philippines, even before Duterte.

Marcos 1965. His actions in 1975 seem prescient.

Reading Philip Bowring’s excellent history of the Philippines. This passage about the end of ww2 is not surprising.

Philippines is woke? One of the most devout countries in the world can’t wish happy Christmas?

Sokkah novel. Terrible cover. Anyone read it?

@gedboy58.bsky.social ged. This will get you to Adelaide one day thekickoff.com.au/team/john-ac... Acraman’s first game used goal posts, round balls, no handling — things missing from the attached article.

Lofty ideals.

On Dynon road. To my mind this improves vacant lots.

Disney+ Been getting this message since I decided to unsub--any chance you could help me out?

not that we’re even a drop in this ocean, but Silver Lake and Paramount are currently some of the biggest investors in the A-Leagues. is this how we want our game to be aligned?

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” This must be the expression of empathy that so triggers the US right in relation to To Kill a Mockingbird.

Heads Up! You can now listen to ‘Rugby Reloaded’ and its back catalogue via YouTube. Just search ‘Rugby Reloaded’ and every episode is available conveniently at your fingertips!

Big thanks to Stefan Mauk for jumping on and chatting about his move away from Adelaide, life in Vietnam, a player's take on the Western United saga and plenty more.

As the #Socceroos take on #NewZealand tonight for the #FootballAshes, why not be really well informed about this important slice of Australian sporting history? We've got just the book for it. Available in e-book and softcover. buff.ly/DICVZG9 #AUSvNZL

Anyway. Walked down to the lawn below Footscray park where Melbourne victory’s ground was to be developed.

The new ‘Rugby Reloaded’ takes a long look at the history of concussion in men’s rugby union. Can the concussion crisis be solved simply by changing the rules of the game, or is it more deeply rooted in the traditional culture of the sport. Listen now at: on.soundcloud.com/znn4SnROyaaH...
