Yet with protected status for some clubs and no promotion and relegation it’s just a round robin tournament at the end of a season.

Richard Marles is Labors one man deal breaker. They can point out all the good things they've done, and how they aren't the LNP, but then there's Richard Marles stinking the joint up. He aspires to be Christopher Pyne.

These people aren’t just numbers in a spreadsheet. You can’t put 2 million on leave and expect government services to function. Amid the chaos, we’re watching the U.S. crumble—led by a man responsible for bankrupting two casinos! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

PGMOL doubling down on obviously wrong decisions is corruption, pure and simple. It is long past time that (so-called) football journalists should be exposing their hypocrisy and 'errors'. PGMOL exist purely to promote referees and have no interest in the integrity of football and need disbanded

I made my first trip to the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa today. It was magic. I cried. Many highlights: Bob’s tiny cursive, the Blood on the Tracks notebooks, stunning archive footage, the abundant notes made on hotel stationery. I loved it and am looking forward to going back!

Anyway, personal decision but I wouldn’t want to have looked back after 1945 and known that in the 1930s I still subscribed to a publication owned by a leading Nazi and being on X now is the modern equivalent. Tiny gesture, will make zero difference in the grand scheme of things I know. But still.

I see that Nick Kyrgios “crashed” out of the Australian but Jordan Thompson got “bundled” out. Just wondering which was the better way to exit. Impartial local commentators had to mention that both were suffering from injuries. #AusOpen

While I feel sorry for the family of Oscar Jenkins, assuming that he died fighting for Ukraine but no one forced him to go to war. Albo is just doing a bit of his own brand of shirtfronting

Today's Arsenal scans are a couple of inserts from 1930s programmes featuring both our first FA Cup winning squad and first League Championship winning squad.

"And at some point we need to ask ourselves – as the ones who pay for Paramount+ subscriptions and buy tickets to A-League matches – why it is that the game’s administrators seem to hate football fans with the burning intensity of a thousand suns?" #ALeague #ALM www.theroar.com.au/2024/12/30/t...

It’s frustrating to read the quote from FA’s Head of Referees Jon Moss that “the foot of the Victory player (Machach) went over the ball” the foot bounced off the ball. What hope do we have if the Head of Referees can get that so wrong? 🤦🏻‍♂️ #SYDvMVC

On this day in 1963, I was lucky to be at Old Trafford to see George Best score his first goal for the Man. Utd. senior team. 20 years later I was fortunate to be on the same pitch as George at Cromer NSW, when he scored probably one of his last goals, for Dee Why against my team, Manly

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

It’s 9 months since Vince Rugari reported in the SMH that Ernie Merrick was preparing to unveil a new 10-year technical plan, which included an overhaul of Australia’s development systems & turning the Socceroos & Matildas into top 10 & top 5 teams in FIFA’s world rankings. Still nothing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who is party to having their bank account scammed. If you don’t provide information/ codes to scammers, you will eventually be reimbursed by the bank. Can’t teach intelligence #HSBC

A League football comprise a litany of cynical fouls (I won’t call them “professional fouls” as Simon Hill and Daniel McBreen do) and inept, pathetic referees who let the games disintegrate when they could do so much to improve them. #WSWVBRI

I am so excited to share that I'll be part of this wonderful line-up celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks at the @bobdylancenter.bsky.social in Tulsa, OK in January. 2025 is shaping up to be a busy year for me music wise and I'm thrilled to kick it off with this show!

You don’t need to be a genius or one of the multitude of banks’ “chief economists” to read from Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock’s remarks or body language that the cash rate will be lowered when she and the gang get together for their next bash in February 2025.

Why is there so much hullaballoo about whether an act of violence is a terrorist attack or not ? Does it matter ? At least synagogue fire bombing hasn’t been described as “un Australian” (yet) 🙄
