No. No. No. Just no. Not a fan of new Socceroos kit. I like the idea of First Nations involvement but the colours are wrong. Why stuff around with tradition. Some sort of Gold top, green shorts, white socks combo wld be ideal. Lemon and lime belong in Coronas and cocktails! Simple guys. Real simple.

Melbourne Victory announce they will build an Academy in Mitchell Shire on the city's northern fringe, featuring pitches and training facilities, as part of a mixed use development working with council. It's the first announcement in their new infrastructure plan after the false start at Maribyrnong

Well that first 45 minutes between Victory and Phoenix was a bit of a borefest! Hope it improves in second half.

Fabulous century from Asalanka. True captains knock. Sri Lanka building a very competitive total after being in all sorts of trouble.

Sean Abbott bowling pies and Asalanka is devouring them. Fantastic innings from the Sri Lankan captain

Steve Smith’s catching is phenomenal!

What do you know! Mariners equalize!

Can’t see the Mariners surviving in the second half. A man down.

Silly from Peraic-Cullen. Red card. Didn’t have to come out

Edmondson and Sainsbury both off injured. We really needed that NOT! Mariners in trouble on weekend!

You voted for a psychopath.

Let's fight this ... we don't have a choice chuffed.org/project/mich...

They've given up pretending. My SMH/The Age cartoon.

Trump is a deranged idiot. Wants to take over a sovereign state in Gaza and turn it into the Riviera of the Middle East. Yeah another playground for the rich and a chance for him to make money no doubt. The guy is shameless. 🤪🤪🤪🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Are you dealing with a #teen who dreams of being a professional #football player? This book by Amy Schembri talks to players who have made it...or not. It's a big help for players & parents. www.fairplaypublishing.com.au/products/mak...

There’s no doubting Sam Kerr is an Australian sporting legend. But guilty or not she has forfeited the right to captain the Matildas, imho. The video is not a good look. She could have handled it a lot better. Her actions/mannerisms/demeanor were disgusting.

My goodness. The Jelena Dokic story is horrific. What she had to go through because of her abusive father. Damir Dokic was a monster.

It’s Armageddon on the Central Coast. Very dark and very very windy. Storm about to strike!

That dog who desecrated to memorial to fallen police deserves every bit of condemnation and disgust. The authorities should release him into the hands of a group of police behind closed doors and let them deal with him.

We're beginning to get some politicians realising that the action is all here on BlueSky and that the other place is owned by a man who performs Nazi salutes Now we're talking

The King' and 'The Lawman' spent 11 years at Old Trafford, his 237 goals in 404 appearances placing him third in United's history.. #DennisLaw dies aged 84 from Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

The rain and wind is relentless on the Central Coast. More to come tomorrow. At least I’m catching up on some reading!

He "got stuck" watching Seth Meyers? I guess Musk wouldn't let him have the remote.

'Australian football’s men’s competition is the most topsy-turvey in the world - this season is one of the best I’ve seen.' www.theroar.com.au/2025/01/15/t... @rawprawn25.bsky.social @texismith.com @blaynetreadgold.bsky.social @fairplaybooks.bsky.social @gatty54.bsky.social @aleaguemen.bsky.social

Wow this weather is horrendous. Been bucketing down non stop at The Entrance. Stay safe everyone.

That’s some weather activity. Copping it here on the Central Coast.

How good is Steve O’Keeffe as an analyst on the Big Bash. He’s a natural.

Mike Charlesworth and his advisors need to stop stuffing around and sell the club to the only real buyer instead of dreaming about some super offer that isn’t coming. Stop playing games and get it done. You are hurting the club.

Half way through a truly amazing book. If you are looking for some great reading I suggest Australian Gospel by Lech Blaine. It’s a true story.

Sevco playing out dead rubbers after winning the league 3 games ago. When do they get presented with the “We Beat Celtic” trophy.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Stefan Kamasz. A wonderful servant of Australian soccer. Served in so many capacities with NSL, Football Australia, club level. A true gentleman. Proud to have called him a friend. RIP mate.

Interesting developments at the Central Coast Mariners. Hearing the CEO is gone. Meeting tomorrow re the sale of the Mariners.

Wouldn’t want to bat against Bumrah in last 30 minutes! We could be three down by stumps….

This Test is headed for a draw.
