fella in high school named Iain wrote his name on his book with the first two letters too close together
nickname for the last 20 years? Bin.
this Socceroos World Cup qualification campaign has been going on for so long that Mark Milligan:
• played - and captained
• retired from international football
• signed for a A-League side
• retired from club football
• became an assistant coach
• resigned from that role
Ange Postecoglou: It's a very important tournament mate. I hope Son goes and wins it, except if they're playing Australia
This guy: I hope you let your nation down
Not my manager
"I would be happy if they go out at the Group stage!" 😅

Good luck being able to get a ticket. This match will sell out, if it has not already. There'll be a minimum of 40k there, almost all of who will be Indian.
This will be a de facto away game for the Socceroos, without question.
• facing a likely a ban for the next Test for giving Steve Smith a send-off
• gives Dave Warner an almighty send-off anyway
make Kagiso Rabada the King of South Africa already

Nick Kyrgios is quite obviously the best team sport glue guy trapped in a wholly individual endeavour
quit the ATP lads and become The Woodies for a new generation
they'd outdraw singles matches in no time
The Special K's show rolls on 👊
Aussie pair @NickKyrgios and @TKokkinakis defeat Ariel Behar and Gonzalo Escobar 6-4 4-6 6-4 to advance to the

The absolute best thing about this is Rudan at the top of his mark, ready to come off the long run and go thermonuclear about the refs and the league, and instead cops a totally unrelated random question about Brandon Borrello
hey so some Personal News™
can finally confirm I'm off to Doha with

riding the wave!
We all *went* hard. We got cases down to zero while those in charge delayed - or flat-out undermined - the vaccine rollout.
And now we're back in April 2020 areas while the rest of the world has moved on.
The rubber band has been stretched - people have no more left to give.
What seems to get lost in so much of the lockdown discourse is that compliance is a finite resource. To say well we need to go harder than strictly necessary to send a message completely ignores the fact that good will from the population is key to the whole thing working.
what a season of

um yeah I'm sportsplaining because it's my career and I know more about it that you
and it's probably not wise to run at someone who a) witnessed Barty's run to
#1
in the flesh and b) forked out thousands to go and watch the women's national football team
Matt from Fox Sports & Edwin from Ch10 seem like nice blokes?
#BlokesTagTeam
Bit of sportsplaining for us about 7's Kyrgios - maybe a tantrum - more valid than World No 1 Barty televising. 🤔🙄
the more Australian thing ever is that Mike Pence went from $36, to $21, to $15 to be the next president before betting was suspended
as if the most powerful man in the world dying from a global pandemic was akin to getting scratched from Race 4 at Albion Park
One day, someone is going to finally coax the full story (lol good luck to them) out of Aaron about how he went from not playing in covid-riddled China to casually punching out a 90 and a 120-minute masterclass against UAE then Peru
The bravest, most remarkable performance 👴
Two words Tony G: not good enough 👎
He'll point to injuries and squad depth and all of that — however, we've had plenty of time to formulate a Plan B, but were too busy tonking Indonesia 18-0 with Kerr upfront

• Newtown Jets outdrawing Manly on the same day
• amazing FFA Cup Magic™ at suburban venues
the punters have spoken, and they no longer want to pay $30 (plus $6.50 booking fee) and $36 for a tray of mid-strength at some cavernous monstrosity
More people turned out for a Sydney club game on Saturday than the Waratahs’ Super Rugby quarterfinal. What’s doing?
@ChristypDoran
took to North Sydney Oval’s ‘Hillbilly Hut’ to find out:
and just desserts for the legions of eurosnobs who would sooner pony up big money to see a Newcastle United academy side instead of quality football week-in, week-out on their doorstep
Honestly I'm happy the A-League all-stars are smashing them. The league has a lot of issues, obvs, but there are a lot of quality players you can watch every week that get pretty disrespected by some 'football fans'.
Well there's not going to be an A-League in which to play a grand final in Sydney for the next 3 years, so mission accomplished lads. Good job
R16 v Argentina was under two weeks ago. Two weeks!
Two weeks from "let's harness this momentum" to "we cannot come back from this" 🤷♂️
Absolutely cannot wait for this. There's no-one you'd rather have representing and presenting the sport to a mainstream audience that has had no exposure to Australian football. He's going to impress thousands.
Good luck to the other four who'll have to slip a word in edgeways.
There's no return date for the A-League, and there's uncertainty around the league's relationship with broadcaster Foxtel. Adelaide United's Director of Football and former A-League player Bruce Djite joins the

amazing how Uber Eats has transitioned from "get your favourite gourmet meals from your favourite local restaurants delivered right to your humble abode!" to "here's your shit Maccas breakfast at double the price you lazy hungover cunt"
I'll be taking a much needed mental health sabbatical over Christmas (and enjoying my first full weekend off in approximately 8 years) but will still be sniffing around sports/television/sports television in some capacity
with the January transfer window just around the corner, it's time to break some signing news
regrettably, I won't be continuing with the Fox Football team going forward
