Tom Glover - like all of us - has the right to be in his workplace without a flare thrown at him. No one dare blame a goalkeeper doing his job.

A no vote won’t change my life. Neither would a yes vote. And that’s the point. It’s not about MY life. It’s about their lives. That’s what it was about. And that is what is so disappointing.

After 12 years, 3 WC’s, 11 TdFs and countless amazing memories, it’s time to do something new. My time with SBS is finishing in September. Will miss the place and the amazing sport team. A special group.

in an Olympic qualifier at Coffs Harbour against North Korea. There were 2125 in attendance and about 65k watching on SBS. To see where we are now is mind blowing.

I have some BBL thoughts. This may take a few. Firstly, I’m a big test match “traditional” cricket guy. I love nothing more than settling in front of a day of the test. I loved ODI’s in the 90s and World Cups are great. T20 when it arrived was eye opening and cool. (1)

Amazed that every 4yrs we see the WC ratings and go “wow, why does the AL not get this?” The WC transcends everything. It’s like saying “1.5m million people watches the Olympic swimming. Why aren’t they watching the WC short course in Budapest?”

The point has been made elsewhere but it’s important. The decision is made for the cash so own that. The wriggling to make it seem like it’s for the fans benefit is disingenuous, and to be honest, a bit insulting.

I can’t fathom organisations that go top heavy with “talent” whilst making swingeing cuts at the storytellers, the do-ers, the people who make stuff happen, the unseen thousands. Top down will fail. Compelling content comes from the ground up.

Debates on whether we’ll get an extra 5% of newspaper coverage in summer are a waste of time. Winter, summer, Pay TV, streaming, it’s all fiddling around the edges and a waste of time. 2 sports dominate media here. And it isn’t ours. So stop thinking like that. Embrace the future

Every club has their idiot fans, and this Xhaka stuff shines a light on it. And we’re all a bit to blame by glorifying and amplifying stuff like Arsenal Fan TV which ultimately is a diatribe against a club, coach and players. We need to be better.

Our main mens footy media - both Sherrin and Steeden - need to take a long hard look at the culture that has been created and cultivated. The games themselves have issues - significant at times - and the ones who are supposed to hold them to account are often a mirror image.

$900 for 3 days at the "Man City Football School" in Sydney. $995 for 5 days at the Barca Academy. $1155 for 5 days at the Madrid Academy. Glad the parents of Australia can support these clubs in tough times.

This is high stakes for the APL now. The game has already alienated much of NSL era fanbase and the constant desire for the “theatre-goers”to embrace the league has ground the gears of many on the journey. Now it’s put the HAL generation offside. So what’s left?

Here’s the thing. The biggest impediment to growth of football is not other codes, it’s not “lack of clean air”, it’s not bad pitches or no stadia. It’s the fact there is a chasm between the pro game and the rest. Move to winter starts the process of bridging that gap.

Olyroos performance a case study for giving youth a chance domestically. Instead of recycling or throwing cash at high risk oseas/vet players, the last 12 months of challenges forced a change of strategy. Just maybe it's the right strategy.....

I was sceptical of the KeepUp strategy at launch, and didn’t enjoy some of their methods (the bait and switch YT stuff during the WWC was gross), but a further contraction of an already diminished football presence here and more lost jobs is never good. APL need a hard reset.

Rant coming....Junior (u7) football teams who are encouraging their biggest player to shoot and score from halfway in a game with no goalkeepers and celebrate each goal wildly is not doing either set of kids any good!!!

Same with this. It’s wonderful they are getting a statue. But this isn’t job done. Give that money to to a club that need equipment; a club that needs a coach; a club that needs to buy kit; a club that needs to pay for fields. Make every cent a tangible investment in the future.
The Matildas will be the first-ever women's sports statue outside Brisbane Stadium 🙌
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says her government will pay for the statue and work with Football Australia on the design.

Despite attempts to talk it down as a property, NRL’s digital arm is, from an eyeballs perspective, wildly successful. It’s a shrewd play by 9 to take a property that regular has bigger numbers than Its own out of the market.

Really tough call for the FFA/AL clubs now. Bow to the pressure and accept the demands and meander through the rest of this year and the next 3. Or back yourself and the sport and take a leap of faith. Either way the bulk of the money isn’t returning. Control your destiny.

You’d walk past Damo’s house, and his budgies would be drying on the wing mirror of his van after a morning at the beach, his house doors wide open and he’d be in his armchair watching football. And he’d always shout out that Southampton would get the win this week.

This is a simple “lack of talent” issue. The talent we have is also poorly/under-utilised. And there’s a fear in the way they play against a good team. A paralysis. At least try to win the game, go down in a fight, if you’re not good enough so be it. But don’t die wondering.
