Mattyblue Abbey and PB back… just need ‘drog😀

Then they should look at Joe Gauci from Adelaide United. He's just played a blinder tonight. Stopped shots from all over the place, taken high balls with confidence, and held the ball, when there's been no obvious outlet. 23 year old, so got plenty of time to mature. This guy is going to be one...

Have a read of what an (educated) Aboriginal man thinks. Try to read it from his perspective, you know "walk a mile in my shoes" sort of thing. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-06/trapped-spectacle-king-charles-coronation-war-waged-my-people/102307848

Here's a guy, currently playing for Adelaide United. A bit like Dolan, but hasn't had the unpredictability coached out of him. Nestory Irankunda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestory_Irankunda

"We want to score these great goals, but sometimes you just have to win duels, win headers, win tackles, get there first. We have to remember to bring both every game." No prizes for it.

Time for a new thread about scammers: just had a call from India, apparently my internet was about to go down and I had to do something about it. Anyway, after a little tooing and froing, I became a "motherfucker" about 20 times. I ended up laughing at him so much he became a little angry...

There's an article in the LT about Tony's daughter wanting fans to donate to help her with her dad's Alzheimer's. Now, I realise that this is cheap of me, but I totally refuse to put money in the coffers of any news organisation by registering. So, can someone post the link to the fund me...

A legend has passed. A man, who, to some extent changed history. Had a great chuckle, had great humility, hated no one it seemed. The world is a bit sadder for his passing.

To all Rovers fans everywhere. have a good one, lets cross our fingers and hope for the best. Enjoy the song from down under at this time.

The best bit about this one is, it's been called an "investment' by a questionable state. "Investment" to me is making money out of the deal without doing much, other than trading. I don't include asset stripping, increasing debt to fund the deal, as trading. Shoot, I'm going downhill on the...

This, in my mind is an excellent article about the difference between the AFL and the Premier League. https://www.theroar.com.au/2021/10/04/what-the-premier-league-and-its-soulless-embrace-of-capitalism-can-learn-from-aussie-rules/

Just been reading up on Lucas's post Rovers career. Shit couldn't we use someone like that now. I know a lot of people were pissed off with him leaving the way he did, but I've got to admit, I'd have done it that way too. The only thing he's guilty of, in that move, is maximizing his income. No...

Have a look at this article, it's mainly focused on the AFL, but does make some points about other codes. Something jangled in my head that this was the approach that Mowbray is attempting at Ewood. It's a longish read for an article, but an interesting insight into team based sports management...
