Used to write and talk a bit about football. Still does, sometimes. Occasionally comes out with an ill-informed opinion that's all his own

Fantastic shot. Fantastic match. Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic day.

Fantastic performance. And think they’ve converted a new fan. Daughter has immediately asked if she can go back. Might have to warn her that 4-0 isn’t a regular score…

WEEKEND BOXSET: blog.sofpodcast.com/2023/04/… The theme of this week’s Boxset seems to be last gasp managerial changes to rescue what remains of the season. Also, @gafootbl returns for the final weekend of the regular season of the A-League Men, and the A-League Women’s Grand Final.

The 8th (EIGHT) tier of the English football Pyramid. Over 2000 tickets sold in less than a day. There’s an awful lot of things not to be proud of about this country atm, but the depth and variety of its football heritage and culture is not matched anywhere else in the world.
🚨 SOLD OUT 🚨 We can confirm that there are no more tickets available online as we have hit capacity! Thank you to everyone who played a part in this astonishing number of tickets sold 🤯 See you all on Sunday 🦢 #SwansRise

Mariners v City isn’t disappointing. No goals but hugely watchable.

Proud parenting moment today. Got home and found daughter had used her pocket money to buy her first football magazine. Mostly for the whistle and key ring tbf, but even so…

SCENES WITH WORLDIE WINNER Absolute scenes at Christie Park, 4-2 down against the Wollongong Wolves and NWS Spirit FC pull a rabbit out of a hat – And what a way to secure all 3 points with this stunner and winner courtesy of Richie Darko as the Spirit run out 5-4 victors.

Ok, has anybody else noticed that Twitter has started following random people for them. A whole heap of people in my timeline I have no recollection of ever seeing, let alone following. Sure they’re lovely people, but can I stick to my bubble please?

To make up for the loss of programming, BBC One has now scheduled the film 'Sully' to follow the shortened MOTD. 'Sully' is a film about a plane that crashes into the Hudson river.

Unbelievable. Fiji Drua have shocked the Crusaders at home after looking like another heartbreaker following last year. 24-27 vs Highlanders, 2022 34-35 vs Chiefs, 2022 Now, 25-24 vs Crusaders, 2023. Seriously, how did Super Rugby not bring Fiji into the competition earlier?!

There have been some classic Big Blues. Tonight wasn’t one of them. Neither Sydney nor Victory are very good sides.

Have linos throw in the ball, AFL style. No reason other than it’d be funny.
If you could make 3 changes to the A-League what would they be? Mine would be: -Introduce Pro/Rel -Appropriately sized stadiums -Bin off Marquee Stratergy #aleague

More seriously: appropriate stadiums promotion- relegation Not needing to sell a kidney to afford kids soccer fees (not an A League problem per se but is a long term issue if talent is priced out of the game)

I've never known a #WALvENG build-up like this. Typically, 48 hours before hand, I will have whipped myself up into an anti-English rage, frothing over all manner of injustices - both genuine & perceived. Whereas this time, I just feel jaded, disoriented by the WRU shitshow.

Was luckily enough to bump into Motty at the Gare du Nord in Paris during the 2016 Euros. He was everything you expect of the man. He redefined football commentary in England, a fact that is apparent by the number of commentators who have styled their delivery on his. #RIPMotty
