Sure it was a handball, but surely someone should have told the referee to come back for the penalty....right...

Make it make sense. One of the worst pieces of officiating in A-League history.... How was the Sakai challenged not reviewed and straight red? And then out of nowhere VAR reviews something totally different and calls over the referee for a still shot of a hand on a throat, for which the referee...

The coverage of the A-League is awful when it comes to officiating and VAR. I have no idea what my views are about the handball incident or whether Adams was fouled in the box or 0.2 millimeters outside. If we are going to impose technology into the game like this, then at least mic up the...

How good are WCQs! Watching Congo v Jamacia and the controversy around a potential handball on the goal and not the referee has injured himself, and been substituted, at the 110 min mark

On the topic of politics, did the Prime Minister attend any of the tournament? I don't recall seeing it, but I noticed on the news that he attend Rugby League games and a GWS AFL game (seriously....) whilst the tournament was on. It is pretty concerning for both football and women's sport if...

The TV ratings were exceptional once again last night, as they have been all tournament. Not only that, it was a 9pm start on the eastern seaboard, and finishing at 11pm, for a work / school night. There is little doubt the Matilda's are a huge draw card around the country. The crowd was also...

How the f*&k did this not end up as a red card.

Ticket sales for the Matilda's game tomorrow night are awful. Given it is at HSF, I thought it would sell out straight away but there are a lot of spare seats still for sale. I am curious to know why. I am sure organisers were planning/hoping for Australia to play multiple games at Olympic...

The way in which tickets are being released for sale for this tournament is awful and frustrating. I got tickets to Matildas v Sth Korea in December and now (2 days before the game) there are tons of extra tickets getting released in much better spots then what was available back then. Appears...

Guns N' Roses gig announced for 8 December at the Stadium, along with Foo Fighters on 12 November. FFS, next season will be a mess. Hurry up and build a 15k to 20k venue somewhere in Newcastle (either within the development plan for Broadmeadow or at Speers Point).

As I understand it, he has attended in the past (or at least there is a Newcastle Herald article about it from 2018), and it is being paid for by a sponsor. Noll is playing in Newcastle in a few months so I am sure there is mutual benefit in cross promotion and would be at a reasonable cost (to...

The "relatively few people read it" excuse is such rubbish. Firstly, they do not provide the data to support such an assertion so I have no idea what "relatively few" means in terms of actual numbers or how that would compare to other topics / sports they cover more extensively. Secondly, if you...

If there is any doubt that the A-Leagues will lock in again with Paramount, and not Stan, one only needs to look at the SMH over the past few days. Despite the large crowd and wonderful spectacle, between two Sydney teams, there is not one article in the SMH about the Sydney Derby (so far as I...

No more than to say there are some interesting articles from the Australian Financial Review where he is mentioned and the interview with Greek radio makes no mention / does not address the matters raised in those articles. Without judgment, surely those articles would at least be of interest in...

"based on this". I would recommend expanding your research.
