Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There’s not much you can say about last night’s semi. Sam Kerr is a genius. Mary had an off night. Coach Gustavsson is very over-rated. His tactical substitutions don’t work, England’s last 2 goals were terribly soft. Our midfield went missing in action and were totally outplayed. I hate to say it, but the Poms […]
I don’t always agree with my mate Peter Fitzsimons views, but on this one we are simpatico. If Sam Kerr is God, then Mary Fowler is Jesus. Bless them both, and all the Matilda’s too. What a great name for an Australian sporting team by the way. Perfect, just like our girls are. TFF has […]
The story that leaked out of Basketball Australia at the time was that it was Liz Cambage punching a Nigerian player in a workout game that lead to her expulsion from the Opals team in the week leading up to the last Olympics, and saw her cop a ban from playing for her country. Well […]
The writers don’t know what they are saying, and most of the mainstream commentators don’t too. They are all saying how great it was to see Sam take the field. Only the wise know. It was insanity. Totally and utterly unnecessary. Sam is gone, finished, kaput. Her World Cup is over, just minutes after it […]
A friend told me last night before the Matilda’s game that Tony Gustavsson was a fool. Well the Doc called him a fuckwit rhymes with runt actually, but I was being polite. I disagreed with the Doc, not because I knew anything about the Swede who is coaching our team, rather just because I like […]
All week people have been abusing me for saying the Demons are going to win the flag, and slagging me all over town. The Pies are certainties one prominent Melbourne bookie told me. Port Adelaide are all but over the line said another. A well-known trot man from Geelong forcefully asserted that the Cats are […]
Double movement is an established rugby league term and there is no specific mention in the laws of rugby union. However, we are used to seeing a penalty being awarded for a double movement whenever an attacker is ‘tackled’ before they reach the try-line, and after being brought to ground and held they make another […]
Why on earth the Australian camp kept Sam Kerr’s injury secret is a question that will be debated by a wider court of public opinion over the coming days, but from a gambling perspective it created a huge problem. Let me tell you why. In 2006 an injury to Andrew Johns prior to a match […]
I want to know what Sam Kerr is really like. So I ask Sam Kerr. What are you really like? “A bit of a rat bag,” she says. “Not naughty. Just cheeky. I’ve always been like that, especially when I was younger. I started playing for Australia when I was 15. I was so naive. […]
