Seeing as how they spend so much money on securing the broadcast rights to the Olympics, and how the Games only come by every four years and go for only two weeks, I reckon Seven could maybe give eight year old repeats of Border Security a rest from 7Mate for a couple of weeks.

Professional eavesdropper. I only consider you scum compared to Krusty. Former this, ex-that.
- Replying to @Quartermain10 @Socceroos and 2 othersEven if rugby league was indigenous to Australia (it's not), soccer was being played regularly in Australia over 20 years before rugby league began being played here.
- The year is 2058. Australia has qualified for the 190 team World Cup, to be held in the tax haven of Curacao. FFA is still pondering whether to select Tim Cahill for the squad, even though Cahill is 78 years old, and he's dead.
- When disaster strikes, Australian soccer fans get the chance to do the one thing we truly excel at: place the blame on the targets we already hated. Current or former coach, this or that curriculum, self-interested A-League or greedy grassroots, player A or player B.
- All the best to Ange at Celtic. Much talk about his philosophy, and the way in which he rebuilds and reinvents teams. But perhaps his greatest achievement was reinventing himself, after failure, ridicule, and obscurity seemed to have consigned him to football oblivion.

- Post A-League-Football Australia separation, FA were a penalty shootout away from a $9 million hole. Instead they end up with $13 million in prizemoney thanks to making the round of 16, and the A-League is meeting the NSW government in a dark alley to sort out its money problems.
- After sixteen years, it's probably the right time to wrap up South of the Border. To quote a now classic piece of post-NSL @smfc terrace comic miserableness, "we had a good run". southmelbournefc.blogspot.com/2023/12/so-lon…
- Old Soccer: picking players for the national team because the coach will get a cut of his transfer fee. New Football: picking Cahill for the national team because he's the only player that corporate Australia knows and can therefore market.
- I want Ange to do a full Costanza, quit his job and then turn up to work the next day like nothing happened.
- This is magic. It's the compete opposite of every dull local paper sports interview you've ever read. I love this kid. sheppnews.com.au/@sport/2019/03…
