Do we have a squad list for the NPL side as yet? I met a young lad from Orange on the weekend who has just signed with us and would love to follow his progress

I'm just watching an old hard quiz episode with ALeague as one of the subjects. It had a question about the ball boy removing the corner flag so Cahill couldn't do his shadow boxing goal celebration. Did that kid get a life time membership?

Was that the Ben Coonan episode?

No, he did the Socceroos not A-League.

Not Ben, it was a battle of the duds and this guy was a dud, questions were very easy. Eg, he didn't know what kind of town Aurelio called Adelaide.

heading to Europe in April and wondering if anyone had recommendations on sourcing tickets - companies used or platforms

I've seen some stupid things but this was worth mentioning. Yesterday in Bunnings car park Umina a young mother was staring intently at her phone as she crossed to her car-didnt look up once. To make it worse her preschool child was walking by herself as cars were moving around

Contact the clubs direct - most EPL games are sold out and tickets are hard to come by. Lower leagues is pretty easy. Not sure about europe.

That's hilarious. Start delayed for 2 hours for high winds, then play delayed for an hour for lightening. Then it was a case of "it's just a blizzard now, we are good to go".

Given all of the data collection/heat maps and VAR in the modern game, I suppose why not?
