More than 4000 of my neighbours voted for a party who think no one in my household should exist. What am I meant to do with this information? Shelter in place? #SAvotes

That hurts. Huge effort against the once and future world champions. I still think its worth seriously considering what lessons we can learn from Japan in how they've grown their football in the last 2 decades. Bring on the world cup. #JPNvAUS #WAC2026 #GoMatildas ⚽️💛💚💛

This is a brilliant, I love the juxtaposition of what the powerful would change in the past if they had the ability to with what they should change

yeah Baars doesn't include anything analogous to a script or writer in his metaphor, I suspect he'd say it is one place where the metaphor breaks down. But I don't know for sure

Should have stayed home and watered the garden

Hardly any pride merch available compared to previous years, just the scarf, didn't get the cool gk tops we've come to expect. The merch stand on my side of the pitch was closed. Had an opportunity tonight to say despite what happened with Cavallo that we are welcome at games, that they didn't...

If there's any outlet that wants to pay a queer journalist to write about what's happened in Aus football in the last 24-48 hours from a queer persons perspective/some sort of op-ed/opinion piece, I'm available and happy to write something for a reasonable rate. Please feel free to reach out via DM.

Disappointing response from the club at best. In the context of a week when they expect us to spend money on pride round merch it comes across as saying "we can't be homophobic look we're selling you rainbows." This is why people don't feel welcome #joshcavallo #justiceforjosh #coyr

#coyr you're supposed to better than this. Tough to ask us to spend extra money on pride cup merch when this is how you treat people
