This guy openly laughing about the suggestion that trying to sell off the World Cup without consultation would be a resigning issue. Zero remorse, zero contrition, close to zero chance he doesn't get re-elected as it stands. Great stuff.
Two clean sheets and four points on the road for Perth Glory to start the Dub season. They won only seven points outside of Perth last year and have looked very solid defensively early. Big test awaits against Wellington next week.

Will Grigg playing in a wooden stadium is surely a health and safety concern
📝 We can confirm that Will Grigg has departed the club, joining Forest Green Rovers on a permanent basis.
The forward leaves North Derbyshire having made a momentous contribution to the club’s success in recent seasons, netting 42 times in total for the Spireites and finishing as the club’s top scorer in the National League title-winning season.
Everyone at the club wishes Griggy all the best for the future. 💙

I genuinely believe that an essential part of being a sports fan is absolutely hating your favorite team sometimes.
Horror first-half performance saw Perth Glory fall 2-1 to Brisbane Roar to remain pointless after their opening two A-League Men games.
They played a centre-back at left-back, a left-back at left wing and a CF in midfield and were punished for it.

This is one of the darkest days in the history of journalism.
What a grim opening line:
‘The new owners of the Daily Telegraph have made large numbers of staff redundant, telling them the title will be transformed from a newspaper “into a global, AI-powered premium media and intelligence business”.’

Only one club of the 48 that have played in the Championship over the last decade has made an operating profit per @valuball
Eight have made losses exceeding £200m in that period (2015/16 to 2024/25).
Four years ago, a then-teenage Junior Caminero was preparing for an Australian Baseball League summer with Perth Heat.
This weekend, the Tampa Bay Rays star looms as one of the key players in a Major League Baseball World Series.

Tom Lawrence has been hit with a four-figure fine and a one-match ban for his post-game comments after Perth Glory's Macarthur loss. The club have confirmed they intend to fight the suspension. thewest.com.au/sport/perth-g…

All of this is legitimately insane. What an incredibly cruel and humiliating thing to do.
New tonight out of New York: Knicks coaches didn’t get rings on ring night. And that’s not the only jewelry related affront to some MSG employees, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7715834…
Perth Glory coach Stephen Peters has already seen growth in his team one game into the season as they look to make it back-to-back away A-League Women wins for the first time since 2023. thewest.com.au/sport/perth-g…

Very cool that Spike Lee made it to the game after selling a monorail to Springfield
Perth Glory have signed Jay O'Shea for the rest of the season. Won't count against their quota of five foreigners because he got Australian citizenship last year. Low risk, high reward signing if it hits, even at 38 years-old. thewest.com.au/sport/a-leagu…
Can't help but think the A-League missed a trick by only allowing Mr Vader to deliver the match ball
Darth Vader will interview one NFL player participating in each Monday Night Football game on SportsCenter+
Starting on October 26.
