Sydney\’s announcement of ex-Victory and Avondale attacker Elvis Kamsoba has caught absolutely everybody by surprise, including me. For all A-League viewers, Kamsoba was a bit of a running joke. A running joke in our most hated rivals who finished dead last in the 2020/21 A-League season. When he was released by Victory at the end of…

Australian Football and Homophobia

The Redders Dead Redemption

Matildas, Heroic Failure, and Progress
So, Australia is out of the World Cup after losing on penalties to Norway in the second round. This has been an interesting tournament to watch for Matildas supporters, with some stunning highs, and now agonisingly deep lows.I\’ve been pretty critical of Australian football for how we seem to approach international tournaments, and particularly how…
Accessibility & Supporter Culture
I\’ve recently come back from a week long trip back to my ancestral homeland England, and managed to sneak in two Fulham games in that period.
