Eden Hazard deliberately kicked a ball kid and got 3 weeks.

There's the standard for a deliberate act

Not that we expect the FFA to follow standards. If they did, then Victory and Wanderers would’ve lost a pile of points last season.

What's up with Adelaide guys and the Tex Walker 80's pr0n stache??

Watching Ormsby try to win his first European Tour event

 

[AmericanCrow]

Jesus he missed

 

[AmericanCrow]

Win is a win is a win

Congrats to Ormsby

It's Movember, raising money for men's health.

Agreed the ball boy shouldn’t be invited back. Was very unprofessional from him.

Cheating is heavily ingrained in the sport

 

[Deaneus!]

Have finally seen the footage

Very strange

Marrone ran into him

The kid turned away to not give him the ball, then went down like Kim Kardashian before she was famous

The an all-in not-brawl occurs

What a mess

So... Shaun Marsh?

 

[hey shorty]

So... Shaun Marsh?

For his BOG performance he got to pick his brother for the next test

An allrounder who has hardly been bowling & doesn't have a batting technique that holds up at test level.

So... Shaun Marsh?

Nearly got his average above 40.

Never doubted his ability to score a ton... just a pity he is so inconsistent.

Deserved MOM.

Somewhat fitting that this week is Disney round in the NBL as the officiating reaches a new low

Twitter exploding with numerous players calling out the standard of the 'officiating'.

More a reflection on the joke that is WTC that the only channel that can be bothered with it is ESPN (and that’s probably after they were promised Woodforde to the Christmas party )

And they thought they were getting Woodbridge

Why is it a joke ??

No one is claiming it to be a serious tournament

Yet every other state gets a serious tournament (even Hobart gets a WTA event).

The fault is this government's for allowing Memorial Drive to fall into a shambles.

Hewitt has campaigned for years to get something done and was even willing to pony up his own coin

The latest plan for a 6,000 seat arena looks good for a tennis only stadium (and hopefully we can pinch one of the ATP/WTA events from Brisbane if it goes ahead).

I’d rather a 12-15k multi purpose arena for the site though. Have a ATP/WTA event in January than have it replace Priceline/TSA/AEC for other events for the rest of the year.

Might even be worth letting Tennis SA take a small share in the SMA and have it as a SMA operated arena.

Pakistan 8/33 chasing New Zealand's 257

Were 6/15 at one stage!

Gutsy draw by Adelaide United with 3 debutants against a full strength league leader Sydney.

Well, well, well... Nick Kyrgios might win us back yet
