Should have been a penalty to Utd a couple of mins before.

That's a penalty waiting to happen though. If Lucas Neill was the defender it'd be given!

Chelsea have a good team, won’t be the first decent side to lose to them this year

Agree with you.
My angst is more that I transferred in Tottenham’s keeper and a defender two weeks ago in fantasy

Just reading up about Ben Simmons, didn't realise it was that bad. Whats the likely outcome with his contract situation?

 

[Intothewind]

Just want to congratulate Melbourne Victory. Not sure what they won, but their celebrations in the city over the last few days have been awesome!

 

[Boomerfan99]

Ouch. What a campaigner.

What do the NBA followers think - will this guy get his head straight and reach his potential?

Seems to be a big talent but consumed too early by ego and trinkets.

Uproar as all-boys netball team beats girls to win state title

An angry backlash has erupted after an all-boys netball team won a state title in Queensland by beating sides made up of female players in the decider.

www.news.com.au

Uh oh...

NRL commentator and radio host Andrew Voss said it was “bulls***” the boys team, which was undefeated throughout the tournament and boasted an average winning margin of 29 goals, was allowed to compete against the girls.

“How is that common sense?” Voss said on his SEN breakfast show. “You’re surely not going to endorse that as the way of the future, at Under-18s level.

“They say they want to be inclusive, not exclusive. That’s bulls***. It’s a farce.”

I understand the sentiment, but he is effectively saying women are inferior to men which in some circles I am sure he will get labelled as sexist.

I think some envisage "the way of the future" to redefine the concept of winning, much like the shift in education principles shifted the balance.

Nice win by the Bunnies tonight.

Manly couldn’t hold the ball and you can’t keep defending all night without cracking

While watching the Jason Horne show on my phone, had the 2nd Womens ODI v India on the tv, and it was a ripper, chased down 275 odd, after being 3-34 and a lousy total of 8 runs from Healy, Lanning, and Perry, went right down to the wire, including a review of the final over, last ball wicket, which temporarily won the game for India being called a no ball, and subsequently scoring 2 runs off the extra ball to win by a run.

Manly, shown up twice. Maybe they weren't that good ?

 

[gokangas]

Anyone watch the cricket last night? Amazing game. The girls were lucky to win in the end. Very watchable game.

Absolutely shown up twice. A bit tired too I reckon. Ah well stiff sh1t :-D

They remind me of us making finals when unable to qualify for them in the top 4. More hype and hope than substance. Good riddance to them!
