Haha I guess not.

I hear that. Would say it fits under this definition: Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

Is that because it was “from behind” or? I’m not sure how it meets the “excessive force” criteria for serious foul play.

Would they have been reds though? I’m not so sure, but I know some weren’t happy with the lack of yellows. It definitely doesn’t haha. No football game does. Even competitive.

Yup!

“Oh rad, $10 tickets? Sweet! Oh wait…servicing fee…so, $18 ticket.”

Like, saying you would’ve killed someone? While trying to say that the Socceroos were the ones taking it too seriously? Pot calling kettle black and way too extreme. Does fit the ideology of the current regime though.

“They’re lucky it was a friendly. I was ready to go,” Richards said after the match. “And if (the ref) didn’t give me a s*** yellow in the corner, I probably would’ve killed somebody.”

The captain of the USMNT everyone. Chris Richards is a flog.

So stoked you got to enjoy!

Completely agree.

I’m starting to realise that we are actually very lucky in regards to most of our game day experiences here. Parking is a non-issue and tbh, the food isn’t actually as bad as it appears to be elsewhere.

It’s honestly a shambles that the main reason to get a country membership for Victory is to avoid Ticketek fees. GA ticket for 8 games is $240 (membership is $200), but when you add the $7.95 for every game it becomes $303 🤯

Absolute joke of a company. Can’t run a website properly, purposefully inflate ticket prices, and whack a $7.95 fee on every ticket.

Wellington Phoenix alternating sponsors for their two squads is actually really cool. Oppo for the women’s home kit and then the men’s away kit, and then Entelar Group for the reverse of those.

Rhys. @rhysshelmerdine.bsky.social · 7h

I hope so!

Rhys. @rhysshelmerdine.bsky.social · 7h

Fuck Ticketek man! It said I timed out so went back in and now I have two transactions and two tickets in my account.

Turnstile pre-sale started at 9:30 and I’m already PAX #2333

At least 3 I’d say! It’s phenomenal and will be my soundtrack for this spring/summer.

If you liked Troye Sivan’s album Something To Give Each Other, then you really really need to listen to the new Khalid album. Pronto. This is not the Young Dumb & Broke Khalid anymore.
