Hi BlueSkyers 👋 I’m Rachel. I’m a lifelong Fulham supporter who currently lives in Brisbane, Australia.
You’ll mainly find me trying to understand the peculiarities of Aussie sport and comprehending the English Premier League in the middle of the night. I like it here and I’m glad you are here too

I went to Fulham, a football club that wants to grow and build their revenue.
They really need to find a way of doing it that doesn't alienate matchgoing supporters and puts to an end this low-level civil war

Fulham's civil war is tarnishing everything this magnificent club once cherished
For the past five years the hunt for suits and suitors has alienated the people who matter most at Craven Cottage - the fans who stood by the club in its darkest days

Are giant cardboard sports heads an Australian thing? I am fascinated by them, and I have so many questions: How did it start? Who was first motivated by seeing a massive version of their own head in the crowd? Where do people get them printed?
*These are not giant, but they are pretty significant

This is a big thing and needs to be talked about more - that even in fully "professional" leagues around Europe, players still need to split their focus and work part-time to afford to live.
I don't think people who complain about the standards of the women's game appreciate that.

Running a nationwide league in a country the size of Australia, especially one as cash-strapped as the A-League, must result in immense pressure to get games played when scheduled. But it was pretty clear at 5 p.m. that #BRIvCCM couldn't be played safely.

Incredible scenes at Perry Park for the game between @brisbaneroar.bsky.social women and Central Coast after today's rain.
Support staff have been sweeping and scooping water from the surface since 4pm.
Original 5pm KO now delayed until 7pm!
