Hearing the beautiful old ornate stand at the Morwell Falcons stadium is to be replaced the the brutalist structure in the 2nd pic. So sad - surely a part of the games history can be brought up to date & saved?

Let’s hope today is the day. It’s long overdue.

Some news for those who have asked…sadly, The Global Game won’t be returning to the airwaves, at least for now. I believe the show has been unable to secure sponsors. This is where ⚽️ is in Australia, unfortunately. Thanks to all who listened & all our contributors 👍

Football Australia has submitted an EOI to host the (Men’s) Asian Cup in 2031, as a stand-alone bid.

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

All things considered (especially as the AL is largely ignored by mainstream media), these figures aren’t too bad. A couple still need a lot of work, but these numbers would be the envy of large parts of Asia…which is where we are, not Europe…

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

So, no Canberra in the ALM for 25/26, and the ALW team will need to resolve its funding issues soon, as they want to lock in the schedule by the end of March. Disappointing, but not surprising, given the silence of late. APL still hopeful of 26/27 for the ALM’s.

⚽️ in Australia is 150 years old (at least) in 2025 - the 1st officially recorded game being in Goodna in Aug 1875. Any plans to commemorate/celebrate this @footballaustralia @footballqueensland?

Interesting that whenever the moronic mango has a big day in the US (election/inauguration), there follows some fairly wild fluctuations in followers/algorithms at the other place. Time to start building here methinks. #Bots #I’mnotAmerican

Paddy Kisnorbo quits as Melbourne Victory coach to take up “an overseas opportunity” - Arthur Diles in charge for Saturdays derby. Odd timing…

I couldn’t watch @the-matildas.bsky.social tonight, as I was calling Sydney FC’s game, but just a shout out to Clare Polkinghorne. A wonderful contribution to our game, given a fitting send-off in her home state. Now, about Polkinghorne Park…well done, Polks! 👏

Plenty of ⚽️ on Network 10 tonight - the @the-matildas.bsky.social v Brazil & Eastern v @sydneyfootballclub.bsky.social in the ACL2 on 10 Play. ⚽️ 📺

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

So let me get this straight - $500m for Perth (State) & $600m for PNG (Fed), for a sport making $120m in profits in 2yrs? What did ⚽️ get for hosting a World Cup? Half a tin roof in Adelaide, a training ground in Melbn, and a few new ladies bogs. Righto.

Another very odd WCQ that typifies the Socceroos group. Australia largely in control (without being spectacular), missing big chances…inexplicably finding themselves behind…then finding a get out of jail equaliser. As with Saudi…disappointment or relief? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Simon Hill @simonhill1894.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Interesting selection by Popa - 6 changes…big chance to take control of 2nd spot, with Indonesia having beaten Saudi…a real group of surprises…

Unfortunately, this will happen again & again, right across the country, until clubs have their own stadiums.

Thought I’d give this a try…X is increasingly baffling, while Threads appears to be just lists of “the best things” or “things I don’t like” - is this any better? 🤔
