Half time and #MVFC hold a nil-1 lead. A tough contest out there so far so anything could happen in the 2nd half. #SYDvMVC

Given his unpunished foul earlier, Rhyan Grant should be taking an early shower. 🟥 #SYDvMVC

Juan Mata! Top corner, up where the spiders live. Nish wins the free kick and Mata curls it over the wall and into the corner. Set piece brilliance: and a huge smile from Juan. #SYDvMVC

I get the feeling Nish is a confidence player. If he can get a goal or two, he might go on to play with greater freedom.

Probably the best #MVFC have looked in the final 3rd, all season. Seven shots on target, but no goals yet. As per all season. #SYDvMVC

'No way' Iran’s women footballers can return, as calls grow to protect them in Australia The Iranian women's football team is facing an impossible situation. Return home, and possibly face punishment from the Islamic Republic regime for its silent protest, or stay in Australia and their f...

Warshawsky denys Sydney, with a low diving reflex save! #SYDvMVC

The lead up play by #MVFC to set up Rawlins for a shot on goal, was sublime. Lovely sequence of passing - sadly not rewarded with a goal. #SYDvMVC

*no time*

Three plump red chilis, resting on a concrete bench surface.

Autumn bush administration completed. The Boston ivy has been trimmed so it's free of the neighbour's guttering, and neatly edged. And the super vigorous rocoto chili has been given a severe Brazilian - and yielded some nice mature chilis. It will grow back, Triffid like, in not time.

These people are fucking dimwits and they embarrass us as a species.

In football manager terms, this is the equivalent of a Saturday morning "...the manager has the full support of the board..."; before an afternoon loss to a lower ranked team. #NekMinnit

Domestic order has been restored (and I never cease to be amazed at how filthy the mop bucket water ends up). Time for more #coffee and some 日本語 practice. Then, after lunch, some bush administration in the garden.

Got a 40km dawn circuit of the city done. A couple of shots of #espresso to the good... Time to conduct a domestic blitz.

Serious networking!

Speedo is pretty much the default brand for serious swimmers here in Australia. For lap swimming you need the brief profile, board shorts feels like towing a sea anchor.

‘Wartime traitors’: Iran state TV condemns women’s football team for anthem silence Iranian commentators have warned the lives of Iran’s national team “are in imminent danger”.

there is a very real public threat to the lives of Iran’s women’s national team players after state media accused them of being “wartime traitors” for refusing to sing the anthem. surely @ausgov.bsky.social cannot allow these players to return to Iran?!

Wear comfortable shoes. It's standing in the asphalt car park next to the Palais. Was there on Monday evening for Grace Jones and it's a bit tiring. There is some seating, but it's at a right angle to the stage. Enjoy the evening!

@thegoodbuck.eurosky.social I reckon this might be of interest to you. It would be good to see more EV trucks out on the Hume and Western highways. A number of cities already getting electric buses into their fleet (hello Adelaide!).

Comedy gold. 🤣

Eleven minutes worth, in fact. Still nil-4... #IRNvAUS #AFCAsianCup

Soooo much stoppages... #IRNvAUS #AFCAsianCup

The 'Tillies go up nil-4 with Allanah Kennedy heading home Van Egmond's corner. #IRNvAUS #AFCAsianCup

Losing a lot of this match to VAR, though favouring Iran. Who have started the 2nd half in a more compact block, sitting deeper to leave less space in behind. #IRNvAUS #AFCWAC

Once a grifter, always a grifter. Absolutely no regard for ordinary taxpayers, as long as she's enriching herself.

Could we maybe keep Francesca, and send Anthony away instead? Asking for a friend...

Could be the local federation are looking at it. Wrong time of the season, but a couple of players might want to look at playing in the ALW or NPL.

Sam Kerr made it nil-4, just before half time. Until VAR review makes the offside call, and the goal is struck off. Got to feel for Iran tho... #IRNvAUS #AFCAsianCup

Keeper of the Flame - A film from 1942 warning Americans how democracy can be dismantled from the inside. This scene was written during World War II. Watch how calmly the plan is explained. Ask yourself why it still feels current today.

Got to hand it to the Iranian women's team for showing up at all. Doubtless circumstances back home for them must be really difficult. And concerns about current events would be preying on their minds. I would not be surprised if a few were looking at opportunities to remain after the #AsianCup.
