He has since worked as a reporter and editor with organisations including Fox Sports, Fairfax, AAP, The AP and ACP magazines, covering four Olympics, three FIFA World Cups and WC's in cricket and rugby. Favourite team: Arsenal. Favourite question: 'Did you even watch the game?'

Missed out on the standing area, just to the side now. Will make my voice heard though
A-League finalists all have worthy championship narratives – except the club nobody likes
‘Support’ or ‘endorse’ are not the right words here. Nor is it hypocrisy for us to run videos of something and then carry an opinion piece decrying it. I personally hate this, and feel the same about MMA, boxing and other brutality ‘sports’. But this site isn’t my personal plaything, or anyone’s.

Booked today. RBB active standing and the two bays either side were sold out already.

The videos are popular. Most of them are sent into us by amateurs. I thought this was an excellent opinion piece from Geoff. Fantastic read.

I’m not saying that either, just a post match observation

No, this was well after the game, when he walked over to where we were standing and the RBB did the ‘who do you sing for’. I’m not saying he was sulking, but he looked a little bored to be honest

Had a great night in Campbelltown in the away active area and the celebrations with the players afterwards were particularly enjoyable, especially seeing some of the Wanderers’ players join in the ‘F–k the Victory” chant as they were serenaded.
Did notice that Juan Mata didn’t look very happy, perhaps understandably.

I don’t know. A few of the commenters here have thanked us for the “enjoyable read”. That feels pretty good to me. I guess more of readers still consider him to be less of a waste of space than you perhaps?
