I rewatched Logan a few months ago and what he did as a sick, frail old man in that film is so arresting I genuinely think he should have received an Oscar nomination for it. RIP

. @thepfa has released a statement signalling it is supporting Perth Glory in its appeal of Tom Lawrence’s suspension and fine. Auckland has declined similar support for Sam Cosgrove “…disproportionate and FA is taking an overly officious approach to disciplining players.”

This guy openly laughing about the suggestion that trying to sell off the World Cup without consultation would be a resigning issue. Zero remorse, zero contrition, close to zero chance he doesn't get re-elected as it stands. Great stuff.

📝 We can confirm that Will Grigg has departed the club, joining Forest Green Rovers on a permanent basis. The forward leaves North Derbyshire having made a momentous contribution to the club’s success in recent seasons, netting 42 times in total for the Spireites and finishing as the club’s top scorer in the National League title-winning season. Everyone at the club wishes Griggy all the best for the future. 💙 🔗 shorturl.at/uDpju #Spireites

Horror first-half performance saw Perth Glory fall 2-1 to Brisbane Roar to remain pointless after their opening two A-League Men games. They played a centre-back at left-back, a left-back at left wing and a CF in midfield and were punished for it. thewest.com.au/sport/soccer/…

I know the club has been carefully managing Kucharski and De Abreu who both had foot injuries (metatarsal and stress fracture) in pre-season, and Freney missing through illness with Nieuwenhof injured didn't help. Wasn't his fault out of position but Despotovski was a non-factor.
