Here’s a little story I wrote for @TheRoarSports ...you might want to read it note for note... “The VAR has disrupted football in Australia, but it’s distracting us from the main issue” #Referee #VAR #ALeague theroar.com.au/2017/12/23/va…

First the Jets - now Sydney. AL clubs have become so accustomed to not getting much media attention, that they seem genuinely spooked when someone writes a story. Shoot it down by all means if it’s untrue - but ⚽️ journalists (all 3 of them!) are killing the game? 🤦♂️

Nicolas Jackson rarely looked an elite-level striker at Chelsea. Decent goal record, 30 in 81, but missed a lot of chances and got caught offside a lot. Jackson offside every 98 minutes at Chelsea (PL). At Villa, only every 128 minutes (PL). Reunited with the alchemist Emery. Decision-making improved. Emery filled him full of belief. Jackson knows how much Emery rates him.
Worked together for a season at Villarreal, where Emery improved Jackson’s positioning and made his runs more targeted and effective. Reunited, Jackson has 7 goals in 11 already under Emery at Villa. So hard-working, pressing, holding ball up, linking (well with McGinn and Manzambi) and scoring goals like that against Manchester City. Wrong-footed Anderson, gave Donnarumma no chance. Giving Guehi an uncomfortable time. #AVLMCI #AVFC
3 & 4 – Aston Villa are the first side to win three successive Premier League games against Manchester City since Liverpool in December 2016 and the first to win four successive home league matches since Spurs in February 2023.
Heroes.

Another Emery masterclass 🤝
Where does he rank in current Premier League managers? 🤔

Points for not going on your phone while at a match? 😮📵
Borussia Dortmund have started an initiative where fans who unlock their phones as infrequently as possible at their stadium will earn points and have the chance to win prizes 🎁

Borussia Dortmund te PREMIA si NO usas el teléfono en el estadio.
El club negriamarillo integró en su aplicación el "Modo Aficionado". Al activarlo, la app te mide el tiempo que la pantalla permanece bloqueada en medio de los partidos.
Los fanáticos acumularán puntos por cada minuto que no usen sus teléfonos (salvo en el entretiempo). Luego del partido, los que tengan más puntos pueden optar a premios en los que se incluyen camisetas y distintos vales para la tienda oficial.
La idea surge de una encuesta que mostró que el 63% de los fanáticos usan los teléfonos con regularidad en las gradas, según BILD. Y el objetivo es volver a los momentos auténticos en el estadio sin distracciones.
Cuando hacen las cosas bien, hay que aplaudir.

The public brawl over the politics (or otherwise) of Helen Haines’s attacker verges on the obscene. Much of it whipped up by the usual media suspects, of course, but also by the bots and trolls on social media. It’s disgusting and, beyond that, utterly worthless. And you watch: this post, too, will attract a slew of loonies.

NOW: Haaretz, citing White House sources, states that the United States is shifting in favor of a preemptive strike on Iran.
The reason? Because Hegseth has new intelligence that was given to him by Bibi Netanyahu after his surprise visit to Israel.
You’ve GOT to be kidding me…

Tom Skerritt was pure class; every time he stepped in front of a camera, he delivered.
Once described as a “character actor locked in a leading man’s body,” he made it all look effortless.
Rest easy, Viper.

BREAKING: Iran has reportedly activated its "dead hand" doctrine as Iranian officials now believe a joint U.S.-Israeli attack is imminent and have instructed the country’s armed forces to directly activate the decentralized “Mosaic Defense” doctrine, with commanders reportedly receiving extensive lists of U.S. economic and political targets to strike if war erupts, per Fars News.
The activation shifts Iran's military to 31 autonomous provincial commands, designed to ensure devastating retaliatory strikes can be launched even if central leadership is decapitated in a first wave of attacks. Tehran is pre-authorizing field commanders to fire without waiting for orders from the top.
It comes as Trump says the U.S. is "not negotiating" and "something will happen soon," Washington orders the complete evacuation of its embassy staff from the Gulf, and the IRGC claims to have struck seven vessels in a single night. The region is now on a hair trigger for total war.

Stallone hated the 3-hour rough cut of First Blood so much he considered buying and destroying the negatives.
His fix: cut almost all his own dialogue and let the supporting cast carry the tension.
He later said he “wouldn’t change a thing.”

I would never say that @barneyronay is wasted writing about sport because I lap his stuff up. But this is also superb on the politics and sociology of PSG in a rioting Paris
