Used to write and talk a bit about football. Still does, sometimes. Occasionally comes out with an ill-informed opinion that's all his own

@DrRPG_TV @OfficialECFC I’ll give it a day or two because I don’t like acting in haste, but am seriously weighing up my Trust membership and saying that is that.

[Gary Andrews @gafootbl]

@DrRPG_TV @OfficialECFC Agreed. I stupidly looked at the comments in reply. Apparently it’s all fine because we’re snowflakes and it’s grist to the banter mill. Not sure I want to be part of this anymore.

@DrRPG_TV @OfficialECFC I get the 6-0 drubbing (nothing to play for, injuries), but the players’ POTY award has left me deeply uncomfortable. First time I’ve thought about reconsidering my Trust membership.

[Gary Andrews @gafootbl]

Fantastic shot. Fantastic match. Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic day.

Taking the lead.

Fantastic performance. And think they’ve converted a new fan. Daughter has immediately asked if she can go back. Might have to warn her that 4-0 isn’t a regular score…

WEEKEND BOXSET: https://t.co/c8bxoi7ag9
The theme of this week’s Boxset seems to be last gasp managerial changes to rescue what remains of the season. Also, @gafootbl returns for the final weekend of the regular season of the A-League Men, and the A-League Women’s Grand Final.

The 8th (EIGHT) tier of the English football Pyramid. Over 2000 tickets sold in less than a day.

There’s an awful lot of things not to be proud of about this country atm, but the depth and variety of its football heritage and culture is not matched anywhere else in the world.

This is the coldest thing I've ever seen

[Gary Andrews @gafootbl]

Mariners v City isn’t disappointing. No goals but hugely watchable.

Proud parenting moment today. Got home and found daughter had used her pocket money to buy her first football magazine. Mostly for the whistle and key ring tbf, but even so…

SCENES WITH WORLDIE WINNER

Absolute scenes at Christie Park, 4-2 down against the Wollongong Wolves and NWS Spirit FC pull a rabbit out of a hat – And what a way to secure all 3 points with this stunner and winner courtesy of Richie Darko as the Spirit run out 5-4 victors.

Here’s this week’s cartoon to baffle UK readers (and let’s face it, quite a few Australian ones): https://t.co/uW4gzdCpAI

Ok, has anybody else noticed that Twitter has started following random people for them. A whole heap of people in my timeline I have no recollection of ever seeing, let alone following. Sure they’re lovely people, but can I stick to my bubble please?

@jsvickery A thing of absolute beauty that’s sadly unavailable in Australia.

[Christy Doran @ChristypDoran]

Unbelievable. Fiji Drua have shocked the Crusaders at home after looking like another heartbreaker following last year.

24-27 vs Highlanders, 2022
34-35 vs Chiefs, 2022

Now, 25-24 vs Crusaders, 2023.

Seriously, how did Super Rugby not bring Fiji into the competition earlier?!

[Gary Andrews @gafootbl]

@SoundOfFootball I feel this is something we need to play

[Gary Andrews @gafootbl]

@Gatty54 The other thing to look at is the cost of commodities. If it rapidly costs more to grow veg, build houses, make cars, etc, that’s not a good thing. But how you actually tackle that… 🤷‍♂️ much of this is as much global as local, although the mortgage market looks terrifying rn

[Gary Andrews @gafootbl]

@Gatty54 The RBA can argue that inflation is still too high as is discretionary spending, hence need to continue tightening. Other counter arguments are that we’re yet to see the full impact of rate rises so it’s prudent to pause and measure; or that spending is more at the wealthy end
