@ChiChi_DaLour @S11E11B11A This is a desperate act. Kids ARE killing themselves because they are being bullied, there is no help for them and it must stop. Since she posted this, love has come from everywhere and maybe that will be enough to give this little boy some hope and stop the hate.

@SueKennedy19 I’ve noticed that. I’m happy we’re splitting the trip home - a week in Honolulu to do nothing but lie on a beach.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

@SueKennedy19 Yeah - We left Sydney at 9.40pm New Years Eve, travelled for 19 hours, got here 10.30pm New Years Eve. So bizarre! Been here almost 24 hours now.

@sararamirez you fill my head with The Story. A song for the times, sung with such raw emotion, filled with love and hope. An anthem for today and anthem for all. #loveislove

@uppy01 @skillacq @ImSporticus @informal_sport @joeypeters10 @YSSummit2019 @aikfotboll @markstkhlm You are not wrong, roundtable free talk instead of 280 characters.

I think my fave thing about kids playing sport is that they dont think inventive, innovative, predictable and so on. They just play it and why I love the renewed push for free play.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

@live4footy Yeah... short answer is you don’t.

Sport SHOULD be fun before all else - from grass roots to the highest level of elite.....otherwise it’s nothing more than a chore or a job.

@uppy01 @skillacq @ImSporticus @informal_sport @joeypeters10 @YSSummit2019 @aikfotboll @markstkhlm 1/2... Hmmm, guess it depends on the coach’s motivations-a whole conversation in itself. I feel that the ‘correct’ way to play means predictable it becomes too predictable. How can there be inventiveness, innovation on the field if everyone plays the same way?

@uppy01 @skillacq @ImSporticus @informal_sport @joeypeters10 @YSSummit2019 @aikfotboll @markstkhlm 2/2... youngest is considering an individual sport but I doubt my eldest will ever go back.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

@uppy01 @skillacq @ImSporticus @informal_sport @joeypeters10 @YSSummit2019 @aikfotboll @markstkhlm Eldest gave up 3 years ago at 15, and youngest played is last season this year in u16s. We love watching youths play sport, they can be so inventive in their movements, but instead are being criticised back to the ‘correct’ way to play.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

Kids in sport - need to bring back the fun.

[Mark Upton @uppy01]

Climbed back on the blog-posting horse...starts on a sour note re: youth sport but concludes with a more hopeful stance by referencing the initiatives of @skillacq, @ImSporticus, @informal_sport, @joeypeters10, @YSSummit2019, @aikfotboll & @markstkhlm

@TrudyMcIntosh @KKeneally @Barnaby_Joyce Whilst Joyce is rotten to the core with these heartless sentiments, I wish you had not condemned him using the words ‘they’re dead, isn’t that enough?’ For they’re families it’s everything. Put some heart into your comments and condemn him, but remember them.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

@joeypeters10 Talent ID is happening too early, players are being rejected before they’ve even begun because of arrogant subjectivity. It is so sad to see kids walk away from sport (football in this case) because they don’t score like Kerr/Cahill or stop like Williams/Ryan by the age of 12.

@KTHopkins Just so you know, cause it does not seem that you do, you can only abdicate if your are a current monarch actually ON the throne. Meghan can never abdicate. Horrendous that you are proud to be the ‘biggest bitch’ (read racist) in the UK, but you’re a bit of a dope as well.

@michaelschweitz @60Mins No, not what passes for entertainment. @60mins USED to be journalism, now it is full of gutter trash. This is not Oz talking, this is @channel9 giving a voice to @karlstefanovic that we just don’t want to hear. To the man, the show, the station - 🖕#boycott60minutesaustralia

@theLott I’ve been trying to buy tickets for an hour! Password wrong (it’s not) reset password, save password, try to logon, password wrong. It’s a wicked cruel roundabout!! #powerball #thelott

@SethMacFarlane That ending was genius! Legit, been a long time since I was truly gobsmacked by a show. ‘...but what does that mean??!!’ over and over.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

@VirginAustralia shout out to Kristina Markovitz who did everything humanly possible for me today at Syd International . I will have a great holiday made better because of you. Thank you.

[Maureen May @mozmay]

@SueKennedy19 So glad you had a great time. It looked like an amazing adventure.
