I doubt the security guard noticed the Palestinian flag in the Club Deportivo Palestino crest. It's not about flags.

He's reacted to "PALESTINE" being printed on the shirt.

It appears the A-League policy on flags and shirts of national origin is never policed except for when it comes to Palestine.

Oh no!! I just read that Adelaide Head Coach, Theo Tsiounis said "Unfortunately, Lara has sustained an ankle injury at training, which will rule her out for a few weeks.” 😔😔

Gooch will miss out on playing in her home town tonight.

Adelaide United travel to Newcastle Jets home at No.2 Sportsground on Wednesday night.

Former Jet, Lara Gooch, is now at Adelaide but it's unlikely she'll be in the squad. Gooch has only played a total of 38' off the bench this #ALW season.

What's going on with Gooch at Adelaide United?

However, the game between Auckland FC & Vanuatu United - also at North Harbour Stadium - was able to take place later in the day.

last year, I was introduced to a mysterious American man who wanted to know more about the #ALeagueWomen and women's football in Australia.

as it turns out, he represented an overseas consortium looking to expand their portfolio here.

so what happened next?

Here's an update on the news that the Australian #MotoGP round could move from Phillip Island to Albert Park. Is it a realistic move? Or is it just leverage in negotations?

Did the MotoGP Riders Union ever get formed?

Might be time for a riders union if Dorna expects them to race on street circuits now that they're owned by Liberty Media.

That's never a penalty. Referee has had a howler there! Tash Prior's arms are literally in front of and against her body! A joke... the games gone... etc.

Jets have once again had several good opportunities but haven't taken them.

Hoping for a great Jets second half. ✈️
