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.

Gooch was returning from injury early in the season.

She debuted for Adelaide on 13 December 2025 against Melbourne Victory.

"Lara Gooch is in-line for her United debut after being named in her first extended squad since signing with the Reds."

Gooch was injured on and off toward the end of the 24/25 season and she was not re-signed by Newcastle.

"Gooch nursed shin splints coming into the last A-League season and was also plagued by an ankle injury."

Hoping she's not injured now.

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?

I wish we could have stayed at this first version of Trump's Wikipedia page. So much has happened since this first entry on January 9, 2004. All that has taken place would have been considered inconceivable 22 years ago.

Was last night the end of Ante Juric's time at Sydney FC? It looks like that with this post match huddle.

Sydney FC remain 11th on the ladder and have now gone six games without a win.

Since both Ho Chi Minh City and Stallion Laguna were both in Melbourne City's group, they can't be drawn with City.

This leaves Melbourne City only being able to be drawn with Nasaf or Suwon.

Will it be the Uzbek or South Korean club visiting Melbourne in March?

It's sort of similar to the Joker Lap in the FIA World Rallycross Championship which adds about 2 seconds to a lap time. It's not used as a penalty though as all drivers must take it once in a race.

The starting 11 for tonight's U23 Asian Cup opening match for Australia.

Australia conceded early from a corner and the subsequent deflected shot was on target.

Thailand then went down to 10 players after a red card confirmed after a VAR check.

#AUSvTHA 0-1 after 25'

I'm curious what your thoughts might be of the #OnlyFans sponsorship.

I'm support it and appreciate them providing the funds to compete in Europe for Relph's third season in World WCR.

Relph says she's challenging stereotypes and will be posting PG-rated content related to racing.

I support women's sport and motorsport.

Tayla Relph is an Australian motorbike racer. She's competed in the World Women's Circuit Racing Championship for the last 2 years funded by small sponsors.

She's announced that for 2026 she will be sponsored by #OnlyFans

Also, I'd love to see the A-League YouTube stats on Samba related content.

I haven't seen so much viewer engagement, with lots of likes and comments on the Dub Zone videos in a while.

Samba is doing numbers for the Dub. Look at all their recent video thumbnails...

Canberra United captain, Michelle Heyman, spoke to @herwaysportsmedia.bsky.social for this exclusive.

I've seen referees identify jewellery but overlook nails. Looking at some of the nails these days, Freddy Krueger could get a start!
