A little clarity : Why no CK ?

The “Captain Kickass” thing started as an online handle for web forums that dates back 20+ yrs. It evolved into an alter ego. Which overlapped IRL. By day, I’m mild mannered Damo. Elsewhere, I’m CK … sometimes.

These days, authenticity is gold. I’m embracing change.
The sporting “hot take” in recent times has descended into a tiresome blast of voices driven by desperate engagement farmers trying to confect impressions. Quite frankly, I’m tired of it.

How do I tell HR that ending work from home is bad for morale because I benefit from the unspeakable things my wife does to me while I’m on break ?

Football Dad life has healed me in ways I never knew I needed.

It’s such a complete pleasure to watch your child chase their dreams and live in heaven at the same time while they’re pushing themselves to levels beyond what they thought they were capable of.

Incredibly proud of him.

If I could ever solve the riddle of why my PTSD brain can perform the optimum military levels of execution during a full blown crisis but fail me with irritation over mundane daily minutiae like toaster settings or loved ones indulging in 3rd party drama, I’d unlock superpowers.

I’m still madly in love with Djed Spence. It makes me happy seeing old loan players happy. #nffc #thfc #IPSTOT

Elon Musk could’ve ended world hunger with his mammoth wealth but he turned down the opportunity to be a philanthropist of the ages and instead he called everyone who isn’t a billionaire “pigs”.

5 years ago, I had a 12yo kid on my hands who wanted to resume football & get better at it.

Today, I watched a 17yo kid tackle, fight & rattle a whole squad of grown ass 1st grade men, and spark a comeback to turn a 4-1 deficit into a 4-4 draw in the space of 30mins.

I’ve created a monster. 😋

Spurs fans who don’t appreciate Ange are the dumbest. It irritates me on a cellular level and I don’t even support them. I get your frustrated after your trophy drought but if you can’t stop to enjoy that Sarr goal then you simply can’t be helped … #EPL

#Hottest100 maths : Take song “x”, multiply by number of appreciative discernible fans (n), divide by number of voters submitting “block votes” (or they’ll do votes) as fillers for their 10 songs (q) = this is why previous winners Glass Animals finished in consecutive order (72&73) in the poll.

Ms12’s first #Hottest100 … very happy little lady here singing her heart out to Gracie Abrahams. Her first ever dose of “SHOULDABEENHIYA !!!”

The lineups are out.
4231 vs 4231.
Mano e mano.

They’ll need to be at their best to win it.
We can’t afford to be anything less either.

Whatever happens … it’s just fucking nonsense that we’re even here compared to where we were 3 years ago.

It’s the perfect script.

Somebody hold me !

And it extends to the other side of the planet !

We’re in Sydney. I got my lad hooked on #nffc when high school started 5yrs ago. I became a fan in the 90’s because of a mate whose Dad emigrated & was a junior talent in 70’s.

We’ve all endured the lean times. Just so happy for so many people. 😊
It's not about the title, or even Europe. It's about seeing smiles in that crowd, in our little city with its bankrupt council, years of neglect and nowt else to cheer for. It's about having a laugh instead of a whinge, and going to bed with fingernails left. It's about us, for once. You REDS. #NFFC

Can’t … stuck watching Indian cricket fans throwing blame darts around trying to find the bullseye. #AUSvIND

Hi folks,

I would very much like to end the year by wishing YOU the absolute best for 2025.

May your greatest wins be the ones over yourself. Rewrite the rules. Go and enjoy the good things. You deserve it. 😉👊🏼🤘🏼

If early 2000’s pop punk vibes are your thing then this song is a worthy addition to any playlist you’ve got … Can’t believe it has less than 1K views !!!

If the cricket gods are just, Konstas will run Kohli out with a direct hit on single figures and tell him to get fucked when the review is confirmed. #AUSvIND
