Is there a local/country footy community/hub/cult here on BlueSky? Footy here meaning the Aussie football.

The @themmqb.bsky.social is quickly becoming my favourite football podcast. Love the thoughtful, league-wide coverage from @conororr.bsky.social and @albert-breer.bsky.social, keeps me nicely up to date. Enjoy the occasional life/parenting chats too 😂 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Watching cycling in black and white is now my preference... we started doing it in Milan Sanremo, and now every race gets this setting.

Alright... time for an insane Julian Alaphilippe win at Amstel Gold Race, please. Ta. Thanks.

At least Pucky won the podium beer sculling...

So annoyed. Aussie coverage of Amstel didn't start until 37km to go - missed seeing Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado in the breakaway! Hope she got good TV time.

Finally got this old bike back up and going this morning...

Sneakers ruining the black and white effect.

Been getting back into football, finding podcasts a great way to stay up to date when I can’t watch (in Australia times/subscription can be prohibitive). 20 Min Tims for Celtic, @tomcanton.bsky.social’s The Gooner Talk for Arsenal, and recently found @alternativewales.bsky.social for Cymru Premier!

Really hoping that Celtic can build on this Champions League campaign for next season’s edition. Outside of one absolute hammering early on, they’ve displayed an ability to take it right up to some of the better teams in Europe. With better depth added, this can be matched and bettered.

Upcoming races will prove if Alan Hatherly is a dark horse for Strade Bianche & Flèche

The South African is back in Europe and ready for another block of road racing 🇿🇦

Finished the AlUla Tour ✅

Next up need to watch the Melbourne to Warrnambool replays ⏮

Then Tour La Provence starts in less than 48 hours! 🇫🇷

And in between times we’ll keep trying to catch up with the Biathlon World Cup season… we’re 9 races behind 😅

Hoping I can rope a few mates into playing my cyclocross board game this week… free beer might do it. 🍻 🚴

Finally caught up on all the AlUla Tour stages - what a race for Q36.5 helmed by two massive climb attacks from their key star Tom Pidcock, and finished by an awesome sprint on the final day from Matteo Moschetti! Really keen to watch how Pidcock goes the rest of the season.

We have to remember they’re crowning the “wOrLd cHaMpiOns”…
TV commentators just referred to the Super Bowl as the "world's biggest sporting event." I'm thinking the World Cup futball and Tour de France folks might disagree.

I’ve had no electricity, and therefore no internet at home for the last 25 hours… and in that time I’ve created a cyclocross board game… 😂

Starting to work out how many Victorian State and Australian National Cyclocross events I could make it to this year… all 4 rounds of the State comp are within 3.5 hours drive, and 4/8 of the National events are also within that same distance… 🤔
