UEFA has left it to the individual leagues to decide their own order of merit. If it wasn't for television revenues they would all have closed down for the year.

I heard last night that either the J League or the K League were starting up again in the next few weeks. No crowds of course but wait for it... players will not be allowed to talk on the pitch !!!

John Travolta was hospitalised for suspected COVID-19, but doctors now confirm that it was only Saturday Night Fever, and they assure everyone that he is Staying Alive.

It took you two weeks to get to my comment... have you checked the figures since my original comment at which time I think there were less than 100 cases?  The US as of today, has 4,657 recorded cases

This is NOT sport related at all, but it IS virus related in as far as being a distraction from the mundane, that will waste just one hour of your life.  I'm only posting here because there seem to be fewer and fewer entering the General Discussion forum since bare knuckle political infighting was, understandably, frowned upon. I hope the Admins see fit to allow this (if not, please feel free to delete - or alternatively, move it to be a standalone post of its own ?).

Anyway, to the reason for my post.  A few friends and myself have thrown a band together for a live stream from Sydney's Zen Studios next Sunday (10th May) from 3-4pm.  The band is called Los Tromeos & the Branch Covidians and we will be playing a bunch of rough and ready, raucous even, country and rockabilly type tunes.  And to make it releavant, two of us are Demons tragics. Here's a link to the Facebook Event if you would like to signify your interest (assuming there is any)...

Very nice hardtack, but that singer looks like a bit of a roughnut!

Looks can be very deceiving... I'm, er, I mean, he's a pussycat.

Liverpool players took a knee around the centre circle at Anfield in a message of support following the death in police custody of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Just a nice touch to this,  in support of many opressed peoples around the world really.

Missing the point Completely....

No I am not.

What the police officer did was disgraceful and he should be tried for murder and the others that were there should be charged with accessory .

There are lot of deaths caused worldwide by Governments and authorities of various countries to all races of people and nothing gets said.

Regardless of that, the current protests focus on the BLM movement.

It would be good if it was just a protest, but I would not call what is happening a protest more like anarchy fueled by groups with other agendas.

Like the peaceful sign that read yesterday in Sydney " A good cop is a dead cop "

Yeah, total anarchy by vested interest groups that have nothing to do with what happened to George Floyd. You can protest without violence, looting, arson and whatever else.

Do you think they care about CoVid right now,  when ANother black person has been Killed whilst in custody.    He didn't die.    He was killed.    And arrested firstly in a racist fashion.

 

These people ARE,  fighting for their lives. 

How many do you imagine...  have taken their own lives,  due to racisms, over the years.?

As a White Citizen it is very easy to say that...

The Current President has been putting out Fires ? with Gasoline since Charlotteville. Where he would not condone the KKK

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
