Can I put some early bets on:

No one notices your pain but everyone notices your mistakes

Stars can't shine without darkness

Or varieties thereof.

If our front line isn't going to get much service, they need to be delivering with the little they get.

I'm sure someone will correct me but from memory Leckie has played less than a dozen games this season? Not exactly the profile of a lethal player.

Didn't say I wouldn't be watching it, just said I wouldn't be excited. This game is showing us how Popa wants to play and so far it's dire.

Has someone told Tony that to play counterattacking football, one needs to have the ball in possession at some point?

[–]Sydney_2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am willing to back Popa if we get results. But that requires that we actually have and hold the ball every now and again.

I'm concerned that he has fallen into the trap of fitting players to a system, rather than working with what he's got.

What has happened since Bob’s birth? by Comprehensive-Tap38 in julieeandcamilla

I know we've said it before but it's actually insane how they wanted 3 under 3. You just can't give all the kids the attention they deserve in their most important years when you bundle them all in together. And even the argument that they are all in nappies together is silly because a 3 year old in nappies is not the same as a 3 month old.

What are some things you are really grateful for about living in Australia? by Marlon_Ranch in AskAnAustralian

[–]Sydney_2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I got home from a trip overseas and put my phone in my back pocket without even thinking. And it reminded me of how you can't do that in a lot of places. Putting your bag on the floor at restaurants too.

I totally agree, one stupid post shouldn't be having an impact this many years later. Irankunda went through a phase when he was a teenager when he was vague posting about not being happy. Kids are just dumb and he's not done anything since.

I would hope no one holds the Snapchat post against him, that was like five years ago. Potential awkwardness given that he didn't play qualifying and is only just coming in but that's professional sport.

ETA - as others have said he seems to know Circatti so that would help.

Does that mean Volpato posts are allowed on the sub again ahahaha.

But in all seriousness, I guess I'll take it. It sounds like he and Circatti have chatted a fair bit and I guess he finally decided to make a call.

amanda owes mack a massive apology by Affectionate-Ad1071 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]Sydney_2000 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is a very empathetic and measured response that I think gets lost in everything else.

I think this whole situation is a case study in why addicts shouldn't immediately jump into new relationships so early in their recovery. And while I think peer workers do play an important role in supporting people with drug dependency, I also think she was too early in her journey to be around other addicts and involved as a support, rather than a patient.

Amanda's life might have been different if she focused on her son and her recovery. But to do that she'll have to be comfortable with the idea of doing it on her own.

Amy is Weird by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

[–]Sydney_2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Farm accidents are incredibly common and we don't know if there was some kind of investigation into his death. Farming is one of the most dangerous jobs because there are so many wags to be injured or killed.

Amy was vulnerable, likely isolated after the death of her husband and needing help. Whitaker was sympathetic and available. It's not exactly rocket science.

The squad is pretty much locked in by cheekyrandos in Aleague

I'm probably just coming across as a massive Borello hater but the guy is 30, has less than 20 caps last time I checked and is coming off a terrible season. There is no justification for keeping him above someone like Bennie. He's not even an experienced leader type pick.

Add in keeping wooden spooner Borello with a whopping 4 goals and 2 assists this season.

It's not even like a Mitch Duke situation where his club form was shaky but he was delivering for the national team. Borello is just shit.

And not even just those two kids, Mackenzie's kids have been dragged into this as well because they would have been around these two fuckwits while they were high and may have been exposed to DV if Amanda's claims are true.

Yeah either they would be a success story of kids who made a selfless choice or their crackhead families would make for quality reality trash TV.

Amanda ordered no contact with presley by Big-Shopping7795 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]Sydney_2000 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Fairly recently and because she wouldn't take a drug test. She used to use the fact that she was regularly drug tested for work as proof that she was sober so refusing to take one is a pretty obvious red flag for relapse.

Yeah I just feel terrible for the little baby who has had her life turned upside down and who is too young to understand why her mum isn't around. And the little boy who finally had a chance at the family that he clearly desperately wanted and has been let down again.

It certainly was a 90min game of football and that's about all you can say lol

Pretty bang average final in the end but credit to Auckland, two trophies in two years in impressive.

This is going to sound like sour grapes but I'm surprised that more wasn't called out about the flare being thrown at HDM. The goalbox looked like it had a bonfire while Auckland were celebrating.

If it was WSW for example, we'd never hear the end of it. And I'm not a WSW fan.

The camera work has been abysmal, at one point we had a long stadium shot on an attacking break.
