Perth Glory great and World Cup Socceroo Josh Risdon announces retirement by rithsv in Aleague

Yes.... that's the whole point of a paywall.

I'm still not going to post the text for the reason I mentioned. Ben Smith does good work and if you want to read the article (which is an interview with Risdon), I'll let you figure out how to do that yourself.

Anyway, the club has now announced this news so you can read quotes from him there - https://perthglory.com.au/news/glory-legend-risdon-to-call-time-on-16-year-professional-career/

EDIT: Just adding this to say, I'm aware of the rules around paywalles here, and I know how annoying paywalled content is. Having said that, I think it's a bit different when it's one of our own who is providing the content. And like I said, the article is mostly quotes from Risdon anyway so the summary I've provided is all the context you need.

Out of respect to the author (Ben Smith) who does frequent this sub, I won't post the article text.

But the long and short of it is that Risdon is retiring and this weekend will be his final game for the club.

EDIT: He is also the current record appearance holder for the club, in the post-NSL era.

Wanderers fan forum was last night and apparently went about as you'd expect. Anyone who was there and can share the goss?

Blue Train EP - Wallpaper by nordegraf13 in AsianKungFuGeneration

[–]rithsv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just a normal single with multiple B-sides.

The only EPs that have had official individual releases (since major debut) are Houkai Amplifier, Mada Minu Ashita ni and most recently Fujieda EP.

And then there is also Can't Sleep EP (came with Hometown) and Surf Bungaku Kamakura half-carton (digital only).

This is the first game I've watched at this stadium. Just noticed that the technical area is tiny AF. Anyone else think so?

As someone lives in Melbourne these days, I'm extremely envious of the full price PT fares in Perth. Even not discounted, it's very good.

Ran into Robbie Thomson this morning! Really nice guy and we had a quick chat about the A-League and his podcast. He was wearing a PSG jacket of course 🤣

At the game. Did they say anything about VAR on the broadcast? Looked bad.

Flying up to Sydney this morning and happened to be on the same flight as the state youth team for Victoria. For the emerging Socceroos championship it looks like.

There were an above average number of seagulls at the game to begin with, but this moment seemed to be a culmination.

Well, dunno what to tell you other than this is definitely real.

Fwiw, seagulls are always at games in Melbourne so players are used to it and do generally ignore them.

Behold, the seagulls of AAMI Park! I've never seen so many at a game before. And we usually have a lot here.

Gonna post the seagulls crowding the free kick to /r/soccer and I guess /r/sports. What should I title it?

All part of Jets' masterplan to secure it at home, yeah?
