Why is this racist charge case dragging out so long? Racism is anti-social, but it doesn't seem, to me, to be a serious crime. Twenty minutes in the Magistrates Court, surely.

There was an interesting letter in a Melbourne paper yesterday from a man suggesting having the penalties taken before knockout matches. Then you go on to the 90 minute match and then apply the PS after a draw without the extra 30 minutes. Now, I get nervous even in matches when I don't really...

I've just seen this quote from Clattenberg on ESPN FC. "Jurgen Klopp is wrong to suggest there is an aura around Manchester United that sees them given favorable decisions. There used to be when Fergie was there, but that has eased massively since he left. I am the only referee to give three...

I'm trying to track down the address of a family who lived in Allerton in the 1950's and I think the local council might be the best place to start. So, which council covers that area? My brother-in-law's father migrated to Australia from Liverpool in about 1950 and we'll be in Liverpool next...

My daughter sent an order for a Father's Day present - in Australia - to Everton Direct online last month, but got a reply a bit later saying it would be late because of a fire where stock is held. It didn't arrive and she has now been sent a refund. OK, bad luck, but in the meantime they are...

For those who haven't heard, Optus have taken the TV rights from Foxtel starting next season. They will pay $63 million a year, upping Foxtel's $20 million. I assume that will mean higher subscription fees, but we'll have to wait and see. I don't know the percentage of subscribers who have...

There was a discussion on the radio here in Melbourne the other day about the difficulty of enforcing Suppression Orders, and someone referred to an English football crowd chanting the name of someone who'd been cheating on his/her spouse. I don't know whether it was the wife who'd been playing...

I have occasional trouble with them and the latest is OFM. Who, or what is it? And what is NEA? I'm bound to be back with more questions from time to time, so, thanks in anticipation.

I've noticed that the highlights programme we get here in Melbourne this season is only showing records from the Premier League era. I forget them exactly but the stats on screen before the West Ham match had something like Played 32 Everton won 14 West Ham won 8 Drawn 10. Or something like...

I'm very happy for Andy, but I hope this talk of a knighthood goes away. CBE's and such are OK, but knighthoods should be held back for sportsmen until they retire. Sir Bradley Wiggins sounds odd while he's on his bike. They've both achieved a lot and there's probably more to come, at least...

I was looking at statistics on Everton Results and came across something which amazed me. In 2003/4 in 19 league matches there were 7 matches which drew over 40,000 and only 2 which drew less than 37.000. That was the infamous Moyes season when we finished 17th. Can anyone explain it? I...

It was reported here last weekend that Sydney FC had signed Alessandro Del Piero for $2 mil' on a one year deal. A day or so later it was announced the deal could be off because Liverpool had made a late bid. I heard two different pundits offer the opinion that the thing that might swing...
