Oh boy, what a most awesome weekend ahead.
Tonight, as I write this post I am watching the Adelaide v Melbourne game in the A-League (I only cheer for Harry Kewell tho). Tomorrow morning I head to the beach for 5 hours of lifesaving patrol, before watching Brisbane take on Sydney in the soccer again.
Sunday we have the Trans-Tasman test (Australia v New Zealand) in the Rugby League before the same two nations go head-to-head again in the Rugby Union World Cup semi final. Important bragging rights there! Those two games will be viewed in amongst a BBQ at C’s house with friends.
So yes, it’s definitely the weekend of football!! I guess I will need to get my rest when I can; I’ve got lots of cheering to do! Go Harry/Brisbane/Australia/Australia!!!

Right now it’s incredibly dark outside, the wind has picked up and warnings are being issued repeatedly for a big storm that’s heading right for the Sunshine Coast. Yet nothing can ruin today for me, nothing.
A-League is back.
It’s been a mammoth off-season, with the beginning of the season pushed back to avoid starting during the finals of the other football codes in the country. Brilliant idea I think, and hopefully it means we will see some increased spectator numbers. Last season was an amazing time for football in this country (soccer for some), with my favourite team, Brisbane Roar, taking out both pieces of the silverware. Love it.
To celebrate the start of the season, a group of us on twitter are meeting up beforehand. There’ll be drinks, introductions, chanting, and lots of chatter.
If you’re interested in coming (we’ll accept supporters from other clubs, although we may stir you a little), the details are:
Hotel LA
Caxton St
Brisbane
6pm – kick off (make sure you leave with enough time that you don’t miss kick off though!)
We have even created a facebook event page, which you can find here. The invitation is open to everyone so feel free to just show up unannounced and meet some new faces! I’ll be sure to post some pictures from the meet up tomorrow, once I come down from the high of the start of the new season.
Tonight’s game couldn’t be any better. It’s a grand final replay between my beloved Roar and Central Coast Mariners; I can’t wait. Is it time to go yet?

The boxing day derby between Brisbane Roar and Gold Coast United. Thankfully the stadium opened up extra tiers for all the crowd so that we were all able to stay out of the rain. The only ones who didn’t were the diehard fans, that were next to the field cheering to their teams.
This banner is the sledge of the year, it was brilliant. If you’re not sure what it’s about, the Gold Coast supporter’s bay is called “The Beach”.

Too fast for the iPhone. Tonight I went and saw Brisbane Roar v Everton at Suncorp Stadium with Mat, Amy & Danielle.
