Everyone – A-League Men’s referee Alex King deserves endless plaudits for the way he handled the disgraceful scenes at Saturday’s ALM Melbourne Derby
Dale – 1) Western United goalkeeper Hillary Beall brilliantly saved a penalty against Melbourne City and had a fine game 2) Celia Cuccittini (Lionel Messi’s mum) was on the field to celebrate Argentina’s third Men’s World Cup triumph with her son
Eric – 1) Former Republic of Ireland and Glasgow City forward Clare Shine is a wonderful ambassador for those who are struggling from mental health and addiction issues 2) Daisy Arrowsmith scored her 20th goal of the NSW Futsal Premier League season on Sunday, leading UTS Northside to their first Women’s Championship 3) Future Matildas centre back Kayla Morrison scored a hat trick in Melbourne Victory’s 5-2 triumph over Newcastle
I hit another milestone this week in my recovery, 900 days since my last suicide attempt, 900 days sober and after 900 days I am now in the process of coming off my medication. 900 days ago I made a decision to change and I will never look back. Emotional wreck but I am so proud.
