last thing on the Tara shootings, safe to say the 'highly regarded teacher' thing has faded fast.

Behind the Train family's twisted backstory — a trio of loners who carried out a deadly police shooting

There were many signs something was not right about Gareth Train and his wife Stacey before they joined his brother Nathaniel on a deadly shooting rampage in Queensland's Western Downs. This story contains content that readers may find distressing.

‘We killed them’: Queensland shooters posted video online after attack

A now-deleted YouTube account shows footage of the Wieambilla shooters foreshadowing violence against police in the lead-up to the attack.

Turns out these guys were completely bonkers. So unfortunate for the police officers involved, and their families.

Just found out that Stuart Margolin passed away last week. Not a household name but I am surprised his death did not make more news than it apparently did.
RIP, Angel!

I just read an article about sporting people who died in 2022 and saw the name Alan Froggy Thomson.
The name may not mean much to many but he played 3-4 tests for Australia in the early 1970s and he was also the bowler who took the first wicket in one day international cricket. (Boycott Ct Lawry bld Thomson.)
But his real claim to fame was he has possibly the most unusual bowling action in the history of test cricket

Off the wrong foot, like Maxie Walker. Was called a Bobby Bitmead when I was a kid.

They reckon he was seriously quick but missed out on playing more because his career crossed a fella by the name of Lillee who was pretty useful.

I know he fell on some hard times a few years ago and the Aussie team boys raised some money for him.

Lillee took his place in the test team. We knew his aunt and I met froggy once or twice and was a star struck boy. He bowled a few balls once in a neighbourhood cricket game we used to have with the other kids in the area.

I have a memory of going to VIC v NSW at the MCG with my Dad as a young boy when Sheffield shield was huge and got big crowds when Froggy was at his peak and the crowd loved him.

He died a recluse evidently, sad

Seeing stuff on Twitter that Barry Round has passed away. I always liked Round as a footballer, even though I only really saw the tail end of his career at the Swans.

Funny I should read this just now. Just got out of the car and they had brad hardie just on the radio. He is friends with the Rounds and just got off the phone with Barry’s wife. She is upset hearing this. He is still with us but unfortunately is not in a good way and being looked after in his bed. It doesn’t sound good

A tremendous footballer and leader who was instrumental if not principal in leading South to Sydney in 1982.

RIP to the actual greatest player of all time.

 

[Tigers of Old]

It's a shame most of us didn't get to see his brilliance. To average a goal a game in soccer is ridiculous. RIP.

RIP GOAT.

Need to throw Escape To Victory on today.
