Oh. My. God.
One of the best days of my life.
I told her she’s my fave
@TheMatildas
.. that she’s beautiful … she told me I’m beautiful…then we hugged.
😭😭
Oh, Mary 💚💛
I cannot wait to watch your career and even brighter future.

When

played
@mfcbulls
, I waited to say hi & congratulate ex
#student
Ivan Vujica. I always do when he plays there as I’m proud. He always comes over & says, “Thanks, Miss” 🥹
On Sat, he gave me his jersey. 1 of my now most valued possessions 😢

This is Sophia from Roma, my first ever exchange student.
Was asked to introduce her to Aussie culture.. isn’t she lucky staying with me? Welcome to

We now have another

#NRLEelsRaiders
I know that Jaemon Salmon was one of the most troublesome kids in The Shire, but Ricky Stuart name calling, making that derogatory comment in a public forum is inappropriate & unprofessional.
That behaviour needs to be shut down.
I’m so glad that coach left The Eels.
I know we’re having a decent season, but at this stage of my life, I’m only interested in a premiership.
Please and thank you Parra 😂🙏
Want to have this smiling feeling going into next week.

Told by
@AllianzStadium
personnel I’m not allowed to stand on concourse to watch
@SydneyFC
Explained Ive always watched from here when it rains.
Was told they’d call security if I don’t sit in my seat.
Will comfortably say I won’t be coming here again at slight look of rain.
Youve heard of the Random Souths Guy… now let me introduce the Random Parra Girl.
😂😂
Had to be done.
I’ve never worn my Eels jersey to a rival game but special occasion, thought I’d wear my Sunday best 😁

For those blowing up deluxe about THAT forward pass last night, you win some, you lose some that’s sport
In the 09 grand final we were cheated by an over the salary cap Melbourne Storm, that hurts even more
Now let’s get back to basking in

Fabulous read from
@clarissa_bye
on
#education
My teaching style has often been referred to as tough love, which I’m not ashamed of.
My students have always received good results & long after they’ve left refer to me as a ‘good teacher’, but support from the top is critical.
Been asked out on a date, to watch
#SydneyDerby
by a guy who has no interest in football.
Seems so lovely …but have had a thought. Do I really want someone seeing me on a 1st date watching my sporting teams? And the Syd derby no less? 😬
I think he’ll run for the hills 😂
My teams making a grand final is special for me. These moments can be few & far between in a lifetime so I never take it for granted. My entire life I’ve witnessed only 4, fortunately 3 wins. Enjoying the occasion today 😍 Good luck

Members should have op to repurchase their seats. Reward attendance loyalty & paying the $ through season.

At the self car wash in my Eels jacket with Phil Gould washing his car behind me.
Not that he’d recognize me cos he’s blocked me from Twitter.
I may have taken a little longer to wash my car to hold him up a bit 😂

As an Eels member I’d love an update from club on where we’re at with halves re signings
Players like Latrell announce they don’t want to play for anyone else, is that the case with ours?
Given players we’ve shed, if we can’t retain our halves we have some concerns
#PARRAdise
I’ve been appointed year 8 coordinator for 2021 ☺️
The role I’ve wanted since my first year of teaching.
I love music but

I’ve recruited another sky blue 🤗
My cousin’s son has been begging his mum to take him to a

game for two years.
I’m so pleased I got to take Leo to his first

game… he’s come all the way from Kurrajong!! ⚽️💙

Walking out of Commbank when I (think) I spotted Brandon Borrello. 😏
“Are you Brandon Borrello?”
Him “Yes!”
Me “I’m a
@SydneyFC
fan”
Him “Boooo”
Me “And we definitely deserved something.” 👋 🤣🤣
Sorry boy, you’ll never live that one down 😝😝

My bestie at her first
@aleaguemen
game 😍
She declared Mariners as her team after a recent flight to NZ sitting next to them 😁
But have a look at this
@SydneyFC
… I’ve converted another 😍😍
She’s def all in with us! 🤩🤩
Let’s go Team ⚽️💙

I've come to the right school. Wearing my
@SydneyFC
jersey today and I've been swamped by students asking if I'm going to the game tonight. Approx 30% of kids in all my classes are members 😍😍
#SydneyFCFriday
officially a thing at my new shire school 😁😁💙⚽️
#SydneyIsSkyBlue
On 14/12/22 I stepped into a classroom for the last time unknowingly.
Been notified I was successful for New Teacher Engagement Senior Relationship Advisor for DET.
Excited for a career change & grateful for the opportunity but I will miss the students immensely 😢🙏
A sombre
#SydneyDerby
with a tragedy next door only hours before but a beautiful mark of respect with a moment’s silence & both teams wearing black armbands for the match
🥹💙⚽️🙏
To end on a happy note, we beat our rivals on home soil

If I’m honest that’s what has angered me the most in all this.
Hardly any discussion of teacher welfare & safety. What procedures have been discussed to protect senior & vulnerable teachers?
I don’t think teachers have been thanked once.
Thank you
@AlboMP
for acknowledging us
For sale 🙄
Disappointed & shocked… & I’ll leave it there.
If 7 years have taught me anything, it’s that it doesn’t pay to be loyal.
Based my entire kit collection around 1 player.
Well at least I can pass my jerseys on to my dad & uncles now 😂💔😭💙⚽️

My 2009

I’m thinking I may be a little mature this time round for the full blown face paint 😂
My boyfriend at the time was a Roosters supporter & he allowed me to decorate him blue & gold…Id call that an achievement 😁 💙💛

Wow... I’m at jubilee oval for the
@SydneyFC
Wellington match 🤯🤯
Turns out, a week early! 😂 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
#teacherbrain
is really a thing. Well I’m hoping anyway and it’s not early onset of dementia 😬
Seriously just when I thought I couldn’t love this club anymore, what an amazing sentiment
@SydneyFC
😍😍 THANK YOU for the memories, the appreciation & for valuing your members, not just seeing us as a number. Every member of this season on this banner 💙⚽️
#SydneyIsSkyBlue
At airport lining up for a juice when the guy serving says, Melissa Muscat! 😱
Me: You were a
#student
but I don't remember your name.
Him: Ronnie, you banned me from the music rooms once! 🤣
Me: You were a little trouble maker! 😂
R: I know, sorry, today's drink is on me 😍
Is this the year of the Eel & the Swan? 😱😭 imagine?
C’mon Parra, 2 wins…away. Yes, big wins, but it’s 2. The closest we’ve been in a very long time.
We need this, more than any club in a long while. For the team, club, players, fans.
Let’s finish this

Farewell & thank you, not only to a
@SydneyFC
legend, but an Australian
#football
legend, Steve Corica.
From a kid watching him play for Marconi Stallions, asking for his autograph 😬 to witnessing him lead our team to numerous trophies & accolades.

Saw something fabulous.
Sales assistant at
@rebelsport
Rockdale was wearing a…
@mfcbulls
jersey 🤩
I asked why Bulls when in Rockdale & she said she used to live there.
Love that
@aleaguemen
is being represented far & wide.
Bulls, might need to organize a ticket for her ☺️
Three years ago today.
Parra v Brisbane semifinal.
58-0
Good omen?? 🤩💙💛
One of the best atmospheres and games I’ve experienced as an Eels supporter.

Something different in

I like!
Lamb snack pack … as it was coming out “No sauce please!” Just in the Nick of time 😂😂
My happiness. No sauce for me. Ever. 😝

@commbankstadium
I know better than most, it’s not every day, year or decade you get to witness your team lift a trophy ...so when one of my teams do, I celebrate fully. To my favourite football team
@SydneyFC
thank you for bringing me the happiness & joy you do ⚽️💙🏆

says “Hi Mel, great work this week!” 😱😍 He recognized me! Me “You’ve played against my brother since 5 yrs old. Alex M” A: “Don’t your fam live out west?” Yep. “Aren’t they wsw supporters?” That’s them 😂
#SydneyisSkyBlue
The RBB remind me of spoilt students I’ve taught in the past “Teachers picking on me” Aka “Police are picking on us”. No, in life when you break rules there is consequence. Please take ownership of this like adults do. Do the crime, do the time. Admit the wrongdoing & move on.
I’ve never had the fortune of following a ‘local’ team, so the past 4 years of traveling 10mins have been glorious. Some awesome moments here too
Now look forward to that amazing stadium we’re about to call home 🤩 ⚽️💙
Thanks for memories
