Aussies abroad 🌍🦘

[ClockworkOrange]

For me Bosnich is the most real. The rest have their say and while annoying at times, football would be lonelier without their voices.

I wish the venom weren't always there but I think every country has its football fueds and harshness.

The main thing I detest about all of them is the constant harping on about how or why somehow Australia deserves to be ranked higher, or progress further in the WC.
And if only we had a better system/pathway/more money etc we would win the World Cup. Not to mention the obsession with the AFL and NRL.

Is foster only polarizing over his political views or are there some football views people disagree with

Coming back to this for a quick second.
I don't mind his commentary so much, it's the periphery stuff that annoys me.
His work with the PFA imho was detrimental to the health of our game here, went in to hard to early and achieved the opposite of what he said he was advocating for, I think it stalled the long term growth of the game for the short term hit, of which he bragged about being a major factor in.
He didn't promote our league very well when it was gaining traction and remember him dissing our national team a few times.
Sydney centric views were dividing and not necessary.

Devlin straight red card

Cam Devlin started and played 78 minutes for 10-man Rangers in their 1-0 UEFA Conference League playoff first leg win over Jablonec before being sent off after receiving a straight red card in the 78th minute.

Slight correction. Came off the bench at 68 and was sent in the 73. So only played 5 minutes. Did have 100% passing accuracy tbf.

Well that's a positive

I feel like this is the main reason why Popa and even Arnold have never trusted Devlin.

Didn't realise that Cam Devlin was on the bench as opposed to in the starting XI but at least he managed to get game time at continental level before having to serve a suspension.

The more time Devlin gets the more this celtic fan is very happy.

It'll likely only be for UEFA competitions though.

Obviously, he’ll be suspended for a couple of games in Europe and, assuming Rangers get through the next leg, he’ll serve the second in Round 1 of the Conference League group stage.

Don’t think Delvin’s time at Rangers so far has done anything to resolve their reservations about signing him, and that red certainly won’t help.

Good SPFL player for a Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen level side, but he’s not a Rangers midfielder in a month of Sundays.

 

[patjennings]

I think we’ll end up with more depth in the top 25 but less top level players. We’ll be in a situation where there’s multiple regulars at Erdivisie or Championship that don’t make the squad but less Big 5 regulars.

Unless of course we get an equivalent batch to the current 21-23 yo’s from our current 17-20 yo’s and end up with another 6 Big 5 players (fingers crossed).

That sounds about right - tbh Harry without injury was on another level (IMHO our only real world class player) from the rest of the GG. Just a shame that we hardly saw it.

His strength is in teams that spend most of the time without the ball, even taking into account his cards of various colours. That's not Rangers. Factors such as potential trophies, wages, his age and McInnes probably swayed him away from making a purely football-focussed decision.
