Not watching. Alkmaar 3:3 at ht

5-all now with injury time to play 😮

I'll have to check out those highlights. Crazy game. 

Bouzanis off the bench vs utd in 72nd minute not sure if lumley was injured but if so hopefully gives him some more game time.   Amazing we now have Ryan Maynard-brewer bilokopic and bouzanis all getting game time at good standards.  Surely they former 3 need to be in the frame for socceroos 

Ryan letting 5 past him isn't great.  

Lewis Miller came on for Hibs in their 6-0 win over Aberdeen which is fantastic to see. Jeggo started and played the full match. 

Jeggo was outstanding in this, Aberdeen sacked their manager afterwards. James has never really got a proper go in the socceroos team. He is above scottish level.

Tommy had a rough night I turned off at 2 nil down. Huge win for Riley puts them up to 3rd.

Maty almost looked pretty bad if not for that offside. He just sucks coming off his lines these days he used to be so good at it. Now he goes when he shouldnt or makes the wrong decision.

Ryan was very poor in this game. If he keep playing like this and he will find himself sitting on the bench. You won't get many chances if U dnt  perform. Fans starting to complain about him now

Bilokapic made some good saves in Huddersfield Town's 2-0 loss against Coventry City... receiving a lot of praise from his manager and fans on Twitter, who don't want Huddersfield to get a new GK on loan given his performances.

Ryan did look slow to come off his line but there were very sharp strikers on both sides.

Marlee Francois (brother of Tyrese) officially made his debut for Bristol City overnight, after over a year out with injury. He came on in the 86th minute in the FA Cup against Rogic.

He’s one that has a bit of X factor about him, if he can stay healthy. It’s great to see him get back on the pitch a such a high level after injury setbacks.

If Dean Bouzanis ever plays for Australia, I’m defecting to NZ

Great that Kuol played. But he has 0 goals and 0 assists in Regionalliga this season and only played because of injuries. Nothing to really get excited about. 

Awful performance. Unfortunately he's done this at all of his last few clubs

Just stumble onto this body cam footage from the Sparta game i think from last week.
Mabil on in second half.
Fun to watch

Gersbach is rumoured to be joining Colorado Rapuds in the MLS. 

The fifth goal was certainly bad timing by Ryan. The rest are really no different to the hundreds conceded across the world over the weekend. I've watched about 30 sets of highlights and just shrug at how the keeper life can be. Quite a number of goals see the ball way closer to the keeper than to Ryan and it goes in. I doubt there are screams to bench them. First one he could've made himself bigger I suppose. Second had a good double save. Third was an evil heel where he correctly went to his knees anticipating it to go straight through only to go way across goal. Fourth I don't like his ducking low yet the placement is good from a swift cross.

The way I see it is not enough credit is given to scorers. Defences are generally more culpable and keepers get stuck with the bill.

Troyes with late conceded goal for a 1:1 draw vs Lens. Damn.

Solid win for Hull and nice pass by Elder on 1:05.

No Watts yesterday but with the window closing soon we may see a loan end and a reloan elsewhere. Wouldn't really make sense but they do happen.

Goalless draw for Ipswich against Burnley in FA Cup. Stoke host Stevenage today. Souttar running out of time. People saying a summer move the better type anyway.

Such an interesting perspective. Not sure we'd see it as a service in official games. Doubt the ref would have a headset like rugby.

Horrible mix up with Rogic and teammates for the first goal. That 'you or me?' millisecond to be absolutely punished. The second goal however saw WBA fans pinning it on Rogic for the pass. FFS they're delusional. The recipient can control it and the defence allowed a 50m attack.

Extended highlights. It's such a postive jump after the shaky U23 camp. 

Metcalfe and Irvine starting. Excellent for Metcalfe. App suggests right wing but I'll wait until it's on tv. 

Metcalfe basically being employed like Leckie was at WC. 

Rowles, Devlin and Atkinson starting. Kuol bench. No Cancar for Livingston. Hopefully he can get a loan. Highly unusual reaction to not play him again after a rogue first 30min on debut.

Celtic on later against Dundee United. 

St Pauli take the lead. Interestingly it's the AZ keeper on loan to Nürnberg who concedes. He's made a meal of that and basically fumbled it into the goal. Akin to a scrum half just dropping it when trying to pick it up.

Thanks for the report, Jas.

Jeggo conceded a critical penalty against China when the Socceroos were cruising 1-0 up. This action resulted in a 1-1 draw, when China looked to be out of the game. JJ hasn't been selected since - but it was a very silly handball from memory. It was not only decisive for the game, but the  entire  campaign from Aus at that stage.

I also don't think JJ will ever get back to the Socceroos. The depth of talent emerging as DMs/ central midfielders, is amazing  in Aus ATM. Each generation/cohort keeps  producing a  production line of quality players  in this position. I've recently  been very impressed with WSW's Niewenhof, and some other very young players in the A L. 

Thanks for all the match reports, Johnszasz.

Yeah very unfortunate for Jeggo. Ball landed on his hand and VAR got him. Jeggo stood out for me from the South Korea reserve friendly where he took a leading role in communication. He certainly did his midfield role well in the Saudi home game. The China handball and the silly foul against Saudi that partly sealed his fate. More so the abundance of quality midfielders meant he had to make way but I'm grateful for his contribution. For me his finest game was the curse breaking Jordan away win. A solid midfield display.
