Zwolle's win (no Sainsbury) means they are in the Europa league play-off

Brugge's loss drops them down to third, out of the Champions league spots

No Rogic then.

Brugge are in shithouse form. shame

Looks like he made some defensive changes in the end to hang on?

What it could also signal is he has some genuine qualities that couldn't keep him off the pitch.

And we all have this knowledge already

Yeah, Aberdeen really should have equalised. They're chasing the game and have more to lose...so probably for the best that Rogic stays off. I can see him being subbed on and getting taken out and injured again within 30 seconds.

Jeezus, some real crucifixions in those reads. Among a few positive comments.

We all know Josh is still learning his craft, but my god he'll be tougher mentally after what he's gone through there just to get some game time. Makes me think if he'll jump ship early

This might be a silver lining. Some would argue that it's better to be playing in the A-League, than not at all. But you have to weigh that against the quality of the Serie A. In any event, the silver lining is that it will hopefully make Josh mentally tougher. Apparently Schwarzer said something about the stiff competition for spots in a starting XI at at European club being good for the development of young players. Obviously we'd love it if they just walked straight into teams. But hopefully he gets the mental fortitude that Schwarzer, Moore, Chipperfield, Grella, Cahill, etc. had.

Can't see the crucifixions in the comments section. Most people are blaming Montella on the way he treated Brillante by dumping him after just 30mins in the openning game against Roma.

This quote pretty much sums up most supporters feelings:


Basically saying Brillante's exclusion is another big failure caused by Montella and that Josh would have done very well in the side and scored a few goals from central midfield (something they lacked this season).

Also as moofa points out, most people are pointing the finger at Montella for 'bruciare', literally meaning 'burning' but essentially meaning using Brillante as a scapegoat for larger reasons.

This quote was quite funny :lol: :

I got the gist vaguely on that sort of, but the other article also wrote he was less developed 'immature' than their Italian same aged players.

Also they were saying Josh was used as a scapegoat just to point out the weakness in the transfer market at that point in time, and he was just a trigger signing because Montella was pissed off that they had no better player to choose. Talk about shite, could have played him off the bench or something rather than use him in starting lineups if he was going to sub him immediately after 30

heres hoping preston gets promoted and kilkenny gets good game time for them. Wright we know will get game time but kilkenny has been in and out. Would be good to have another central midfielder playing in europe in a good league.

Well he has consistantly in when it has mattered. Have to disagree with you on that one m80.

recent times this season he's mainly been coming off the bench. compared to starting.

Wright actually got the assist for Beckfords screamer. While you wouldn't expect it to end as an assist he does well to win the ball and pass it off first time

phwoar get around Amini

Looks good! Hard to judge from a 5 min highlights package but a few nice little passes and a good assist for the 2nd goal (3:05).

Dortmund II looking at a great escape, winning 2 in a row and now needing only at least 2 points from their last 2? (I'm not sure what their policy is on using good players in the 2nds to avoid relegation late in the season). I guess probably irrelevant if Amini leaves anyway but a nice note to go out on if that does happen.

Rogic starting for the Celtic dev squad.

Luongo starting in the second leg of the playoff Semi Final. Leading 2-1 on aggregate.

Kicking off right now.

Swindon already up 3-1 on aggregate! Luongo involved in the buildup play.

4-1 now after 10 minutes.

It's all ogre. Hopefully we see all 3 Aussies on the pitch at Wembley.

Just as I was typing that Swindon are through to Wembley 5-1, Sheffield Utd make it 5-2.

Cameras spotting Tim Sherwood (Aston VIlla manager) and Tony Pulis (WBA) in the crowd. Both surely there to see Mass.

59th minute pen making it 6-3 on aggregate. Surely Aussies v Aussie in Wembley now.

Edit, serves me right for speaking too soon, 6-4 with 20 mins to go.

Where's Tom King gotten to?

Assist for Luongo, 7-3 with less than ten minutes left.

Good ball from Luongo, but the Swindon striker deserves the credit for a great touch around the final defender.

This swindon game is epic

Sheffield not rolling over on this one, ninth goal of the night making 7-5 on aggregate! Only two minutes left plus stoppages, however.
