Jimbo Holland played 90 mins in a 1-0 win over Paderborn. First win of the season.

Next match is against Halloran away to Heidenheim.

is that a football question? or just another one of your personal insults you make to me after (almost) every football post I make on The Aussies Abroad Thread

because if it's football, i don't understand ?

Maty has spent the weekend in hospital due to an infection in his operated knee. He'll be out longer than planned :(

Why would we put da silva and ikon in when we have two winger that are wayyyyy better then them. Leckie and kruse. Then u have oar and burns. Those two are not up to nt standards. I don't see the point in playing players that are not ready. To me it cheaping the Australia Jersey 😅

Looking into the future to give game time to up and comers knowing we are playing weak opposition now is good planning.

agreed. Most players have a 20 or so game incubation period before we see them play to their potential so there is an important balance between giving upcoming players experience and improving existing combinations

Also pretty sure Kruse is still injured ...

I think the starting line-up generally should be the "best" players (irrelevant of age), but the bench is a different mater. Similarly if we are playing some teams (say Bangladesh or Tajikistan) it wouldn't hurt to give some youngster game time ... I am sure some of the better players (and their teams) would appreciate them not being at risk of injury against teams we beat by 4 or more goals (with or without them).

Have a nice break.

adrtho, you're not you when you're hungry

Aw I missed it.

I havent been following this closely, but would feel bad if adrtho was banned because he was bullied to breaking point.

In Aussies Abroad news.... Brad Smith to Denmark still on?

The mods got him

I think you mean Norway and from what i understand he is still on trial. Happy to be corrected though.

And i agree, he asked a question and got launched upon until he snapped, everyone involved in it should be getting a spell on the sidelines if he does

](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Hopefully jsut a few days more. Maty needs to get back asap to try regain his spot before the number 1 comes back in a few months. Otherwise he could end up no 3, and not been seen on a field for some time...

I agree

:shock:

I'm under the assumption that if an injury becomes infected, it's VERY serious.

Clearly we need to call up John Safran because there's been another curse.

Me too. This is uncivil.

The bullying has to stop.

If he's talking shit, there comes a time when the best thing to do is to ignore it.

I thought you were referring to Smith in that last sentence and was really confused. On Smith, he should be with the Olyroos in South Korea at the moment but the Rosenborg announcement (on their official page) said he is there this week.

From the 2/10:

True, but it is difficult to restrain yourself when he is 1) beyond reason, an unshakable belief in the ultimate truth of his completely 'unfalsifiable' ideas, like discussing with a religious fundamentalist at your front door and, more annoyingly

2) continually putting his unsustainable ideas in every thread.

I have resorting to yelling at my screen rather than type what I'm thinking sometimes...

Is there an ignore poster setting, so I don't have to get irate reading his stuff?

Cry me a river. Adrtho has brought it on himself. He's as antagonistic as anyone on here. He makes no effort whatsoever to listen or see other points of view and isn't backward at being obnoxious to anyone who doesn't agree with him. Now this is fine if you can take the heat that will come with being that way.

To paint him as some poor victim is disingenuous and rather patronizing to him. He probably gives zero shits about being banned and is off doing whatever it is he does. Moral crusaders need to get off their high horses and just stick to worrying about football chat because that's why we are here.

Go Socceroos, Joeys and Olyroos!

You PC brah?

Classic story of the scorpion and the frog/toad.
Takes two to tango.
Etc.

Ps any sweet updates for us VoR?

He does chat about football and backs it up with credible stats and facts. Whether anyone wants to believe them and him is another thing. People straight up destroy him because he dare speak out against the bias on this forum and present an alternative (in some case, extreme) view.



Haha yes, the vilification of smith needs to stop. He has been run out of England and forced to flee to the barren ice fields of Norway to escape the persecution.

On another note, what are peoples opinions of the Norwegian league? I can only comment on what i've seen in the Europa League. This presents a similar story to the other lower/mid tier leagues of Europe in that they are capable of good football but cannot do it consistently or to an effective level

This.

Carry on nothing to see here.

I thought Smith was pretty good. How is the standard in Norway?

Sorry mate but he hasn't provided any facts. Just because he says they are doesn't mean they are, they're opinions which he attaches to certain stats. And his stats too are rarely useful. As Benjamin showed in the other thread his argument was full of holes and went back and forth contradicting each other until finally he admitted he just wanted people to talk up the Aleague for promotional purposes. Nothing wrong with that but he shouldn't try and pass it off as fact while denigrating all with more realistic opinions as being anti-Australian football..

You guys should listen to posters like Benjamin who are credible sources and have real world experience at the elite level of the game here and abroad without hiding in anonymity. Adrtho has himself admitted to not having any experience in football and only uses Elo (a decent yet flawed system, not nearly as reliable as a blood test) and betting agencies.

Nothing at the moment that I can share Roary. Stay tuned though
