Yep, Irvine deserves a start for the Roos. Long overdue.

Big win for Huddersfield.

Huddersfield win 1:0 against Derby and go 3rd. 4 behind Brighton and 8 ahead of Sheffield Wednesday in 6th who lost to Brentford. QPR win again and Burton get a crucial point against Derby in a 0:0 draw.

Luongo didn't feature. Still plenty of matches to come but he's a bit on the outer.

Derby have a busy schedule.

Huddersfield have a knack of grinding out results. On my way to work it was after ht listening on talksport but still 0 all with Derby starting to wrestle control into the match. 

if hudders go up that means Davidson's now been at 2 EPL clubs he does not deserve to be apart of lol.

i think he will be sold.  wagner has already gotten rid of him once.

hudders 4 points clear of reading with a game in hand. only 4 behind brighton and the automatic promotion spot.  

lets not forget that crystal palace went up after finishing 5th and cleaning up in the playoff for the 3rd promotion spot.  its a tight playoff that really comes down to late season form.  great to watch.  i wish we had it here.

Huddersfield  played Reading. ;)

Huddersfield finishing will need to improve. They get many opportunities to score but fail to hit the back of the net

missing a penalty is pretty shit

Huddersfield v Reading - a draw would have been a fair result.  Reading denied a clear cut penalty in second half. 

Irvine subbed off at half time with an apparent injury. Hopefully nothing too big.

Guangzhou's first GS opponent in the ACL tonight is Eastern Sports Club from Hong Kong, pretty interesting. They've got an Aussie in their squad, Josh Mitchell, he played for a number of years in Romania with Craiova, and had two stints with the Jets.

here's some o/s aussies that i never see really see any mention of on this thread (Ive forgotten or didnt know about)

Premier League

Tom Beadling - Central Defender - Southhampton - 21 yrs (on loan at Bury league 1?)
Jordan Holmes - Goalkeeper - Bournemouth - 19 yrs

Denmark

Brent McGrath - Striker - Esberg.  26 yrs.

Scotland

Jesse Curran - Midfielder - Dundee - 20 yrs

Curran has basically exclusively played in the Dundee FC youth for the past six months. Might be time for a move back to Australia.

Genk kicking off in the second leg of the Europa League Round of 32 in an hour.

Former Sydney FC, North Queensland Fury and Newcastle Jet Striker Chris Payne has joined East Bengal F.C. in the Hero I-League (India Tier 1):

An article interviewing him:
http://www.oneindia.com/sports/foot...rpion-kick-from-idol-ibrahimovic-2347436.html

Chris Payne played until the 58th mintue as East Bengal F.C. drew 1-1 at home with 4th (of 10) placed Shillong Lajong FC in the Hero I-League (India Tier 1).
Thoughts from a match commentator: A couple of changes near the hour mark and the wasteful chances come begging again. Chris Payne has had a horrible debut on Indian soil.

His coaches thoughts on his performance:
Asked about Chris Payne’s underwhelming display on debut against Lajong, Morgan said the Australian needs time to get back into the groove as he has just returned from the pre-season break.

“Chris has just come back from pre-season in Australia while Willis (Plaza) was playing. So there will be difference in match fitness. We are working on Chris’s fitness to try and bring him to our level,” Morgan said.

Chris Payne was not in the squad for East Bengal F.C. as they lost 1-0 away from home to 3rd (of 10) placed Aizawl F.C. in the Hero I-League (India Tier 1). East Bengal F.C. sit top of the Hero I-League (India Tier 1) on goal difference with 8 games to play.


 
Chris Payne with his new side

Payne will not do well in India. The conditions don't favor him, the fans are shit and will turn on him in two seconds, and they already have two strikers who are firing. Why the club wasted their AFC spot on another striker is beyond me.

15 left and Genk lead 1:0. 2 away goals see them 3:2 on aggregate. That should be enough. Draw tomorrow.

Qualified teams

•  Anderlecht
•  Genk

Maty Ryan played a full match and kept a clean sheet for K.R.C. Genk (Belgium Tier 1) as they defeated FC Astra Giurgiu (Romania Tier 1) in the UEFA Europa League 1-0 at home and 3-2 overall on aggregate to progress to the Round of 16 their opponents will be drawn for the next round at 11:00 PM AEDT tonight.

That's awesome can't wait! Hopefully I can actually watch the game and not have BEIN replay be in the middle of my class.

Celta Vigo through. Draw at 1pm CET Friday. That'd be 11pm Eastern.

Cheers mate! I'm not the best at calculating timezones

null @toffes
You seriously sont think mooy is going to start? What suggests that he is elite? If your playing well in a second division in the English division it doesnt prove your an elite player. You dont know if Toure or fernandinho is going to leave. Says who and how do u know? Silva and De Bruyne dont play out wide and even if that did that would mean Mooy would have to play out wide to suit Citys formation, sane and sterling play out wide. We have Toure who plays cdm and De Bruyne and Silva who play cm. and on the bench we have fernando, fernandinho and delph
So you really think mooy is gonna get much game time?

I forgot, gundogen will be ready to play next season where mooy will be called back if he desnt get sold. So good luck getting a spot ahead of him

mate City can go out and buy whoever they want? why would they put Mooy in their mothership club.

Also, they have players like David Villa, Pirlo, Lampard (retired i think) why would they bother risking a player like Mooy when they could prolly also convince these guys to play here.

No way in hell he'll play for City. I can def see him warming the bench, maybe coming on for a 5 minute cameo. But would not be any fantasy close to what some ppl are describing, get real

Excatly^
Mooy is definetky not good enough for our first team tbh unfortunately

not bad for like his 3-4th game? already hitting some consistency. Think he undid his hard work going to Valencia. You live u learn, just like any other profession

Gent vs Genk! Ryan at the latter ;)
