Bahaha so because he played professionally in another country (most of his games from 1999-2013) he has a lot of knowledge about Scottish Football in 2020 compared to someone who has watched it for 27+ plus years? okay buddy. Do you want me to post all the ex professional players that disagree with Marks clueless ramblings? A hint, one of them played with Shearer up top at Blackburn and actually contributed to winning the league (something Schwarzer never did). If you know the slightest clue about Tom Rogic at Celtic you would know he rarely ever plays 90 mins, yet in one of Mr Schwarzers first comments he suggests he doesn't give the same 90 minutes to Australia that he does for Celtic, a bit clueless considering he has played 186 games for Celtic, 43 of them he has played the full 90, 3 of those games were this season (4 including this mornings match). I suggest you get that sailors vock out your mouth and come back with a sensible argument and some stats to back it up rather than 'Hey! my hero Mark knows a lot about the Scottish League, because he once played in a country next to it!, yeah he may not watch any live games but he has watched a few Europa League highlight packages of the 2 teams from that league'.

It was a stupid/usless argument.  Hence I just ignored it.

just for context Mabil's team are light years ahead of Copenhagen.. Celtic who had the advantage cant even beat them at home... Copenhagen drew bottom side Silkeborg few days before this game...

so Mabil wont even make the Celtic bench? Its below his level... LOL

how does he displace Clichy exactly? just magically become better than a guy with a decade of EPL experience? lol

Yep, a shit result.

I knew missing all those opportunities that we created in the first half of the first leg was going to come back to haunt us 🤬😥

So this thread was the last place where we could get some meaningful discussion about Aussie footballers and how they are going week to week for some of us that lead busy lives and cant always watch everything ourselves. It appears it is being over run by a bunch of Scots with a pretty high opinion of their own opinion so good luck gents. Good to see Celtic get beaten today Lennon proving as clueless as always except for the dodgy SPL with is lower championship level anyway. Enjoy you kick and chase boys and getting stuck in - nothing like watching a brave Scottish footballer running around like a chook with his head cut off getting dominated in Europe year after year.

yet some bang average SPFL player from Hibs is now a starter for Socceroos, doesn't say much does it. There were only 4 Scotsman that started (Brown- needs to retire, Forrest- missing, Taylor- acceptable, McGregor-passenger)-  the guy who looked like a horse needing to be shot was one of your own although I'm 99% sure you never watched the game .Lennon will be fine with his wins against Lazio, Rennes and Cluj thanks to having Ryan Christie start in all of them. I'm still waiting as to what wonderful insightful knowledge Mark has on Scottish Football? 


Just for context Mabils team were put out of the Europa League qualifiers 7-3 on aggregate by Rangers lol

90 for Jones and Karacic

you lost to Rangers though? Rangers > FC Midtjylland > Copenhagen > Celtic. Thats the order lol.

Is there any way to block posters on this site? I just want to read about aussies abroad not this shitfest of "SPL is awesome" "nah SPL is shit" "No U" back and forth repetition that this thread has devolved into. You guys wonder why board activity is falling off a cliff? This kind of shit is why

Legit please keep this SPL/Celtic debate bs out of the sacred Aussies Abroad thread. Create your own new thread for this boring discussion if there isn’t one already. 

Concur with the above.

Any thread is ruined in my eyes when this boring as batshit discussion takes place.

I too agree 🙂

James Holland is playing Man Utd next round 

That Gwargis fella scored twice for Brighton reserves.


Looking forward to it.

Amini bench, Duncan suspended
Hrustic starting, D. Ryan bench

Leckie bench

This 100%. 

celtic is a club hosting 2 current socceroos and many before, talking about there current game time should be allowed in the thread imo

They aren't specifically talking about their game time though are they? There has been a constant solid two months of this 'Lennon conspiracy' Arzani this Rogic that bullshit that I'm sick of reading. Its overkill. And not what I come on here to read.

I didn't say they shoudn't be talking about Celtic Arzani OR Rogic. What they shouldn't be doing is shitting up one of the few sources of consistent information about Australians abroad with arguments about Celtic is better that Midjytlland/Copenhagen/Barcelona/Real Madrid (insert Team here) or worse than the the Mariners, Lennon doesn't know wtf he is doing/Lennon is God, the spl is shit/the spl isn't shit et al. Take that garbage somewhere else. That has nothing to do with the performances of Aussies abroad and recently this thread has devolved into a cesspool of this crap.

+1

+2

+3

Can’t someone just start a Celtic is wonderful v Celtic is awful thread, and anyone who moves into that conversation on this sacred Aussies Abroad thread gets a ban, totally at the judgement of the mods? This is a group discussion with rules, so the free speech argument is void. This way, those of us who appreciate the updates on Aussies abroad can enjoy this, talk about good and bad performances, injuries etc. without all the other rubbish!
PLEASE!

If you want to have a “discussion” with someone why not just private message them? This isn’t the place. 

Williams scored a tap-in.  Portsmouth up to third.

Mooy/Ryan starting
Elder starting against Leeds,  Irvine bench

Irvine will hopefully come on later, I can watch both games. Very keen to see more of Elder.

1:0 Leeds. Shot deflects off Elder and dips nicely into the goal. Elder was hesitant to press because another man was running by home. But unfortunate that. 

Decent anticipation from Maty sees him smother a close range scare.
