Kruse starting































on the bench

Celtic v Aberdeen tonight - Celtic have a number of injury doubts, Rogic being one of them. Hopefully he manages to make the bench or something.

Think Kilmarnock are playing at midnight too, will be interesting to see if Irvine makes an appearance.

Yeah, seems like Dortmund may see him as the eventual number 1. Last contract he signed with them was something like a 4-5 year deal.

The rumors about Ben Halloran on the other hand have not been confirmed. The Australian will remain in Fortuna. "He's just starting times for eight weeks," coach Mike took Büskens the player's defense.

Nice list, I think we could say Reading and Crystal Palace will be close to swapping spots though with them swapping leagues and Dusseldorf will also drop with their relegation

:lol: just having a laugh mate. You and Martin do such a great job, that it was quite a shock to do my daily O/S Aussie update and only see 1 player.

But granted, my work in AF is a little more cynical than when you first started posting. I've grown quite sick of the certain obsessions and unjustified hatreds that the masses on here have.
Keep up the good work mate.

Langerak: victory guarantee in-waiting
Dortmund goalkeeper has a perfect record, but strong competition. Colleagues praise him. But where does his journey?

Mitchell Langerak has played seven league games for Borussia Dortmund

By Christoph Lother

Munich - They brought a golden boy - and got a tough worker.

One who simply does his job. Without murmuring and complaining. Just one of those species they most like to have in the Ruhr.

Three years have now gone by that Mitchell Langerak joined Borussia Dortmund from Australian club Melbourne Victory.

Since then he has made as a substitute goalkeeper Although rarely loudly attention. But when he was needed, he was there. And 100 percent.

As with the 4:0 BVB for the Bundesliga season opener last Saturday in Augsburg. Total for the eleventh time in a competitive match Langerak this guarded the gate of Borussia, for the eleventh time then they left the place as the winner ( DATA CENTER: Results and Table ).

Sahin praises of players
"Mitch is easy to rely on. We have a very, very good number two," praised Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin, the 24-year-olds last.

As deputy to the locked master Keepers Roman Weidenfeller Langerak had again defended his box in Augsburg shiny, put both on the line, and in terms of penalty area his qualities once again.

"He trained very well and is a nice guy, a real professional," Sahin described the Australian, "is really too good that you could call him number two."

"Sometime, somewhere," Sahin is certain, "Mitch will also be number one."

"Not only here to learn German"
However, just because the rub is.

"I'm not only in Germany, to learn German," Langerak stressed now and again: "I want to play."

An understandable concern, but which is extremely difficult given the current staffing situation in the Dortmund goal.

In the coming home game against Brunswick should give it back Weidenfeller are in the box.

With the 33-year-old Langerak has one of the best goalkeepers in Germany prior to the now but could possibly come to his first international match use after years of waiting.

End of the era Weidenfeller in sight
"I'm open on this issue, I want to take this opportunity to say very clearly," said Germany coach Joachim Loew recently in "kicker" and assured: "I recognize his achievements with the utmost respect to."

Weidenfeller then replied: "If the German Football Association needs my help, I am happy to help Then I go next year, of course, as number three with the World Cup.."

In Dortmund Weidenfeller enjoys long great appreciation. For eleven years, a native of the Palatinate is now at BVB between the posts, in May, he extended his contract by a further two seasons until 2016.

An early end to the era Weidenfeller and thus the ordeal Langeraks is therefore not in sight.

No more sleepless nights for Klopp and Co.
"We are in the comfortable situation that as a Roman Weidenfeller can fail and really have no sleepless nights in the environment must," said Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp delighted about his luxury problem.

One way or another sleepless night but Langerak could have.

All too easily, it is likely the Australians in any case does not fall to be restored to perfectly done work regularly back into second place.

Highlights against Bayern
So were highlights such as the 3-1 win at his Bundesliga debut against Bayern in February 2011 or the 5-2 in the DFB Cup final against Munich in June 2012 so far the exception rather for Langerak.

While he was still "completely relaxed drink after a workout coffee and just enjoy the time," he said.

In future, the 1.92-meter lanky with the mischievous grin but would like to be involved more often on the big stage. Not only as a stopgap, not just once every few weeks.

Klopp feels with Langerak
A wish that coach Klopp is also well aware.

"There is no question that such a exceptional goalkeeper Mitch would eventually be the number one," he said.

The only question is when. And where.

Ripper post. Some brilliant work from you lately. I'm guessing those first couple of hairs have sprouted now you have really matured. =d> :d

Now I am double posting here on purpose because I am asking a question and it will be easier to quote not attached to my previous ones.

Anyway I would say this is the main thread I post in and if you actually recognise me I was just wondering if you saw my posts as actual interesting content or just as pointless bumps to this thread either because I don't post anything interesting or what I do post has usually gone through google translate and is less than clear?

note: this is on purpose as I think Aussie article are often biased and the articles/quotes I post are also the ones people will most likely miss

I enjoy them
