not sure why people are surprised Asian refs being giving out those kind of decisions since we moved to the AFC.

You cant be physical as an Aussie in Asia.

I've felt for a while that Gersbach would make a better wide midfielder than LB. I haven't followed his career very closely so just an impression based on the few times I have watched him.

Oh my God I just looked it up.
I mean that's worse than any refereeing I've ever seen here.
It's not even a yellow. It's not even a thing at all.
Seriously people need to see this before they comment on it
2 minutes 14 seconds into video

Remarkable if that can't be overturned.

He plays a great attacking wing back mind you whilst he was at SFC in his younger day.
Todays game plays like a wide mid in any case, well as long as Corica doesn't push his pass back mantra of today.

josh sfc, that so he coming back ?

As I said there is no basis whatsoever to my claim. Just think he’s skipped around to at least 4 or 5 clubs and never truly cracked it in Europe. We need a LB badly and he’s a good fit.

Liam Chipperfield came off the bench for the senior Basel FC team and scored.

But he will probably play for Switzerland

I would've had him as our starting #6. Another brain-dead decision by Arnold. Probably play Jeggo there

Boyle scores the winner. Hrustic bench. Chipperfield bench & came on late. Holland starting. No Valpato again - can't believe this - scores and get 30 mins one week and not seen again?!! Has to be something behind the scenes going on?

I suspect that means he wants to play for australia and suddenly won't get minutes as they will want to give minutes to local italian youth

I don't understand that at all. International caps regardless if they are Italian and regular Roma game time means he'll get his transfer stock bumped up and can be sold for profit - if that is Roma's true motives...

I just honestly think he is being protected. I personally think a loan next season to a mid-to-low Serie A team will be beneficial.

clearly Chipperfield is ahead of Volpato in terms of development, he is actually coming off the bench regularly and staying in the first team not being dropped to the u18s. Guys got calves like Grealish he needs to be capped ASAP.

most leagues want to develop their own. As much as they just want to support the best players to get the best team, patriotism matters a lot

Alex Robertson hasn’t made any England underage teams in a long time. His loan at ross county was a failure and he’s back playing u23’s level. The same level tyrese francois, cam peupion, Lachlan brook etc are playing. 
What’s the lesson learnt? Every time a player threatens to ditch aus because he has better options we shouldn’t be falling over ourselves trying to snap him up. 
He’s obviously still very very young and could come good but he’s done literally nothing to warrant a Socceroo selection. 
Yes, volpato is different in the sense that he’s scores in aerie a and stuff but he’s played 30 minutes of professional football. 
People get fooled by constant news articles and think we have to act right now. 

Volpato has been all over the news recently so he’s fresh in everyone’s minds. I remember way back when everyone calling for Robertson to be capped by the Socceroos. Every fifteen minutes TWG would write an article about how Alex Robertson tied up his right shoe lace before his left on a Thursday and then it would start with the 
‘ he’s eligible for Scotland, England, Australia and Peru’ bullshit.

Alex Robertson doesn't even start for the u23s anymore, so he's definitely dropped down the pecking order for England underage teams, let alone Man City. Still only 18 & plenty of time to develop. Tipping he may start to take phone calls from Trevor Morgan
