doesnt that back-up my point that he needs more suppot?

no, he is up to SPL standard but not up to international standard

he has played in internationals with two strikers and was even worse
Mick i think he is a goal poacher and your right in a way he gets a number of chances playing for Celtic.
I personally would love to see him get out of Scotland and play in Europe or EPL before i make the call on whether he is up to it or not. We didnt use him right last night.
He won't play in the premiership or any of the top European leagues.He would disappear without trace imo.I think the SPL is as good as it gets for Scotty Mac.His strike rate this season is not that impressive(14 league goals) considering who he's playing for and the amount of chances he gets.

I don't think he has ever generated much interest from clubs outwith Scotland.
 
Is very good win against the Uzbek cawksuckers!

In reward for winning this game i let pim verbeek and all the soccerwho's receive sexual favors from my pet goat

The boos were for lack of Tim Cahill

Mmmm hmmm, right.  So every other time he's been booed (home and away - he copped it even worse in Japan) and abused was for a lack of Cahill as well??

This hand out is for tax payers [but only if you earn under $100k] not dole bludgers!

They're being held up by some National Party States-rights crank with an axe to grind in the High Court. 3 of the 6 States are joining with the Commonwealth to give him a touch-up in court, and the others are in support.

Hi Sean

Wednesday night was another great occasion for football in Australia.

While we haven't definitely booked our berth at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa yet, we're very close.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who attended the match in person.  It truly was a miserable night weather-wise in Sydney, but we still had a very vocal, passionate sea of gold around the Stadium and I know the players and coaching staff appreciated it.

With only three games to go, all of us are quietly confident of making it to South Africa and I hope you can continue to be part of the journey.

Thanks again for supporting the Qantas Socceroos.

Cheers

Ben Buckley

P.S Holman is the future of the Socceroos, he will kick the World Cup winning goal at Saffa next year

vocal? pah.

Plenty loud where I was.  Where did you end up??  (having said that, there were about 60 singing/make noise types (Coast and Sydney) jammed into a 25 seat area...... not that there's anything wrong with that  :p)

couln't hear anything coming from the back. we could sometimes hear GGA, so in the absence of anything else going on we'd kick along with that, but generally speaking it was pretty quiet. loudest things all night started from over in the eastern stand.

GGA and the local crew being separated by 30 odd rows of absolutely nothing happening is a big problem. it's the squadron and their melbourne mates are down front, coasties and cove crew are up the back. problem is that from the 3 nsw groups, not everyone is there. moreover, those that are there aren't all working together. it's still completely fractured. it's worse at homebush because of the sheer size of the bays. the groups are so widely separated that it doesn't work.

if we could do the olyroos vs iraq setup again i'd be a happy chappy - that had a mix of everyone in the one spot and it worked really well. every match since has been rubbish in comparison.

I'm not gonna get into the Home End debate again...... people full well know where I stand on the issue.  GGA have shown a complete reluctance to co-operate both home and away (their total ignorance of 90% of the Australian contingent in Yokohama ignoring them was nothing short of insulting), so we're moving on without them.  When their capo ends up wearing a burberry and Newcastle scarf (so not only looking like an idiot, but wearing club colors to add insult to injury) and doing the same chant over and over (I love the Crocodile Rock Australia, I really do - but 50 times in the one half when you've got nothing else??  Give it a rest....), it's really hard to respect that.

We had a gentleman's agreement of sorts nearly 2 years ago to let the home team of the stadium in question run the show - every single game since (with the exception of Melbourne, duh) they have wilfully ignored that, refusing to liase with us outside of "who's bring the mega".

It was incredibly noisy where I was when all the singers piped up, and I agree that the hole in the middle is a problem...... it's getting all those who've stopped coming to NT games because of the shit caused by the GGA to return.  That will do a more than decent enough job of plugging the gap.
