Former Young Socceroo and Olyroo Mustafa Amini ran out 109 minutes for Randers in their 2-1 Danish Cup (DBU Pokal) quarter-final loss to FC Copenhagen overnight.

Randers had forced extra time in the first minute of second-half stoppage time via Kasper Junker but Mathias Zanka secured victory for the hosts with four minutes remaining in extra time.

Sublime strike from Tommy.

Surely more 'suitors' will NOW be making better offers than what Leeds proffered for his services at the beginning of the year.

Hopefully a good payday awaits CCM.

Look forward to seeing him play for the Socceroo's this Thursday night in Adelaide against Tajikistan.

I know your'e tongue in cheek, but it would be such a backward step for Tommy I can't even wish it on him.

Barring further disaster, I think he's got a very exciting career ahead of him that we will all particularly get to enjoy when he's in green and gold.

Not sure about the starting 11 myself. I'm sure plenty of clubs are paying attention. There's a huge amount to like in this last season and the fact he's not always starting can mean he's a better transfer target, not a lesser player. They only have to take a look to know what he is or look at his stats.

This season he's made 23 appearances averaging 67 minutes a game, and a goal every 3 games and an assist in every 4.3 games. He's also scored some real crackers and some very clever goals and contributed well over all. Biggest weakness is his defense... but he's a genuine/proven goal scoring and creating AM. The offers were coming months ago... more will surely follow.

Aussie Rogic goes from hero to zero for Celtic:

Australia's Tom Rogic blazed the decisive penalty well over the crossbar after scoring an equaliser in extra time, as Rangers knocked Old Firm rivals Celtic out of the Scottish Cup.


Rangers stunned their rivals 5-4 on penalties after a pulsating 2-2 draw at Hampden Park to book their place in the Scottish Cup final, with Socceroos playmaker Tom Rogic missing the decisive spot-kick.

Ex-Celtic striker Kenny Miller gave Rangers the lead after 15 minutes on Sunday, scoring an instinctive finish after Hoops captain Scott Brown deflected a cross into his path.

Patrick Roberts spurned a golden opportunity to level the scores, hitting the side netting with the goal wide open, but Celtic equalised shortly after half-time through Eric Sviatchenko.

The substitute got up highest to head in a Roberts corner after 49 minutes and Leigh Griffiths wasted a good chance by shooting off-target as the game drifted into extra-time.

Barrie McKay drew first blood in the added period, turning into a pocket of space 25 yards out and arrowing an unstoppable drive into the top-right corner, but Rogic tucked in a second Celtic equaliser from Kieran Tierney's low cross.

Griffiths almost won it in the final stages of extra-time, but his long-range free-kick cannoned off the woodwork.

After both teams had netted four of their first six penalties, it was Rogic who followed up Nicky Law's calm finish by blazing his kick well over the crossbar in to spark wild celebrations from Rangers' half of the Hampden crowd.

Mark Warburton's side - who were recently promoted back to the Scottish Premiership for next season - will face fellow Championship side Hibernian in the final after they beat Dundee United 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

Watch the video
here that some are calling the worst penalty ever taken in an 'old firm derby'.

Great second goal by Rangers.
Rogic looks classy.
The penalty was as bad as you will ever see. I think he shat himself but deciding penalty on old firm derby can do that to you.

Meant to put this up a couple days ago .....

Australia captain Mile Jedinak will have a chance to play in the FA Cup final after Crystal Palace edged Watford 2-1 at Wembley to book a date with Manchester United in English football's showpiece event.

Congrats to the big man, here's hoping holding the Cup aloft at the mighty Wembley as the Eagle's Capt. (after whats been a difficult season mentally for him) can become a glorious memory for the former Mariner.
