I love the fact that our guys are going - but I'm also glad Goodwin got there. He has a wicked set piece delivery and he plays with a smile on his face like Jason and Garang

He is hot when in form and he seems in form at the moment so deserved his call up.

Goodwin's comments about the team achieving something at the WC not just happy to be there are great.The whole team hopefully on board with that attitude.

Don’t worry PenClaren will start against the Frogs and do jack and never be seen again at the tournament. The Dingo will prove himself, I hope.

Does anyone know how Kye got his red in the weekend? And do suspensions carry into the world cup?

A shirt pull. Technically correct but even the player wasn’t appealing for it on that replay. And no they don’t affect WC, presumably because that would allow all sorts of bullshit manipulation for foreign players. Send off Messi if France is playing Argentina, etc..

 

[booney]

Wow that Hearts goalie was terrific and the Livingstone one was pretty good as well.

Definitely a penalty( and what a save).Did the shirt pull deserve a red card?

Too soon man. Too soon.

Have to laugh at these digs like McTapp and PenClaren as if it is derogatory against him. The guy is getting ridiculed for scoring goals.

If Cumming was a “tap in merchant”, find better space in the box, or could score penalties then he would be wearing the nine, not McLaren.

Got to agree with you here and would be happier to see Maclaren taking penalties if he is on the ground. However, JMac is like most of our strikers and needs quite a few chances to score - and I suspect we won't get many chances for tap-ins. We won't get many chances in general so whoever is picked needs to be on every time.

I think the issue is those goals are used to justify his place ahead of others when we don’t get those chances he relies on at international level and results in him being a passenger.

If we had a penalty guru like Jedi still in the team it would be one less reason to include Jmac. As it stands I’d be much happier with Jmac taking a penalty for Aus than Cummings.

That’s well and good but people are bleating on how Cumdog should be picked ahead of him as our main striker. McLaren has eight goals in the last six games and Cumming two in five.

Cumdog would’ve had more if it wasn’t for the ref’s.

Maybe one legit goal at the most. And Cumdog also missed two penalties and a number of shots in the box in the that time.

I think he should be purely because he will bring others into the attack more. Yes he's missed some sitters and I'd rather someone else take penalties but I'd wager his output combined with getting more from the wingers & other mids would eclipse Maclaren being more clinical in limited scenarios.

8 goals in 6 playing for the richest team in a small comp where he can afford to be exactly what he'sbest at. Now he's going to the WC and he'll need to be a completely different player to get goals. That's why everyone is bleating about it. He'll need to drop, hold the ball up, bring wingers into play, play neat one twos, make runs from the shoulder to get in behind, you know everything other than standing on the edge of the 6yrd box and receiving chances. Not saying that's his whole game but that is how he scores his goals.

How many assists has McLaren got compared to Cumdog? An Aussie striker needs to do it all. He's not going to receive the service he does at City. Either that or he starts hitting goals from everywhere.
