Partick Panther Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Spare just a Wee Tiny Thought for the Aussies' the poor souls. They have been Humped 6-0 to both Brazil & France in Friendlies recently and their once German Coach/ Manager got the old Heave Ho on the weekend. Ok they won 3-0 last night against the Highly Ranked Canadian Side (152) but the run off from these 2 big defeats has been on the go since the weekend and the bickering amongst the former players like Robbie Slater ( Blackburn Rovers) Mark Bosnich ( Chelsea, Man Utd & Aston Villa ) towards the current squad and in particular towards Luca Neill ( Blackburn Rovers now Sydney F.C ) has now reached the Boo Hoo stage with all the backstabbing that is going on. Now the search is on Big Time for a new Coach/ Manager before next month. This is not good especially as the World Cup is only 9 months away! Talk today is that they will go for an Australian Coach/Manager although Guss Hiddink is in the Frame too! He got them to the 2006 World Cup. Time will tell. At least they got to the World Cup which is more than I can say for the Scotttish Team although they got a good result last night too!

Blackpool Jags Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Scotland have nobody to answer to. No disrespect at all, PP, but I couldn't give a toss about what's going on down under. Tonight belongs to Bonny Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect at all, PP, but I couldn't give a toss about what's going on down under. Tonight belongs to Bonny Scotland. Blackpool Jag, You should note that there are a few thousand Scottish Born residents here in Australia and although I can say that their hearts all belong to Scotland their Heads are saying "Live here in Australia" so I think I can speak for all of them that follow Fitba that they will be cheering on the Aussies in the World Cup mate otherwise they would be cheering on Scotland for sure if they had managed to get there! Who will you be going for instead of Bonny Scotland then mate or will you not bother? By the waynmate, I've lived here now for the past 26 yrs and on any weekend I can be seen wearing one of my Scotland Fitba Jerseys or one of my Partick Thistle Jerseys and with Pride too mate. There's no problem over here with any trouble because of wearing a Fitba Jersey in or out of a Pub or Club I might add! Cheers Mate and MONNNNNAAAAATHEEEEEEEESSSSELLLL!!

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 . At least they got to the World Cup which is more than I can say for the Scotttish Team although they got a good result last night too! Are you the guy that graffitied that wall in the industrial estate just off Ashfield Street heading up towards Milton, with the immortal words Scotttish Home Rule with three T's in the 80's?

uberteeb Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I've still got an "In Gus We Trust" t-shirt from the 2006 WC, they should get him back if he is available. Â Australia should also ahve been given the 2022 WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Edmonds Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Australia are absolutely dire. Even in the darkest days of Levein's tenure we managed to give them a convincing enough going over. Why a world class manager like Hiddink would waste his time there again is beyond me.

As you would expect we Scots get called "Haggis, Sweaty Socks, and even the dreaded Scotch! The Irish of course are the Paddies and the Welsh are known as the Taffs!
