realistically speaking - does Burns stand a chance of getting in the Australia squad???

i hope so, but i dont think he will.

 

what are there other midfield options?

 

No.

Considering we are playing an Asian Cup qualifier at 3:30 this afternoon with the majority of our first choice squad not avaiable (champions league / uefa cup week) and he hasn't been called up to the squad.

If he can't make this squad, he ain't going to Germany for the World Cup.

 

nar then, big lad..

whereabouts are you? Sydney?

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

Cork, Ireland. Long story - don't ask!!

With Bresciano, Grella, Emerton, Cullina, Cahill, Kewell, Skoko, Kalac & Elrich, all in line for a midfield berth before Mr Burns, I just can't see it happening!

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

I think i've met you... musta bin Colchester or Torquay, with a young 'un.

I've had a few pints of Beamish in Cork, too.

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

Not me mate, there is another guy living in County Cork, although I've never met up with him though.

Are you staying up to watch SBS's coverage of the game tonight?

Roll on June, looking forward to heading to Germany for the World Cup, we might surprise a few people!

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

I'm not getting up for it... I have to have my wits about me just a few hours later. I was at the uruguay match, though, and I'm a good bit committed. I'm going to Germany, though I missed out on all tickets in ballots. I may get involved with the black market, but I'm alright with watching the Brazil match on the screen in the carpark.

I bin following Dwight and the boys, even went down to Adelaide

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

I was lucky enough to get tickets for the 3 Australia games - can't wait.

If you're around Munich for the Brazil game we'll have to meet up for a celebratory (ha!) drink.

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

I will be in Munich, outside the ground at least. I guess I will stump up for blackmarket tickets.... but maybe not.

I'm doing plan 'B'. In the bars and piazzas in France and Italy when their teams and playing, and watching England with some english buddies in Greece.

Are you a Barnsley man? or an aussie?

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

Both!

Born in Barnsley and proud of it, moved to Melbourne when I was 6.

When I was at Upton Park to see Australia beat England 3-1, I was definitely an Aussie!

Marrying an Irish lass has certainly mixed things up a bit though!

 

RE: nar then, big lad..

Nice story. we'll catch up later as the WC gets closer. I gotta get me head down now...
