Well done Boyler for a fantastic debut - the goals will hopefully be the first of many.
This experience being involved with the Australian national side will do his confidence wonders and we might see a kick on with his quality domestically.

Feel like a proud da!

Absolutely chuffed for him.

***Hibernian Verse*** · 20-11-2018 06:10 PM

It's a cracking jersey too.

Delighted for him. Hope it translates into even more progress at Hibs. Can't help feeling Scotland's loss is Australia's gain here.

Delighted for Boyle. He’s probably guaranteed his place in their Asia Cup squad which isn’t good for us come January though.

Absolutely delighted for him. The boy just keeps getting better and better. 2 goals in 2 caps isn't a bad start at all.

**LithgaeHibby** · 20-11-2018 08:28 PM

Brilliant from Boyle! He'll be buzzing to get fired in to Dundee - hope he's not too jet lagged though

**S4uzee** · 20-11-2018 08:40 PM

Probably the most improved Hibs player in my time watching

**Forza Fred** · 20-11-2018 09:33 PM

Was at the game along with a few others, displaying the Australia Hibs flag, which was captured on television.

Martin has become something of a cult hero out here since he arrived, having had massive media interest, and is now known as the Tim Tam Man....since he disclosed his liking for the brand of chocolate biscuits.

Martin and Jamie MacLaren saw our flag as they walked around the stadium at full time and they were right over to say hello, and bumping into Mark Milligan after the game, he too was delighted to have his photo taken with us and the HIbs flag.

I'd post the photos but am technically challenged!

Down here, we are immensely proud of all 3 of our Socceroos, and they were perfect ambassadors for Hibernian Football club, not only in how they conducted themselves on the field and in the media, but also by their down to earth and sincere approach to us far off fans.

I think they were just as pleased to meet us as we were to meet them.

Hope to see a lot more of them in the coming months.

I know you can only judge on the information you have at any given time but it's crazy now to think plenty people were critical of Stubbs for bringing him back after his initial loan spell.

The improvement he showed firstly under Stubbs and then continued and accelerated under Lennon is remarkable. He's not a world beater but he has appears to have a willingness to learn and his attitude to the game is 1st class.

Delighted for him and I'm sure the Aussies are delighted to have him.

Spot on. Well done Boyle.

A lot of people say a lot of things about Stubbs, but he had an eye for a player.

Obviously Boyle is a far superior now to the player who first arrived on loan, but he did make an impact straight away for us and has been a highly effective player from the word go.

I don't remember anyone criticising Stubbs when we brought him back. From what I recall the general consensus was that we had re-signed a very good squad player who had impressed on loan. Obviously he's gone above and beyond that now.

**Hi Heid Yin** · 20-11-2018 11:05 PM

Martin Boyle has lifted his overall game to a completely new level.
So good to have him at Easter Road.

***Baader*** · 21-11-2018 12:00 AM

Brilliant for the Starman. Deserves everything that comes his way. A good player who works as hard as any footballer I've seen and never gives up. Bravo Squirrel!

**EH54** · 21-11-2018 12:15 AM

Am I right in saying Scotland can still call him up as it was only friendly's?

Kind of. Its not really that simple but he isn't officially locked yet. He will be when/if he plays at the Asia cup in January.

LOL, even if it was possible I'm not so sure he'd be jumping back at the chance to bench warm in Europe on cold winter International nights and sit at home in summers watching footy on TV when he'll now be playing in places around Asia such as Singapore, Japan, China, Malaysia etc and having his summers filled with major International tournaments. Good on him.

I'm not saying he would ever consider it. Just wasn't sure of the rules. Would be some u-turn right enough.

Thought that. Cheers mate. Let's get the Pressure on mcleish now haha. Nah in seriousness worked out well for him. Well deserved.

**Forza Fred** · 21-11-2018 03:51 AM

I think many would be surprised by the level of media attention Martin has attracted down here.

Graham Arnold took a chance calling up someone who had never put a foot in Australia before, but Martin’sperformances on the park and his unassuming humble persona in the media have won everybody over.

I think Martin will come back a better player for this experience.

That would be nice.

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 21-11-2018 07:17 AM

Well done Martin. From coming off the bench for Montrose to scoring doubles at international level. His hard work and dedication has certainly paid off. Oh and btw, he’s only 25.

***The Spaceman*** · 21-11-2018 07:21 AM

So pleased for him, a very likeable character and a really good wee player for us these days. He is also the kind of guy who will take massive belief and confidence from this, so will hopefully push him on even more! Must be brilliant knowing you'll be jetting off to/with Australia a couple of times a year to play across Asia, in case playing Hamilton 4 times a year gets too much for you! Also a chance to play in the World Cup...
