Boyle, MacLaren and Milligan all named in the Australia squad to face South Korea in Brisbane, and Lebanon in Sydney.
Possibility that all 3 could be on the park together in Brisbane.
If that does happen then It will be the first time three of our players have been in the same side international wise with the exception of Scotland I think.

Whether they play out there or not I suspect this will rule all three of them out of the Dundee game 24/11. Guess they will be back with Hibs 22/11 and knackered after two 12-hour body clock adjustments in c.10 days.

The Lebanon game is billed as Tim Cahill’s Farewell...he will get a cameo role with ten minutes to go so the fans can say goodbye to him in his home city.
Arnie has already suggested that the 4 A League players who were added to the squad will get game time in this one, so don’t expect a full Hibee complementt on the park in this game.

Great that our players are getting international recognition but from a Hibs point of view it's a nightmare especially with the hectic December fixtures.

Twice daily to Glasgow .
They go business class .
Milligan and MacLaren will be well used to it.
Boyle will be wrecked .
It’s a killer of a flight . I’ve done it often enough .
Not business class tbf

Finland 4-1 Northern Ireland, October 1999 - Jarkko Wiss, Mixu and Jonathan Johannson all started for the home side. A midfielder by the name of Lennon played for Northern Ireland!
Northern Ireland 1-1 Portugal, November 2005 - For seven minutes of this game Colin Murdock, Ivan Sproule and Dean Shiels were on the field. Had Murdock not left us in the summer of 2005 then that would have been the precedent that the Aussies will likely make against South Korea!

Suspect Tom Rogic will be on the same flights from Dubai - Australia at least.

I have done a one-week turnaround to Oz and back just the once. Wasn't too bad out there, but was floored for a week after getting back. And that was business class - my one and only such trip. Barry.
If they are smart they will be starting to adjust now - increasingly earlier to bed and earlier to rise.

They played Saturday morning (Sydney time) in Honduras and had to play on Wed here in Sydney .
The used scientific light altering glasses and had 15 physios on board the flight . Very hi tech and advanced to try and beat the jet lag .
In 2006 when the Aussie’s qualified against Uruguay they used a more devious method .
The CEO of the FFA who was the one of the richest men in the country simply booked nearly every business class flight out of South America forcing the majority of the Uruguayans to fly economy .
It obviously had an effect as the Aussies beat the far stronger team( on paper )Last edited by Sproule Three; 08-11-2018 at 10:56 PM.

I’ve lived here for 18 years and travel it every couple of years .
Only time I wasn’t really jet lagged was when I was over for 21.5.16 .
I flew Scottish business class ( economy but nae kids in tow , aisle seat and few sleeping tablets )
Was so buzzing for that 5 days I never really got into any sleep pattern so was easy to adjust on coming back here

Boyle wants to get his head out of the Antipodes and more into the Easter Road area because he wasn't very good last weekend.

Not sure how many game a season our lads will have to play in Oz, but if they were to return on a, say, Thursday (for example) I wouldn’t expect them to be able to play on the Saturday.
