    You would and I would but Kolcatta is not a wee town with a beach in NSW.
    I hope he does well though.
    The Indian football season is very short, there were only 162 days between the first and last games of the 22/23 season. He could probably continue to spend half the year in Aus.

    I didn’t know that. In that case it’s a fine idea!

    Not really the A League but Oz’s under 23 side are playing in the Maurice Revello tournament in France tonight 10pm Sydney time….which I think is 1pm in Edinburgh.

    Here it’s being shown on ESPN and pretty sure there will be a sprinkling of European scouts in attendance.

    Oz are playing some Mediterranean select after the country they were supposed to line up against pulled out at the last minute.

    So that’s ESPN at 1pm.

    Some first timers but those who may catch the eye…..Kuol and his brother unsurprisingly also called Kuol, Tillio, Nuewenhauf, and Farrell.


    Triantis signed for Sunderland during the week.

    Oz were hampered in the first game with 5 or 6 of the squad not considered because they were playing in the A League Grand Final and only arrived in camp the day before the game.

    Cheers for the insight, always appreciated

    The late arrivals…….most of the players I mentioned bar the Kuol, are named on the bench.

    Must be saving them for the expected play off with Mexico.

    Australia are 4 minutes away from beating Mexico and qualifying for next round of Maurice Revello tournament with a fantastic performance.

    Just gone 2-0 up.

    Some terrific talents.

    You must have been watching a different game to me!

    First half they were full of lazy passes, giving the ball away and the keeper kicking just about every ball out the park.

    Second half they were a lot better though, even if the Mexicans fouled them every time they got the ball.

    Yes, some good players, but I’ve seen them play a lot better….although you are correct in saying it was a great result.

    First ten mins were ropey before they settled down. From there on in they seemed capable of getting a result but a very open game. In the second half they were far better.

    I enjoy watching them but you could see they left a lot in reserve in last two games for this decider. A good plan of attack because it worked.

    Monty’s old side, Central Coast Mariners just beat Stallions Laguna of the Phillipines 9-1 in their Asian Cup tie at a very wet Gosford.

    Mariners replaced Monty with the ex Manager of relegated MK Dons…whose name escapes me.

    Difference in ability of the two sides clearly indicated by the score line….and but for the woodwork and a few miraculous goal line clearances the difference could have been even greater.

    New A League season kicks off tonight (Friday) with Monty’s old team Central Coast Mariners away to Adelaide.
    Players to watch?

    I dunno, but the diminutive Josh Nisbet gets through a power of work and is highly rated by his team mates, and full back Jacob Farrell can crack concrete in the tackle.

    On the Adelaide side 17 year old Irakunda can score some crackers and is already attracting European attention but he won’t be going anywhere until he turns 18.

    No doubt now I’ve suggested them….they’ll all have mares!

    Looking forward to watching the game especially Irankunda.

    Really looking forward to this kicking off again. Used to watch a lot of the A-League but lost track over the last couple years. Making a point of taking in as many games as I can this season.

    Mariners literally lost half their team in the close season….not to mention their coaching trio!

    Think they are rattled after the two forced substitutions

    Macarthur 1 Brisbane 1 ended, decent game and end to end

    Melbourne City v Western United just started, am I imagining it or has Jamie McLaren munched a few pies close season as looks a bit podgy

    Also, Melbourne play in blue strips but their ground is all green seating

    They don’t OWN the ground.

    None of the clubs own their ‘home’ grounds.

    Adelaide 1 Melbourne City 0, Irankunda exciting winger/forward with a cracking free kick, only his second A league game and he is very lively, will be keeping an eye out for him, he just had a second effort from distance deflected over the bar

    Edit - 2-0 OG

    Watching the game , unfortunately missed the beginning. It looks like Irankuda scored 5 goals in 22 appearances last season. Decent starts for someone so young.

    I misheard the commentators as I thought they said it was only his second A league appearance, didnt realise he played a few games for Adelaide last season. His Australia U17 goals tally is quite impressive too

    Musa Toure another 17 year old looks a real prospect on that showing.
