Very happy for Kye. Hope he gets some game time.

Scarey that Leckie is our most experienced player

STENS in. WOOT.

Fixed for you - and how Redmayne gets picked over Birraz is proof positive that Arnold has lost it

Yep, watch the knives come out when we don't auto qualify. I feel he has brought this on himself as well.

 

[Allreet?]

Yep, my opinion hasn't changed (much).

Is Arnie picking the best Socceroos team or just his favourites? - FTBL | The home of football in Australia

Grant and Behich seems to indicate that

For the smallest club in the league we have made an amazing contribution to the national team over the years. 8 current or former players in the squad and surely Birraz to get called up at some stage. All 3 goalkeepers having come through our club. It is quite incredible. Good luck Kye. It is well deserved.

Birraz is levels above the Wiggle and Glover.

Be careful what you wish for peoples, how do you think we would all be feeling right now if we had to do without arguably our two best players for the next two games?

Losing Kye alone will likely have enough impact, so I am personally content to see Birraz stay right where he is for now and help build on the momentum we have only just started to regenerate since the COViD break.

 

[pjennings]

Yep - Birraz can go to the World Cup if we get there

Its looking highly unlikely at the moment

Especially just to get a tracksuit. Neither would be playing

Helps him get exposure to go O/S at some point.

Not really. Goes on the CV yes but being 3rd choice for two games doesn’t do anything.

If that 3rd spot was for a world cup then yes but no one will care for 2 qualifiers and he’s better off making super saves for us like that one onto the bar. That will get him a move way more.

Agents are the masters of spin. Getting selected for a national squad, whether you play or not, would certainly improve his stock overseas.

Kye has worked really hard and deserves a call up.
Playing for years as a CB in a losing team has really given him the drive to improve,
which was evident from day 1....
I hope he rooms with Sainsbury

Sains will have Arnie's daughter with him so that could get awkward...
