Tam Rogic

Jordan is 2 hours ahead of Scotland ...

He has been so injured he was on the bench for the Motherwell game ...

I recall NL saying he didn't travel for the Lazio game due to sustaining a knock in the Hibs game.

 

Aye i mean they only had him at the world cup and 6 month's later halfway through our season took him to the Asia cup playing through knee injections and called him away early from the huns away..

Nah...he's had swelling and fluid around his knee again. He's only just back from injury as well..

 

Surely our medical people should be laying down the law to these Aussie *-and just telling them, he is not fit. So * if they send their medical people to check if we are at it or not.

 

He has never performed as well for Australia as he has for Celtic anyway, I'm not sure he should even be making the squad at the moment. Has underperformed when at his best and definitely currently a long way off his best.

 

Us giving him injections and playing him through injury also played a major part i that. Catalogue of * ups for Tam last year for those who are supposed to be looking after him, both by Rodgers and by his international team.

 

He didn’t travel for Lazio because we’re managing his knee injury very carefully.

 

Absolutely that is fair. The rat was partly to blame for basically Rogic missing almost the whole season without ever being truly fit.

 

Played full game tonight.

Tom Rogic – 7.5

What a return for Rogic. Despite struggling for game time at Celtic, he looked in outstanding touch in Amman.

Marked tightly by the Jordanian midfield, he left them in his wake time after time as he turned on a dime and burst away. He earned a pair of dangerous free-kicks, although he frittered one away with a poor shot.

The most impressive aspect of his performance was his positioning, finding pockets of space between the midfield and defensive lines – and almost always managing to face forwards.

Was caught out on a second-half counter-attack and should have received a yellow card, but got away with a blatant foul.

Was given far less time on the ball in the second half, with Jordan’s coach obviously targeting the Aussie playmaker with greater attention. And his lack of game time showed, as he clearly tired in the dying stages. Could, and probably should, have been substituted for fresher legs as the Socceroos attempted to see out the final minutes.

 

Sounds like they don't give a toss about flogging him.

 

Celtic should be doing an Arsenal and telling them to * off...

“were managing injuries”

How do Australia end up In a qualifying group with middle eastern teams anyway?

Sydney is 5 times the distance from Amman than Glasgow (15000 Km v 3000 km)

15000 km.... more than half way round the world .... and they’re in the same group !!!

...the whole Asian and oceana federations are a pile of random makefit Pish anyway when it comes to qualifying groups.

 

Asian qualifying groups are split into eastern and western Asian teams, where half of each group is made up of teams from east/west Asia.

 

Did they no choose a few years ago to enter more difficult qualifying groups as beating the Islands around them 30-0 was doing their development no good at all ? Makes sense to me tbf.

 

Geography means nothing. How can Israel be in Europe?

 

Right now yes it is actually good for us for once as he needs the game time to get fully up to speed.

 

Politics.... o hang on FIFA and UEFA don't allow politics...... o hang except when they do.

 

Who?

 

Aussies. Have flogged him in the past when knew he was not fully fit

 

Pass for The Eddy goal
