    Agreed, it definitely looks like he doesn't give a toss about us or the long-term well-being of Rogic.

    If you contrast the attitudes of this clown and Rogic (who hasn't played a single competitive minute for us this season) against Clarke and Griffiths (who has agreed to leave him out of the Scotland squad despite him having featured in 8 games and bagging 3 goals this season) It's night and day.

    If Celtic can't make a stand within the rules and Australia are allowed to call on him then it's time we had a bit of loyalty back from Rogic and he tells them naw. He's been picking up £20k per week since going away with them in December and hasn't contributed a thing to us in that time.

    Now now, be fair. We Australians can't help our perfect weather, beautiful landscape, shapely women, world class health system, universal employment and Hun-free pubs.

    Neither can we help it if Tam wants to play for the NT.

    I've said many times on these boards that Tam loves playing for the NT. All footballers in Oz grow up dreaming of playing for the Socceroos and that's where Tam comes from.

    That said, I am stunned that he would want to play now. He owes Celtic big time. It is his duty to get fit and if Oz can't beat the likes of Kuwait and FFS Nepal without Tom Rogic, then we are truly screwed in any case.

    Donkey?! You're a * donkey. Tom Rogic is arguably our best player. In my eyes, he is.

    Christie is a work horse and looks occasionally very good (not to mention strikes a ball beautifully from range), but he's not in the same league as Tam. Ideally, I think we should look to accommodate both and play Ryan deeper when both are available. Can't mind the last time we had that luxury though!

    When was the last time that really showed on the park though, between injuries and international travel robbing us of him for extended periods it's frustrating as *.

    Tams a better player than Christie 100%

    But we never get to use his services with how injury prone he is, the the whole travell8ng to the other side of the world patter... Ive said it in here before onve hes fit he WILL be injured again before the end of the season! No a wee niggle, good 6 weeks atleast

    For these reason if we had bids for both,
    I would rather we keep Christie

    Is he though? Younger, faster, scores more, when the team was utter dross he lifted the entire team and we won everything before he was injured.

    Personally I think Christie's over took him.

    Technically a better player yes but not overall, Rogic can come up with moments of magic and change games but struggles in Europe and to play full 90 mins. Christie adds more to the team, but Tam definitely adds something else to the team when fully fit and sharp.

    Occasionally very good? Sorry mate he lit up our season last year when he came on against the diets to turn the game.
    He has been MOTM in the first few games of the season and if played as the 10 , with the right mid field behind him is better than Tam. Who in my opinion has went backwards.
    He cant last more than 60 mins, is injury prone and or away with the Socceroos.

    By the way love big Tam but Christie is more all round and always available...

    Christie is suitable for a club with our ambitions.

    Rogic could play for nearly any top team throughout Europe. That is the difference.

    Is he a bit of a crock? Aye, but we wouldn't have him if he was a super athlete capable of playing 40-50+ games a season.

    Hes not that good. Rogic is here because that's his level. Christie will continue developing and be snatched up by shitie southampton before you know it.

    Said it before but it’s frightening how overrated Rogic is by some of our support.

    That's ok, you're entitled to your opinion, but have a look around and notice how many teams he would actually get into.

    We miss him badly.

    * sake, some amount of pish being spilled about Rogic and Christie here. Christie is up there with Ajer in the rate of development, he's an absolutely brilliant player who would run riot in England.

    Same goes for a fit Rogic. What's the big deal with a player wanting to play for his country, we don't want players who aren't passionate.

    When Tam is fit he's going to be great in a midfield that involves Ryan hopefully but let's not lose the plot and compare them as if it means something.

    Why hasn’t any of them came in for him? With how cheap he’d be in the current market especially.

    He’s basically a man down most of the time in Europe.

    Christie is far superior.
