Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has moved to clear up speculation linking his Australian defender
Rhys Williams with a move away from the club following links with a series of Premier League
outfits.
The likes of Liverpool, West Bromwich, Newcastle and Bolton have all been reported to be keen on
the 23-year-old Socceroo but Mowbray insisted they weren't pondering letting him go.
Stephen Ireland wouldn't dare forget to bring his snakeskin pants to Ronaldinho's next pyjama
party...would he?
If you think this is good, just wait.
It gets better.
Saturday
- We offered our steamiest congrats to Barcelona's Victor Valdes, who received the Catalan
Athlete of the year award.
In tribute to some little heroes
HE'D JUST set up the winning goal and was standing with the goalscorer, in front of the Sky
reporter, ready to hand him the man of the match champagne – but Charlie Adam had one thing he
really wanted to say. "I'd like to dedicate the win to Brad Jones who had a difficult week losing
his son.

A minute's silence was held prior to Melbourne Victory's league fixture vs. Perth Glory this
weekend, after it was announced that Luca Jones, son of Socceroo's goalkeeper Brad Jones
(above), had passed away.
Luca, who was five-years-old, had been battling leukaemia for eighteen months.
Dem Reds were missing Marcos Flores - how could he be replaced?
Well Dario Vidosic may not be Flores, but the returning Socceroo has comeback so much more
influential than the young boy who left after season 1.
He has tricks, an aggressive eye to go forward and makes mayhem.
A welcome addition to the league.
The A-League is back - the Young Socceroos have played their World Cup - so how many of our young
guns are flying around the league on the opening day of the season? Or come to that the next group
of Young Socceroos?
Steven Lustica - hard to believe a Young Socceroo couldn't get TWO full games with the Gold Coast
over the last two seasons, walks into a four year deal with Hadjuk, has played a number of crucial
games in the centre mid position already.
Cashed up and paranoid AFL have another wee problem to solve.
Delighted when they assisted to sabotage the World Cup bid, ecstatic when the recent growth of
professional football was halted; if A-League crowds and failing teams/owners is anything to go by;
the all powerful AFL must have thought they'd thwarted football expansion.
Entering its second season, Melbourne Heart FC will be looking to improve upon its 8th place finish
in the 2010/11 Australian A-League. Featuring several players with recent Australia junior and
senior national team call-ups, the club was recently linked with veteran Socceroo and former
Liverpool FC midfielder Harry Kewell.
I was sad when Mr Flores left for China, he has so much skill - and then Bernie said Harry wasn't
coming. Harry has a fair bit of skill too - although he may yet turn up.
I'm a Celtic fan and although Liam Miller (not so much skill) signed for former Rangers player
Fergusons' Perth Glory I wasn't that happy about the stars of the new A-League season - albeit a
long long way off.
Ross Aloisi received the PFA Craig Foster Football Media Scholarship, in recognition of
his work as a football analyst for Fox Sports and a regular columnist for Soccer International.
Aloisi played in the old NSL and was a part of Adelaide City's championship in 1992. A Socceroo who
spent 6 years in Europe, he was a key player in the establishment of both Adelaide United and
Wellington Phoenix in the A-League.
Socceroo David Carney said: "I just got dragged into thinking it was going Nearpost.
"If I didn't go near post he probably would've went there because there was so much room. It
was one of those decisions you had to make."
"I listen to the Nearpost poddie every week and Holger reminds of the tagline each game.
DOHA, Qatar – Socceroo striker Tim Cahill is racing the clock to be fit for Australia's Asian Cup
semi-final against Uzbekistan next Tuesday. Asked yesterday if he would play, Cahill said only: "I
hope so." Cahill was touch and go for the Iraq match, after badly bruising a thigh against Bahrain.
He managed to play [.
Really looking forward to this mouth-watering clash as are the Koreans if you go by the numbers of
Koreans posting on Aussie blogs!
Young fast and mobile with players, that's Korea, playing in big leagues in Europe against an
Aussie team ageing and in decline.
Korea thumped Australia 3-1 earlier this year in Seoul and it could be a similar night tomorrow.
