Player of the match on Fotmob.
HOWEVER - Hearts scored 3 in a short space of time and ended 3-3. Bonkers atmosphere, great for the neutral, but not for me who since yesterday is Motherwell til I die

Cam Devlin a full game for Hearts.
Next Kiwi SPL derby.
A frantic game ends in a draw here at Tynecastle.

Scrappy Doo wouldn't have been happy, I think it's him Just tears away from with the 2nd goal.

From those clips the control and option taking looks better than the a league. And these aren't the top teams.
We always knew he was too good for Austrias second tier but it’s great to see him prove it.
Catching the eye of everyone in Tynecastle. Unplayable at times 👏

He’s getting a lot of plaudits from opposition fans too. Nice to see. Seems to be thriving in that environment. ‘Well are quite good at bringing talent through so he’ll have plenty of support around him and as they’re a smaller club, a lot less expectation weighed on his shoulders. I think it took quite a few by surprised just how good they were for the first 60 mins, but this hearts side are well over hyped.
We all know Singh has quality and something different. He's just not scoring or assisting enough..

Played in central midfield vs Hearts, too, and looked right at home. Awesome Singh stand-in assuming Garbett's benched!
Everyone now knows his name 🇳🇿

Eli Just linked up with some of NZ’s top comedians while they were in town for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, before stealing the show in a 3-3 draw against Hearts 🔥
Safe to say he gave Hearts hell! 🏴👏 pic.twitter.com/7NKdOibQD8

Might be about the best highlights package I've seen of a Kiwi performing at a high level in a very long time.
You know its a good performance when even the Hearts fans were saying things like
"He's run circles around us all day"
"Could only stop him by trying to clatter him" &
"Best performance I've seen from an opposition player at Tynecastle in some years"
Great stuff. 👏

Interesting celebration to copy there.
Three for me, and two for them.
Auckland (Champions) vs Hibs (3rd place) - my bet will be on Auckland, all day.

Why do you care?
As posted in the Stanger thread, George S got a start for Killies and the 2nd goal for them.
All good stuff.
Motherwell won 1-0 against Aberdeen thanks to a Regan Charles-Cook goal after 63 minutes but Eli Just missed this game with an unspecified injury knock. Only game that he’s missed this year but the lads got the job done without him (albeit with a little less class in possession than usual). Motherwell are still undefeated this season, by the way, having drawn all five Premiership games and won all five League Cup games (including one via penalties during the group stage... probably should count as a draw but the idea still stands).
The 2 Aussie Greeks Koutroumbis and his replacement Stamatelopoulos with a goal each.
New Socceroo Milanovic an unused sub for the Dons.
Motherwell with the toughest game in Scottish football. A visit to Celtic Park. Celtic juggling midweek Europa League games. Just not listed on Mothwerell's injury list, so touch wood he's good to go.
Edit - Motherwell lose 3-2. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos a double for the losers. Stamatelopoulos still not really in Socceroos conversations. He'd be handy for the AWs.
He’d probably start beside Chris next week if he was available for us. Sad to say that at the last WC we played in we had 4 strikers all at a good level playing well and scoring, now we have just one and he’s the wrong side of 30.

To be fair though it’s like we swapped our midfield and striking resources. Perhaps even our midfield/defense.
Then we had Vicelich out of retirement and Barron, an amateur player, on the bench.
If we count Just and McCowatt, Garbett, Singh, Bell, Stamenic, Thomas, Rufer, and Ben Old we have 9 quality players there. And Parker-Price emerging from hibernation to boot!

I’m sure Ivan would have still been pro had Auckland had an A League team then.
We were significantly stronger up front, midfield is stronger now but Elliott at that time was better then any one currently IMHO (Stamenic to hopefully better his level while Thomas and Just are different sorts of players) and at the back, then easily, though in 2030 I think that will be our strongest position again. Keepers are better now and our bench is much much stronger.
