The only downside of this is if that Gulum still doesn't budge(for obvious reasons like his own personal safety in Istanbul) then it only means that his place in the 50 would of been in place of most probably Shane Lowry. Either way I don't see any harm in his inclusion. Like I said, you never know.<br /><br />BILLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-39791465034035337842010-12-27T22:36:59.520+11:002010-12-27T22:36:59.520+11:00so this 50 man squad is official?

Unless Osieck and Gulum have come to an understanding. <br /><br />nevertheless, the guy will have 2 busted knee caps if he plays for Aus now and turns his back on the Turks.<br /><br />horse<br />footscrayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-60981621954038376772010-12-27T22:35:03.546+11:002010-12-27T22:35:03.546+11:00BELLBOY RECKONS...
