Road to Bejing - Olyroos 2008

[tuftman]

a fair few of the olyroos were living it up at the beergarden last night as they had today and last night off

had a long chat to hoffman - nice bloke and was interested in the details of the trial game

milligan and hearfield were trying to pick up some old slappers (must have been in their forties easily)

and milligan smokes like nothing else

Probably got given Arnies payout in advance......and as for Milligan where is he going?

Back to the Bling I expect

 

[Sym]

Why did he cut Djitte and Burns !?!?!?
noww they can't be roommates over their !!
Does anyone remember last season the first game verse the reds how many times Harper said they were roommates lol !

 

[offtheball]

He should have been given the chop altogether after the Asian Cup debacle last year.

The asian cup debacle that gave the same results as the world cup, 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw?
Sorry, just think thats a bad example

Not if you compare the quality of the opposition.

I agree: Oman, Iraq and Thailand dont really compare to the likes of Croatia, Japan and Brazil do they now?

 

[Blackadder]

What the hell does Arnold have to do before he gets the arse? 

 

[FFC Mariner]

Lose the pix of Lowy that he obviously uses to blackmail him with.

I can think of no footballing reason why this clown is still employed

 

[dru]

If he did get sacked can we submit an actual team?

 

[happy]

Arnie, you've done it again!

Final squad:
Mark Bridge striker (Sydney FC)
Billy Celeski midfielder (Melbourne Victory)
Adam Federici goalkeeper (Reading, England)
Neil Kilkenny midfielder (Leeds United, England)
Adrian Leijer defender (Fulham Athletic, England)
Trent McClenahan defender (Hereford United, England)
Mark Milligan defender (uncontracted)
Stuart Musialik midfielder (Sydney FC)
Nikita Rukavytsya striker (Perth Glory)
Kristian Sarkies midfielder (Adelaide United)
Matthew Spiranovic defender (FC Nurnberg, Germany)
Nikolai Topor-Stanley defender (Perth Glory)
James Troisi midfielder (uncontracted)
Tando Velaphi goalkeeper (Perth Glory)
Ruben Zadkovich defender (Derby County, England)
David Carney midfielder (Sheffield United, England) overage player
Jade North defender (Newcastle Jets) overage player
Archie Thompson striker (Melbourne Victory) overage player

What a waste with those overage players!

Oh yeah, Arnold out!

Why is Dario Vidosic not named on that list? Does anyone of you know?

None of us have any idea - and we're all really surprised, because he should have been.  But mainly, our coach is an idiot.

ah ok. I wondered if he is injured or anything like that.

 

[serious14]

ah ok. I wondered if he is injured or anything like that.

Nope.  We just have the worst coach in world football.

We have the 2nd worst coach in the world then

but the good news is that Vido will be available for us from Monday on when he has to get back to training and hopefully will get some match time this year.

Australa 3 Ireland 1

Matty Simon 7', 13', 75'

and he isnt in the squad how? Graham Arnold poses as a coach but really he is just the guy who stands there pretending to know what to do. Pretending the operative word...... so know we watch us wallow from bad to shite at the olympics as Arnold employs what will need to be a flat back six with a sweeper to stop us from being raped. Though this should hopefully serve as final notice to the FFA that Arnold is a useless overpaid spastic. ARNOLD OUT. I just hope we at long last realise that when we chose out of the 2 assistants to keep (after the World Cup), Neeskens and Arnold, we chose wrong. Neeskens became assistant at Barca, Arnold needs assistance to spell B-a-r-c-a.......

I wouldn't even wish Arnold on the jesters thats how bad he is.

 

[mariners4ever]

Is Dario on stand by if any other players gets injured before the Olympics?

 

[FFC Mariner]
