Typical Joel Griffiths. You can't expect anything different.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Furious Griffiths Blasts Verbeek?
JOEL Griffiths has launched a blistering verbal attack against Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek after being overlooked for the World Cup squad.

Have your say.

fucking dickhead never deserved to go to the world cup anyway

what a fucking legend, fuck diplomacy

Thats really embarrassing Joel
ugly ugly attitude..makes sense why he wasn't even looked at as he would of been a negative influence on the squad

Time to copy+paste from Joffa's post.

A part from the rage and abuse, he makes a fair point. Pim doesn't believe in Aussie football. And he has been extremely unfair to Joel. He's a great player and should've always been ahead of Archie Thompson in the Asian Cup qualifiers. What he's saying is justified. Pim didn't even give him a chance he didn't even give the man respect by watching him play. Let's not forget that Joel, like the glory trio, went overseas to boost his chances for the national team. If the new coach sees this I hope he will be able to see the point that he's making and not just think he's some arrogant prick chucking a tantrum. And just like the Glory trio he went overseas to boost his chances but instead, got ignored for 2 years.

Pim just sent an email to Joel;

' Thank you Joel, you have vindicated the reason why I left you out.'

I disagree, I think a part of the reason why Joel hasn't moved up is because of his attitude.

HTFU joel

I dont really like Joel much, but its hard to disagree with him on this one.

Guess he don't like the cornbread either...

Yea I agree, it would definitely be because of his ego.

Pim didnt even look @ him when he's ripping shit atm, that's some Grade A BULLSHIT. He's got a point and he made it in the most aussie manner.

We love you joel, heaps fuckin newie ayyy. Fight the good fight.

Joel how about u go challenge your self and play in a decent league instead of taking the easy $ option!

I never like this guy

Its not a matter of Pim seeing you perform it's a matter of you see how everyone else is performing imo RUKA is better then you, Kewell nuff said, Kennedy is a certain and McD has scored way more goals then u have at domestiv level.

Dud comment from a dud player playing in a dud match fixing based league full of cheats, writhing in agony injury fakers, scammers and liars(just ask CCM supporters). Go to Europe Joel or you will only be remembered as no more than a knackerator!!

good shit griffo
<3
think hes right saying that we need a manager that cares about australian football and not tell them to go overseas.

The attitude of "entitlement" is very dissappointing, Joel needs to make his deeds do the talking, in such a resounding way that he can't be ignored. This complaining just puts him on the back foot with any coach that takes over from PIM.
He needs to grow up.

I think Joel will find the reason for his non-selection in the article "Pim Hails Non-Ego Roos".

How anyone could look up to this f*cking douchebag is beyond me.

He has no dicipline, he's less talented than EVERYONE in the SA squad, he's spits the dummy (this is case and point) EVERY time something doesn't go his way, he mouths off about anyone and everyone...then doesn't expect consequences, his work rate has constantly been questioned by national team coaches.

I guess that's what gets people wet in Newcastle though. Says a lot.

THANK GOD he'll never play for the Socceroos again!

this seems a little suss... who emails that sort of comments to a newspaper? Not even joel griffiths is that stupid!!! surely this was a private conversation gone public...

"Not even joel griffiths is that stupid."

There's your first mistake right there.

I could not agree with you Joel Griffiths you are much better than som of players that got picked!!
Joel you have every right to be angry mate!!
You are terrific player mate

FFT really needs to get a new photo of JG, he looks like the biggest creep in that photo.

He's a fuckwad and has proven it time and time again. No chance given? How many did he score against Ghana?
He would be absolute poison in a team that thrives on esprit de corp (sp) and his sour grapes attitude and over inflated ego coupled with delusions of granduer has been his undoing again. Maybe he has some leftover valium stored up that he could use.
Imagine him at the WC. Everyone would know his penchant for tantys and niggle him until he kicks them in the jatz crackers. We are down a man. We dont need his type anywhere near the Socceroo squad and that goes for the Asian Cup too.

"FFT really needs to get a new photo of JG, he looks like the biggest creep in that photo."

Exactly, he's wearing the green and gold and doesn't deserve to be.

Shame Pim did not contact him. but Joel is a big boy.

Not good enough for the A-League not good enough for the Roos. I wonder what the Chinese think of him

Love ya Griff

Douchebag

I'm stunned that it took JG this long to have his dummy spit. I wouldn't be surprised if the Socceroo leadership group dont want him anywhere near the team.
