I find it hard to believe that Pim has been right about something.

Pim just went up slightly in my estimations.

good point, memory, it's a selective thing.

lol... what did Emmo get sent off for against Croatia again?

It happened under Guus - remember Harry having a crack at the referee after the Brazil game?

I do like Pim sticking up for his players publicly. Graham Arnold could learn from this.

However, I think it was a fair enough question considering Cahill's sending off, Moore's first yellow card, Lucas & Moore arguing/abusing the ref in the Germany game, Grella & Cahill's tackling in the New Zealand friendly, Harry generally arguing with refs (when he has been on the pitch).

Like it or not, it is a pattern that has been going on for some time, particularly the senior players.
It did not happen under Guus, but then again he didn't stick around for long.

Don't shoot the messenger Pim, pull them into line.

Would have loved to hear him say "Schurely you are taking of the pisch, you fucking idiot"

Should have called him a "fucking idiot" on camera, if nothing else he would have endeered himself to the nation as being being rinky-dinky Aussie.

Where, where????

Haha, love it. =d>

Here, here!!!!

Pims right Victor ,was a stupid question . Why didn't you ask him why ,after having told all of us that Scotty Mc
was more suited to a 4-4-2 system ,and you only played with one striker , did you then go and pull a 4-4-2 out of your arse against Germany for the first half .

Just in case this thread gets back to him, I am actually a fan Victor but am just a bigger fan of the idea of Pim using profanity.

remember Frank telling SBS to get stuffed after the Aus/Iraq game in 05.

You're not an australian coach if you have told SBS where to go. (You're also not a real coach if Bresciano doesn't aknowledge you)

Fair responce from Pim :)

It is a stupid question. First one was a tackle that Tim tried to pull out of anyway, and the second one was a handball (allegedly :\). Yeah, real discipline problem there, you fuckwit.

Pim Verbeek was showing his disapproval in a much more direct way by giving an SBS reporter a gobful straight after the match. As an official partner of the World Cup, SBS is entitled to a brief exclusive with the coach before his all-in press conference. SBS reporter Vitttor Sobrail asked Verbeek whether our two red cards in successive matches suggested the Socceroos had a discipline problem. Verbeek said on camera that it was "a stupid question" and, off camera, gave an even pithier assessment. "You're a f***ing idiot," he said.
