Chin up timmy the ref was a toss bag.

What are we going to do without Cahill. I guess Holman could come in but who is going to score? Kennedy cant do anything, Ruka isn't up to standard, who knows if Kewell will play. Dario(maybe?), Emerton? im not sure we can win against ghana who are fast and young like Germany.

I know one thing is for sure Moore is shocking and is far to slow and needs to be dropped now!




What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Cahill Inconsolable Over Red?
AN INCONSOLABLE Tim Cahill has described his send-off in the opening match of the World Cup against Germany as the saddest moment of his career and broke down in tears in front of the media following the Socceroos' 4-0 loss.

Have your say.

poor fella i really feel for him!
why did we have to get the mexican matthew breeze??
he was a f**kin tosser, he better not get another game.

5 WC games is recent history and not a decent, unbiased ref performce to be found.

Neil was shocking too. I think Beauchamp, Milligan and Carney should come into the backline to support Wilkshire. Carney would give extra mobility and Beauchamp and Milligan would at least be hungry to prove themselves. If Kewell is fit than I guess Holman or Bresciano will replace Cahill. Given Bresc's form I hope it is Holman (*can't believe I just said that)

The ref did ok. He gave 2 simulation decsisions our way and the linesmen got the off sides correct. It wasn't a penalty for hand ball. The send off was harsh but we had our chances and can't blame the ref.

this red card is a good thing trust me, cahill will be fired up when he returns against serbia in a must win game after beating Ghana, he will get fired up and score a hat-a-rick to send the socceroos into the last 16

A straight Red = 2 game suspension.
He will have to appeal to get the 2nd match ban lifted. (should be able to)

Its only a one game suspension. And they are tossing up whether to appeal or not. If they do appeal I would really like to see them get Schweinsteiger to go with them to the hearing so that he can help put up a case for timmy if possible. The fact alone that he came out and said it wasnt a red card should help. As for the handball penalty appeal. A lot of referees would've given it as it stopped a goalscoring opportunity. If he didnt get in the way that was going in, keeper would've had to have made a good save to get it.

dont worry timmy the socceroos will do it for you

The Germans really do have a multicultural team... their 12th man was Mexican.

Could be 2 game suspension.

milligan - neil - beauchamp - chipperfield (or carney)

wilkshire - culina

emerton - garcia (or vidosic) - bres

Kewell

You were warned after the NZ match about poor tackles would result in red cards at the WC. You should have listened

Vince Grella: "F..ck no-one died. It's a game of football. They are very good. We knew they were going to be a tough opposition. We just have to sleep it off and start again tomorrow." Ha ha love vinnie, his just cut he wasnt sent off 1st.

everything that could have gone, did go wrong.

Thanks jollyrodger - I have been searching everywhere for some clarification on this, but there does not seem to be a hard and fast rule.
Heres hoping....

Could you repost the link. Davstar deleted it when he edited his post :evil:

Do not measure this loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them (by someone I can't remember right now)

the ref is a tosser. in other news, dont worry tim. You wont get banned for two matches.

when you return you'll bag another goal to send us into the 2nd round. Yep we'll beat ghana :P

gotta love this guy. im sure will get the 2nd game lifted and score a goal or two for us against serbia to get us through to the round of 16!

He got a yellow for a red card tackle on Bertos & a red card for a yellow card offence on Schweinsteiger :-k

Still a awful tackle by Cahill. Late and from behind, two things outlawed by FIFA

Ghana aren't going to be easybeats. they are second in the group, and have the prfect chance to proceed to the next round. Even if we beat ghana, it would have to be by 5 goals to ensure that we get to second, THEN we have to beat Serbia.

if Pim continues to use these tactics...pack your bags boys.

Yeah I read somewhere else that a straight red is a mandatory one match suspension, and if the review panel decides there was malice and intent a 2 match ban is imposed.

I'll stand by Tim to the end but lets get serious here. This is not the EPL where it's often WWF with a football. We had a wake up call against New Zealand only a couple of weeks ago when Tim & Vinie should have been red carded. No more excuses.

I hope there are no "#-o" decisions regarding a playmaker to replace timmy. Kewell or Culina for me, not a fan of Garcia in a central position

Ahahaa... Seriously? We are going to play the "ref stole our cup dreams" card again??? Really??? Sorry, tactically we were soundly beaten, technically we were soundly beaten and one bad decision is not going to change that in the slightest. We need to realise that Pim is not a good coach. He has proven it by making the most fundamental mistake you can. Trying to play a team that is not suited to the tactics you lay out. If he was serious about last nights tactics, he would have put McDonald on... Oh... Wait... He left McDonald home because Australia doesn't play two up front o_O Dickhead.

haha what? we need to beat ghana by 5 goals and beat serbia to get through? that would mean wed have a okay goal difference and 6 points. thatd be enough to win most groups. Calm down and think a little.


W D L P
Germany 3 0 0 9
Australia 1 1 1 4
Ghana 1 0 2 3
Serbia 0 1 2 1


So basically if we beat Ghana we will just need a draw against Serbia to go through (assuming neither Serbia or Ghana beat Germany which seems 90% likely given how good the germans are playing).

I would actually not mind a draw between Serbia and Germany, that means they have to beat Ghana to secure number one spot. Otherwise they will play a second string side against Ghana and anything can happen.

*** Double Post***.

Let's look on the bright side, we are probably in a better position than Serbia. Serbia lost against Ghana and they still have Germany to play against.

If we could win against Ghana (which we did in 2 occasions) and win or even draw against Serbia we are through assuming Ghana loses to Germany, which is very likely.
