Fair play to the guy. He has copped some serious shit over the past two years, takes it on the chin goes to the world cup and is probably our best player and scores two goals.

Nice work Brett look forward to seeing you in Aussie shirt again.

My humble pie tasted a bit bitter this morning.

Highest goal scorer in the 2010 campaign.

Kudos to the Goalman.

Live long and prosper.

In my opinion, Holman does add something to the team, he buzzes around at high speed, tackles & harasses the opposition.
He has obviously grown in confidence & now is getting his shots on target.
Holman is not very good at completing his passes to team mates but as long as her concentrates on putting the ball in their net, then who cares.

I'll eat some humble pie also. Imagine how good he'd be though if he knew how to pass.

I'm naming my first son Holminho in honour of him :lol:

Holminho Barnes.

Got a nice ring to it :lol:

Dear Leader Julia Gillard will be renaming the 'Order of Australia' medal, the "Brett Holman award for awesomeness"

:lol:

Any bets on which EPL club the Holmaldinho will join now? I see an EPL move for him in the next year or so.

Never say never, that goal was one that causes transfer intrest.

Think we're more likely to see him move to Germany. But EPL could happen, who knows?

Good to see everyone backing him now. Always deserved more credit. Who knows he might get a move. But I watch the Dutch league a lot and he is a top player there and seems happy. Good to see Australian names in the transfer market. Well done Holman

Screw Julia Gillard; Holman should become our next PM!

Always been a massive fan of the lad, through good times and bad.

WELL DONE, BRETT!!

Waiting for those who slagged Brett Holman off for 3 or so years -

Line up and apologise.

Do so if you've got any balls. Or don't, if you're Heineken.

Goalman is the closest thing to a god I have!

:lol:

I think Heineken said he wants to have his babies or something, that count?

only if he knew how to pass better...
but hey, im no piece of art either.

kudos to Holman.

he's scored 2 more goals than rooney and messi put together! :p

Holman is the new Viduka

His pace and movement are best suited to winning promotion from the english championship. Can't see him being a success in the EPL, he'll get taken out by the likes of Mascherano or Essien.

Yeah, two goals at a World Cup can't be sneezed at. And I am pleased to say I was on the record on this site as having stuck up for him before the World Cup.

Holman, Valeri and Beachamp is a good grouping of young players with World Cup experience to build our 2014 qualification campaign around.

At 25 and 26 respectively, Valeri and Holman don't exactly constitute 'young'. Even if they are mads to look so by the likes of Moore and Chipperfield.

But they would be 'young' senior players at the next WC, should we get there. This is especially so compared to our much older senior players this time around.

Said best here I think:

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/forgive-me-brett-for-doubting/story-fn5cbl7x-1225883906959

the guy has copped the flack, but he turned it on in the cup. he now has to continue this form. i think hes played better when we attacked and not our defensive shit.

Worth noting that Holman probably won't be as nimble as he was this time, and his technical ability alone won't be enough to get him to another WC.

very nice goal mr holman

Proved Pim was right all along and the crowd was wrong..

well done holman
you proved all your haters wrong

you'll be vital for 2014, keep it up

Am I a hater? I feel conflicted but know my gut feel is correct. Good on Brett Holman for his 2 goals. Bandwagoners have been watching him for 2 matches, me since 2006. Let's see how it goes.
