Life's a bitc.h for .....

[Doctor DOOM]

Life's truely a ( a very bad woman / hell ) for our incompetent coach, branko, these days.

apart from losing support for his backward thinking and attitude, he is CONSTANTLY being proven wrong on his choice of players too.


lets put aside all those favorties of his, like yahya, daei, nosrati ( until he was dropped ..... finally ), zareh, zandi, .... who are either so out of it or at best, arent doing anything that justifies their presence at the team.


lets consider those who were the victims of branko's malicious bias and (mentally challenged ) selection:

1- Mobaali.
he's the star of his team, doing virtually everything in a foreign land.

he's also proven ( as always ) to be a great general and playmaker.

his ability in free kicks ( something that is drastically missing in TM ) is thrown into branko's face week after week.

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


2- kazemian.
he's the star of Iran's and asia's most popular club.
his frequent assists and goals are ( or shd be ) like thorns into branko's eyes.
.... especially when the TM is suffering from lack of goal scoring !!

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


3- Sadeghi.

apart from being a successful ingredient to IPL's leaders' defense, he also plays well in a position and zone that is TM's most weak and controversial zone.

his scoring ability seems to have been drastically improved, also.

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


4- Khatibi.
he's known for his speed ( which is lacking incredibly at TM ) and scoring ability, especially against tougher opponents and more difficult situations ( remember bringing down PP IN TEHRAN ? )

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


5- Talebloo.
he's approaching the feats of the great abedzadeh.
and weekly he underlines his how in-form he is and what a blessing he is to SS, IPL leaders.

he also happens to play in a position that is among TM's weak points.

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


6- Sepehr Heidari.
yet another lynch pin of defense in Zob ahan, who is praised for his versatile and impressive displays by one and all experts.

he also happens to be playing in TM's weak spot.

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


7- ....

I could go on and on, with names like Mani'ee, taghipoor, ....

But I guess the above shd suffice to drive home the following:

even despite TM showing immense weakness and deficiencies in many areas, and these players showing how useful they can be to TM, we witness an almost child-like obstinance from our ever-incompetent coach who insists on his failed experiments ( like trying a central defender as left back, .... and failing miserabely & continuously !! ) with no regard to the deserving players.


now , can anyone tell me why we shd support such a deficient mentality?

why we shd allow such an attitude to lead us at the WC games? which would naturally mean a much WEAKER representation of Iran and TM at the games.

I can understand some may not have lofty goals and ambitions. and mere qualification for the WC is a source of contentment. mediocrity seems to prevail in their minds.
fine.
they have their irrefutable right to such standards.

some even put branko ABOVE the good of TM and Iran !! ... strange and shocking as it may be.
( I, personally think that is tantamount to TREASON against our Iran )

but it does not mean we all shd follow this mediocrity and lop-sided attitude.

we want the TM to achieve its POSSIBLE MAXIMUM at the games. not a milimeter less.

and with branko, we are definitely condemned to mediocrity !!!

[Martin-Reza]

Yeah, what great proof once again. Please let pros decide and accept their decisions look different to yours.

[ARYA]

Great examples DD, every single one of these players should be a member of our TM, some should even be starters in my opinion, players such as Mobaali, Sadeghi, Kazemian, and the rest should at the least be on the reserves bench. Talebloo has to be given time, even if he is to be a reserve goalie he will need international experience, when and where is he or for that matter any reserve player going to receive the international experience in order to remain calm and confident if their services are required.

[Arashi_Washi]

I agree fully on This and i would also like to Add Oladi to that list,

Anyway Great post Doctor Doom and lets hope Branko opens his eyes and invites these players,

Or after the World cup we can get a coach who actually cares only about inviting the best players to the team and not the big names

[faraz]

Please let pros decide and accept their decisions look different to yours.

LOOOOL...MR jan, it's like asking me to dance the polka, don't even try.

On a serious note, I would like to see Mobali back in there, probably even Kazemian. I am quite sure they'll make the WC team anyways and you know what DD will say once Branko does choose them right?

"WHY did it take so long to realize that these 2 are great assets to the team?
WHY do we have such a wimpy coach?
WHY this, WHY that"

I say DD sends a coaching application to the IFF - maybe we'll win the WC.

[Crooked I]

all nothin for team melli,maybe mobali and kazemian should get a chance again but both suck in tm .......

[Doctor DOOM]

an update on barnko's suffering :

1- enayati having scored a brace in ss' game ( wasnt it last week or so, when he scored yet another brace ? )

2- Kazemian scoring two today.


underlining branko's skewed and biased attitude.

[Martin-Reza]

boohoo bad Branko

[Martin-Reza]

Btw, 4 of your 6 buddies are in now.

[Doctor DOOM]

boohoo bad Branko

my dear lord, at the face of such profound reasoning and intelligent remark, what can anyone hope to say ???!!!!

I'm stumped beyond reason !



-----------------

2- as if these "buddies" of mine are there to play for ME !!!

such outlooks at the team and why it exists , just shows how removed a person can be from a country, and how misplaced one's loyalties can be.

dear misguided fellow, they're there to play not for ME only, but for you, and all the rest of iranians.
now, excuse me if your priorities ( branko , basically ) are different from most iranians, ( which is TM and Iran).

but, then again, this is what one gets to see if a person puts the coach or player or an individual OVER the team !

........ and this skewed priority ( branko over TM ) is evidence enough.


-----------------

3- we shall talk after the team actually PLAYS

mere call ups have been done 100 times .
what matters is who gets to play, who gets tested, which zone/position is fixed as the result, ... .

otherwise sadeghi, khatibi, .... have all sat either on the stands or the bench before !!

[P.Nima]

Martin Reza, why are you being so ignorant?

Doctor Doom is right in every aspect, and your supposed to be the proffessional one?

[RaginG Inferno]

2- kazemian.



4- Khatibi.
he's known for his speed ( which is lacking incredibly at TM ) and scoring ability, especially against tougher opponents and more difficult situations ( remember bringing down PP IN TEHRAN ? )

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!


5- Talebloo.
he's approaching the feats of the great abedzadeh.
and weekly he underlines his how in-form he is and what a blessing he is to SS, IPL leaders.

he also happens to play in a position that is among TM's weak points.

Branko recently invited these 3 players. But, there is no appeasing you.

Hey DOOM, let's make a bet: If we go through to the second round in the World Cup, you have to change your avatar to Branko, with the caption: "MY LOVE" underneath it.

You can decide my avatar, should we fail to do so.

EDIT: He also invited Sadeghi.

[Martin-Reza]

Martin Reza, why are you being so ignorant?
Doctor Doom is right in every aspect, and your supposed to be the proffessional one?

He's right in barely any aspect.

The hard truth, which hopefully is no personal insult to DD, is that I believe to I have a certain to me satisfying standard of football knowledge. But it's not even close enough to be on the same level of professional coaches. I lack knowledge in many departments and would make a fool out of myself if I tried to judge a pro coach by his decisions.

Now I see DD's postings which sometimes are rational (it's not that he doesn't know that there are 22 players and one ball), but so often include embarassingly naive and wrong stuff that I by know way could believe that he has a much higher standard than myself - and his CV doesn't quite suggest he is.

This lack of knowledge (in comparison to a pro, not for a fan) is paired up with an unbelievable aggression and, sorry, arrogance. The guy really believes he could teach Professor Ivankovic in many aspects. That's just ridiculous. And that people are buying what he's saying is really worrying.

Is Iran really so much lost with so many fans who fall for such amateurish analysises? No wonder the Iranian press is so ****ed up and yet sells enough issues to survive.

Today on IRIB the reported indeed dared to ask Ivankovic if he's afraid of playing big teams and if that's the reason why TM gets no decent friendlies!!

What an utter stupid question is that? In any other country the guy would be kicked out for this idiocy. But no, many think that's a realistic concern.

Back to DD, you say he's right in every aspect?

1- Mobaali.
he's the star of his team, doing virtually everything in a foreign land.

he's also proven ( as always ) to be a great general and playmaker.

his ability in free kicks ( something that is drastically missing in TM ) is thrown into branko's face week after week.

Virtually everything in a foreign land? He's in UAE, not in Germany, and as sorry as I am he will not get beyond that (I might be wrong though, because unlike other individuals here I don't think I'm an allmighty coach). He's playing a position we have three players under contract with Bundesliga teams. He has had 32 (!!) TM appearances and I can't remember one single outstanding one, in which he did anything decisive. His freekicks might be great, but that is one of about 1235 aspects that matter for a football player, wow, great that he's good in one. How about defensive behaviour after turnovers, crossing in sprint with his leftfoot or one-touch passing under pressure - and about the remaining 1231 aspects?? DD doesn't care. He's not educated or trained to precisely observe, analyse and consider all of those aspects and he doesn't know what most of these factors mean for a team (other than a highly payed pro coaching staff who are considering every factor and not just a few they like). Yet DD is supposed to be right "in every aspect" because of two lines??

2- kazemian.
he's the star of Iran's and asia's most popular club.
his frequent assists and goals are ( or shd be ) like thorns into branko's eyes.
.... especially when the TM is suffering from lack of goal scoring !!

yet, branko's immature lajbaazi keeps him out !!

He's not a star, maybe a starlet and the club might be popular but is highly struggling in the league. He played crap for a while and now delivered regulary so is back in the roster. He plays in a position where we have superstar (Kia) and Rajabzadeh who has even more goals and more assists which "should be like thorns in DD's eyes" which means it's unlikely he'll get much playing time for anyone who prefers logic over blind hate against an individual.

Same for all of the critisizm. It's a populists agenda against a coach he dislikes (which is his right). It's targeted at people's imaginations ("imagine what we could reach...") which are unlimited and unfortunately unrealistic often. It starts off rational by mentioning obvious weakpoints, then announces easy (and mostly plainly unrealistic) solutions. That's of course popular. Thinking by trying out two more keepers we'd solve our GK problem, proposing to try out every player who doesn't obviously suck and solve every problem by that and stuff like that of course is a nice thought many happily adopt.

People love it. It keeps the illusion alive we have everything it takes to be a topside but just minimal things are preventing us from that. An in order to explain the very unrealistic circumstance that an amateur like DD knows that and the coach doesn't, he's simply labelling the coach as idiot, stubborn or names conspiracy theories (Daei lines up the team).

It's hard though. Everyone is immediately insulted when he's reminded that he's probably wrong in most aspects. And if they have the choice between DD's fantasy world where just two lil' things and an idiot of coach is between us and being a great footballing nation that barely ever loses or my view that with our ****ed up infrastructure it's a wonder that we consitantly get good results and that we simply don't have enough talent in our country to eliminate all weakpoints - guess which choice makes people sleep better...

hehe
hey rags, if we go to the second round, not only I will do that, but I'll come and say he is my god and profess my undying servitude to him.
.... and do it with a huge grin on my face and take pleasure doing so, coz MY TEAM has advanced, and in the face of that none of this matters.

happy?

but if we dont, what would you do?

----------------------

btw, human jan claims they have a file on each and every IPL player.

I'd LOVE to know what is in the files of the players I mentioned ( especially MOBAALI ) that makes them so useless to the team.

[Doctor DOOM]

no insult taken, coz I hardly understood some of these sentences and what you were trying to say.

now, I'm no judge of english, coz I am bad in it , I profess.

but , come ooooooon .... ! ..... :

He's right in barely any aspect.
The hard truth, which hopefully is no personal insult to DD, is that I believe to I have a certain to me satisfying standard of football knowledge.
.............

============================

as for the rest, I disagree completely.

I , nowhere, have said I know as much as a coach, or want to coach or .... !!

but then again, I dont bow my head and accept any crap that is thrown in front of me as gospel and irrefutable.

you expect me NOT to say anything about the most OBVIOUS lacks & defects in the team , just becoz I dont have a coaching degree ?

where is the logic in that?

does one need a coaching degree to notice mirza is poor in his exits? ( pun intended )
notice I never say branko or begovic or sajjadi or taghi or naghi, shd do this ( ....... ) and this ( ......... ) to train mirza for crosses coming at so and so angle and at such and such speed, and trajectory and ... !

but by the gods, you can not take away my right of questioning why the guy makes the same bloody mistakes after 4 years of having two choghondars as GK coach in the team, fully supported by branko !!

here's what I posted elsewhere to the FUTILE attempt and claim : "understanding football is beyond a regular fan":

riiiight !

it takes 2 full years of university studies to notice a team is incapable of stringing 3-4 passes together in opponent's half !

it takes another 1.5 years to be able to notice the left side of the team is left "be amaan-e khoda" coz the player who is put there wrongly, likes to drift to the center all the time, thus making our left side a toll-free highway for the opponents.

it takes a sepcial diploma ( on top of the above years ) to notice we just cant score against pisspoor teams or C grade oppositions !!

it takes a phd to notice just how badly our left back position is handled !!


that's right, ladies and gentlemen .
it takes approximately 7-8 years of hard work and 2 degrees + 1 certificate + 1 Phd to qualify someone to say " baba our team doesnt play well. we have problems and these problems have been there for the longest time. " !!!!!!!!!



























.......... however, in THIS dimension, we have a different reality.

bottomline is; say what you want.
and lay down any edict or fatwa on "who shd speak about football and who shd'nt".
that's YOUR right.

but dont expect everyone to fall in line and accept this, coz to some ppl it just doesnt make sense.

we've had a trillion discussions on such matters.
remember the doctor-patient ?
or many analogies like taking a taxi , when the driver is obviously wrong and some may continue sitting in it and go nowhere , while others get off and take one who KNOWS the way....

and I'm just SICK of repeating things every 2-3 weeks.

it's as simple as this:
you like ppl to behave like sheep and not question the most basic and mundane matters in such an EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND sport like football?

look elsewhere.
I'm not going to be ur favorite person.

others?
I wont speak for anyone else.
they have their own ideas of themselves & self-worth .
some may like this "hands-off attitude" that when failure comes, they'll say "oh, I dont know. I cant be responsible. it wasnt me....!!"


but know this:
a sign of intelligence is the ability to question things.


===============================================

btw, all that dissection of players would have served us better if it wasnt from a hypocritical stand point.

coz before we try to belittle anyone's performances ( in reality, big or small ) and characteristics, it'd have been wise to make sure the team doesnt have even MORE players playing at lower quality .

care to explain the following , with the SAME attitude that you did with mobaali and kazemian , I wonder?

- madanchi

- zandi

- ansarian

- zareh

- navidkia

- daei ( cant believe I'm saying this, being his fan. but when we talk about form and reliability and ... we just cant leave anyone out, can we? )

- yahya

- niki

- oladi

- ...


and do let us NOT go back to a year or 2 years ago to justify them being in the team TODAY.
coz names like Lotfi, shahbazian, bayatinia, .... will come up as great players who shd be in the team too.
just becoz they were GREAT players a few years back.

we are talking about NOW & PRESENT.
( hence I included one of my favorite young players, navidkia, who is a tremendous player, but sadly is NOT in form. and that's the reality )
