Video taken on the sideline of how the fight started

[Keano]

I get that nekounam is a coach and shouldnt be running around and everything but lets be real people, just running past a bench does not deserve the whole squad and staff coming after you like that! If im not mistaken, all he did was run past them not show them any gesture (until they started coming at him then he did). The Qatari's were butt hurt and acted like the children they are, its as simple as that. How many times do we see coaches jump up and down and celebrate.

Also keep in mind this is nekounam's first game as a coach. Like a player, theres a learning curve and everyone will make mistakes (again, I dont even think this was that bad or a mistake to begin with but I can see what you're saying).

On the flip side...what sardar did was 100% ridiculous, low class, and disgusting honestly. His action yesyerday made me think very differently of him. As keano mentioned...he flew in out of nowhere to start even more trouble and easily could have and quite honestly should have gotten a red. JB and Gucci should be the role models of this team, never do you see these two getting involved in any kind of hashiyeh because they're smart and have some class. Sardar needs to take notes and pay close attention before it screws him and the team over in a more crucial part of WCQs!!!

GA jaan,

We're not here to give the no identity team of Qatar a moral and demeanor class, I could care less how they behave and play. But what I am concerned about is our own action for may warrant some serious reaction and punishment by FIFA/AFC.

We are only responsible for our own action, and not others. Therefore honestly It is quite pointless to discuss the immorality of the Qatari team. [emoji846]

Wowwwww, thank you so much for letting me know. Dammit this will make a big difference in watching and enjoying the matches!

Keano jan you just can't watch it with an IP address from US. You can download a VPN http://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_us and connect to Canadian server for example and you'll be good to go.

We have to keep in mind that our guys did NOT start the physical confrontation. Nekounam is experienced, yes, but he was still a player till literally this summer. I'm sure psychologically he still sees himself more as captain of the team than as a coach. Winning a crucial WCQ opener...in front of a sold out crowd...in the most dramatic fashion when everyone thought there were only seconds left in the game... these are all factors that make it easy to see why Javad would celebrate that way. But ultimately he only CELEBRATED. He did not punch, slap or kick anyone. The ones who need to be ashamed are the ones who spent most of the second half grass rolling and then tried to start an all-out brawl after conceding a late winner.

Personally I'm glad to see the team stick up for each other like this and have this kind of Us Against The World mentality. This is quite new for us actually! One of the most pathetic things I've seen as a TM fan was the 2008 loss against Saudis at Azadi after they scored the second goal. Our LB Ashjari tried to take the ball back for a restart and a group of Saudi players surrounded him and started pushing and shoving and manhandling him--without a single one of our players bothering to stick up for their teammate! I felt so embarrassed watching a rival team come to our house, take the lead, proceed to push and hit one of our players in front of thousands of fans, without even one of our guys trying to defend their mate.

Querioz has already talked to Nekounam about this from the reports I've read so I'm sure he'll keep his cool from now on, but I'll take passion and overzealous celebrations over that pathetic indifference and cowardice we had under previous coaches.

I just hope our players are now focused on China. Let's forget this match.

Nice, thank you so much Amin jaan. I really appreciate it. Downloading it now

You guys can look at this any way you want. We can analyze every finger pointed and or every move by the players and coaches. The fact is that this was THE MOST MEMORABLE, SATISFYING AND JUST win against an Arab team.

[Omids]

The fact that Nekounam was ejected after the incident and he walked away without too much fuss shows that he was not totally in the right. Yes there was a lot of emotions and joy after the goal but we had the upper hand there why create a fuss that might have escalated to the degree that the game would have been stopped and FIFA having to step in. We were lucky that the Bahrain coach cooled things down with CQ or things could have got ugly and that too to our detriment.

I agree Nekounam needs to get out of the player mode and realise that now he is a coach who stays on the sideline and not on the field.

[Martin-Reza]

This was simply positive celebration. No taunting or provocation. If Qataris can't deal with emotions in a football game, they can quit. Nekounam shireh!

[AliCarbon]

Qatar= Sore losers. Instigated the whole thing. Glad the security came in and was about hand these grade a a$$holes a whooping.

Pejman is the calmest guy I have seen. He is in the middle of a brawl getting push and tugged at and his face is so relaxed.

If all this "passion" was dedicated to stuff that matter we wouldn't be such a poverty stricken country.

He's the truest Mr. Bean I've seen in my life

[Camran khan]

Whether we were in the right or wrong, we can be sure of one thing, that Qatar is gonna make it even harder for us to beat them in Doha. They will probably use every dirty trick in the book now, not that they were very fair before this incident, but it will probably be worse now..

[OFFSIDE_1]

Lmao if I was on the field I would be dropping Arab bodies like hot shit in a toilet

You'd have to look hard to find any Arab bodies
