PGL - 2016/2017 | Week 21 (Esteghlal vs. Perspolis) - Date/Time (+ LIVE REPORT)

[DireStraits]

Take a took at both Tractor and SS in last summer break. SS spent twice of PP in summer transfer. That team was really intimidating if Mansourian knew how to play them and yet they got the worst SS results in many years in first season. Look at Ghalenoi's squad in first season. Tractor is packed with quality Sarbaz players without spending any money. Mansourian uses a park the bus and counter attack style against PP which works in this match but overall Branco has given better results in two consecutive seasons. PP is playing the best Iranian football since SS of 2012. Today if we had Kamyabinia we would not concede the first and second goals. You should look at bigger picture and not scope of one single match.

Look Branko get more than Mansouryan. You can't convince me I am wrong to say at least twice. Esteghlal came far than Perspolis in Hazfi Cup which should give extra money per game. And no Mansourian did not change 0:1 to 3:1
using bus system. They only did lots of mancovering knowing Perspolis men play better in some positions. If we had Kamyabina argument reminds me of CQ. Branko losses and can not blame CQ. It is because Kamyabi wasn't there.
I stop arguing with you until the end of season then we will see. By for now

We should not have lost this match

Brando made some really bad mistakes and we did not take advantage of our scoring opportunities

Good game...I've always liked Rahmati but honestly his on the ground holding his back the getting right up from his so called injury. I lost respect for him doing that. I don't even care what happened between him and Jalal that's part of the game. But him staying on the field when he was sent off and coaching the players and then Taremi walking him off the pitch that was horrible to watch the referee should of had more control towards that. Only in Iran league a player is red carded and he stays on the field for an extra 5 mins to coach the players to take his jersey off nice and slowly.What a joke!!

Persepolis back end look very weak, maybe branko should concentrate on his team instead of worrying about TM and CQ.He might blame the loss on CQ.I like the fact that there was no TM representatives at the game.

That Al Sadd game was a great warm up for Esteghlal ahead of the derby. It shows why teams should plan to play with strong opponents in order to improve. NT needs to line up more friendlies like the double versus Chile and Sweden a couple of years ago.

یک کامیابی نیا نیست برانکو هیچ ابتکاری نداره کیرش تمام پرسپولیس نباشه بیخیاله

Mosalman and Taremi got in a scuffle after the game because Mosalman wouldn't applaud the fans alongside the team. Moslaman has a real garbage attitude.

Here is the video of the incident: http://static2.90tv.ir/8ca8d860/Darg...EX_90tv.ir.mp4

Taremi and Mosalman are close friends, so they will sort it out. But still, as much as I rate Mosalman's abilities, he doesn't deserve to be in TM.

probably one of the best derbies IF Rahmati did not do this "jooftak" at the end of the game. I mean really?!? Your team is up, winning the game and your dumb starts a fight!!

even 90 website has an article about this that I recommend everyone to read.http://90tv.ir/news/364619/%db%8c%da...af%db%8c%d8%9f

CQ is smart and figured this out very soon and decided not to include Rahmati in the NT, and rightfully so. As good of a player he is, he lacks IQ in management and leadership department and this could be the difference in the game.

Shame on this guy.

Shame on this guy.

Hes not even that insanely good to warrant some leeway on his incredibly stupid actions. His reflexes are good and in comparison to most in the league, hes one of the better GK's but id take beiranvand, mazaheri over him. I think Akhbari is also more talented but is very error prone rn

[teammelli91]

Like I said in my earlier post, if there was little hope left for Rahmati returning to Team Melli it's all gone now.

Jalal Hosseini has never been involved with hashieh. He is a very professional player. To see him get involved like that makes you wonder what Mehdi Rahmati said to get Hosseini that riled up.

Disgusting and childish behavior by Rahmati. This man is supposed to be a veteran. Good job, you just hammered the last nail in your international footballing career.

Congrats to all SS fans. PP played really well IMO,they had their chances too. It was pretty surprising to see Esteghlal change 1-0 to 3-1. I hope Sepahan can put a solid shift against PP next week even if they don't get the result. ZZ vs. SS should be a good one too.

Mosalman's behavior indeed was inappropriate, however Taremi's attempt put a highlight on Mosalman's misbehavior. He should have let it slip by and then pull his ear in the locker room. This more looked like a public gesture to me than anything else.

On a side note, this is the first time ever that I see a team loses Tehran derby against their arch enemy (Sports enemy), yet its fans stay in the stadium after the match and cheer for their team. Mamoolan fohshe khaaro maadar midan. Hope to see more of this!

[Farhad-7]

Kudos to the fans. They were better than usual in these derbies. Hope nothing bad happened between them post-game.

I'm a big Perspolisi fan. I don't really care that they lost especially knowing this is a derby and having that 6pt lead. Actually I won't even give a rat's ass even if they fail to win PGL.

What childish acts by both teams in the end. Absolutely feel embarrassed to see this and feel associated with my team. I know it's a derby but how often do you see all of this in one. Is this what you want your kids to watch growing up? Hope for more professionalism and less backward acts (aghab oftadeyi)

Okay where do I start? Who does Mansourian think he is? Saw him once 1 meter inside the pitch shouting instructions! He breaks the forbidden zone countless times and he gets no caution. Faghani would be different in international stage but not here??? Chill EsEs fans...an Iranian coach with PP would have probably done the same.

Rahmati. Lost for words. He was barely touched by Hosseini and used it as an excuse to start a time wasting war. Hosseini...he should not have fallen into this trap. He's too experienced. Rahmati ADMITTED to time wasting in the varzesh3 video as a way of revenge vs. Hosseini in the post game interview. I had to rewind 3 times to believe what I heard was correct after his BS of the scenario. Never thought I'd see a 35 year old man I adore so much dive like that after Rahmati doing a gangster chest. WTF.

As if this isn't too much already! A player that's sent off anywhere in the world even in fucking 4th division Malaysian league IS NOT ALLOWED back in the stadium. He stays in/near EsEs changing room and goes back with the team when everything is over. But no, there's no proper rules or rules being implemented in 2017 in IRAN yet. He wastes 7 minutes to leave the pitch and stays by the sidelines of the other side shouting instructions and jumping back in!

Mosalman may have a shitty attitude. So did Ronaldo when he was at Utd and would leave the pitch like Mosalman would instead of going to fans. But do you see someone in a normal goddamn league trying to play a hero at the worst time to show off his red-ness or whatever? Probably not but Taremi will use any chance to do stupid shit like this. Probably why he left Turkey, he wants this type of environment where he does things like this, earns much more insta followers, and does nothing useful even in a game like this.

There were other childish and middle school-like incidents from both sides that I don't feel like talking about atm. It pains me to have to see the one thing (Football) I love so passionately about Iran being like this. You have respect for this league/derby with the teams and players...it's okay to lose/draw but that's no excuse to act like complete morons in this fashion in 2017!! Now god knows what will happen to CQ and TM with all this mismanagement and mafia-bazi.

I don't regret one thing I said about my team and this league.

[Farhad-7]

Honorable mention:

Taremi taking down the Perspolis fan like an Israeli who had his hand of the ignition of a nuke to Iran. All he had to do was hold him back while talking to him like a human being until security reached and not throw him down like some piece of meat. I doubt he would have gotten to hurt EsEs players. The hero AKA taremi saves the day again. Clinical finishing move by Taremi.
