I posted this video in another thread but I'll post it here as well.
Abedzadeh posted this video of Ali Karimi's interview back in 2012 and I just edited that specific part cause I think it's a great reminder to those with short term memory who are taking side with branki and karimi on this issue
It is a sad day in Iranian football when people think of PP or SS over TM. Iranian athletes, such as Gholamreza Takhti who put representing Iran above everything else, are probably rolling in their graves (may he rest in peace). At the moment when it is the most crucial for all sides to be the most united we are bickering like old house wives. It has become depressing reading this thread.
while qatar has 1 month for preparation against our TM. same goes for uzbekistan and the others.Quote:

Well said Amin. I have to say, who the fuck is br-AN-G0H to even question, let alone outright veto, CQ's previously approved plans for the national team?! This charb-zaboon, fraudster only came back to Iran after being unemployed for a full year and a half because he couldn't get a job anywhere else. After a repetitive history of getting fired from crappy teams, one right after the other, after only one season, this poroo now thinks he gets to call the shots?! I can't even believe we are having this discussion; a guy who coudn't even get a job as Real Madrid's water boy has veto power over CQ :furious::furious:Quote:

As was mentioned earlier in the thread, branko already had ample opportunity to raise his objections to the previously announced scheduling of the camps, but waited till recently. The timing appears odd, and makes me think he is up to something fishy.
"I Like to Coach Iran at World Cup Once Again", Branko Ivankovic Says
Apparently he gave an interview in the past where he stated that he would like to coach TM again in a World Cup. I just hope he is not deliberately plotting to sabotage TM's preparation so that the national team hits a rough patch during the qualifiers, causing CQ to be fired, and himself receiving the job, but it seems that he is not above that type of repugnant behavior.
Prior to returning to Iran in April 2015, branco was unemployed for one and a half years; I can't think of any half-decent head coach that remains unemployed for such a long period of time. His last coaching job before PP was in his own country (with Dinano Zagreb for the '13-'14 season) ..... which fired him after only five matches! (This is the same team that he brags about making Croation league champs in '06-'07). The season before that ('12-'13), he coached Al-Wahda in the UAE, which fired him after just one season! The season before that, ('11-'12) he coached Al-Ittifaq in KSA, which also fired him after one season. The season and a half before that (December 2009 - May 2011), he coached a team in the Chinese league, called Dong, lol, and was fired after only one and a half seasons! Notice a pattern of repetitive, short-term firings (from crappy teams as well)?
To put it charitably, a collective assessment of his coaching history, record/results, as well as the places where he coached post-TM, is not exactly enviable, lol. He only returned to Iran because no other club in any other country would offer him a job, not because he is an Iran doost, or other charb zabooni he routinely spews during interviews. Ajab poroo. I won’t forget how in 2006 he chickened out and fled like a scared crook instead of returning with the national team to Iran; in an interview with BBC Persia in 2013 he said that the reason for his non-return was that he wanted to go back to Germany and watch the rest of the WC, which is absolute bullshit, considering that CQ came back with the national team, explained himself, and then went back all the way to Brazil to watch the remainder of the tournament. br-AN-G0H could have done the same.
I hope he is not plotting to steal CQ's job, but the more I think about it, it seems that is exactly his intention. For a deuche that was stupid enough to accuse an internationally respected headcoach of playing a "dangerous game", at this point there is nothing more dangerous than deliberately jeopardizing the preparation of a national team for imminently pending WCQs.
Here's another video that's right on point regarding Karimi's true position on br-AN-G0H, specifically when it comes to a heachcoach having "courage":
This is from when the national team returned after WC '06. He explicitly called out his former coach for being too chicken to come to Iran to explain himself to the people, and how if he had any courage and he was in the right, he would have come to Iran with his team and made his case before the country (which BTW is something CQ actually did after our match vs. Bosnia two years ago).
Now, he takes the side of the very same "coach" who he attacked and accused of being a tarsoo, and suddenly accuses CQ of not showing courage? This really shows that you can't put too much stock into what Karimi has been saying recently.
I lost respect for Ali Karimi when I figured he a lazy player and didn't want to stay in europe when he had the talent to do so. After 06 he played very bad in every game for NT
That is ONE of the saddest part of Iranian football and one of the reason why a lot of people lost interest since 2006. This country, football is full of people with double standards. Hezb-e-baad.Quote:

Dear Colleague Mr. BranKo.
The End.
Since you did not assume your mistake, this is my last comment about this subject.
As far as I know until now you did not come out and - as a Gentleman - you did not apologize to the president of IRIF or to the Federation and League Board. You did not apologize to Persepolis Fans and not even to me. All this knowing that you made a serious mistake and that you have been unfair and incorrect.
You insulted and offended Team Melli Coach, Carlos Queiroz, one colleague that always showed and treated you with respect. For witch reason, only you can explain. You know you can’t escape from apologize and with humble and honor tell your Persepolis fans to stop insulting me, because you are totally responsible for this situation. If you think i get intimidated you make another mistake.
If you think you become big or stronger engaging this wave of insults against me, you are totally wrong. Every day that you delay your apologize to me and to Persepolis Fans, you are with out any doubt growing your fault. Even if you regret those words, with out apologize you become smaller and smaller every thay. You take the risk to go from Branko to branquinho (litle branco in Portuguese). As a football gentleman you will loose all your reputation and credibility and very soon, some how some way, people will start to say that this, at the end of the day, was always your real face.
Dear Persepolis and Team Melil Fans.
I wish you all my best wishes. I feel really sorry and disturbed for this sad and regretful episode. As you know, without reason unfortunately Mr. Branko produced false and malicious comments about me. I am still very chocked and surprised with those non-ethical accusations and until now there is nothing that can explain or justify that personal public attack against me, Team Melli Coach.
I totally reject and refuse the accusation of stopping players to make medical tests. Only one mind that is out of order can make the accusation inside one official facility of the Federation, with the support and cooperation of the Director of that facility, that the National Team Coach Carlos Queiroz is the one that now decides who is Champion or get relegated in the League. This is absolutely not acceptable coming from the coach of such a great club as Persepolis.
Thank you anyway for your always-welcome comments.
With my best wishes,
Carlos Queiroz
