TM-News-

[Bi-honar]

You have no idea what you're talking about. You literally have no idea what's happening behind the scenes. Do you really expect us to believe that CQ is sabotaging himself? If he's turning down friendlies, there could be 1,000,000 reasons that neither you or I know about. The fact that you have the audacity to create this laughably false story based on bits and pieces of BS you've weaved together from the Iranian yellow press shows that you have an anti-CQ agenda. LOL.

LOL. So, now we're not even supposed to get our news about TM from IFF, IRIB or Tasnim and should stick with pure speculation backed up with absolutely nothing?!

Who said CQ was sabotaging himself? He's just doing a very shitty job of being the TM coach 5 days before the 2nd set of FIFA dates rolls by since he signed his contract. And what million reasons we don't know about? You just have to read the news - there was nothing non-factual in that post.

Baba Iran is going to get fucked hard with their non-synced game, just realise it. They're gonna look like a bunch of kids who have never played with each other.
Iran as a country is screwed, IFF as an incompetent organization is as much screwed.
Such a piece of bad preparation you gotta search a long to find.
For God sake, we can't even play Shit African teams anymore?!?!

They have Ebola? Fine. Send them to QOM.

Please don't be surprised if the S. Africa camp (another genius idea from CQ) gets cancelled too and don't blame it on the federation. He arranged that game a week after S. Africa announced that they will not be holding the Africa Cup of Nations in January if Morocco drops off because of Ebola. What kind of a sane person goes and arranges a camp in a country and invites and African team, right after they announce that they don't want to host teams from Africa?!

Sane? What does Ebola has to with Iran playing against Kenya, S.Africa or Zimbabwe in S.Africa? Just because there is an outbreak in certain parts of the continent doesn't mean all of Africa equals Ebola transmission. None of these nations have shown any presence of the virus and the chances of it reaching any of those places are (almost) just as slim as it is for it to reach Iran.

They have their reasons for not wanting to host the African Cup of Nations (affected nations like Guinea and Mali still have chances of qualifying and a continental tournament will attract fans from some of these nations) but that is not comparable with Iran going to S.Africa.

Ebola is none existent in South Africa , Kenya or Zimbabwe

No game with Zim regardless which one ( Ebola, Nabi, CQ) is responsible

قوانین فیفا دیدار ایران و زیمبابوه را لغو کرد

خبرگزاری تسنیم: سرپرست کمیته بین الملل فدراسیون فوتبال گفت: طبق قوانین فیفا تیم ها باید بین دو بازی که در ۲ قاره مختلف برگزار می کنند، حداقل ۳ روز استراحت داشته باشند.

According to IFF, Jamali

بر اساس قوانین و مقررات و بخش نامه های بین المللی باید بین دو بازی که در 2 قاره مختلف برگزار می شود حداقل 3 روز فاصله وجود داشته باشد، علاوه بر اینکه مدت زمان پروازی تیم ها هم نباید بیش از 5 ساعت باشد.

based on FIFA rules, the teams have to rest at least three days between any two games in two different continents and duration of their flights have to be no more than five hours, Jamali said.



"After preliminary talks for a friendly game between Iran and Zimbabwe, we sent the required forms to FIFA, seeking their permission when we were told that Zimbabwe had earlier registered another friendly game in Morocco with the country's national team."



Jamali said that Zimbabwe's game against Morocco is scheduled for Nov. 16 and based on FIFA rules it cannot play another friendly against Iran on Nov. 12.

Baba, honestly this isn't the federation's fault. CQ tells them to book a certain team a couple of weeks before a FIFA date (be it Kenya or Zimbabwe or ... and for some reason he has a hard-on for African teams and Ebola at the moment) and they do their best to get it done on such ridiculously short notice, but he's asking for impossibilities here (in this case, the game would have been against FIFA regulations!). This is how this game came about:

Honestly, if it wasn't for the federation bypassing CQ and booking Korea, we wouldn't even have a game on the 16th. And CQ was even complaining about that game last week!

FIFA regulations aren't shit you find out about as a coach two weeks before game time. These games should have been requested by CQ and arranged in early 2014 or worst case scenario after the world cup when he took a two month vacation. Even now, when our preparations are in total shambles, he's in UAE watching beach football!

Didn't you guys read what our good friend from Sweden said, that he had to beg CQ to accept to play a friendly with Sweden. As soon as he gave the go-ahead, the federation made it happen. This guy's honestly killing TM and I know his first excuse if we fail (zaboonam laal) is going to be that he didn't get the full support of so and so in our preparation!

Why is this even a debate? CQ is being paid by IFF, he is an employee of the IFF...if CQ or IFF screws up it doesn't matter, in the end the federation, it's technical, coaching, and any other employee are to blame. This is poor planning, mismanagement at it's best. Another fail for CQ and his employer.

That may be so Sarbaz jan, but Kenya is a major transport hub in Africa and one should not ignore warnings from major organizations like WHO or the World Bank IMHO.

May be now we come to our senses and play teams like Kuwait and Jordan who may be more relevant to our AC campaign.
