I'm confused. Yorke can score with Il Duce's or David's? I think there are rules against man-handling other players.

Guaranteed to get a response from your opposing player if you do that! Either a belt in the mouth or an invite to dinner! ;D
Lawrie needs to have a good season next year. Someones looking at an A League position! Last two questions are the ones to read
Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek opens door for an A-League stint
By Robbie Slater
March 01, 2009 When Pim Verbeek arrived in Australia, many football fans wondered how he could ever fill the boots of Guus Hiddink.
Now he has the Socceroos virtually one win away from next year's World Cup.
And while his recent appraisal of the A-League caused outrage among some critics, "Aussie Pim" says that was never his intention, declaring in this wide-ranging interview with The Sunday Telegraph's Robbie Slater that he would even consider coaching in the A-League beyond 2010.
Robbie Slater: There's been a bit of talk about you criticising the A-League. What is your message, has it been misunderstood?
Pim Verbeek: Yeah, totally because I didn't criticise the A-League. I said I was not very happy with Jason (Culina) coming back to the A-League.
I think everybody knows that he will never be a better player coming over here.
He has assured me he will maintain his standard of play and I have to trust him on that.
I was quite surprised again that some people, specifically the media, start talking about insulting the A-League, abusing people - it was never my intention.
Are there any players who have suggested coming back to the A-League, people like Scott Chipperfield? What would your advice be to them, and doesn't the A-League need big stars?
It's great for the A-League to have Jason. But I'm worried about the players as there are months where there's nothing to do. What are you going to do between March and June when the World Cup starts?
It's my job to tell the players that I'm worried about them. Of course, it's great for the A-League to have those players but personally, for me, it's one year too early.
What about Craig Moore? He's played in the A-League?
He's a centre defender, which makes a big difference. Also, he is not the same Craig Moore from three or four years ago. He is still a good player and very good for the team, but it's different for strikers and midfielders. They need to play more games to stay sharp.
What about the expansion of the A-League next season?
You have to expand, of course. You need to play more games, the more games you play, the longer the season is, the better it is for the players. If Jason's playing in the A-League, he'll probably play about 25-26 games in the season.
In Europe, it's 11 months' hard work, one month off and then we start again. That's a lot of training that A-League players miss out on. So expansion is very good.
What do you know about Sydney FC's new coach, Vitezslav Lavicka? Are Sydney right to go for an overseas coach?
His CV looks good. But I think everybody needs a fair chance. In six months, we will probably know if it was a good decision.
Do you think soccer can be number one in this country?
Firstly, we must qualify for the World Cup as that will be an enormous boost. I see the impact that rugby league and AFL have here. We shouldn't aim to be bigger than these sports, we just need to be accepted.
What about the Socceroos? It is a difficult job when you look at an A-League-based team playing the Asian Cup. Then you've got World Cup qualifiers with so many stars living overseas.
It's more difficult than I expected. We have had problems with players being injured and problems with players travelling.
But the boys are doing so well, they are so focused on going to the World Cup, they never complain. The FFA is doing everything for them, the best hotels, the best food, because they know they fly for 12 hours, 20 hours, 25 hours.
They have to do a job and go back to their clubs. I think the players appreciate the support they are getting.
You must be delighted with the way it's going. Four games, 10 points - it's a good start.
When you start a qualification you hope for away points and winning at home. We have played three away games and one home game, so I would probably be happy with six points at this stage.
Obviously I'm delighted that we have 10 points and are the top of the table. We still have three home games to come, so everything is in our own hands. But we are not there yet and we have to finish it off and as soon as possible.
The striking role's not been easy to fill with Mark Viduka not playing. Is he likely to come back?
I really hope so. Josh (Kennedy), Scott (Chipperfield) and Tim Cahill have all done a great job for us. But if Viduka shows me he is still the same player we know, there's no reason for us not to select him.
Are you concerned about injuries to Emerton and Kewell?
Harry is on the way back. He is desperate to be part of the Socceroos and go to the World Cup. Hopefully he will stay fit because he is a great player.
It's difficult to replace someone of his quality, but it does give other players the opportunity to show what they can do.
Are our next generation of players good enough to take us beyond the 2010 World Cup?
I think 75 per cent of the players will still go on after the World Cup. The younger ones who will replace those who do retire may not be starting games for Australia yet, but they are there and I think the quality is good. They will all improve in the coming years.
What about your future after the World Cup?
I am enjoying every minute of my time in Australia. But I love to be on the field every day with my team - that was one of the problems I had when I was with the national team in Korea. It was one of the reasons I left that job.
You have the players for two or three days and people expect you to create a team and to win games. I think it's more or less mission impossible, but it is a challenge and that's the way I see it.
I prefer to work with a club and after 2010 there's a chance I will go for a club, be on the field with the players every day. I have the feeling that I'm more in control.
Would you like to manage an A-League club?
Why not? If the facilities are good, if the ambition is good, and my opinion of the players is that every player here wants to learn.
I have not always been with big clubs in my career. My job is to make players better, create a great atmosphere and have the feeling that they respect your work and when they're training. It's good.
I think you've made a big problem for yourself, you'll have 10 offers from the A-League now!
Not at all. I think a few of the clubs are not happy with me at the moment.
I started coaching in 1987 and I know you can't plan anything. When I left Korea, I was 100 per cent certain I should take a club and I was just waiting for December to spend time with my family as I hadn't seen them for months and years. And then Australia came along and there were so many challenges around.
Let's just qualify and go to the World Cup next year and then we will see.

Got in late from work, rushed out without dinner and missed the first 10 minutes.Then watched 80 minutes of that crap.I wish I hadn't bothered.
Our tactics were so conservative we created f**k all.
Our most creative player sat on his arse on the bench for most of the game.
FFS we're supposed to be at home Lawrie!!

When you have a team devoid of the basic skills expected of 14yo's (pass,trap,move) you dont have much choice.
We looked unfit too - Fergie in?

Agree to a point but we have a player with basic skills and Lawrie chooses to leave him on the bench for 70 odd minutes.FFC Mariner said:
