That was terrible from Adelaide United. The wheels have well and truly fallen off.

Choke like Linda Lovelace
Fark, did anyone see the press conference with Vidmar after the game?
Most sensational I've seen in the four seasons of the A-League, especially given Viddie's standing in the competition (Coach of the Year, etc.). Trying to find video now.
http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25056295-23210,00.html is a story about it.

Adelaide United 'will never win anything', coach Aurelio Vidmar says
By Guy Hand
February 14, 2009
ADELAIDE United coach Aurelio Vidmar has launched an astonishing attack on all segments of the club after the Reds' 4-0 defeat by Melbourne in the second leg of the A-League major semi-final at Telstra Dome on Saturday night.
Vidmar appeared close to breaking point as he said the players were beaten before they took to the field.
He refused to name anyone specifically, but he fingered players, officials and media as he vented his spleen on "everyone involved with the club" and the politics he blamed for tearing the Reds down.
"It was an absolute disgrace,'' Vidmar said of the defeat.
"We owe the world an apology.
"Politics is what I put it down to. There's too many people at this club with hidden agendas.
"That 4-0 result tonight was politics, nothing else. This club will never win anything until you get rid of that crap.
"This was a very happy place until a few weeks ago."
Vidmar's outburst marks a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for the A-League coach of the year, so awarded after guiding the Reds to the Asian Champions League final and second place in the A-League.
Now Vidmar is demanding crisis talks on Monday to sort out Adelaide's troubles as the Reds try to regroup ahead of the preliminary final against Queensland Roar at Hindmarsh Stadium on Saturday.
"There needs to be a massive heart-to-heart Monday morning," Vidmar said.
"You've either got balls or you don't have balls. We'll see who has and who hasn't.
"We actually want people out there who are going to play football and not worry about anything else.
"We need people around the club who are thinking of the right things. Football, nothing else."
The club has suffered several on- and off-field changes of late, including announcing the departures of a number of key players at the end of the season.
Defender Angelo Costanzo will join Newcastle Jets next season, while midfielders Diego and Jonas Salley have been released, marquee striker Paul Agostino and defender Mike Valkanis are retiring, and defender Sasa Ognenovski will join South Korean side Seongnam Ilhwa.
The Reds' miserable night was compounded further by the late sending-off of Brazilian midfielder Cassio for a second yellow card offence.
Cassio is also likely to face the wrath of the match review panel for making a rude arm gesture to Victory fans as he left the field.

I think Kossie turned into an even bigger nutter in Sydney with his delusional rants.
Plus, you don't need to be a tactical genius to succeed in Cup football, which is what the ACL- like the FA Cup, CL and UEFA Cup- is.
