Named in the Olyroos squad for training camp leading to Olympic qualifiers. Yemen is first up, outside a FIFA window.
Squad is all A-League based bar one from a German club, presume he would not have got a look in otherwise, and Europe based players will be picked later in the campaign.

Qantas Olyroos Head Coach Aurelio Vidmar and Qantas Young Socceroos Head Coach Jan Versleijen today announced a joint 31-player squad that will go into a training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra from the 11th to 16th April 2011.
The majority of this squad is drawn from the locally-based Hyundai A-League and National Youth League player ranks with two players from the Victorian Premier League and Hertha Berlin�s Ante Drazina as the only overseas based player in the squad.
This is the first of a series of training camps for Australian based players to prepare for the upcoming 2012 London Olympic Games Asian Qualifiers and FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011. The Qantas Olyroos will face Yemen in the second round of the 2012 London Olympic Games Asian Qualifiers on the 19th and 23rd June 2011 with the venues to be confirmed at a later date. The Qantas Young Socceroos will compete at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011 which commences on the 29th July with the final to be played on the 20th August.
Aurelio Vidmar is eager to work with this group of players now that the Qantas Olyroos opponent for their first stage in qualifiers is known.
�It�s great to get the players back together for the first time since September last year.
�This is the first of three vital camps for us to assess the status of all players and most importantly gauge their fitness levels since the conclusion of the Hyundai A-league season.
�We now know that we have a very challenging tie against Yemen in June and based on the information that we have gathered about our opposition we need to work on our own game plan accordingly.
Jan Versleijen is equally keen to get as much quality training time with his players with the start of the FIFA U-20 World Cup less than four months away.
Jan Versleijen is equally keen to get as much quality training time with his players with the start of the FIFA U-20 World Cup less than four months away.
�It�s important that we use all the possible time we have together positively to prepare for the upcoming tournament.
�The fact that the majority of players are out of season makes our task that little bit more difficult
�As per the competition regulations, we have to submit a preliminary list of 30 players in the next couple of months, so it�s up to the players to use this opportunity to prove that they should be in the final squad.
FFA Technical Director Han Berger believes that camps such as these are paramount to the success of our youth national teams.
�With the Hyundai A-League and National Youth League in recess, it is important that these players stay fit and sharp in the lead up to these very important competitions.
�We all also use this opportunity to have the players face each other competitively.
�In a similar vein to the recent camp we held in Europe, we have invited some players into this camp to identify talent and it will be up to the players to prove themselves against their peers.

Next season will either make or break Pav as a genuine Nix player. He has the enthusiasm, speed, just needs the run in the team otherwise he may end up another Kosta....and of course score heaps for another team.

Um its not the word(s) that matter, it's the lack of thought/reasoning behind it. If the post said, pav is a c**t, then i would have posted the exact same thing.

Pav is utter crap .BECAUSE... he has been ineffective in his little minutes hes had with the Phoenix. I've watched quite a few games when he has played for the Phoenix reserve and he muffed so many goal scoring opportunities.
He is never going to push in to the Phoenix 11, nor will he be a regular super sub. He is just that extra "fat" in the squad that could be used for someone with more potential.
That is my opinion...I hope that complies with forum rules.

Hang on.. PrettyRicki didn't start a thread called "Pav is crap", he just expressed his opinion of him. OK now you can ask him to elaborate why he thinks he's crap but I don't think it constitutes 'slagging him off'.
This to me, however, does:

Also, my opinion is informed. I indicated the problem I have with him, I backed it up by demonstrating the level of the problem by naming players of a similar ilk and in 'top 5' I gave it context.

2nnBest should look at himslef in teh mirror. Can he honestly stand up and say that he hasn't infringed "The forums are not a place for sl*gging players, fans, or officials off.". Honestly it is good to throw the books at tose who bring our game into disrepute.

I don't think we should ban second best, as I enjoy his lambasting one liners ( maybe one day we can have a whole sentence?)
I think ban is too harsh a word. Is there room for a suspension in the charter? Like a two match/ day ban?

So it would have been ok if he'd written " Pav is crap, as crap as player X. He's in my personal list of top 5 crappiest players in the A-league"?

In my defence though the players I mentioned have exposed complete cockness. I considered their exposed cockness as justification and not requiring re-assertion.

So when you put your vagina's back in your hand bags and are ready to get on with some football banter (including slagging off upcoming Aussie footballers affiliated with the Phoenix) give us a heads up.

I find the idea of a football supporters forum, where you aren't allowed to slag players off, quite bizarre, to be honest.
However, I don't make the rules....
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Slagging isn't banned.
The rules are defined as justifying the slagging is required. Mainly it was related to early times on here when the front page would have twenty posts after a match all just saying so and so is sh*t with no definition of why people thought it.
The idea is to encourage debate about a subject instead of mindless spamming.
