Harry Kewell v Robbie Slater

[Damian]

Just wanted to get some opinions regarding a newspaper article written by Robbie Slater. He wrote that a teammate told Kewell to f-off at the world cup in South Africa. You should check out the interview on fox sports on youtube, good stuff...

Robbie Slater was a great player and entitled to his opinion, but i reckon he comes out looking like a tool on this one

This is the video in question...

Robbie Slater been copping alot of flak over this by plenty of people. He come off looking like an idiot writing a stupid article like he did, but Harry Kewell went way over top with his reply too, just sounded sooky.

Who knows what source that Slater was using, maybe it happened or maybe it didn’t, but Slater sounds pretty confident it happened. The thing is Slater has a habit of slagging off people through the media and has been doing it for ages, but now it has come back to bite him this time round.

Dont know why the article was written in the first place, was always going to open a can of worms. Harry needs to calm down a bit though, there have been worse articles than this written.

that's a good listen. I've actually no idea what the story was, what did Slater write?

[jeffers]

Also, Kewell comes across as a bit of a cock I think. "I've never demanded to be picked for Australia"...that wasn't the question mate...

that's a good listen. I've actually no idea what the story was, what did Slater write?

Slater basically came out and wrote that one of Kewell's teammates at the South Africa World Cup told him to f**k off and that he wasnt wanted at Australia anymore,and that there was disharmony in the team throughout the tournament.

No one knows who that player was, Kewell is denying it ever happened and apparently all the plaeyrs for the Socceroos are denying it, but Slater sounds pretty confident it happened.

So Slater wrote an article about it in the Sunday Telegraph (or one of those big papers) and it didnt go down too well with Kewell

Dunno why this is such a big story, both guys annoy the hell out of me. Kewell is past it in my opinion is has always been injury proned. He came out of this interview sounding like a brat.

Slater is a know it all who writes or says this sort of stuff without thinking about the consequences. Was a good watch though, i enjoyed seeing them go head to head.

Ill never get sick of Harry Kewell, the greatest exponent of soccer Australia has produced. I don't know what slater was thinking when he put pen to paper. There is probably more to it than meets the eye. I reckon Kewell had a right to rant as much as he did and i liked that slater i.e. journalist/media, was finally held accountable for shit that they write in a newspaper
