Aiight first question (without having read the other article). Is there a bit inside you that regrets coming to the A-league so early? Do you still believe your the same player who captained a side in the European champions league or has your focus/skill level dropped?

Your inclusion in the Jets squad has quite obviously strengthened them to the point they are a serious contender for the ACL and the next A-league title, do you harbour ambitions to finish the job or given the recent controversy with Con are you looking to move on?
Ljubo Milicevic
28/05/2009 3:31:34 PM
Firstly...
Socceroo's and me?!!! Doubt it! And to be honest im over it!
I love Newcastle,I live on the beach,I get to focus on me and my career which is ideal after being out of the game for a while.

Secondly...
No regrets my friend,ive learnt alot about myself and I treat life as a journey,well I guess mine's a roller coaster but I wouldn't have it any other way! My focus is as good as it's ever been and so is my skill level....but if im to improve again, I dare say I will have to return to Europe!
Ljubo Milicevic
28/05/2009 3:34:53 PM
Perth will only ever be a holiday destination for me,the club is not the same as the one I left! Let's leave it at that.

I'd be happy to stay and kick some ass both in the ACL and HAL but...I still harbour ambitions of returning to Europe...Time will tell.... :)

28/05/2009 3:39:27 PM
Ljubo, in case you read this.. I think you should stay in the A-League for at least one season.. you're a great player and your out-spoken nature and high-expectations are just what the league needs. Just keep it positive! :D

llujbo your the akermanis of the a-league has a football show hit you up for a regular spot in the media and would you be interested?
Reason
28/05/2009 3:44:15 PM
1. How can you harbour ambitions of returning to Europe, presumably to play at a higher level, yet rule out a return to international football - the highest level?

2. You seem to take a lot personally - whether it be written on a forum, or in the media, or a passing comment by the national coach. Don't you think you'd be better suited to actually playing decent football than worrying about what people have to say about you?

3. Do you think it's incredibly unprofessional to widely (and strongly) criticise a club, and its owner, while you're still playing there?

4. Would you consider the captaincy of Newcastle if it was offered to you?

Hi Ljubo, please dont take offence to this because im not trying to be a smart ass, I was wondering if you were gay or bi? Just because you have made reference to this in recent interviews. Like I said no offence intended just wondering, I have a few friends who are.
davidtorres
28/05/2009 3:57:08 PM
Ljubo.
You are a great player and a great character and you are not afraid to speak your mind and I like that.
I just wanted to know, why did you leave your team in Europe and sign with the Melbourne Victory?
GloryPerth
28/05/2009 3:57:20 PM
This is just a statement: Please, don't give up hope of appearing for the Socceroos again. I know it's wise not to expect it and it would be a bonus if you were called up again, but don't give up. Especially now we're in Asia and the NT plays Asian Cup, aswell as World Cup Qualifiers. You still have a few good years left in you as a footballer, and if you keep up the way you've been playing, a call up will come, sooner or later.

Question 1) Judging by some of your previous interviews, you obviously enjoyed your time in the Swiss league. How does the A-League compare to this league? I know we have quite some way to go, but I mean the question more as, is the A-League at present that far off, standard wise, a league like that? Could your average A-League team compete well in that league?

Question 2) Would you be open to playing professional football in France? We have had soo few players play Ligue 1, but it's one of the best 5 leagues in Europe. And I presume from your time in Switzerland, you may speak a bit of French? But yes, wisdom dictates, one step at a time, ofcourse - just asking. ;)


And Perth will be back baby! Sage is taking Glory places and the Jets and other A-League clubs better watch out, this coming season. ;)

I was umming and arring about asking the same question.

Purely for the fact that there is so much speculation over this topic.

Either way i couldn't care less - all that matters to me is you're a good honest bloke and quite obviously a quality footballer.

I hope you get back to your peak, you're a champ.

1. Are you contemplating leaving Newcastle? Or would you rather stay?

2. Are you looking forward to the Melbourne A-League match?

3. Do you hate CCM as much as every other Newcastle fan?

4. Do you support an EPL club?

Much appreciated. Keep it real.
The Newcastle Jets thread and Newcastle Football.net would love to have you around more. ;)

Pim is a knob for not having you in the squad.
I like porn too, do you have any particular starlets you like to watch ?

Question:

How do you see the progress of young Ben Kantarovski at Newcastle.

His quality at only just 17 years of age is highly imprsesive in my opion, so calm and confident on the ball and already an established first team member.

Do you think he has what it takes to make it at a big club in europe?

thanks.
The Doctor
28/05/2009 4:02:00 PM
ljubo just one or two questions...

results or good football? after your comments about how Australia played aganist Uzbekistan, what's your philosphy to approach the game, an arsenal like approach where the emphis is upon playing stylish 'good' football or are you results driven, no matter how 'ugly' you play. What's priority?

Also what are your thoughts upon the other 9 A-League clubs in the coming season, anybody your wary of?, or anybody who you think will struggle in the 09/10 campaign?

Dear Lubejob,

The President of Iran also demands an answer to this question. We have certain stances towards such undesirables and we might just have to amend our stance towards you.

Your recent appearances are hinting that you are indeed one of these animals.

Please advise.

And not everybody cares whether your straight,bi,gay,a newt,a unich,have a fetish for space aliens or farm animals.it's irrelevant.Wake up dickheads.Personally,after my last girlfriend,I'm still deciding whether I can put myself through that bullshit again...

Ljubo thanks for your time, really appreciate you doing this for the league and your fans.

What are your thoughts about Viduka thinking about retiring and also the worries of him returning to the A-league and the way Aliosi has been treated because of his performances.
Was the public too hard on him (Aliosi) in your opinion??
I think the way that you have returned to the A-league and the way you've backed yourself and succeeded should be an example to anyone overseas thinking of coming back.

Good luck for the future and thanks once again for your time mate.

And would u consider sticking around for the next A-League, if it was followed by a stint in Asia? The end of our season fits in nicely with the start of the J-League.

I dont really have much to ask as you have already answered my question about returning to Perth. Just wanna say that you will always be remembered fondly here, and the door will always be open should you change your mind (if the fans had their way). cheers

Ljubo, After having the pleasure of playing along side you at the AIS in our younger years, i along with many of our other team mates know just how hard you worked to get to the heights reached in your career. My question is not directed to you its directed at Mr Verbeek, How can this pin up boy of Australian football not be in our national side? Unfortunately in this country its all about politics
Why Judge Ljubo on his personal qualities instead Judge him on his footballing Pedigree, a football pedigree that over the years has proven to be of a much higher quality than any defender we have currently selected in our national team. Mr Verbeek should be ashamed!!! its people like him who ruin our next generation of footballers because of there own personal agendas. Ljubo Keep it real buddy and play the game you enjoy and love and speak your mind all you want because they cant ignore you!!!!!!

Will you ever comeback to Canberra so we can catch up and have a laugh about all the B*llsh^%t?

Ciao

What needs to be done to raise the standards of training by A League clubs to match the "intensity" that people such as Jade North say the A League lacks in comparison to overseas clubs?

Is the first step not to mimic the training schedule of a big overseas club?

Ljubo, I'm glad you have an up front style, which is what the jets really need to get the wind up them. Thanks for that. I'm just hoping you stick around. I know that isn't a question, but just thanks for all you've done for our tewam in the ACL and I sure hope you can do the same in the A-League.

Ljubo,

Respect for the way you approach everything mate. Nice to see someone in the public arena who doesn't sugar coat things.

My question for you is this - if Victory cannot agree terms with Muscat, would him leaving be enough to get you back in navy blue, or would a few more things have to change?
pimpsta
28/05/2009 5:03:14 PM
ljubo glad there is a player out there not afraid to tell people how it is,
Just on that subject is there anything you've said then thought about it and gone 'fk i shouldnt of said that'?

Once again mate wish there was more players like you,

28/05/2009 5:03:44 PM
Llubo,
Congrats on the Jets progressing through the ACL. I must say as a Jets fan, I wasn't too confident. But you proved a lot of people wrong.
I think your combo with NTS at the back has really improved his play also. You guys both seem to complement each other nicely.
It would be great to see you around Newy for a while longer, and especially when we play the Victory! :)
cab711
28/05/2009 5:19:20 PM
Dear Ljubo.

Dont leave the HAL. You are an entertaining and talented footballer with a big figure and a big mouth to boot. I am a SFC fan but I also go for the jets cause I love what dutchy does with the team. I became a fan when you stripped down after the win in the ACL, what were u thinking?
Anyhow, I will write to Meneer Verbeek to have you selected in the Socceroos, considering his defensive minded play you should have no troubles. Keep up the good work.

Who do you like better, Victory or Jets?
Cheers
28/05/2009 5:20:51 PM
Ljubo, your a breathe of fresh air to the A-league and should be a regular in the Socceroos.

Sometimes you just have to stick it up the powers that be, or management for that matter. A bit of power generally isn't handled to well by humans.

It would seem to me in Australia and not just in football, that if your slightly opinionated then your un-australian or some sort of deviot. \

I think in the end you'll mainly be remembered for the football and skill you bring to the game and if you go back to Europe then I'm glad I got to watch you in the ACL show your stuff. If you stayed for a longer I believe you could help Newcastle get into the finals, without you they will struggle.
Cool_Cat2007
28/05/2009 5:25:33 PM
Ljubo, what's it like playing alongside one of the worst defenders in the history of the A-league in Topor-Stanley? hopefully you are giving him some tips.

Also, are you getting your super payments?

Firstly Im not gay although I love going to gay clubs and having a laugh with my mates whilst hearing some good tunes. Dont know why someones sexuality is important anyway...best to just live and let live...

No euro visa,would love to play in Italy,France,Spain and of course CROATIA!

I love Caramello Koala's!!!!

I used to follow Melbourne Croatia! Now I don't follow anyone...

Henry was great but the best players ive played against would have to be Riquelme and Ribery!

Clubs in China are keen but I would rather not go there...

Also, Kudos for giving it to Pim about the Socceroos boring style of play.

Ljubo Milicevic
28/05/2009 6:13:49 PM
Kanta is a good player but he has still got a long way to go in my opinion.

Always play good football and the results will come.

Don't care about the other 9 teams in the A league, I back us to win it! :)

Hmmm porn?!!! ahhh...No favourite's but in Switzerland Gina Wild was a hit hehe

Couldnt care less if some people out there think its unprofessional of me to simply state the thruth and have an opinion...If people take it the wrong way well then..does that mean I was right????

Tou cant compare Australia to Europe,it will never be the same,just accept it for what it is...You need to get more foreign coaches and I dont mean SCOTTISH!

SBS have been great and we are both keen to keep working with one another...when a soccer show similar to the afl footy show becomes a reality, I would love to be involved!!!Least I'll KEEP IT REAL!

AND FUKN OATH I CANT WAIT TO PLAY VICTORY! :)

Hey Ljubo
great to have a character like you in the a-league
couple of questions
who has had the greatest influence on your career?
and how far do you reckon ben kantarovski can and will go?
Asprilla
28/05/2009 6:32:23 PM
hey ljubo,
Just a thought..........
Are you the best defender in the a-league at the moment? yes
I mean you have only played a handfull of games in the last year or more and already you are starting to shine what you gotta do is prove them wrong keep your head down and work hard cause sooner or later verbeek is going to have to look at you because this A-league soccerroos that played against kuwait was a joke. How can he give caps to players that will never put on the shirt again (e.g vargas melbourne victory) If Verbeek does not like A-league players because they do not have the right experience, then he should be smart enough to pick the ones that actually played in europe
and had the balls to come back and help the A-league grow.
You might have to do a milligan and go to asia.
You have a big mouth and thats why we all like you ....
Asprilla had a big mouth also ...................

not a bad 11 but you forgot our most important player and best bloke MARK VIDUKA! Simply the best footballer to ever come out of this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would never play for Victory, you would pretty much have to get rid of the whole club before I went back there :) no offense guys,just KEEPING IT REAL!

I have no regrets in life...

Gary is a good coach who focuses on ball work which has been awesome,other coaches should do the same if they are not already!

yes yes i could not agree with you more, i am also beside myself at why we have scottish coaches. its more painful watching the scottish premier league than it is watching afl.

TO LJUBO: would you consider becoming a coach after your playing days? i could imagine you would have the post match entertainment factor of bleiberg, kosmina and farina put together, australia's equivalent of jose mourinho. ooooooh and i went to st james college as well, small small world

Hey Ljubo
I am a Jets supporter and I love what youve been doing on the pitch and off. Its good that you are speaking your mind and standing up for what is right, plus i totally agree with the whole flight to Japan stopover thing. That was crap on managements part and I hope we wont see any future mistakes like that.

A few questions:
1) Who would you prefer as the Jets marquee, Fabio or Joel? Or yourself?
2) How much longer do you see yourself sticken around at the Jets? With you and Fabio there next season we could be genuine title contenders.
Thanks

HAJDUK ZIVI VJECENO! DALAMTINAC SAM :)

Not important who is marquee, it would be great to have all 3 of us playing in the same team!

Puzz is a good player and so is Kanta... but anyone wishing to go to Europe has to be training twice a day and ripping this league apart! I dont know many boys who do that....

I love living in Newy...Football is my life...Love Machine will always be fun but thats not my focus and clubs night clubs in general never were.

Do you believe Australian players in the A-League are creating their own brand of football and if so what type of brand is it and what are the pro's and cons of it?

James Holland is doing well,he loves it over there and Im sure he will be kicking ass in the near future! Ruka is good player too, I hope the boys do well!

I dont believe the team needs to train together twice a day but if boys want to improve they have to do extra individual sessions!

Hey Ljubo, big fan of yours since we signed you and i reckon you've been the big catalyst the club needed.

2 questions mate,

First, is there any chance of you prolonging your stay with the Jets until the first A-League game at home against Melbourne Victory? I would love to see you and Mus**** go up against each other :)

Secondly, what are your thoughts on Donny de Groot, he seems a good player?

Thanks mate

Not any questions as such Ljubo, but you are a legend for picking Newy out of any team and any city you could've chosen. :) I think its great you're here, its about time someone spoke up every now and then about what they really think and standing up for what's right. A character such as yourself was missing in the last a-league season for us, no enforcers to give the team any direction at all. Please stay for the next a-league season!!!

By the way, I got to try on one of the shin pads you threw into the crowd after the Beijing game. :p

Actually, two questions. Number 1. How's the injury coming along that you appeared to pick up during the game against Ulsan? Apologies if its already been asked in a previous post.

Number 2: How's Song's injury coming along? We'd love to see him back playing again.


Good Luck against Pohang, I'm very confident it can be done. We want to see more ACL in Newcastle!
Ljubo Milicevic
28/05/2009 7:44:55 PM
Doubt Id be a good politician...I speak the truth and from the heart!!!! :)

I follow the saints in the AFL because I grew up in the area other than that I dont watch sport much...Of course I back THE NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS as well!

I love being in the midfield but the team comes first and I think Im more useful at the back!

Living in Newcastle is great and so is the stadium,cant wait for it to be finished!

Im contracted for next season so unless someone buys me, BrRRRIIIIINNNGGGGG ON THE VICTORY! :) hehe going to be such a laugh....Cant hide when we are all on the pitch in front of the crowd and camers's...let's see who KEEPS IT REAL THEN?!!! hehe

Hello Ljubo

Is it true you got sacked from the victory for doing illicit drugs the night before a game?

The media friendly story was of course the brekkie skip. That in itself is pretty darn bad.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I hope you at least had an up'n'go!

Hey Ljubo.

Mass cred for doing something like this. . I'll be honest and haven't always agreed with some stuff you say . . . but . . plenty don't agree with me either . . . that's life . .

Q1:I know you've got plenty of football left in you . . but media after it's all done? Do you think that far ahead? I reckon you'd enjoy shakin opinion up for SBS or the like.

2: What's one thing the AL really lacks to take it that little further . . . I reckon 1st class managers? But would be interested to know what an actual A-League player, who's been in Euro thinks?

Cheers for having something to do with oz football forums like this . . . very cool . . .

^tsk nice of you to join us 'Mr Muffay.' :roll: :P

Q: How do you rate Kaz Patafta, where might he need to improve to get further in the game? I only ask this in the context of, he's spent some time in the A-League now, but he's struggled for regular football. That can be natural, especially being a young player. But he's always been well rated, so one wonders what the guy needs to improve on, in order to see regular first team in the A-League and beyond?

Hey Ljubo - great to have someone outspoken in the A-league

How do you rate the Socceroos chances in SA 2010 ? (Hope you're one of them) Do you think we can match the heights of 2006 or is that expecting too much ?

What would be your advice to younger A-League players like Matt Simon - should they go overseas early on to take advantage of offers or spend a few years in the A-League to avoid early burn out ?

Hope you beat Pohang (no, really :)
Give our love to Sash - we miss him.

Hey Ljubo, big fan of yours when you played for Perth. Just wondering if you are even slightly open to the possibility of returning to the Glory if they showed interest? Or is there not enough happening in the west to make you want to head back out this way?

Hey Ljubo sources from the west state that glory are in the process of getting together a big package for yoy to come back to perth as our Marquee player!

cheers ljubes :)
a straight-shooter as always ... would love to see more of this on here from players etc, if 442 can sneak it past some nervous media liasons... hell, they could even filter the (players) posts. Its better than nothin... The game needs more opinions !
