According to the FFA, (Football Federation Australia) It is untrue that Tiger Tim was drunk when escorted from a Sydney night club at 3:30am.
Tiger and his Socceroo mates had earlier that night sealed World Cup qualification and were having a quiet celebratory drink. The bar was closing, they were asked to leave which they did and that's all there was to it.

Load of crap. Oz Fa looked into it and found no substance to rumours.
I dont know what it?s called in the UK but here in Oz it's called a media beat-up. Like everywhere else in the world, newspapers are looking for every angle they can get for sales.
Imagine that, a person on holiday getting drunk... where will it ever end.
I personally still think the James Meattie story was better where he was arguing with a statue, now that?s a story.
He?s welcome to get pissed in my local bar any time. I?ll buy him the drinks if he wants.
These bloody pampered football players! Sitting in a bar celebrating WC qualification and THEN leaving quietly when the place shuts. They just live in a world of their own...
Thanks Dick, for putting the record straight, the shit written in our Sunday press put Tim among some of the other Premier low life with the after-drink problems.
Was Shandy Andy with him?
So what if he was??? I?ve been escorted from LOADS of places in my time. Fuck me ? he?s only human after all. Besides it?s bullshit anyway. Bring him to mine and I?ll get him pissed.......
How do you define drunk? of Oliver Reed proportions, or unsteady on the feet???
Anyway, Timothy is more than welcome to sample intoxicating beverages at his age, and I hope he enjoyed his night out. If I had just sealed World Cup participation for my country then I would be partial to a few late night beverages. Why not?
I think the reason it was such a big story is 'cos it involved an Aussie in a bar who wasn?t bladdered and then left quietly.
The media over here are looking to exaggerate anything to do with their sporting greats, why? Well because of the continuing rugby league and cricketers' indiscretions whilst drunk and sadly a disgraceful incident involving allegedly some high profile rugby team members involved in a tour gang bang of a New Zealand woman.
The media, being on the scent of blood, hype up all they can to sell papers or make the 6pm news. ( News???) What better way to sledge their own when there is nothing better to report than North Korea building nukes or a flu pandemic reaching epic proportions...? Typical gutter press.
No truth to these rumours however...
I heard a report of a flying dutchman fleeing the scene clutching a mop-top toupe.
The press are a joke, especially here in the UK. The paper I read it in went on to mention his brother getting done for GBH and Cahill getting into trouble for his handcuff gesture. That's got absolutely nothing to do with this "incident" so why do they have to bring it up??
I?ll ask him this Thursday at Rebel sport in Melbourne ;) ... When he signs my top (fingers crossed). :)
