[q-money]

we will loose

[Superdylan]

Actually really confident we can get up in this game. 2 very important home fixtures in a row to hopefully get us in the 6.

Jets will be absolutely fired up for this game after blowing the lead on Sunday night. We have also had a good record against the victory here in recent seasons and haven't been beaten against them here since season 5.

I'm actually thinking a 3-0 win to the jets (Tagz double and a Joel griffo goal) remembering we had our largest ever win the last home game we played. Bring it on!

[MFKS]

Like **** we will Q MAN

We are the Newcastle Jets who shit on our fans regularly with misfortune.

No way in the world will our finals fate be sealed in piss weak fashion like a loss at home 2 rounds out from the play offs. No we will win to fill us full of false hope and only to have those dreams shattered in an inept performance in the final round when it matters.

We are not fortunate enough to go quietly into the night capitulating the easy way with the least amount of suffering for the supporters. We do it the hardest way.
Add in the fact the FFA will probably be keen on seeing the top 6 battle go to the wire with Sydney winning of course you can expect some dodgy reffing to get us over the line if need be

GET ON US FOR THESE REASONS AS WE ARE SPECIALS THIS WEEKEND

[lquiquer]

win & win......FC win & win.... and we don't break the tradition. RM out.

[seldom]

jets 2...archie 1

[steve136]

Lose 1-3.
Taggart will score one but miss 10 one-on-one chances. Kennedy won't try and save any of their 3 goals.
It's great being a Jets supporter.

Need you to come back and play RB, Eags. Allow Brillante to come back centrally. ;)

[GazFish35]

Im tipping a 15-0 loss.

BK to take the field and sit on the penalty spot on a bunnings chair for ninety minutes.

[hawk]

Gary Van Egmond – 16 matches (10 wins, 2 drawn and 4 losses = 62.5% win ratio)

quite commendable

Wouldn't it be amazing?
Eags is too busy fighting fires and saving defenseless kids/animals..
The bloke is bigger than the game. (But smaller in height than most things, hahaha)

[Jeterpool]

quite commendable

It's a pretty good record. However, broken down to Gary v1 to Gary v2

Gary v1 - 6-1-1, including a record of two wins against the season 2 dominating victory team

Gary v2 - 4-1-3. Not quite as good! However, that's still better than the others.

No excuses. Melb were in Japan last night… we ****ed up the first time they were depleted, surely not twice :/

Agree with your reasoning about the Jets. It is like them to string out the pain as much as possible.

Disagree with your reasoning re the FFA. The FFA want Sydney FC in the finals to maximise ticketing revenue in the finals, with a possible juicy final between WSW and Sydney FC if they can swing it. They won't care one bit what happens with regular season crowds as they don't get any of that money.

So for that reason, I am predicting that the FFA will kill it off early with some dodgy refereeing. Most probably through a send-off in the first 20 minutes of either Griffo, Zadkovich or Jaliens. They simply can't risk it against a depleted Melbourne Victory.

[pv4]

Strebre

I have always been a huge Strebre fan but have thought he's been rubbish this season, particularly when watching him ref the Jets. We won't get anything good out of him - he's no Ben Williams, but he's no good either.

Bon told me his favourite moment in football was Eags supplying his team he was coaching with old Mariners training jerseys. What a gypo

Jets win

[Buddha]

Heskey playing DM, hnnnnnnnnnnnnngh

[Grimario]

If we don't win this, it's exactly what we deserve going all out and employing a professional coach impersonator like Clayton Zane.

[steve136]

Blaming Zane? Weak.
How about Shitchell for his continually useless defending? Or Zadkovich for his amateur touches (also saw him pushing a teammate after the final whistle...great Captain Zad is....)? Or our attack for failing to score when we were dominating them in the 2nd half?

[Grimario]

How about Zane for telling them to play for a ****ing 2-1 win with 25 minutes to go?
How about Zane not ****ing seeing us dominating in midfield and instead of turning it up and making it 3-1, taking off all of our useful attacking threats and replacing it with one trick Virgili and the guy only behind Gallaway in terms of useless ****s who somehow get to be professional footballers?

Zane is a ****ing hack, he can **** off back to being shit with the W-league or NYL side, useless ****.

[hawk]

glad i didnt see this continued heartless sh1t of letting a lead slip. we have to be on the take. well done crusty united

[Thomas477]

Pretty much this tbh.

Also Strebe is a **** of a referee **** me, Broxham runs 30m to push Zad and doesn't get a second yellow? **** me. Also how the **** Traore didn't get a yellow is beyond me.

Finally, love the Zad. Giving it to Nabbout for diving and then walking off the pitch. Love you Zads :wub:

[Thomas477]

Also, **** me Mitchell. What a ****ing stupid penalty to give away. **** me.

Not going on Friday, going to watch a team with some ****ing heart and who play with some ticker, the o/35s.

Also Steve, who the **** picks Mitchell each week? ZANE!!!!!!!!!

[The Dunster]

Melbourne scored from a set piece and a penalty. Other than that that did sweet fook all.
And yet, people are saying Mitchell was shit ? Unbelievable. The damage was done well before the penalty was given - had he not done anything the goal would have come from open play anyway.

Thompson, Troisi, Finkler, Milligan, Leijer, Rogic - pretty shit tonight and yet people here want to bag out our lads for having a draw against a team higher on the table.

However, any coach that replaces their three most experienced players with part time A-league players doesn't deserve a contract.

Zane learned absolutely nothing from last week - he simply went from one extreme to the other.

I feel sorry for the players, because I thought they put in a big effort tonight.

[380]

Nothing for Zads to be pissed about except on himself after tonight. That free kick he gave away directly resulted in Victory being able to get the ball down the other end for the park for the pen. The Victory player was going knowhere yet Zads had one of his needless brain explosions.

[Hunter403]

What kind of fool takes off his two most dominant players when they are neither exhausted or injured and replaces them with players of far inferior ability? Carney owned that right side of Victory's defence and Heskey was immense. Mitchell was weak as was Galloway but apart from them the boys put in a good performance.

Victory offerred very little tonight and we couldn't put them away. We got what we deseverved aided and abetted by poor replacement policy.

BK really is weak with his ground clearances and his long bombs are often kicked with him outside the box. That will bite us one day. Overall, he was little troubled tonight apart from picking the ball out of the net. Wouldn't be surprised to find Birra back next week.

Rogis is a soft co*k that goes down way too easily for such a big unit.

The ground is a disgrace.

[lquiquer]

The puddle looks to be a late starter for tomorrow night

Jets win

Even the sky is against us

[pistolpete]

All BKs fault. Didn't even dive

[pistolpete]

Also bridges was invisible all night

[sammydog]

What kind of fool takes off his two most dominant players when they are neither exhausted or injured and replaces them with players of far inferior ability? Carney owned that right side of Victory's defence and Heskey was immense.

While I think taking Heskey off was a massive mistake. Carney did have his hand up asking to be taken off. Judging by the scramble on the bench, the Carney substitution wasn't planned.

Was Griffiths injured? I didn't pick up on it, but a few around me commented that his substation looked to be due to injury.

On face value I think the subs were naive tactically, but Carneys was definitely a forced sub. It was plainly obvious when the experience was taken off.

[front2]

Shit happens when you have taken off 3 out of 4 of your clearly, most experienced players. And expect to hang on to a 2-1 lead with ten to go.
Archie was seeing turkey schmitchel dinner when josh pissed his panties and ended up floundering and flubbering around on the pitch.
Inzane in the membrane!!

Then Clacka OUT

[MFKS]

Griffo looked like he was holding a back injury of some sort. Bloke looked ****ed about 5 mins before he went off.

As for the reffing couldn't give a **** about the penalty as it was cast iron but have some serious concerns about the standard of reffing.

Firstly how did Traore stay on the park for a studs up waist high lunge in an aggressive manner at the Griff??

Secondly how did the bloke Heskey got booked for hacking not get sent for lashing out on the ground and kicking him?? Hello David Beckham for one

Thirdly after we took a throw in the second half and Zads caught them unawares and was intentionally dragged down when through and about to race into the box and we got a FK can someone explain how that is not a yellow?? It was cynical and a moral


As for us not winning lets just blame our shit **** coaching team who chose to sit back the entire second half and allowed the field to be stretched whilst we halfheartedly chased the ball. As a result we allowed a team who should be tiring after midweek visit to Japan to not have to run chasing the ball. If you are gonna sit in condense the field and then race through on the ****er. We left massive space and then never ran forward

2-1 up at HT and we should have won that by 3-4 goals and ****ed it up
ZANEOUT

[MFKS]

As for those blokes who reckon we should re sign Mitchell to a new contract. :whistling:

You have to be ****ing joking

Carney asked to come off bud, he signalled for a good couple of minutes saying he was spent

Mitchell OUT and don't forget Gallaway OUT........And of course Clacka OUT

[front2]

Griffo looked like he was holding a back injury of some sort.
ZANEOUT

My binoculars say that Griff did receive treatment as soon as he come off. Ice pack to the side. Rib area my guess.

Traore studs up on Griff were in the side/ribs area btw. Then again Griff had been carrying a rib injury or something previous.

Inzane in the membrane second half kerfuffle overall.

His ribs were tapped up when he took his jersey off.

[WolfMan]

As for those blokes who reckon we should re sign Mitchell to a new contract. :whistling:

You have to be ****ing joking

Not actually joking hey.

He was attempting an unorthodox clearance as he had been bundled over by Thompson (not a foul, just incidental contact). Sure as shite if Mitchell had "played it safe" and not swung a boot at the ball as he did, you and everyone else would be saying he should have done something.

Can't win with some people on here.

How about all the other times he did things right?

How about Kew letting Milligan get away from him on that corner they equalised from? Nobody is bagging him out (nor should they, as on balance of play Kew was pretty good as usual)

[Thomas477]

What was the bench again?

Virgilli, Oxborrow, Goodwin and Ward?

We need to find a nice balance of youth and experience. Having Griff, Carney AND heskey off at the same time wasn't good. Maybe we could have used Bridges coming on to replace Heskey just for his experience?

[The Dunster]

Bk's distribution tonight as always was superior to anything Birra has managed throughout his career.

Birra struggles to keep the ball in bounds let alone finding Heskey's head.

BK should be in goals next week. He wasn't responsible for either of the goals and overall put in a solid effort.

No you will not win with other peoples opinions regarding tonights match. You can call it unorthodox from schmitchells clearance attempt. It was a clear cut penalty. Archie enjoyed his takeaway.

The bench was good enough. Just manage it.

Didn't watch the games but I assume we continue to have the aids

y /n?

Ceebs reading this thread

[seldom]

Mlb got lucky...we dominated all over the park imo...not sure what Zane did wrong tbh...wish jerks snuck into 6 we could have given it a real shake.

p.s. Deans out!

[MFKS]

Should have won comfortably q man

Reality not good enough

[joel31]

It's was stupidity from Mitchell we had a chance of saving them but gave them a goal.
We played well and dominated by Zane killed us by replacing players who could have killed the game
I also think Taggart and Oxborrow should have taken those chances in the second half.
If he was going to replace Carney seeing as we were dominating the midfield wouldn't Goodwin be the change.

[Tommyjet]

Should of had at least 4 goals in first half, plain and simple

[joel31]

Also where was the bloke on the near post and the marking from Kew for their first goal. Another simple error

[stopper2]

Bridges was obviously saving himself for next week, so in the last game of the season he can do a lap of honour and take in his "supporters" love.
Shows what he is about in that in a crunch game like this and he wasn't even named on the bench for his "experience" as you would put it!

[WolfMan]

No you will not win with other peoples opinions regarding tonights match. You can call it unorthodox from schmitchells clearance attempt. It was a clear cut penalty. Archie enjoyed his takeaway.

I'm not trying to win people's opinions, just pointing out the hysterical hypocrisy. It probably was a penalty, but if he'd done nothing and laid there, I'm assuming the same people would be whinging about that too.

Choked on our own cawks.
Melbourne played like shit, couldn't pass the ball, we scored 2 goals and dominated but still couldn't win.

We just don't have a winning mentality hey.

[Grimario]

We just don't have a winning mentality hey.

That's why I moved to Adelaide. If I have to live in a pissant town, it might as well have a Haigh's factory.

[ForeverRed]

What about our captain leaving the pitch without shaking hands witn anyone, should have his arse whipped for that.

[GazFish35]

What about our captain leaving the pitch without shaking hands witn anyone, should have his arse whipped for that.

He came back out.

I think it was more a case of him needing to get off the pitch and punch a few walls before returning so he didn't punch on with the ref.

Came back with thongs....haven't seen that bfore!! lol.....

[GazFish35]

Maybe there's tinea in the showers and he wanted to get in first.



He had just blown up at the victory player who went down like a sack of shit in injury time, and Adrian ljejer (spelling) looked like he was ready to blow up after fulltime.
