[GazFish35]

Anyone know the longest period we ever went without a win? Surely we are due on Saturday.

D'Apuzzo cracked the 100, didn't he?

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

****ing disgraceful.

So you mean to tell me we are unable to get free kicks and fair treatment from the officials

Maybe our lack of fitness, possession and defensive structure impact upon the number of cards we get?

[Thomas477]

Burns to score a hattrick. Jest to loose.

[Premy]

Jobe. Rubez. Someone else I can't recall.

D'Apuzzo 102
Haliti 92
BK 91
Kanta 91

Griffo 72 A-League, 117 if you include the 45 Newcastle United caps. 17 caps short of Tarek.

[Premy]

Andy Roberts
Breakers-88
United-68
Total- 156

Griffo 39 short of Andy.
Thats as far back my knowledge goes has anyone else represented a Newcastle National side more than Andy?

I've got BK on 93. Hmmmmm

[Premy]

I've got BK on 93. Hmmmmm

My source is Wikipedia so It's probably wrong. He has 2 Australian youth caps, could that be where you are getting 93 from.

[Premy]

Nope you're right it hasn't been updated in over a month so with the last 2 games you would be right. As if o ever doubted you pfft.

[Jeterpool]

Anyone know the longest period we ever went without a win? Surely we are due on Saturday.

Herald said from S1 R20 - S2 R7 is our longest period winless. That's 11 games

[leftrightout]

Make sure everyone makes Burns their captain in fantasy league this week!

[Thomas477]

And get rid of BK or any of our defenders, won't be pretty.

[The Dunster]

Everyone should take a white towel to the game to through onto the pitch once they feel the Jets players have conceded enough goals.

It's going to get ugly score wise.

[Superdylan]

Herald said from S1 R20 - S2 R7 is our longest period winless. That's 11 games

Shit I remember that now

We lost 5-0 to Brisbane, 3-1 to Perth the 2 home games before the finals. Followed by a 1 nil loss to mariners then a 1-1 draw losing on aggregate. Then the 7 game winless streak to start off season 2.

Funny enough we broke the streak with a 3-0 win at home to the new zealand knights.

I hope the players are aware of this streak.

[Thomas477]

We also changed the coach before the Knights game.....

[Premy]

All doom and gloom over here then, just another day on the foz good to see.

I'm going against the grain. Burns unit to get a late consolation after Flores is on the double and Billy the kid to open his account for us.

[joel31]

We will win if it pours like predicted due to the return of our best player

Good news is that Mitchy Cooper looks like he may get a run.

After 2 Knee Reconstructions good on the kid for getting back to HAL.

Good to see Mitch cooper back in the frame. I hope he doesn't get the same treatment as some other promising youngsters returning from injury have in the past from the jets 'faithful'.

[joel31]

griff on his day would have had a hat-trick

[Ranger-86]

Must of been unsure if wellington had a man at the back stick and threw a mit out.

On a better note hoole is playing sooooooooo well really enjoy watching him atm

[joel31]

carney and hoole are playing well

[joel31]

what a hit

[Ranger-86]

We would go allright at the crossbar challenge

[joel31]

jaliens keeps keeping McGlinchey onside

[belchardo]

Who are these guys and why are they playing for the jets?

Kew needs to step up faster.

[plague]

I don't know how much longer I can live in a world where Ned Zelic makes noise with his mouth for a living.

[plague]

Gallagher is extremely timid in his tackles.
Unlike Griff and Peppz.

[joel31]

what a risk from neville

[joel31]

they just have to wait til the last 20

[joel31]

Phil the game isn't 70 minutes long

[joel31]

I reckon he was narrowly offside

[weston]

My Jets are back. God I missed them for the first hour.

[Grimario]

I reckon he was narrowly offside

He was but we'll lose by four so it doesn't matter.

Did you find the answer to your question mate?

Heyyyyyyyy.
Look at this guy.

[belchardo]

can't even be bothered being angry.

grim had the right idea moving to adelaide.

[hawk]

Hoole goes off sky falls. Great move Stubbins, you're sacked

[Jeterpool]

I will always support this team. I'll alwyas show up to matches and I won't boo them.

But they make it ****ing hard some times.

We don't press. We defend so deep creating a massive gap in the midfield. We need a left back dearly. We lack pace. The ball moves too slowly. The crowd are on the players back, and rightly so.

The only thing we've won all season is the yellow card count - and we even lost that today!

Stubbins will not be sacked while ever Tinkler is in charge. A new owner cannot come soon enough.

The players look despondent. This is the second worst run in our a-league history.

[baldrick]

can't even be bothered being angry..


This.

[Hunter403]

I could write a novel on their failings today.We played right into Wellington hands in that second half. We can't pass to our own players, we are weak in the tackle and we have an appalling first touch.

MIDDLEBY should do the honorable thing and resign tonight. STUBBINS should follow him in the morning.

You DO NOT concede 3 goals in 10 minutes at home!

I am right fu@king picked off with this shower of site.

[belchardo]

You DO NOT concede 3 goals in 10 minutes at home!.

You are correct: it only takes 5 minutes to concede 3 goals.

[Buddha]

To the people who said "you go out and do better, it can't be that hard when only 3 players give a shit about the club. There is nothing to be proud of about this club, we are so bad that 9k is really generous for a crowd. I'm not one to usually bag the coach and players but I had enough today and did a sneesby. Thanks to body and others in backing me up while I vented. Enough is enough, give us back our club

[NewcastleForLife]

This is the second worst run in our a-league history.

We're playing Perth away then Adelaide and Victory. This will be our longest winless streak.

[Ranger-86]

I will offer a glimmer of hope. After our worst ever run we came a bees d"ck away from the gf. What happened that time......New coach

[MFKS]

Ta.

$100 @ $2.60 Means a great night at Kittens later this month.
Thanks Jets.
Thanks Stubbins.
Thanks Middleby :woo:

Move quicker than the witches hats currently there

Move quicker than the witches hats currently there

Can't argue with you there.

Could someone please give Neville a call and explain the concept of closing a man down quickly?

[Jeterpool]

On the plus. Pepper, ran his ass off today. Need his legs in our mids. Kanta played alright too I thought

[Couscous]

Missed the game. Just saw the result. Smh, Jets. Smh.

[belchardo]

Hoole was good. Carney played his best match so far imo.

[Jetmaster]

Just when Jetmaster was hopeful.

She cynically patted me on the head and said "never mind, one day your dreams will come true".......smarmy bitch.

[BodyNovo]

Time for change

****ing sick of it

Won't return till so

[Tommyjet]

On the plus. Pepper, ran his ass off today. Need his legs in our mids. Kanta played alright too I thought

Kanta and pepper were the positives for me. Hoole tried hard but had some honking touches. The back four were arguing all evening and I think Neville and madaschi were right to get up kew for wandering all over the pitch and leaving us exposed. Am I right that kew played burns onside for the first? I think I remember on the replay seeing the rest of the back four step up and kew lag.

Anyway I'm sick of hating on Stubbs and some of the players. Me and mrs ( and many around us actually) applauded the teams efforts at full time. The club and the players don't need boos anymore. Encouragement is needed and that's all ill provide from now on

[sammydog]

Hoole was good. Carney played his best match so far imo.

Carney was ****ing lazy tracking back and was responsible for one of the goals.

He just stands there as his man makes a run.

Might be good with the ball but is too much of a liability without it.

[belchardo]

She cynically patted me on the head and said "never mind, one day your dreams will come true".......smarmy bitch.

Tifo for next home match: "win it for jetmaster's sex life"

I admit he's coming off a low base.

And if cowards like Middleby etc don't front to do anything about it then I'll continue to vent on here til Mr Dillion hopefully cuts and pastes some of my business to use in his columns.

First 25 min looks like we train once a week and practice walking through a game. We are slow, we move the ball slow and we have no movement. Nix moved us around and we tired....not that the team has any fitness anyway. Honestly is our fitness coach a cross between Homer Simpson and peter griffin?

Griff should have had a hatty by halftime....probably down to bench warming, playing wide or the once a week training sessions.

Two home games in a row we could have won if our finishing or final ball was more clinical.


Frustration is so far in the past I can't even see it anymore.

Stubbins is a joke...do the right thing and walk away.

[hawk]

Hoole was good. Carney played his best match so far imo.

yep.

why take hoole off. That was the start of a stubbfail.

And Montano, ok he had some passes to run onto that turned into 50/50's but he easily lost them all due slack assness. He was not interested for mine. Maybe his mental side has fallen into the hole with a few others.

After reading Dillon on twitter tonight, I think he is about to cut loose on the current ownership.

Heart broken tonight. Absolutely gutted.

I lost the love tonight.

Probably got sick and tired of the service.
Everytime he showed for a throw in it came at waist/belly height FFS
Everytime a teammate passes to him it is never on the deck and either at his head/chest.

What is that shit??

[plague]

He'll blame the Squadron.

[sammydog]

He'll blame the Squadron.

Going off tonight, he feels for the fans and is gunning for Tinker to be removed by FFA.

We actually need the media pushing if we want the FFA to step in.

Not excuses. The service the bloke gets at times is absolute shite and most of the time it is needlessly bad due the incompetent skills of his teammates

The bloke is no superstar but is getting **** all quality ball making his job harder than it needs to be

[Hunter403]

Watch Neville's work on goals 2 and 3. Seen better in under 12s.

Agree about Hoole. Great with the ball at his feet and running at them but a weak first touch and some honking passing.

Pepper was good. Carney our most dangerous attacking option. Kanta must have got a rocket at half time because he started the second half very strongly and was, for a while, playing as well as he ever has.

Griff tried as did Montano. The rest were crap.

[Ranger-86]

Going off tonight, he feels for the fans and is gunning for Tinker to be removed by FFA.

We actually need the media pushing if we want the FFA to step in.

Not to be ignorant, just curious, what do people think will change if tinkler goes??. From all reports he doesnt care
About the jets but is that a bad thing???. Say the ffa take over , would they sack middleby or stubbins??.

Im just wondering what people would expect from a change in owner.

[Mark325]

Honestly, coming from someone who genuinely does try and be optimistic about this club, I just can't ****ing do it anymore.

The fact is, this club does not deserve the love we try and give it.

How any player can be approached by this club, young players especially and even consider us actually blows my mind. Time and time again, we have shown that we halt the progress of any young player attempting to break through and de-rail any career that showed any sign of promise.

The club is run by the most inept people too ever run a football cub, and the fact that it is still standing when most any club run by the same ****wits who run ours would have died a long time ago speaks wonders about the fact that we as fan, for some unknown ****ing reason still show up to these games.

Great post:thumbsup:

[howardyou]

I love the Jets!

[Retro Jet]

I love the Jets!

I now love the idea of loving the Jets...but even that's hard atm.

[furns]

Just looking at the goals via replay now:
1st goal was Kew playing Burns onside, this defence is not playing as a unit yet due to injuries and poor fitness.
2nd goal was clearly offside
3rd goal was a brilliant strike, but you could make a case that Neville could have closed him down quicker

Biggest issue for me currently is our complete and total lack of fitness after 60 minutes. 12/19 goals conceded after the hour mark.
Double training sessions until we can last the full 90.

[Mitchy]

Hate e group


And body even more

[Blackmac79]

Shape up or ship out.

Now, we're all gutted with how the team is going on field.


It was however, fantastic to see Marcos Flores outside the western stand mingling with the fans before the game. No photo or autograph request was too much.




A great ambassador for football.

As far as the booing goes the Players should be thankful. Because many of us passed that stage a year ago and simply don't give a **** if the team wins, loses or draws anymore.

[pv4]

It's performances like this years that discourages new members from staying on the foz.

[Jeterpool]

Then you have David carney swearing at fans as he walks down the tunnel.

Shameful prick.

Did he seriously do that? Look he's probably annoyed at how the team is playing too. What prompted him to swear at the fans? Was he sworn at first?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Carney- wasn't there, have heard fans were giving it to him as he walked off. So it was probably a 2 way street.

Should give them constructive feedback throughout the game. Every pass forward - cheer. Every pass back that had no pressure - boooo.

Also, we could do what some fans did elsewhere. Print off 100 arrows and have people running side to aide pointing towards the goal.

At least it'll give us something to laugh about.

[Superdylan]

We want stubbins out, say we want stubbins out etc

Shameful prick.

Carney was lazy in defence and if he truly was swearing at even one of the near 10,000 paying customers who turned up despite the weather and recent performances, then he needs the riot act read to him.

[WolfMan]

Body was telling him to acknowledge the fans instead of sulking off down the tunnel.
Carney returned fire with "Fvck off, ya fat cvnt"

Cue booing.

To be fair, I can understand he frustration from players, but carney is an imposter.

[redwah]

First 15 min BK had the most touches of any player and non were shots stopped....shows our mentality.

Why does carney feel the need to take free kicks in the defensive half of the field? He did it a number of times early doors and we just passed it back. Why not at least push forward and lump it up there and make their defence work even slightly.

****ing negative slow pathetic bullshit play......coaching is shite, playing style is non existant.

I ****ing hate all this new age crap about philosiphies and crap. Football is a simple game made hard by people who don't have a clue. Pass, move, put it in the net. Simple.

[Imyourhero]

I didnt see the game, how did Mitch Cooper go in his cameo?

[lquiquer]

Football is a simple game made hard by people who don't have a clue. Pass, move, put it in the net. Simple.

And to quote Johan Cruyff: "Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.”

[sneaky]

Best player on the park for us was Madaschi. Was epic in the air and shouted at the lads all day. Was organised and cleared the ball many times when we were in trouble.
Love the Jets. Hate the running of this club. Love SOME of the players efforts but we are just nowhere near good enough with this coaching system.
Stubbins has a rif raf bunch of players but a great coach would bond them together for at least a few wins so far.

My kudos goes to the 9k that turned up. i was pretty surprised. I took a new guy to watch his forst game and he couldnt belive how many ppl turned up when we are sitting 2nd last.

Fire up Jets. Get a new owner and a new coach and lets fix this mess sooner rather than later.

Hoole would have had a brilliant assist if Griff hadn't have frozen in front of goal. An assist. What more do you want from a winger? He defended hard. Sure, he lost the ball, just like every other useless imposter on our roster.

[q-money]

tbf i think griff was surprised he even got to it, some ****en ball though ay

[Frodo]

Pretty devastated WSW are still ahead of us in the race for the wooden spoon. We want it so much more than them, we deserve it more than them, i think it would be a disgrace to football if we didn't win it comfortably.

You are joking. No hoole, no hope

[newi24-2-08]

To be honest I think the first 70 minutes were the best we had played all year

[plague]

thought the ref had a good game tho.

[hawk]

unlike that linesman. where did his guide dog sneak off to anyway, poor thing.

[skullboy]

Referee Adam Fielding-methings his first time in Newy-first season in HAL as far as i am aware

I though the referee was not too bad. not great but better than the likes of Gillett and Delovski by a country mile. the linesmen were absolute rubbish though. The south-west linesman got more decisions wrong than right and the other cost us the second goal which was clearly offside.

No home ground advantage here....

Their second was offside, a minute later Krishna got played through and got called off when he was half a meter onside.
He was having a bit of trouble i think!

[stormypete]

Like everyone else ... I'm struggling to put up with this crap.
But I will be there .. I will ALWAYS be there. Not sure who benefits from my blind support but it's just the way it is.

And to the Squadron ... you guys were awesome.
While most were looking for cover from the rain (myself included), you kept punching out the chants till the end.
In short .. you were inspiring.

[My2BobsWorth]

Forwards can't score goals, defenders can't stop goals and midfield can't do either. Sack everyone.
