match details added to OP

[cymonster]

Just remember that wearing casual clothes means you're ready to fight.

I reckon phil plays a defensive side and goes for a draw for minute one. And will change goalkeepers half way thru because why not.

[Blackmac79]

Just remember that wearing you gear means you're ready to fight.

Do gold kits count?

But who are you? and what do you know about this "gear"?

[furns]

Spoken to Brooke from the Jets and Mark from Waratah LAC this arvo. There will obviously be a heightened police & security presence for this game.
Police will be escorting the WSW march into the southern gates by 430pm.
Jets supporters are advised to delay leaving the Tenzo until 430pm, and to go around cricket field onto Turton Rd and into the western gates. Cops will also be stationed near southern gates on the Styx bridge.
Anyone wanting to be in Bay 60 MUST have a bay 60 ticket or membership for this game. Security will be refusing entry to anyone without a valid bay 60 ticket to keep out the WSW casuals.
Single game bay 60 tickets are available at the dedicated window to the right of the western stand turnstiles. Anyone with a non bay 60 membership can upgrade to a bay 60 ticket by visiting the Membership services window to the left of the western stand turnstiles.

[cymonster]

But who are you? and what do you know about this "gear"?
The less you know, the better

[Blackmac79]

The less you know, the better

More than you I am sure ;)

[militiamon]

Can you confirm whether this includes smart casual clothes as well? Are button-down shirts a no-no? Chinos? What about if I turn up in a pair of bright coloured ankle boots, can I be expected to be set upon by the WSW fashion police for that too?

[GazFish35]

I'm wearing a three piece suit to avoid any trouble.
But just to **** with the system, I'm wearing thongs.

17 options to whack Wanderers (no shit... this is the title)


Newcastle Jets Head Coach Phil Stubbins has today named an initial 17 player squad to take on Western Sydney Wanderers at Hunter Stadium on Saturday night.
All 16 of the players involved in the matchday squad for last round’s narrow 2-1 defeat to Brisbane Roar are again in line to feature, while youngster Nick Cowburn has been promoted to the extended squad.

New recruit Travis Cooper played for the Jets Youth team against Sydney FC Youth on Wednesday, and will no doubt be in better shape should he take to the pitch against Wanderers thanks to his exertions against the junior Sky Blues.

South Korean left back Lee Ki-je has looked sharp in training this week, and though he made his debut for the Club from the bench last round, the former Shimizu S-Pulse man may be in line to start.

Kick-off against Western Sydney Wanderers this Saturday afternoon is 5:00pm.

Tickets can be purchased here.

Newcastle Jets Squad vs. Western Sydney Wanderers: 1. Jess VANSTRATTAN (Gk), 2. Scott NEVILLE, 3. Taylor REGAN, 5. Ben KANTAROVSKI, 8. Zenon CARAVELLA, 10. Travis COOPER, 11. Andrew HOOLE, 12.

[DinoKresinger]

Anway, only registered to say that I along with most wsw and rbb members love the trip up to newcastle. The tunnel going into your stadium is epic, always a highlight.

These top-of-the-table clashes are always huge games so I expect a high quality game ;)

We're going to win the league! :woo:

[plague]

so I expect a high quality game ;)


As long as you only watch half the field you might be ok.

Also, if any mongs feel like starting a barney with innocent bystanders can you point them in the direction of Phil Stubbins and do all of us a ****ing favour.

Ta.

Yes he has, he was there at the last game along with a bunch of us that were attacked by said "fashion police" because of what people were wearing. Apparently wearing anything other than colors means you are keen for a carpark scrap over banners :sigh:

Geez you blokes are easily amused then.
Tunnels are a highlight. FMD

Anyway you sheep learnt any new material yet or is it just gonna be the same inane shit performed by the performing seals that you stole from elsewhere as per usual???

I could make it clear to you that I meant the noise that we produce going through said tunnel, but you already know that.

I have never, and will never pick a fight with an opposition fan, and the people who did who are allegedly 'wsw casual' were just dickheads not wsw-specific dickheads. Newy's got em too.

Maybe you should put the same amount of energy you expend criticising our active group into creating one of your own.

Hi Dino.
Listen mate, i know you havent been here long, and some of your early work has been fantastic

it will make things easier on everyone.

I'm just surprised that he has an Internet connection in his Fibro.

See Dino, I tried to help.

Anyway, enjoy your time in Newy.

Legit question tho:
Is Hoxton park considered Western Sydney or is it further out?

[plague]

I'm just surprised that he has an Internet connection in his Fibro.

Nah, just log onto someone's wifi as you're doing a home invasion.

[Jetmaster]

Since when is JvS no.1?

It's a squad number vacated by the previous holder. BK is 20 and I think will probably keep that number as long as he is at the Jets.

[Jeterpool]

BK did used to wear 1.

Yeah but since the pink day last year and the distribution of number 20 shirts I think that number means alot to him now.

I loved Dino......he never really scored did he?

Wasn't utilising the western sydney (street) corners well enough.

Likes playing the wanderers cowburn.

Nevs out injured Cowburn is set to start tomorrow.


Hopefully not one of those Liam Miller type calf injuries !.

[pv4]

I really liked Cowburn when he played down at Pirtek. For his debut, lining up directly against Ruka, I thought he did great in the circumstances. All the best to the guy!

[Premy]

I must be feeling sick, for some reason I'm slightly optimistic for the game tomorrow.

[MFKS]

Nevs out injured Cowburn is set to start tomorrow.
Neville really injured or just the Player Agents dictating our side again??

Neville really injured or just the Player Agents dictating our side again??

He was one of the ones who stood up and said he was playing for fans and city, no longer the coach... So it's possible.

Agent tripped him going down stairs?

Big picture is

Those polo wearing pig shafters were wsw fans but maybe not the norm. I had a chat to many of the other wsw fans at half time in a bar and they were excellent.

Newcastle has no hero fan fighters, nil. Why would they? its only for immature egos and illiterate twats. Didn't you guys learn from the top mob Victory?

[MFKS]

I look forward to us getting pumped today by the last placed team on our home patch.



Something is seriously wrong at the club when a fan has no expectation of winning, hope is non existent as it has been dashed a long time ago and I am actually excited about the prospect of us losing as I will achieve more satisfaction in Stubbins looking like a fool AGAIN than actually seeing us salute with a win.

Well Done Stubbins/GVE/Middleby/Palmer/Tinkler etc for making me feel this way.

MATCHDAY | Help us wound the Wanderers at Hunter Stadium this afternoon!

I suppose whacking and wounding is better than this time last year when our entire social media output for this game was "HOW GOOD ARE THESE GUYS. COME ALONG AND HELP US WANK OFF THE WANDERERS"

[GazFish35]

its a shame their fans are the ones planning on doignt he whacking and wounding.

from behind the bushes, 15 on 1

[Grimario]

Remember that A-League ad, 90 minutes 90 emotions?

I wish we had that instead of the ever pervasive sense of inevitability we have now.

[Bremsstrahlung]

I am actually excited about the prospect of us losing as I will achieve more satisfaction in Stubbins looking like a fool AGAIN than actually seeing us salute with a win.


Needs to get even worse before it gets better, imo.
I can't see any light for at least 12 months.
When/if FFA decide to play hard ball with Tinks, Tinks is going to draw it out and make an absolute shambles of the whole thing.
If a new owner comes in and offers Tinks some $$$, I'm curious to see whether he'd take it. Regardless, for the effects of a new owner to kick in, would take us 1-3 seasons to rebuild this mess.

[furns]

Wont make it up today unfortunately - have been struggling with the flu the last few days and still havent recovered :(

[stopper2]

Thinking of making a "symbolic gesture" today by wearing my Gold jersey under the red and blue one to the game and then taking off the red and blue one during the warm-up and throwing it at Stubbins or on the pitch....any other ideas??? I figured I didn't really like it in the first place (as it just looks like the Knights colours to me) so now is an opportune time to turf it out and make a statement at the same time.

[joel31]

Just walking to the game from the station I saw 3x as many Wanderers fans as jets fans

[Blackmac79]

Don't be surprised if there isn't a Squadron today....

Braedyn Crowley is on the bench. Is he any good?

Seen him play when the Jets were up in Townsville where they picked him up from. Didn't look too bad and he is quick. Got a pretty decent scoring record in the NPL aswell not that it counts for much in the A-League.

[Rocknerd]

What the actual **** is Gallagher doing?

I think lee found that game a little easy. I would would love to see him surrounded by some players close to his football iq

[MFKS]

:shock:Well that was depressing. These ****'s can't get anything right. Snatch defeat from the jaws of a draw and you think here we go the best thing of the day will happen tearing into Stubbins and they go up and jag a penalty.

So pissed off

We took 53mins at home today to have a ****ing shot against the team coming last. That is just not good enough. Results matter but FFS I want to be entertained and get excited about the game. That was as boring a game as I have seen in 3-4years.

Credit to our player agents picking the team they had the boys having a go and trying for the fans at least.
As for Stubbins his subs?? FMD Takes off Hoole again?? Why??
Waits until 20mins to go also despite us being massively on the back foot.

Can the Player Agent be consulted on the subs?? He is doing a much better job at getting us competitive than Stubbins does

Two shit pens by the ref. Handball has to be intentional doesn't it. What was intentional about either of them?? Both defenders were unlucky and that has been denied to us 3-4 times this season. Where is the consistency??

As for the fame of making Twitter :shock:

I agree, with pretty harsh calls.

Game as a whole, boring negative football by both teams. Lee is a highlight and if this club is serious about this change of culture bullshit, then they need to sign him long term ASAP. They won't though, it will be a suck it and see till the end of the season and we will lose him to the Smurfs.

With the Flares, aren't the WSW sitting on a suspended fine/loss of points for crowd issues? Surely tonight would have to be an issue.

Gee Twitters fun.

But I do agree was cheering us losing again. No way do I want us to pick up another point while these ****tards are in control

That was a hard game to sit through. Does phil know about how attacking football can win games because right now he seems to be playing for the draw only. Does anyone know what those gunshot type noise after the rbb let those flares off were?

[MFKS]

I am supporting the players through gritted teeth.

I would on some level like to tear into them as they as a group are not without fault in our mess but supporting them at this time is needed and it would be wrong of me not to cheer them when they achieve positive results

[Maito Mitch]

Haven't posted on here for a while, bit of a come back.

Dunno about everyone else but I feel like I've totally lost the passion of supporting the club. I almost find myself wanting the team to lose, I just couldn't care less atm. And it's f'ing depressing. I'm not even sure if tinkler being shown the door would fix it... The heart and soul of the club has been ripped out imo, there's no connection there at all.

Also, silent protest by the squadron tonight? I don't mean for this to come out the wrong way... But I think you guys picked a pretty poor game for that. The ground was the loudest it's been all season today, the protest would have gone unnoticed on tv?

[Wilso8948]

Can someone explain to me why we are still playing Hoole? Obviously the kid is quality and a local. I for one would love to see him stay. But if he's flat out refused to sign and 100% is going to leave why play him? With us sitting near bottom and season gone surely there is no reason to develop this kid for Sydney's use next year. We haven't got many other options but bench him and blood a youngster.. I mean how much worse could we get

Player Agents are picking the team and not Stubbins. Why would they drop their player???

It’s a pat on the back to me

[joel31]

After watching the Asian Cup I struggle watch the Jets at the moment. I feel disconnected from the club. Stubbins goes for the 0-0 in a bottom of the table clash. Boring, pointless possession around the back with no attempt to penetrate

Hey mitch. Your first part pretty much sums up the mood.

The squadron had heaps away tonight thus the minimal noise. The 5pm is a crap time for me. 7.30 I would have made it.

this is just a general point. Ive never understood why the silent majority whinge when the chanting minority aren't loud enough or don't turn up. People shouldn't complain if they aren't willing enough to join in or help out when numbers are low. What is this mentality? can someone explain?

The squadron is a small group but full of willing people who have a go and have heaps of fun.

Detonators. As used on train tracks to warn workers ahead of an imminent danger

Detonators. As used on train tracks to warn workers ahead of an imminent danger

In light of issues society faces with terrorism the question really should be asked as to why serious charges are not being laid against those responsible. When I heard them my initial thoughts were an explosion bomb had gone off with the bangs. Took a couple of seconds to realise it was not what I thought it was.

I have my sauces

[sammydog]

Didn't seem to be anyone removed either. Multiple flares, one that made it to the pitch and several detonators. Surely there is grounds here for the club to be sanctioned.

Inundate the FFA with letters and they take points off them and we don't get the trophy we deserve for our season of shiteness

It won't happen Membah


They will sweep this under the rug like normal

Not suggesting we inundate the FFA with correspondence at all I see it as a good reason not to say shit on the matter

We want to win the spoon fair and square and not on the back of some team losing points to boost our lead on them in the race for 9th

He's genuinely taking the piss.

He has to be doesn't he?
It has been said previously in this thread, and i don't know if its more tinkler or stubbins (or both), but i am completely and utterly disconnected from this playing group and club. I couldn't even rouse myself to celebrate when we scored. (plastic)

[Hunter403]

What a dull match. Is it just me or we do the GVE at the back the go back to 1980's UK football with the long ball in an effort to spark an attack? We offered nothing in the final third. Too many long balls were easily cut out (particularly the diagonal passes).

Luckily we haven't faced a good team since the "Night of the Cull"

Did you see Stubbins when they got the penalty? Damn near sh1t himself. When we got ours he went behind the bench to pray. I could here the sigh of relief all the way over in bay 6.

[q-money]

urgh those diagonal balls ffs, such rubbish

[hawk]

Stabbins is delighted with the style of play and overall position

His only fan is well pleased also

[Rocknerd]

Happy with zero shots on goal for 50 minutes of the match?????

I'm not quite sure he understands what the aim of football is.

[WolfMan]

RE: the long balls, this is a byproduct of the formation, i.e Nobody within cooee of Montano. Change the formation, and change the approach. Griffo would be ideal running off Montano as he holds it up…

Good call. No language barrier there either.

Literally, fans could put out a better functioning side than young Philip. Says a lot

[Superdylan]

Had to work last night when the game was on.

Had a couple western Sydney fans pick up pizza at crust. Saw a couple at the kebab shop on Beaumont st, some around king st Maccas aswell. Hahaha what proportion of the crowd were western Sydney fans?

[ClemoAdam]

Superdylan, pretty much all the people that were sitting in the Eastern Grandstand looked to be Wanderers. I'd say it must have been about 50/50, our "support" (used very loosely) was just more spread out.

[GazFish35]

Last year they packed 5 bays and a smattering amongst the rest
This year, just one, with similar smatterings.

Their support' while loud and vocal is pretty fickle.


We've been shit for years, those blokes lifted a content instal trophy only a few weeks ago.


The WSW supporter circle jerk is ridiculous.

Except of course neither was great when playing together many times. Both are far too static and need someone with genuine pace beside them

We played 2 upfront on enough occasions to know it didn't work. Nothing against either player, I just don't think they worked well together. Maybe Griffo 5 years ago but not today.

We did under Zane only once under Stubbins. In one heavy loss we changed to it at half time

This is the reason I'm not going to attend another game while Stubbins is in charge.

[Grimario]

We did it all few times in the guise of a 352. Stubbins was hailed as a tactical genius because we beat Adelaide using it... No one seemed to notice that they pretty much played us off the park. No one seemed to notice that we got torn apart down the middle on a half dozen occasions and that they butchered a bunch of one on ones.

Stubbins all over, talking up a player one week, then a couple weeks down the track he will be mysteriously sidelined a la Steele, Flores, Virgili, Jeronimo etc. I have never come across a coach who is so full of shite!!!

[My2BobsWorth]

Speaking of full of shit...

[MFKS]

Speaking of your mate how is he enjoying not having anything to do with the Jets??

Quite frankly I am enjoying his absence

[mervan]

I found it surprising that the U/18 jets had a trial on Saturday at the same time as the A-league game. What is going on.

[Thomas477]

Think we've got more pressing issues mervan tbh

[redwah]

Actually think he has a point...if it's supposed to be a "club" and not just a team then the squads from the club should be "encouraged" to attend all first team games. Just the same as the head coach should be attending all youth team and as many junior games as he can. How else is he supposed to assess if a player can make the transition to the senior squad....something the owner and head coach have stated they encouraging....unless of course the owner and head coach are full of shit.

[Jeterpool]

Jets v Wanderers Trivia:
1. How many players has Phil Stubbins given a Newcastle Jets debut to this season?

2. Who are the 5 Wanderers players to have received a booking against the Jets?

3. Which Jets player has spent the most time on the pitch this season?

1. 12

2. Mateo Poljak, Ante Covic, Nikolai Topor Stanley, Mark Bridge, Matthew Spiranovic.

3. David Carney

The head coach should be present at all NYL games in Newy point blank. They don't clash with the HAL so what the **** is the excuse to not check on the progress of the Yoof team players??
The head coach should be at all NPL games involving the Jets Yoof First grade team also.
The head coach should also be at the minimum attending a few of the NPL Yoof games involving the EJ Program just to keep checks on what is happening and put forth any issues he notices.

Even GVE used to **** off 20-30 mins before FT when he made the effort to front


Epic failure on all fronts here. No great surprise though

I reckon probably not. It ain't like we have or had an admin team who actually have a plan or hold anyone to account for anything

But you would also think KPI's like winning games making semis etc would be in there also.

Reality appears that they are probably not there either otherwise someone would have fired his useless arse by now

Yeah that was my point....best and cheapest way to ensure the long term benefit of the club is to get the best talent early, keep it and develop it......though with our last 2 head coaches the less of the young fellas they have contact with the better.
