So does Phoenixs No 3 work also??

[Imyourhero]

Thoughts on Michael Kantarovski?

[Hunter403]

Not ready yet

[Grimario]

Madaschi signed for them... WiWonder if he can play and score against us?

[q-money]

so another week of this clown setting us up not to try to win a game, but not to lose

how fkn depressing

[The Dunster]

If ever I wanted the Wanderers to find some form it is today. Hopefully the Wanderers can win by four or more goals. Anything less will be disappointing.

[hawk]

more chance of the RRB causing a fire and killing themselves than us winning. wouldnt be the worst thing

[sammydog]

As much as I feel for there players and would prefer we win, I sort of hope if we lose, we lose in a big way.

Problem is, that seems to be putting no more pressure on stubbins as he knows his job is safe irrespective of results.

[The Dunster]

more chance of the RRB causing a fire and killing themselves than us winning. wouldnt be the worst thing

You do realise the RBB invented fire :gent:

[WolfMan]

Stubbins can't get the $hit-eating grin off his face when answering the hard questions from Tara "You haven't scored in the last 3 games, what changes have you made to combat that?"

To be fair, the lineup looks the most attacking I've seen from us in some time

[the blue manc]

If these donkeys can not beat the Wanderers today they should not turn up next week.

[Retro Jet]

And that's 0-1 gone begging after 25 seconds...

[pistolpete]

I can't understand why Hoole is in the squad. He has signed for Sydney. Why are we giving him game time?

[Retro Jet]

And Aspro means 'the white one' in greek...

[boz-monaut]

this game, it isn't very enjoyable to watch

[Retro Jet]

lol at the fan chuckin paper before the ball has hit the back-o-the-net

[Retro Jet]

this game, it isn't very enjoyable to watch

Heard Cookers v W/Bay at TimeRite Stadium was the place to be this arvo....

[WolfMan]

What the hell was Covic doing there? He's cracking

[boz-monaut]

I think it's fair to say that was probably the worst bit of keeping in all of Ante Covic's career

[NewyTy]

Man the Wanderers must hate playing us. Surely we'll find a way to screw this up and concede three or four.

[WolfMan]

Sarah Ho is a dead-set moron

I'll tell ya where you can shove that flag

And Strebre is just as much to blame. He should have over-ruled that, absolute disgrace

[boz-monaut]

I think it's fair to say that was probably the worst off-side decision in the entire history of the A-League

[Retro Jet]

Dumb AS DOGSHIT....

[foti68]

I think it's fair to say that was probably the worst off-side decision in the entire history of the A-League

i agree its just our season

[snake]

but she's not anglo boz. don't be racial in "don't be racial" round

but montano is racial too

so is mitch cooper for the peno

still, stubbins is white so **** thst guy

[boz-monaut]

it's more than that

at no point was he off side - when the ball was hit obviously (5 metres), but even when he put the ball in the net

complete and utter bullshit

[belchardo]

Unbelievable decision.

This match is absolutely horrible to watch.

[pistolpete]

Easily 15m onside

[foti68]

Strebre must of had his head up his arse he can overrule the linesman

[NewyTy]

No words at all. Captain's challenge needs to happen. Or better yet they shouldn't make idiotic calls like that.

[snake]

why didn't the players kick up a stink, other than obviously not caring about the result?

[snake]

Strebre must of had his head up his arse he can overrule the linesman

don't argue with women m8

[Tainted]

What a horrible decision, worst offside call I have seen for a long time in any league

[WolfMan]

Sarah Ho won't run the line again this season IMHO

[boz-monaut]

I played an All Age trial game today - the kid running the line was quite shit, the ref was being assessed (i.e. a new ref) and he was ok-ish but took it way too seriously for a trial game between teams who knew each other

the officials I had in my meaningless low-grade, amateur game were a thousand times better than these clowns looking after the highest club level in this country

it's an absolute disc race

[hawk]

Sarah Ho is a dead-set moron

I'll tell ya where you can shove that flag

And Strebre is just as much to blame. He should have over-ruled that, absolute disgrace

too many retards in aleague officialdom.

[Retro Jet]

Paying peanuts and obviously getting monkeys.
Yep, reckon if Scab Deluded in the middle had any balls he'd have overruled that.

[hawk]

Sarah Ho won't run the line again this season IMHO

Aleague officials don't see incompetence as a reason for being sacked. play on.

will get more games

[Jeterpool]

When did fox start airing national youth league?

[Thomas477]

Guys it's all good. Sarah obviously wanted us to draw or lose to keep the pressure on Stubbins.

KUTGW Sarah.

[Tainted]

What a goal...take a bow Lee !

[WolfMan]

too many retards in aleague officialdom.

If any pundit starts banging on about how the introduction of "full-time" officials will eradicate these errors, I will lose it.

If you can't see that Montaño is 5 yards onside there, full-time or not, you should give up alltogether

[Jeterpool]

Offside?

[foti68]

covic should think about retiring after his first half display

[boz-monaut]

not shown on the TV coverage, the flag was up a good ten seconds before the second goal went in

[NewyTy]

JUSTICE! Rule that offside. We should be up 4-0 with the penalty shout, 5-0 if Hooley finished his chance in the 1st minute. Just our luck

[hawk]

hey retard liney, that goal was also offside

[WolfMan]

Guys it's all good. Sarah obviously wanted us to draw or lose to keep the pressure on Stubbins.

KUTGW Sarah.

Quite the opposite. We could go on and lose this by 4, and Stubbins would have the perfect excuse in the disallowed goal

And he would be well within his rights

[baldrick]

The Wanderers must be shite if we're up 2-0 (and should be 3)

[boz-monaut]

the more you see that offside decision the worse it gets

[snake]

The Wanderers must be shite if we're up 2-0 (and should be 3)

four. defo peno on cooper

[Tainted]

Lucky for Sarah Ho we dont have more than 1 division in the A-league....otherwise, she would have been officiating in Div 2 next week

[NewyTy]

Lucky for Sarah Ho we dont have more than 1 division in the A-league....otherwise, she would have been officiating in Div 2 next week

I think you'll find she won't be officiating at all next week. Or she'll get dropped to Sydney comp.

[plague]

Officials don't like us much hey.

[Jeterpool]

Yes we're up but somehow it doesn't feel satisfying beating a mostly youth team.

We've never lost when we've been ahead at half time playing at pirtek.

Can hear the spruiking now

[foti68]

Kennedy is hopeless

[Beeen]

Here comes where we turn to shit

[NewyTy]

Kennedy just leaned a little bit and watched it. Couldn't hurt to maybe dive for it. We suck at defending free kicks.

[the blue manc]

Time to park the bus and get a draw.

[The Camel]

Kennedy just leaned a little bit and watched it. Couldn't hurt to maybe dive for it. We suck at defending free kicks.

Correction. BK sucks at defending Free kicks. Watch all his fan boi ****s calling it a world class strike again.

[Hunter403]

don't get it on tv or on line where I am today. What is the score?

[snake]

don't get it on tv or on line where I am today. What is the score?

wsw 1- jets 2
67 min

we have had the worst offside decision (maybe) ever and a dead-set peno call go against us

[NewyTy]

don't get it on tv or on line where I am today. What is the score?

Jets up 2-1 in 68th minute. Should be more. WSW starting to threaten our goal though.

[boz-monaut]

6.2 metres by my estimation

[belchardo]

Have they forgotten to turn the lights on?

[WolfMan]

Excellent work Boz

[boz-monaut]

I didn't take a photo of my electric television, I stole this off the internets

[Jeterpool]

No connexion on Gallagher there

[belchardo]

Cooper, ki je, serbian guy and montano all had good games imo.

[The Camel]

No connexion on Gallagher there
Possibly the worst professional footballer alive

What....no Kennedy?

There's jorge Drovandi.

[snake]

There's jorge Drovandi.

cough GVE cough

[NewyTy]

Wow! We actually won away from home. Yes we played a reserves squad but still feels good.

[boz-monaut]

yay - for five minutes we can pretend we haven't sucked all season

[Tainted]

6.2 metres by my estimation

She had to have been looking at something else ... miles on-side

Oh well...justice prevailed and we got the 3pts :thumbsup:

[Jeterpool]

Yay. We won.

[Mark325]

It shows how bad the season is when winning just feels so underwhelming

[380]

How much did Popovic have on the Jets ?.

[Jeterpool]

It shows how bad the season is when winning just feels so underwhelming

I'm glad in not the only one feeling empty

[The Dunster]

I felt less disappointed when we conceded seven against Adelaide.

[Hunter403]

We won? Crap! That useless bstard will claim this is proof of the team moving forward under his leadership.

Im right pi55ed off.

[Jetmaster]

I call foti68, NewyTy and The Camel to all be the same keyboard warrior.....hardly any posts between them, but all on here within minutes to bag BK !

Reckon poor Sarah had the death stare from the triads tonight. Usually competent and not a bad sort, something was terribly wrong tonight.

[NewyTy]

Not sure about the other two but I can assure you I'm not the same guy. In fact I think BK isn't the main problem on free kicks. The whole defensive set-up needs to change. We've conceded countless cheap free kick goals. I do think BK can improve his style on FKs but in saying that, Birraz wasn't much better. BK's a pretty good keeper. It's proven by the fact he's been at the A-League level for so long.

[sammydog]

Lets be realistic for a second. We essentially beat the Wanderers B-Side. Lets not get too carried away.

But as someone else said, we won and I'm still underwhelmed.

[The Camel]

I'm my own person. True I don't post regularly. To be fair I bagged Gallagher as well.

If it weren't for the hypocrites on here who bagged Birraz at every opportunity, yet bk can do no wrong, I probably wouldn't get so wound up. In my eyes the bloke is an imposter. He's truly awful and hasn't improved since his early days.

[Premy]

Before everyone gets giddy I'll remind you we only beat the team that came 2nd last in the NYL.

[My2BobsWorth]

I can see another 3 years for Stubby on that performance.

can confirm they are not the same dickhead

[joel31]

As soon as I saw the next number after Covic was 15 in the lineups I thought we had a chance. After we had the 1st minute chance I wasn't quite sure what I was watching. Their youth team was bad. If Adelaide or something played the Wanderers team from tonight it would have been 7 or something

[plague]

i was only stating the obvious.

I think there's a bloke on here who has that job already.

[joel31]

I thought it was nice how someone from the club came around and individually thanked everyone for coming

[GazFish35]

Love how the bk haters try to put words in the mouths of others.

Clearly poor communication between keeper and hoole.
Bk needs to sort that quicksmart.
Not good enough to be rooted to his line twice.


Still, not diving for either of the two freekicks wasn't the worst decision at the game.... That offside call. WOW.

[joel31]

Still Stubbins brought Gallagher on as a winger. I was worried that time he lost the ball that the wanderers would counter and score

[militiamon]

Even when we're up 2-0 I hate watching us these days.

It was a mildly entertaining game but played at a terrible standard. Neither side seemed to be able to build anything in the way of intelligent attacking play, and instead seemed to rely on the other team ****ing up, which it just so happened that the Wanderers did more than us.

completely agree with this sentiment

also, it makes it very hard to keep an interest in the A-League when the quality of the officials is this bad:

its almost a membership tearer. At least get most calls right or fk the league off

[MFKS]

All I can say at being at the game tonight is what a ****ing joy it is to actually see your team win a ****ing game. Doesn't matter how doesn't matter who but **** that felt good when that FT whistle went. The post game celebrations were great to see the smiles on the boys faces

Popovic is Stubbins Bitch
I think 2from 22 should now be known as The Asian Champion

Undefeated in 3 against a Muppet like Popovic who is walking the GVE career path everyday

As for that linesman just more proof why women deserve to get paid less than men :rof:

Let's leave sex out of this. Nothing to do with any other body parts besides the brain and eyes.

They aren't up to it. Strebre had a howler not that long ago also.

[baldrick]

At least they didn't give the same player 3 yellow cards *coughgrahampollcough*

Or send the wrong player off, as happened in the EPL overnight.


Still, it was a shocker.

[GazFish35]

Honking offside call, so bad in fact I'm not sure why the referee couldn't have overruled it. It's was 6 metres for FFS, surely the centre ref can see that big of an error.

By far the weirdest part was none of the players (esp Montano - who would have known he was good) did anything.
The odd shrug of shoulders was pretty much it.
They didn't give a shit.
Says a lot about our team at the moment.

Same for the absolute murdering that Cooper took. Not one single appeal for a penalty.

[MFKS]

Really a big shout out should go to those plastic fans who support the Wanderers.

Apparently they have 18k of Members and only got 10k there.

Plastic fans the lot of them. The bandwagon has come to a halt.


Even had 3 of the ****s get off at Cardiff station last night. Who at least made the effort to watch their team.
Whether they are Novacastrian sell outs I am unsure of but a bit of commitment shown by them sees my hat off


What was the excuse for the rest of the plastic fans???

I noticed that too.. At least, thats how it looked on tv..
I was expecting the boys to be jubilant or to at least look mildly interested in the fact they had won..
Couldn't have been further, looked more like expressions of "Thank God that is over"..

[Tommyjet]

I think montano was shocked a ball had got him in a goal scoring position without him having to do all the work himself

[The Dunster]

By ruling Montano offside Griffo remains the equal leading goal scorer for the Jets this season.

Good decision.

and to be fair, a good percentage of the missing 8k would have been outside the ground lurking in the bushes ready to bash someone.
