[plague]

Doomed. At least 8-0.
Miller out.

[The Dunster]

You can't win games when you don't score goals.

Easy win for Melbourne.

[furns]

added match details to OP

[MFKS]

Doomed. At least 8-0.
Miller out.

Your fighting the good fight Plague

Calling a spade a spade and not accepting mediocrity.

Keep it up

[Jetmaster]

Actually looking forward to watching us play without Carney as we move into transfer time.

[MFKS]

**** the FFA

The Jets wanted to wear the gold tomorrow but were not allowed to do so and will be wearing the blue shit

Exactly how the **** does the gold clash with Victree colours of navy white or their white and sky blue kit??


****ing joke of biblical proportions these ****s running our game and our club

[WolfMan]

****ing joke of biblical proportions these ****s running our game and our club

So the fan vote for use of the gold kits is all rubbish? Up to the powers that be when we can actually use it.

Gold didn't clash when we hosted Victory in years gone by, why now?

Probably afraid of the unmitigated disaster that was Nix v Victory earlier this season

[northern_swan]

The cynic in me says that Melbourne are contracted to wear their white kit this week & therefore they will get their way. FFA are saying no to jets gold to avoid a TV clash like the nix game.

[Jetmaster]

The cynic in me says that Melbourne are contracted to wear their white kit this week & therefore they will get their way. FFA are saying no to jets gold to avoid a TV clash like the nix game.

Take us as an example...we have different sponsors on our away kit. As gold is currrently our third kit we can't complain. If it does get voted in as our home kit that is a different situation.

[GazFish35]

We have the same sponsor of the blue kit as the gold.

I don't see why the away team can't just be made to wear their navy kit with their "away" sponsor on it.


**** me this is ridculous isn't it.

[hawk]

free kids tix with membership this game?

[MFKS]

free kids tix with membership this game?

Anyone who takes kids to this with free tickets should be prosecuted for child abuse.

Torturing the innocent is uncalled for

[baldrick]

free kids tix with membership this game?


Members could get 2 free tickets - not just limited to kids tickets

[lquiquer]

Members could get 2 free tickets - not just limited to kids tickets

It's still abuse

[belchardo]

Big game. Win this and we're back in the top six. Would be nice but don't expect it to happen.

[MFKS]

Big game. Win this and we're back in the top six. Would be nice but don't expect it to happen.

If we are in the top 6 it says a lot about how shit the comp is.

No way in the world are we are play off side let alone a playoff contending side

[MFKS]

Game Day ****s

Fire Up

We are undefeated this year

Lets see if our record lasts more than 3 days

[Wilso8948]

whats the go with these free tickets? just tried to get on via membership website and select the special offer. Doesn't give me an option to add to cart. Thinking of just rocking up at the membership line to see what they say. Tried calling the membership line and they closed on game day. Typical..

I think the email said they had to be redeemed by the 2nd Jan.

[Superdylan]

This rain can **** off hahaha

Hope the game is not delayed.

[weston]

This rain can **** off hahaha

Hope the game is not delayed.

Raining that bad is it?

[MFKS]

Is Poljak or Watson in the game???

What the **** are they doing.

Tackle some **** FFS

[The Dunster]

It's a Newcastle home game and they are trapped in their own half. Miller can get ****ed.
Parking the bus makes the club a joke. Better to die on you feet than live on your knees Miller.

[weston]

Watson could of been sent off there. Would of probably benefitted us if he did.

[The Dunster]

Phil Dando on radio is currently saying that Miller should perhaps change the formation and play with two up front. in a 4-4-2.

Never going to happen.

[redwah]

Very GVE type performance today. Give it to the defensive midfielder,pass it back to the centre half under pressure, struggle and kick it over the side line....oh the memories....and the keeper is getting in on it playing out from the back....glory days are here again.

[weston]

Good move but why didn't alivodic shoot?

[The Dunster]

Good move but why didn't alivodic shoot?

Club policy is no goals.

How shit are Melbourne though ? All that money and yet they look terrible.

[redwah]

Berisha is such a ****....don't care how many goals you score he's still a ****.

[MFKS]

I know we love Watson being the worst in our team but can someone enlighten me how Kitto gets a run

The bloke is so far off the pace he may as well not be out there

Hook him FFS

[weston]

I was thinking the same thing a minute ago in regards to melbourne. They are shit.

[MFKS]

I was thinking the same thing a minute ago in regards to melbourne. They are shit.

I think Millers madterplan is to bore the **** out of them and frustrate them and try and jag a 1-0 loss

On target

[leftrightout]

I know we love Watson being the worst in our team but can someone enlighten me how Kitto gets a run

The bloke is so far off the pace he may as well not be out there

Hook him FFS

Yeah he is bad! As you said, so far off the pace! Haven't seen too many players in the A-League seem so slow compared to very one else

[belchardo]

Thought we were ok from about 20 on. Enver should have shot (pretty sure we all know he can't cross by now).

Berisha should have been sent off. Late, no ball, studs up, impact above the ankle. Sick of his get of jail free cards.

I wasn't going to mention it but I agree 100%.

If you go back when that gypo got sent off for his challenge on Leo there really is not a lot of difference. I said back then I had an issue with these calls being consistent. This just proves my point, and there's been a lot more since than that are in the same basket.

[Hunter403]

There is some spirit in them today.

[weston]

Kitto off Pav or Crowley on.

Do it miller.

[Hunter403]

Kitto off Pav or Crowley on.

Double change hopefully. Get Trif or Alivodic or both off

Do it miller.

Get Trif and Ailvodic off

[weston]

Alivodic, Watson, Trif .... Take your pick

[Hunter403]

Alivodic, Watson, Trif .... Take your pick

Dead right

[weston]

Alright Miller. Now have a real go

[belchardo]

Alivodic, Watson, Trif .... Take your pick

I'm picking alivodic. Can understand others choosing watson or trif.

[belchardo]

Alright Miller. Now have a real go

Agree. Points to win now, not lose.

[weston]

With Pav on for Trif I would now take off Watson, push Kanta back and put cooper behind Pav

No point waiting till injury time to do this miller. We are getting nothing at the moment.

[belchardo]

Let the circle jerk commence - griff in the crowd next to carney.

[Hunter403]

Let the circle jerk commence - griff in the crowd next to carney.

Can only imagine the expletives

[Couscous]

Very GVE type performance today.

Not nearly that good.

[Grimario]

Didn't watch. Amazing how much my general life happiness is not enduring their shit week in week out.

[380]

Not nearly that good.

Are you looking for your third go ?.

[Jeterpool]

Didn't watch. Amazing how much my general life happiness is not enduring their shit week in week out.

I'm so depressed. I've got the shits.

Only highlight was having a go in the zorb ball football at half time. Great fun. Focussed more on knocking people over than actually scoring

[judge]

Kitto off Pav or Crowley on.

Do it miller.
Why do we have to put up with these !#$@ing losers from elsewhere in our team. There's local players in NNSW NPL that are streets ahead of this unit. He's shite, send him back from where he came.

[weston]

I'm going to witness this shit in the flesh in 2 weeks time. **** I hope we improve or Wellington put on a show.

[belchardo]

I'm so depressed. I've got the shits.

Heard you got on the field. Should have taken one for the world and shat on kevin's seat. :brrr:

[belchardo]

I'm going to witness this shit in the flesh in 2 weeks time. **** I hope we improve or Wellington put on a show.

We'll be in sydney next Saturday, might subject ourselves to some pain and go to the game.

[weston]

Booked the old boy some tickets to go watch jets vs roar at Suncorp. Now that's gonna be a good family trip isn't it. First game he has been to since Nth Qld was booted. At least he'll see some goals.

[MFKS]

It is just heart breaking at the moment being a Jets fan

Hope is all but lost that it is changing anytime soon

The FFA have shafted us and lost the goodwill of the fans after Tinklers reign ended by not supporting the club adequately.

Watching us today it is crystal clear our coach is clueless and is just as much of the problem as our shitful players are

[380]

What did he do to you that was so bad ?.

[plague]

i mean, that was just awful.

again.

and melbourne were pretty bad too, but jeez, the Jets stink.

[leftrightout]

i mean, that was just awful.

again.

and melbourne were pretty bad too, but jeez, the Jets stink.

Yeah melbourne being bad is being overlooked. I don't think we were good from 20 mins onwards like others have said. I think melbourne were terrible and gave us that much ball it wasn't funny. We are just that sh*t that we couldn't do anything with it.
If Victory gave Wanderers that much ball it would have been very ugly!
