Get rid of Watson and Pav I'd say

[hawk]

I want last weeks ref. he is good

[weston]

Pretty keen for tomorrow. Bags packed.

I have a 100% record for Jets win when I'm in attendance this year. Good odds. Feeling confident. Bring it on.

I'm fearful Maclaren is gonna rape Boogs.

[Mark325]

Team is almost identical, only change is Kanta made the bench in place of Watson

[Grimario]

Team is almost identical, only change is Kanta made the bench in place of Watson

Good news

[leftrightout]

Sportsbet giving $9 for us to win. Can't resist that with our record up there!

[Retro Jet]

Dumb pen.
Bad luck Birraz...

[Nou Camp]

Alivodic actually delivered a nice final ball

[furns]

bahahaha

[Nou Camp]

How are we winning???
Worst start to a game I've ever seen from us
2 attacks 2 goals...

[Beeen]

Free the Triff

[westjet]

We play so much better without carney. Shame it took us so long to get rid of him. Long live the suncorp hoodoo.

[Jetmaster]

Must be Triffmas!

[westjet]

Looked very tired at the end there. Riding our luck not to concede.

[halo se7en]

Give Leo another 10 mins maximum to see if he can spark anything now that Bris have lost some momentum. If not, Nords on.

[weston]

Woo Hoo!!!

I must admit it's rather quiet here at Suncorp. (General crowd I mean, not active support).

[The Camel]

Whoever said alidovic is rocks or diamonds last week is spot on. Delightful cross then gives the ball away simply at least 5 times. No consistency. Leonardo looks fingered. Get Morts on

[leftrightout]

Ugar is all class! We have signed an absolute gem there!

[Mark325]

Nords on for Coops, Coops may have been injured cause I would've taken off Leo instead

[Hunter403]

The bus is well parked

[lquiquer]

The bus broke down.... FFS... Miller out.... ****ing tactics!!!.. Like we can protect a lead away in Brisbane for 50 minutes...!!!.. What about keeping the ball, pass pass pass keep the ball....

[plague]

here it comes

[Jetmaster]

Hold the f $_//€% ball!

[Mark325]

That last corner was the dumbest thing we've ever done

we were lucky to get anything out of that, but still happy we managed to pull a point out of it

[westjet]

Lucky result in the end. Would love to have seen cowburn shifted to the middle and leo come off rather than the straight cowburn jackson swap.

[lquiquer]

In the last second they take a short corner...........!!!???????...For **** Sake........they kidding me????......they hold the ball then.....FFS.....MILLER****ingOUT

[Footyhead]

Alidovic is shit

[plague]

still garbage to watch.

that corner bullshit at the end was Miller in a nutshell.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

alivodic is a ****in joke

[plague]

everyone is over at Alidovic asking him what the ****.

[Retro Jet]

How we were voted last over BumCorp Stadium's pitch in recent years?...geez ours must have been bad pre Asian Cup.
Surface up there is garbage! Worst pitch 2015/16 hands down.

[plague]

Milos looks like a good teammate.

[Hunter403]

In summary
Enver is pants one second then a genius the next. He shits me
Worst pitch in the league.
Leo way to unfit
Kanta gives away too many fouls

HOW CAN BROICH BE MOM WITH BIRRAZ PERFORMANCE TONIGHT? Rigged!

Cowburn improving every week.
Love the Dane.

[The Dunster]

A win and a draw against two genuine contenders for the title is very good considering the lack of money / resources at this club.

Doesn't seem right to be critical of the teams performance tonight or any individual. Considering the shit I've seen from this club over the years I thought the lads did themselves and the club proud tonight.

The real test is at home against Wellington. On current form they should be red hot favourites to roll Wellington. It will be interesting to see how they go with the pressure on rather than playing as the underdog.

[q-money]

how great is the triff, complete and utter mental case

[hawk]

That last corner was the dumbest thing we've ever done

we were lucky to get anything out of that, but still happy we managed to pull a point out of it

corners were sh1t all night get enver off them.

team did well. Cowburn showing good improvement. Triff hardly had a refs call all night and got pushed to the shithouse

most of our passes on the break are rank. no watson, hello

[baldrick]

That last corner was the dumbest thing we've ever done


Agree, it's right up there with Stubbins' sub with 5 seconds to go & then we conceded.

[Jeterpool]

Agree, it's right up there with Stubbins' sub with 5 seconds to go & then we conceded.

We were fuming at the ground too. Absolutely pointless

[q-money]

seriously though, was it a call from the gaff, or just a total brain fade?

[leftrightout]

In summary
Enver is pants one second then a genius the next. He shits me
Worst pitch in the league.
Leo way to unfit
Kanta gives away too many fouls

HOW CAN BROICH BE MOM WITH BIRRAZ PERFORMANCE TONIGHT? Rigged!

Cowburn improving every week.
Love the Dane.

Birraz deserved man of the match for sure but at least Broich was good. He was easily best on field player. Sometimes they give him man of the match when he barely touches the ball!

[MFKS]

seriously though, was it a call from the gaff, or just a total brain fade?

So we didn't lose??

Well **** me.

Tops off a good day too hear that


Plus Q Man as someone who hasn't seen the game but knows the Jets well it has to be a brain fade

That is our speciality after all

[leftrightout]

seriously though, was it a call from the gaff, or just a total brain fade?

Nah didn't come from Miller, he was yelling at someone else near half way seconds before it was taken. Just a brain fade I think.
All in all if 3 weeks ago you offered me 4 points from the last two games I would have taken it in a flash!
Now we have Phoenix and scum. We actually have a chance to sting some good results together*




*Don't worry, I know we wil f#^k it up

[MFKS]

It is imperative that Millertime delivers 3 points at Shittounge.

The season will be defined by this game if we get the win

We get 3 points and we can deliver the Gypos a trophy they deserve.

We better be fired up this day on the park as after 5-6 years of shite winning this game will provide a great deal of reward to the long suffering fans

[hawk]

It is imperative that Millertime delivers 3 points at Shittounge.


We say that every year. Lets just go there a play like piss weak fairies. Yes, this is you Jets

[Jetmaster]

Pfft...won there once in 10 years with better squads. Why should this year be different?

[plague]

Nah didn't come from Miller,


He might not have verbalised it in front of you but make no mistake that thought process on the corner comes from the way these blokes have been instructed to play all year.

So yeah, the shit at the end was 100% Miller.

[Mark325]

Pfft...won there once in 10 years with better squads. Why should this year be different?

I'd say Mariners are playing this year with their worst squad though

[De-Champ]

I'd say Mariners are playing this year with their worst squad though

They may have their worst squad, but seem to be playing better than in previous years. Well a more exciting brand at least.

[MFKS]

They may have their worst squad, but seem to be playing better than in previous years. Well a more exciting brand at least.

Hopefully if this exciting stuff sees them where they are on the table long may the joga bonito on the Coast continue

[parksey]

watching enver play these days reminds me of when antonio valencia forgot how to play football for a few years

[Mark325]

I'm honestly thinking we should start playing anyone over Enver, cause I see no way we're keeping him and while he is showing moments of brilliance, from a whole game perspective he is woeful, when he's bad he is the worst.

[Wilso8948]

I'm a massive Enver hater. But on Friday I almost found myself giving the bloke credit for the first 3/4 of the game. Some nice crosses and he worked his ass off and tracked back a few times and saved our ass. Much of it goin unnoticed. Then came the last 10 mins and reminded me how much of a dud he actually is.
Also credit to Poljak. The bloke has been woeful the previous few games and had a pretty solid game screening the back four. Worked his ass off.

[The Camel]

He might not have verbalised it in front of you but make no mistake that thought process on the corner comes from the way these blokes have been instructed to play all year.

So yeah, the shit at the end was 100% Miller.

Bullshit, that short corner was pure Alidovic horseshit. He's possibly the dumbest footballer I have ever watched

[Jeterpool]

Bullshit, that short corner was pure Alidovic horseshit. He's possibly the dumbest footballer I have ever watched

Didn't Leonardo take the corner? I remember is trotting (and even that describes someone moving quicker than he actually was) and yelling at him to hurry up because time was running out.

[plague]

Bullshit, that short corner was pure Alidovic horseshit. He's possibly the dumbest footballer I have ever watched

Hehe, aren't you one of those guys calling out keyboard warriors every chance you get?

You wouldn't say that shit if you were even in the same postcode as Alidovic.

[leftrightout]

Didn't Leonardo take the corner? I remember is trotting (and even that describes someone moving quicker than he actually was) and yelling at him to hurry up because time was running out.

My take on it was that Leonardo was going over to take it when Alidovic decided to play it short.
Could be wrong as it wasn't overly clear but that was my first thought.

[leftrightout]

And ill say it again with Alidovic... ive never seen a "professional" footballer miss kick the ball as much as he does!
He kicks the ground before the ball so many times per game its comical!

[Couscous]

He kicks the ground before the ball so many times per game its comical!

I have never laughed.

[Frodo]

And ill say it again with Alidovic... ive never seen a "professional" footballer miss kick the ball as much as he does!
He kicks the ground before the ball so many times per game its comical!

I think Petratos would be offended by this statement. Enver is pretty good but Petratos is in his own league for air-swings and mis-kicks. Even the commentators were chuckling at his big swing in the first half against us.
