[Retro Jet]

Thanks for those stats JP
But the only stat that sticks with me is the one that matters most.
That fateful Grand final day on 21st April, 2013 when the table topping Wankerers FAILED to prevent the worst outcome of all.
It was the Wanderers who let the sCCuM win. It was the Wanderers who let the rest of the A-League down.

Never forget people. Never forget....

[380]

No Rolls Royce
Lose
FTW

[lil_masi]

I want Jackson in for Boogs. He has been responsible for each goal we've conceded this season!!

true, but on the other hand wanderers are worse

[StannyCFCJET]

I want Jackson in for Boogs. He has been responsible for each goal we've conceded this season!!

Taggart second goal was Jackson's fault shit clearance and didnt close down cross leaving Boogs with 3 man in the box to mark

[white city]

As long as Nigel Boogaard is in the team i will always watch with concern when the opposition team are attacking. Im afraid boogs is a liability in defence and it needs to be realised. he came to Newcastle on the decline and has only got worse. He scored an own goal from having no awareness of his positioning and his opponent. He was caught napping numerous times when Maccarone got the ball. Whether he was instructed to not man mark he was very often not even zone marking.

fortunately for VAR he was let off from being embarrased by the goal he ball watched the whole time.

He is slow
and has lost all positional awareness.

NTS is slow aswell but he makes up for it with his read of the game.

Boogs plain and simply has none of this, and most of the times you will see him barking frustrations with others around him following his errors.

[MFKS]

3 men to mark??

He wasn't marking his man


Call a spade a spade

He has been a ****ing liability to us

Topor Georgevski and Vujica have been fantastic all 3 games

Even Duncan has been pretty anonymous

The only thing of regularity has been Boogaard getting carved up

Not saying he's not in bad form but not every goal has been his fault

[goaliepersempre]

KEEEEEENNNNNN straight of the plane sunday morning and then up to Newy :)

Friday fly out cant come soon enough

[Mark325]

We move on boogard and defensively we'd be a lot better off

I know he's more of a midfielder, but if we ain't using johnny k for anything I'd rather see him get the run at cb, I really don't understand why Ernie isn't using him right now

[plague]

5pm kickoff you say?

i should be coming up the 16th fairway at Bonville right around then, therefore will give zero ****s about this match.


legit though where is Johnny K?

Merrick OUT

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Lose.

Fold the club now.

[goaliepersempre]

is the womens game before or after?

[Jeterpool]

is the womens game before or after?

Before. 2pm kick off.

[Jetmaster]

Good to see that WSW and Adelaide kicked the shit out of each other last night. Wanderers may have one or two out this weekend.

I agree with everything you have written. Chuck Kantarovski in the liability category too.

Kanta?? Not this season so far

[380]

Kanta of old the first 15min of last week.

[Jeterpool]

Kanta of old the first 15min of last week.

But he corrected it.

[Nou Camp]

I didn't get to see much of preseason
Were other combinations tested at CB?

Patrick Langlois got quite a decent run. Jackson was involved with the Under 23's (I think??) with Clut and Cowburn.

[goaliepersempre]

Before. 2pm kick off.

cheers many heading to the game earlier then?

Need to see how it goes re coming from the Airport.

[Jetmaster]

Poor Kanta - improved leaps and bounds but some are waiting for the merest slip up to dump on him BK style - well he is BK2.

Spent the first half constantly turning the ball over

For a bloke in his position turning the ball over is a no no

You can't have your DM coughing it up more than 1-2 times a game total.

He is in the wrong part of the park to be getting caught in possession or giving it away cheaply

Most of the DMs passes are also simple so there is less excuse to **** them up

A good DM rarely coughs it up or gets caught in possession

Kanta on the other hand still hasn't cottoned onto this concept

1st half i thought Ugabooga was pretty similar.

he was making some really intelligent runs though and looked to be (instructed) to get forward.
maybe its just taking him time to adjust from the sideways/backwards garbage he had droned into him from your boy Jonesy.

That be GVE

He started the whole sideways backwards retain posession until it is back to the keeper who boots it away into touch shit

Kanta had 10 years of training at it

[plague]

That be GVE


you pass the buck better than Kanta passes the ball ATM.

[furns]

Before. 2pm kick off.
Gates open 2pm, W-League kickoff 230pm

[The Dunster]

With Vargas out and no free tickets like last home game I wonder what size crowd shows up ? I'd like to think they can get over 12k still.

[BodyNovo]

wanderers will bring up 1-2k so id expect that to be easily achieved.

Very true

[lil_masi]

Trackwork which should affect their traveling crowd

Prison visitation day being a Sunday also affects their travelling crowd

[380]

All heading to Goulburn Max eh ?

[Nou Camp]

Poor Kanta - improved leaps and bounds but some are waiting for the merest slip up to dump on him BK style - well he is BK2.

agreed
he got a point in the alex tobin awards against roar
saw him in various peoples a league team of the weeks for the first 2 rounds

if people offered you that from him at the start of the season everyone wouldve grabbed it with both hands

[hawk]

Who ever takes out SantaScab will be my hero. Supporters included

[turbojetfireV8]

I'll be happy if we don't have to see Riera's tongue during the match - just makes ya wanna slap him till he's unconscious (preferably with a cricket bat...)

[goaliepersempre]

Fly out day :) until sunday :)

[belchardo]

any burning buildings in newy yet?

and i'm not talking about the RBB, i'm talking about goaliepersempre!

[MFKS]

Chris Beath is a ****

How the **** is this bloke still reffing ??

Why in ****sname do we put up with having this clown ref us??

[MFKS]

Vargas
Georgevski


Just need to lose Roy and Dimi and we now back to the same shit ****s we had last season

[belchardo]

shiiiiiit. is that a second bus wheel i see rolling off into the distance?

[The Dunster]

shiiiiiit. is that a second bus wheel i see rolling off into the distance?

Looks that way unfortunately.

[MFKS]

These ****s ever going to keep a clean sheet??

[belchardo]

pants. terrible defending.

[The Dunster]

3 wanderers unmarked at the top of the 18 yard box ffs

[MFKS]

Get the white flag up


****ing disgrace

Have a go you ****s

[belchardo]

3 wanderers unmarked at the top of the 18 yard box ffs

i liked the two wanderers players near the penalty spot pushing and shoving each other with the nearest jets player 2m away.

[belchardo]

so flat. midfield is almost non-existent.

[MFKS]

so flat. midfield is almost non-existent.

How good is Kanta
How good is Ugarkovic
How good is Brown

All weak links

[belchardo]

why did the VAR look at the Herd/Nabbout challenge? ref was 3m away with a clear line of sight.

[The Dunster]

Anyone got change for a five dollar note so we can pay out Browns contract?

[The Dunster]

Bery ripping Uga a new one

[belchardo]

we look pretty good when vujica gets the ball and runs it down the left.

[Hunter403]

Our midfield is directionless. Anything we are creating is coming down the left. Brown look lost along sodw Dimi. Kanta is just kicking people.

[StannyCFCJET]

Why the **** is Brown playing on the wing. Bring on Champness at halftime

[belchardo]

Our midfield is directionless. Anything we are creating is coming down the left. Brown look lost along sodw Dimi. Kanta is just kicking people.

did you just copy and paste a comment from last year? :rof:

[Hunter403]

did you just copy and paste a comment from last year? :rof:

Seems familiar, doesn't it?

[StannyCFCJET]

Time for our bench to step up or Merrick to change formation or where ****ed

[MFKS]

I going to offer some positive feedback today

Boogaard is playing well today
He definitely one of the best on the park for us

Bloke going well


As for the rest of the ****s Vujica and Duncan aside

Have a ****ing go you weak ****s

[lquiquer]

Dont jinx great leader

[Hunter403]

Hey Member, you been at the booze again or has someone hacked your account?

[Nou Camp]

No Vargas no party

[MFKS]

Hey Member, you been at the booze again or has someone hacked your account?

Nope

Only had 1 beer in the last 80 days

That was after 5-1 in Gosford

It hard to bag Boogaard today when there easily 8 more useless ****s on the park

[Hunter403]

Nope

Fair call.

[Couscous]

I am not enjoying this game.

[furns]

lethargic yes, but there is another 45 minutes ffs

[Hunter403]

Let's get Ugar to 10. Dimi wide and fill in the rest from there. No one getting the ball to Roy and I reckon Ugar the most likely to do it

[monz6]

I going to offer some positive feedback today

Boogaard is playing well today
He definitely one of the best on the park for us

Bloke going well


As for the rest of the ****s Vujica and Duncan aside

Have a ****ing go you weak ****s

I reckon Nabbout is having a go, but he's just genuinely a bad player

[Couscous]

Brown is just shy of Vargas quality.

[MFKS]

Gee we look pants defending corners

Topor
Boogaard
Hoffman

There some tall timber there but we look like a team full of 5ft 3 Asians marking Timmy Cahill

[Hunter403]

Brown is just shy of Vargas quality.

I assume you mean the version of Vargas that's on crutches?

[MFKS]

I assume you mean the version of Vargas that's on crutches?

Vargas on crutches should start next week

He still be better than Brown Kanta and Ugarkovic

[Hunter403]

Roly coming on. Let's hope he is off today

[belchardo]

we're just not on today.

[MFKS]

Linesman just robbed Maccas and FoxSports of a VAR opportunity

[belchardo]

good challenge topor. that's ballsy.

and dumb by herd.

[Hunter403]

Nice hit!

[belchardo]

hahahaha, nice work topor, giving him a couple of pats to the head on the way off. :rof:

[The Dunster]

Merrick to NTS "sweep the leg!!"

[belchardo]

hell yeah!

nice team goal.

[Hunter403]

Nice one!

[belchardo]

i love champness

[Hunter403]

Who hit the original shot?

[StannyCFCJET]

Who hit the original shot?

Roy

[The Dunster]

As soon as Brown comes off we get the ball forward and look threatening

[Hunter403]

Damn good strike across his body

[belchardo]

their left back can barely run, surely every attack should be down that wing!

[MFKS]

Where the **** was this effort for the first 70 ****ing mins ??

[belchardo]

this is a far better second half. more lively, more crisp passing, better movement.

[belchardo]

roly really is a dog player.

[MFKS]

Jason Hoffman

Jason Hoffman

Down the wing

He has lost the ball

[MFKS]

**** this **** with the whistle today

How many weak soft free kicks does he give to both teams

Pathetic really

[belchardo]

champness should be starting over brown next week. i hope ernie agrees. so much better when he came on.

[monz6]

Not result related - Speedy commented on how out refs are some sort of world leaders of allocating correct extra time, yet the whole first minute of extra time was not played due to a free kick and how slow it took to be kicked. Great we can allocate the correct extra time minutes, but a shame we don't play it

[The Dunster]

More evidence that Wayne Brown needs to go 1st opportunity the club gets to move him on. 2nd half was a big improvement. Thought Boogs did well today.

[MFKS]

High time we were the beneficiaries of some highway robbery for a change

1 point really stolen

[Hunter403]

Champness was excellent

[The Dunster]

WSW didn't do enough with their posession and didn't create many opportunities. Draw a fair result.

[MFKS]

WSW didn't do enough with their posession and didn't create many opportunities. Draw a fair result.

Agree they didn't do enough with their dominance

Our effort in the first 70 mins though was so substandard and lethargic we deserved to been left in the dark

The goal came out of nothing and we didn't deserve it

The last 20 mins of bustle doesn't excuse what was a pretty tepid and uninspiring performance overall

That though a game we would have lost in recent years so good to see we got something out of it

[belchardo]

i was thinking about friday night when a 4 minute VAR result, plus two injuries, only resulted in 3 minutes additional time. :sigh:

[StannyCFCJET]

Brown is trash agreed but why play him on the wing. That ****up is on Bernie Skerrick

[monz6]

Brown is trash agreed but why play him on the wing. That ****up is on Bernie Skerrick

Ease up.. bloke is not trash at all. Not one of our best at the moment. Not as effective as he should be. And certainly needs to step up and play better. But there's no way the word trash describes him.

[lquiquer]

Champness was excellent

He changed the game... (with a little bit of help from WSW 2 defensive midfield coming off)...but the kid is a real talent... I love what I see...

[lquiquer]

**** this **** with the whistle today

How many weak soft free kicks does he give to both teams

Pathetic really

Maybe he gets paid per blow j@b

[StannyCFCJET]

Ease up.. bloke is not trash at all. Not one of our best at the moment. Not as effective as he should be. And certainly needs to step up and play better. But there's no way the word trash describes him.

He takes up a foreigner spot and offers nothing to warrant that and has done nothing since his contract extension ergo trash

[lquiquer]

Jason Hoffman

Jason Hoffman

Down the wing

He has lost the ball

He started very poor but was decent in second half ...

[plague]

‘allo boyz

[Jetmaster]

Two things killing games here.VAR and over officiating. The whistle seemed to go every 30 seconds and was very frustrating for all.
Much of it was petty.

[MFKS]

Totally agree

Same with his cards he issued

3-4 of them really were a joke and unnecessary and that was against both sides

Free kicks were giving softly and needlessly to both sides when he should have just let it run

Just Beath being his usual **** like self and ****ing a game up

[turbojetfireV8]

on a brighter note, despite getting next to zero service, how good is it to see Roy follow everything up, looking for the slightest sniff of the ball, just itching for a tap in, such a joy to finally have a striker who does that :wub:

[belchardo]

might be a question for jeterpool, but are we getting more penalties awarded this season than any other season? seems to be about 1 a game at the moment.

[StannyCFCJET]

Did anyone see Merrick give Stevie U a massive spray during the first half?

[Mark325]

i think we need to avoid using brown as much as possible, we looked a lot better when he came off

What were people's thoughts on shabow? He didn't play long but I thought he looked okay for the short time he got

[Jeterpool]

i think we need to avoid using brown as much as possible, we looked a lot better when he came off

What were people's thoughts on shabow? He didn't play long but I thought he looked okay for the short time he got

He looked energetic, sharp and promising. Very positive in his play

[turbojetfireV8]

although he was sound at the back (bar whatever that foot tangle was about early on in front of the RBB), some of NTS' clearances in front of the West Shitney Gyppos' goalmouth made me wonder who he was playing for, he definitely didn't give any indication he wanted to score against those khunts with some of those efforts...

[Jeterpool]

Having a look over the stats yesterday, Nabbout's defensive numbers were impressive.

he was our top tackler, by far won the most duels and lead the interceptions as well.

[Wilso8948]

Although we came into our own in the last half hour, I think it had a lot to do with WSW losing Baccus and Herd.

[pv4]

Although we came into our own in the last half hour, I think it had a lot to do with WSW losing Baccus and Herd.

Yep, my thoughts too. WSW had Aspro & Roly as their holding mids - neither of which are holding mids!

Anyone else note our kickoff tactic - NTS & Boogs behind a line of 8 blokes set on the halfway line.

[MFKS]

Although we came into our own in the last half hour, I think it had a lot to do with WSW losing Baccus and Herd.

I think it had a lot to do with a couple of things

You never ever dominate the game 100% and your rival is always going to have a spell on top

I think the goal obviously lifted the Jets

I think the fatigue of 3 games in 8 days started to catch up with WSW also

I think the left back was either injured or busted also gave us a good option to exploit in the final 25 mins also

The removal of Brown seemed to help us. Can't say we have looked good really with him on the park all season really. His introduction has usually coincided with Vargas going off and our attack has got noticeably almost non existent afterwards

Add in the loss of their CMs that helped too

Many reasons why

[lil_masi]

Nabbout has not had a decent shot on goal all season!! Needs to work hard on his shooting this week

[Jeterpool]

Nabbout has not had a decent shot on goal all season!! Needs to work hard on his shooting this week

He did have one good shot, but it was chalked off because he was offside.

[sammydog]

He did have one good shot, but it was chalked off because he was offside.

Ive not seen the replay, how far offside was he? Looked tight from my vantage point at the ground.

[leftrightout]

Ive not seen the replay, how far offside was he? Looked tight from my vantage point at the ground.

Yeah he is definitely offside, he just ran too early.
We really nice work by Roy in the lead up though!

From my vantage point of Bay 60 I thought he was onside.

Geez you sound like the drunken Knights yobs on the southern hill who used to constantly yell "get em onside" when the game was up the other end.

I can't believe the ****s didn't take the opportunity to plug Maccas and use the ****ing VAR

Get their stats up with it being accurate

For those unsure, Bay 60 is at the complete opposite corner to wher ethe event occurred, hence my viewing of the event may be compromised.

But he was still on and I refuse to watch a replay.

I was in Bay 50 as I went looking to sit in the shade and hoping to get lucky and sit in Jetmasters seats

From where I was it was a goal too

Pleasantly surprised to find only members sitting in our bay with security chick telling shade seeking Wanderers to piss orf.

Bout time.

Not result related - Speedy commented on how out refs are some sort of world leaders of allocating correct extra time, yet the whole first minute of extra time was not played due to a free kick and how slow it took to be kicked. Great we can allocate the correct extra time minutes, but a shame we don't play it

He typically didn't follow up with any detailed info as to how we were getting it right and no other country does. Anyone know any more about this? It's not like the EPL just throw up 3 mins every match by default.

Merrick saying Brown did a good job?? Ummm what? Also If he is a defensive player as Merrick says why have him in an attacking position with the attacking style we want to play

Don't know what you worried about

He just another one of Millertime shit signings

Least Jones signed blokes like Georgevski OurCaravan and Dimi when given a chance to sign non SA NPL players

Jones may have signed them but thank **** he isnt in charge of them

Miller signed him for 1 season. Jones extended the contract by 2 years based on 1 or 2 games

[Wilso8948]

He's plugging a hole for the moment and playing out of position. If its the worst problem we have then it isn't too bad

[380]

I thought Brown had his contract extended after only making a handful of appearances. That would make him Miller's initial signing and the extension under Miller.

Could be wrong however ageing memory and all.

I reckon he would be on decent coin and honestly he is not contributing enough to be using up a visa spot.

Cheers for that. Sorry Member but your pal Jones got this one wrong. Brown is useless.

He has high workrate defensively and thats it doesn't suit Merrick's style of play

I will pay that the bloke shouldn't have been resigned but I holding the GypoCEO accountable on that

You think Mckinna didn't ask the opinion of his good mate Jones who saw Brown everyday at traning etc

No I blaming the experienced campaigner in the Gypo for not telling his rookie coach to slow down on the move as one swallow doesn't make a summer etc

McKinna been around the traps to know patience and wait and see was needed not a knee jerk reaction which was the case with signing Brown for a couple more years based on a couple of goals

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

And Griffiths?

I think the frustration stems for the fact that Brown's comments suggest he was signed as a #10 and as such not playing out of position (just not very good at that role). I certainly don't mind Brown in a defensive midfield role.

so McKinna shoulda undermined Jones by telling him he has no confidence in his judgment and not give him any input into decisions relating to the team?? gee, I wish McKinna hadda done that last season and maybe it wouldn't have turned into such a trainwreck...

[MFKS]

And Griffiths?

Griff is God

He does no wrong

Saying anything otherwise is straight up blasphemy

He helped resign Brown so because Membas word is Law, resigning brown is now a good move
