Sorry everyone, no match facts. Haven't had the time this week while running the pod and last week of work.

be careful of the Red aids

[plague]

Gombau got them playing tiki taka.
They’ll pass us to death.
Boogaard gonna ruin another Christmas.

5-1 to WSW.

[Jetmaster]

Need at least two goals as Bridge will score his customary...

[Couscous]

In some ways, this game is an interesting hypothetical that can finally be tested in reality: how well would the Jets play against a GVE-coached side?

No way we'll win against Gombau-ball.

Probably clean up as GVE is a predictable coach with no game plan of note besides shifting the ball across the park side to side

Pretty easy to exploit that why he failed constantly as a coach

[halo se7en]

We need 3. Nichols will probably score one as well... despite not even playing for them.

[380]

This kids ticket offer seems to be kicking off as a disaster ( of Ticketmaster creation not Jets ). Seems Ticketmaster will only proceed with ticket request if a full paying adult ticket is purchased at the same time. If a parent is on a concession or tries to proceed with purchase as a Jets member offer as promoted by Jets tweet Ticketmaster deny the request.

If i am doing this incorrectly i a more than happy to be shown the light, my daughter is pretty keen on going Fri night.

[Jeterpool]

When he's playing for Perth? I'm rocking up just to see this happen.

can't forget santalab. so we're up to needing 4 now.

[halo se7en]

can't forget santalab. so we're up to needing 4 now.

5 now. Don't forget the rookie who hasn't grabbed his first goal yet. Nabbout needs to score 6 just so we can win.

[pv4]

The dude put in a full preseason so I wouldn't put anything past him tbh.

[MFKS]

7 now

Don't forget VAR owes us a level up for being beneficiary last week that makes 6

Don't forget Boogaard is due to cost us a goal per game
Well he does every other week

So that 7 we going to need just to get a point

[The Dunster]

Jets $2.20
WSW $3.00
Draw $3.50.

Looks like that $6000 guitar I'm looking to buy just dropped in price to $2000.

Safe to say we can all put our houses on +2.5 goals then :lol: money in the bank!

[Jeterpool]

That's brilliant

[Hunter403]

Friday night game = no travelling RBB.

[Hunter403]

Certainly started with intent. Great goal Johhny K. Smart work Nabbout!

[MFKS]

Boogaard already given away needless fouls

[MFKS]

Sometimes I wonder how we be going if we had no injuries
Ronny was fit and firing
Roy was banging them in up front

**** it be scary watching us in attack

[Hunter403]

What's whiter than a wanderer shirt? An RBB gut!

[The Dunster]

Johnny K scored goal then takes out oppositions star player.

wankerers not in top 2 they eat sausage

[The Dunster]

We deserve to be three goals in front.

[Hunter403]

We deserve to be three goals in front.

Try 6! We need another badly

[Retro Jet]

We deserve to be three goals in front.

We would be if Nabbout could shoot.
Hamill obviously can't for them lol

[Hunter403]

Petratos on fire. His 1v1 stuff is brilliant

[halo se7en]

This is the difference between Nabbout & someone like Roy. Nabbout gets his goals but does botch a lot that a natural striker would gobble up

[Jetmaster]

Melbourne City game 2.0...could be a different second half and we will regret not putting this away. Not happy with this despite the nice build up.

[MFKS]

We still have the inevitable Boogaard lapse to come

But we actually playing well

I hope Joey C is left on by Bert for the full 90

The Red Aids backline is slow

Feel there is chance to exploit their lack of speed as the game drags on

[hawk]

Bonevacia is a turd

[StannyCFCJET]

A very big turd

We will lose this wont we. i dont know how but just see

[Hunter403]

61 min in and two RBB are being escorted from the ground. Normal service has been resumed

[Retro Jet]

Gord the RBB are a fat ugly lot...

[MFKS]

Stanny

That shit marking was from Boogaard if you didn't notice to allow Riera the free shit he put wide needlessly

You reckon he better than Mullen??

I not thinking so

He wasn't even close too him

[MFKS]

****ing party time now

Kanta and Hoffman on the scoresheet

Long odds on that

Plague you get a piece of that ??

[Retro Jet]

That's it...we're gonna win the league.

[Hunter403]

Oh Lord Griff,
In thy widom and with righteous wrath, give us 5 for Griffmas!

[plague]

Every time I see Kanta happy I am happy too.

Just a good dude, he deserves all of it.

[plague]

Haha what sort of degenerate you think I am?

No one picking that.

Although I played 2 man Ambrose today with a partner off 36.

Took everyone’s money.
What a day.

[Retro Jet]

It's sooooo painful for Slater to give us any sort of credit.

[Hunter403]

Can't pick a weak player tonight. MoM will be difficult

[Retro Jet]

Bridge. Weak. Ankles. No. Heart.

[hawk]

Kapow shabow, offside though

[Retro Jet]

About time we put this sh!te to the sword.
This season is the foundations of a great team and they need to be bound together
for many years to come. Make it happen Lee Ma Tain...

[plague]

Attn: Member (and assorted h8rs):

Remember when i said the Ugabooga man was national team material?

so tell me right now, on form, whos better, our boy or that bearded gypo shitkhunt?

ill hang up and listen.

[The Dunster]

I have always thought the season two jets played the best football for the club. Not any more. This current group is the best now. They win games and play the most exciting football in the league.

I take it you talking about Jedinak not Beard??

As far as I concerned Beard should be in the Socceroos side

Sugar is going alright at the moment but the bloke isn't going anywhere near as good as Kanta is though

To be fair Sugar is actually the worst performing central mid we have as Dimi and Kanta are doing better than him

So he still not close to Socceroos material

Though he obviously better than Gypo Jedinak

[plague]

So he still not close to Socceroos material

Though he obviously better than Gypo Jedinak

Still not close to Socceroos material even though hes better than the bloke that plays for the socceroos?
this is fast approaching Tarek Elrich levels of wrongness Member, buckle up son.

and yes id have Ugabooga and Brilliante in the national team, in a heartbeat. no one better at the moment.

underrated how amazing Johnny K was tonight, out of position again, keeping the wanderers only outlet anonymous.
pony tail dude, although dashingly handsome, was a non factor.


big ups to Ernie for the team setup. had them backpeddling from the start.

why put a striker in the centre mid conversation?

[Mark325]

Don't know if it was just due to wsw being so shit but we got dimi way more into the game this week and it paid dividends

[MFKS]

why put a striker in the centre mid conversation?

Well he ain't a right back and if Bert not going to play him in the centre just to **** off Boogaard then we going to need to start pushing him up the park somewhere

[halo se7en]

Don't know if it was just due to wsw being so shit but we got dimi way more into the game this week and it paid dividends

I think everyone was else was switched on so they couldn’t afford to double him out of the game & leave anyone else open.

[MFKS]

Don't know if it was just due to wsw being so shit but we got dimi way more into the game this week and it paid dividends

We play either one of two ways

In a complete slumber
On Fire

There seems to be no inbetween with us though we getting wins when we play shit. Go figure

Tonight it was on fire from minute one. Hopefully the next on fire performance is being saved for January 9th and the European Gypsy Scum

[halo se7en]

Every time I see Kanta happy I am happy too.

Just a good dude, he deserves all of it.

Everything you need to know about the squad’s morale was summed up in Kanta’s goal celebration. Even the subs jumped the fence to join in.

[Mark325]

Only dissapointing part of tonight was a pretty weak turn out, definitely dissapointing to get less then 10k through the doors

[turbojetfireV8]

Too close to Christmas, everyone I know at work who normally goes told me they either had a party on or were heading off for their hols

[Retro Jet]

Another couple of positives were no VAR and we didn't have to endure Oreo Rear-Ender's
stupid tongue celebration. And that rubbish beat the sCCuM 2-0 too.
I'll be watching the Derby tomorrow night with bated breath.

I wouldn't say ruthless

Nabbout should have had how many last night??

I thought we should have put more on them than 4 such was the disparity between the two sides performance

The Jets set a new 10-game club record last night,. They've earned 22 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 games. This beat the old mark of 21, which we achieved a few times.

Also it's the first time since the days of Taggz we have won 3 in a row.

[Jetmaster]

Well done active support btw. Enjoyed the banter with Griff and his 12 disciples pregame. First time I couldn't hear RBB at one of our games...of course Fux went on about the noise the travelling support were making.
As for the game...entertaining though I wouldn't say perfect. Would like to see us take more if our chances earlier.
That could have been double figures last night...geez, haven't expectations changed.

[Tommyjet]

Just think, another win with no imports on the park except brown at the end. Wankerers had all 5 out there.

That no 10 of theirs would have to be the biggest non entity ever

He looks good on the eye but there is absolutely no end product out of him at all

You see some lovely touches from him on half way but nothing in the final 3rd at all

Matter of fact as the night wore on everytime he touched it in the final 3rd I was as relaxed as you are when Jumpei is in on goal

[au revoir]

I liked that we won.

[q-money]

was phenomenal to watch on the telly, they were at them from the opening whistle and didn't let up. the foot never came off the throat.

surely we are getting a visit from ASADA shortly.

I never thought I'd see these types of scenes again. Wonderful stuff from the active support as well - They were loud and proud all game.

[plague]

Largz Boyz scarves got 3 Johnny Warren points.

[Mark325]

Active support needs to stay like that for the rest of the season, we finally have a team worth actually putting in effort for and I reckon they deserve to have a good group of dudes supporting them and givin it a go

Am I the only one who thinks it's gone be rough, based on our current formation that when everyone is fit and healthy, and assuming Rodriguez is as good as we think he'll be that nabbout will be more then likely shafted to the bench

I also feel bad for johnny k who is playing amazing football right now and not even in his preferred position, but once georgevski is healthy there isn't much space for him. It's just crazy that this team on paper lacks depth but all the players are rising to the occasion and putting on good performances

no way Nabbout gets benched. he takes Joey/Hoffs place and they set the team up to suit.

agree with Johnny K. the weird thing is that prior to start of the year he was right there to get a spot if Kanta didnt pay well, or if Kanta got moved to CB.
far from it, Kanta has been consistently great and even poor Johnny K has to acknowledge hes not played well enough to kick Kanta out.

also not a bad thing for Kanta knowing such a good player wants his spot.

even the Jackson love fest amongst the coaches has barely raised its head.

Moss has been fantastic, which although we have had 2 'good' keepers for a while, they have generally being chewing up loads of cap space. now we have 2 good ones costing bugger all.

Ernie has it easy, dont let anyone try to tell you that having so many good players is a bad thing.

I'm confused how that would work though

Roy would go up top at striker, vargas slots back into cam, if rodriguez is as good as vargas he gets the wing slot and then you have to toss up between dimi and nabbout getting that last wing spot. But, because vargas and roy are coming back from injury we might be bringing them off the bench for the time being to ease them in

It's crazy with this team, before the start of the season I was very skeptical about re-signing kanta and didn't think we were taking this season seriously, but god damn he's just killed it all season. I more just feel bad for all the good players we have signed on that can't get game time but deserve it.

This ain't a console game

You don't just sub players on for the sake of it

You want these blokes throughout the squad busting their arse when they get on the park by not giving away cheap game time

Whilst ever we winning you see these subs are busting their ****s out there to impress because they want in on the fun

How you keep them that way is starve them of game time

Not hand it out for free like your suggesting

We have injuries no harm in giving guys like Dimi and Nabbout extra rest when games are already won with 20 to go

[plague]

i dig that blokes can have a rest but FFS lets not have any make a wish runs.

blokes gotta earn it.

What a absolutely great night of football. A team playing championship winning stuff, entertaining as all hell and clearly there is real camaraderie among this lot.

Not withstanding the display on the park i would like to give a huge shout out and congrats to those in the active support last night. Wow talk about adding to the atmosphere, every single one of those who contributed to that performance take a bow. Just like old times it was and you all made it a most enjoyable evening for the rest of us attending.

The real losers last night apart from the cluster that is WSW was those who have not stuck solid this season. They are the ones missing out on some of the best football being played of any club this season. This team deserves to be playing in front of at least 15k every home game.

Once again well done to all those actives last night and have a great Chrissy.

The real losers last night apart from the cluster that is WSW was those who have not stuck solid this season. They are the ones missing out on some of the best football being played of any club this season. This team deserves to be playing in front of at least 15k every home game.

Once again well done to all those actives last night and have a great Chrissy.

Well said, I agree with the lot.

my moment of the night was the sheer joy on kanta's face when he scored. dude was over the moon (and a little surprised too!), clearly the rest of the players were too.

This ain't a console game

You don't just sub players on for the sake of it

You want these blokes throughout the squad busting their arse when they get on the park by not giving away cheap game time

Whilst ever we winning you see these subs are busting their ****s out there to impress because they want in on the fun

How you keep them that way is starve them of game time

Not hand it out for free like your suggesting

Subbing fringe/bench players on with the game comfortably won is a better
Option than throwing them on with the game in the balance having not played any minutes for 5 weeks.

I don’t disagree but remember at least 3 blokes in our starting lineup are really just bench players once the troops get over their injuries anyway. They need the minutes too for the run home.

If you haven't seen it already, the amount of salt on the WSW foz is absolutely loltastic

Ffs you'd think these blokes hadn't ever followed a football club before......... :grin:

I had a read of the following on WSW Foz :


This was a pathetic, heartless, inept display by a band of players many of whom look like they'd rather be sitting at home than getting paid to be professional footballers. Playing badly is one thing. Not making even a token effort is another. Those who don't want to put in that effort don't deserve to wear the shirt. Too often in modern football it's the coach who gets hung out to dry by the media, and we can already see many high profile journalists taking shots at Gombau and wondering "how long until Gombau is sacked".

Gombau right now isn't the problem.



And fans also seem to be appreciative of Mark Bridge as well:


I thought Bridge was absolutely shyte on the pitch tonight. He's gone so far backwards. And his interview should earn him some time training alone.

I started to read a few pages for the lutz...as is my want with opposition forums
after a Jets loss.
:brrr:

TL;DR past first 2 pages BUT...I cut to the chase and stumbled on Furns' post Page 10.
Well in Furns for putting a few facts to them.

[Hunter403]

Love their tales of combat. Absolute fantasy. I've seen numerous WSW fans expelled mid game and even had a laugh as the took on each other in our car park. Can't say I have ever seen our "firms" take them on. Not worth the hassle

leaving the southern gate a Wankerers theres always youth running in starting sh*t with older turds standing behind the cars having some soggy sao time.

Luckily Vandeburg can run fast and hide behind his camera for some evo.. lulz

I'm usually a fan of making subs early enough for an impact, and resting key players once a game is in cruise control is usually a good idea too.

However I was completely happy with the subs last Friday. Everyone out there was still buzzing and killing it, everyone performing extremely well. No reason for anyone to come off, and when they did come off late in the game, those players received the ovation they deserved for a stellar performance.
