I'd be pretty shocked if Sydney didn't make it through to the GF anyway - although its possible.

FFA have absolutely no grounds to move the final if we win tomorrow night and sydney lose.

10,000 tickets sold for the "biggest rivalrly in football". ****ing pathetic.

They wont. The article states something about the GF being held in Newcastle, Sydney or Melbourne but that is what the FFA booked a few weeks ago when it became apparent that they were the only 3 places it could be held. If we loose and Sydney loose then it will be in Melbourne. If Sydney win it will be in Sydney, if we win and Sydney loose it will be in Newcastle. FFA have already stated that and I can't see them going back on it.

I agree. They held a Grand Final in Adelaide. Our ground holds more people than Hindmarsh. Like you said there's no reason why it won't be.

Grand Final in Adelaide was at the Oval, not Hindmarsh. We dont have a larger alternative venue.

Stop bringing facts into this Furns. It's making my argument look bad FFS.

[scarfy96]

Grand Final in Adelaide was at the Oval, not Hindmarsh. We dont have a larger alternative venue.

With a capacity of 33,000+ we don't need a larger alternative. AAMI park has a slightly lower capacity, and that is what is booked as the Melbourne option. So they wont move it for that. Hindmarsh only holds 16,000, no comparison.

Given that we're almost at capacity for tonight one would surmise that it would be in their best interests to make sure the GF goes the correct way this weekend.

Shame Smurfs don't play first - if they qualify best case scenario is us getting through and travelling down by the thousands. Plenty of room still in the away bay tonight so can't imagine many City fans will travel to the GF.

Melbourne derby on the other hand...

And how about this...Ronny's brother Roddy dropping the truth bombs on Sydney.

The former Victory defender also believes that Sydney FC’s midfield destroyers Brandon O’Neill and Josh Brillante are cut too much A-League slack, claiming Asian Champions League referees have taken a more hard-line stance.

Dear Jets Club:
If you don't make a genuine effort to include Con in the grand final plans for the club his week you can all go get ****ed.


Just remember, all of your great work this season still pales into insignificance compared to what that bloke has done.

No one is saying hes perfect, but neither are any of you assholes.

Yeah top point.
I'm for as many old school people to be included as well.

But it's got to start with Con.

Also, Remo on the twitterbook last night obviously watching the game.
Proper newyboy that fella.

[Jetmaster]

It's a fantastic idea. Con is a very proud man and I wouldn't be surprised if he said no but it is well worth the club making the gesture.

What about Tinks?:lol:

It's easy to trot out Andy Roberts and Cheryl Salisbury and pretend everything is perfect. But shining a light on some of our hiccups and giving the city a chance to revisit (with hindsight) may bring everyone back into the fold for the greater good.

And I also don't think a gypo who's been here 2 minutes should be deciding how 'we' celebrate the clubs a achievement.

Just to be clear....

Tinks is an evil fat grubby league cvnt whose past has been expunged from any record or any part of football history.

No cvnt will ever speak of his name in any postive light ever again.

I can see why he was trying to write a feel good story about both teams, but seriously let the Jets have their own moment in the sun. The Knoughts are doing alright but hardly setting the world on fire - they’ve been absolutely belted 3 times already in 8 games and there’s a long way to go.

I agree re: Merrick. Arnie hasn’t done anything special this year except keep their team ticking over from last, and having the luck of not having to change his XI very often. Ernie has overcome a wooden spoon team plus setback after setback after setback to continuously keep us up the top.

Adrian will get POTY. Would love to see Champness beat Arzani to YPOTY but canÂ’t see it. Joey has notched 5 goals & 2 assists and been reasonably consistent, also assisting the goal that beat City. Arzani’s had a good run from mid-season on but the end product isn’t there, 2 goals (1 pen) and 3 assists. Arzani will probs win it just because.

GOTY is easily McGree. No question. The fact itÂ’s so fresh too will help but when enough people call it best goal in a-league history, it’s hard to see it being outdone by Nabbout’s, as awesome as his strike was.

[Jeterpool]

Yeah, I posted them with a touch of disdain, don't recall any time Knytes were doing well that the journos gave two hoots about giving the Jets a freebie mention too, even after the last championship, seems to be an insecurity peculiar to pro Knytes knobs

We don't have a lot of options centrally. Squad space is the issue from our end. His desire to play more than a back up could be barrier at his end.

Hoff stays upfield.
Johnny K gets more game time.
Ivan can plug holes.


Roy can have a few games off next year we still good.

I don't think you can classify Joey as a back up striker. Being an attacking player who can score goals doesn't make you a striker.

We absolutely need a good young striker. But we shouldn't be looking for a back up, we should be looking for someone to fight Roy for a position.

[Jetmaster]

[plague]

We absolutely need a good young striker. But we shouldn't be looking for a back up, we should be looking for someone to fight Roy for a position.

An argument can be made that Nabbout was just as effective up front this year as Roy was.

Wasting spots and cash on benchwarmers in case of a Roy injury/suspension takes us back to the BK/Biraz days.

Ernie ain't playing that game.

[Macca]

I tend to agree with LRO.. I think Nabbout did a fine job up front, and he did pick up the role well. I think when Joey has played up front he has really struggled, and with Nabbout gone I would definitely be up for having another player capable of stepping into Roy's shoes if needs be. Whether that's a backup striker or a winger who can play up top as well.

[Jeterpool]

Never leave your team! I remember sitting there on a hot Sunday afternoon probably 6 years ago watching us lose to Perth Glory 4-0 and the crowd was maybe 4,000.

I have thought it many times over the year “why do I do this?” answer is always the same. I love this team and what else would I be doing?
After 13 years as a member and 10 or so lean ones, I cannot explain this feeling! I’m not nervous yet as I still don’t quite believe it!

[Mark325]

with only two roster spots left, getting a back-up striker is really dependent I feel on how you fill up the other attacking roles. Assuming we don't keep ronny and pato on, you've got Dimi & Roy as our two consistent starters in the front third. If you feel one of Hoff or Champness are capable of being starting XI from the jump, then you fill the other spot with a marquee and get a back-up striker who can fill in for roy. However, if you don't view them as starters and feel we need two more spots in the front, then you sign two starting wingers, maybe one of them can be a back-up striker if need me similar to nabbs, or you let one of hoff or champness try and be a striker

[leftrightout]

An argument can be made that Nabbout was just as effective up front this year as Roy was.

And that arguement would be pretty successful but if im not mistaken Nabbout now plays in Japan and Champness is not Nabbout?

[plague]

I tend to think of my relationship with the Jets as 'friends with benefits'.

When I'm in the mood for some, I give them a call and come over.
If they are having 'that time of the season' then forget it, I've got better things to do.

Last Friday night was an awesome booty call.

[plague]

And that arguement would be pretty successful but if im not mistaken Nabbout now plays in Japan and Champness is not Nabbout?

Yeah but Nabbout wasnt Roy either and things worked out ok.

Does the club believe in that Thurgate dude?
Never really seen him play, he might be all we need yeah?

[leftrightout]

Yeah but Nabbout wasnt Roy either and things worked out ok.


Im confused!
All i meant was being an attacking player doesnt make you a striker. Some guys can play wide and as a 9. Nabbout was excellent as both and thats a luxury. Champness doesnt seem as good centrally and so we do lack depth in there

[plague]

Im confused!


Joey became the new Nabbout when Nabbout became the new Roy who then became the new Nabbout making Nabbout the new Joey forcing Joey to become the new Hoffman who became the new Pato until Roy became the new Nabbout (who was the old Roy) pushing Nabbout back to being the new Joey who then became the new Nabbout (when he left for Japan) who can then become the new Roy unless Thurgate becomes the new Roy or if Roy remains the same Roy all season next year and we won't have to worry about any of it.

Hope that clears things up.

Yep , About as clear as our game plan under Jones. Sorry member but you know it to be true.

Dare I say they don’t have the balls to throw more fuel on the Jets fire after the last few days. Either they’re waiting for it to subside before dishing out the suspension, or we might get lucky and he gets a reduced suspension because they want to make it up to us LOL

This is the FFA

They probably ****ed up organising the disciplinary committee and someone cant make it as Masterchef is on and it held over to he free

[halo se7en]

I just read the article properly... for anything worse than a 4-game suspension, it gets referred to an independent tribunal which is where Roy has ended up. I’m guessing 6 weeks.

[turbojetfireV8]

Hopefully they take into account Berishitkhunt should have got a straight red for fracturing Roy's eye socket with a deliberate elbow

[Jetmaster]

The MRP, comprised of Simon Micallef, Alan Contini and Alan Davidson, ruled Berisha had no case to answer for the contact with O’Donovan.

Obviously not.

[Jeterpool]

I think he will get a hefty suspension and deserves it too. I'm not willing to defend what he did there.

Our experience with our own keepers getting kicked in the head shouldn't be forgotten. It was a horrible act.

Our experience with our own keepers getting kicked in the head shouldn't be forgotten. It was a horrible act.

true. 6-8 weeks i reckon.

even more of a glaring issue for me is that we had 3 head injuries in the one game and yet not a single one was assessed as having concussion.

I think FIFA/FFA/AFC need to look at a concussion policy that permits a replacement player while a player is assessed for concussion.

[The Dunster]

I think he will get a hefty suspension and deserves it too. I'm not willing to defend what he did there.

Our experience with our own keepers getting kicked in the head shouldn't be forgotten. It was a horrible act.

Roy's defence is that the contact he received earlier from Berishas elbow affected his judgement.

Had Berisha been sent off I think the likelihood of O'Donovan kicking Thomas are pretty much zero.

If Referees are willing to let Melb Victory get away with grubby shit all night [not just the Berisha elbow] then it's to be expected that players are going to eventually get frustrated.

I've experienced it myself and it makes you do things you normally wouldn't do.

[Macca]

I honestly think there was no malice in what Roy did. Poor challenge, yeah, and red card deserved. But I don't think there was any intent to contact Thomas or cause him harm.

He has shown how committed he is to trying to get onto the end of crosses all year, its not the first time he's collided with a keeper both going for a 50-50 ball. From memory, I think him reinjuring his groin was due to stretching for a ball and copping a hit from the keeper.

I think its possible that the elbow did impact his decision making, whether through actual visual impairment or just being a bit woozy.

Either way, the hyperbole from media has frustrated me.

It was incredibly dangerous but I’d like to think they take into account the context of the game and desperation to get a toe on the ball, plus his knock from earlier. No-one can deny its reckless, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as blatantly head butting which he got 8 weeks for. Does intent come into it? I think Bramas challenge on Gameiro was far more brutal. What did he cop for that? 6?

No-one can deny its reckless, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as blatantly head butting which he got 8 weeks for. Does intent come into it? I think Bramas challenge on Gameiro was far more brutal. What did he cop for that? 6?

Brama got 2 weeks.


Yep. 2.

[Jeterpool]

Was it as bad as the Mane/Citeh goalkeeper from back in the day? What did Mane get 3weeks?

That's an interesting comparison.

[Macca]

Was it as bad as the Mane/Citeh goalkeeper from back in the day? What did Mane get 3weeks?

Pretty similar imo, that's the challenge I've had in mind the whole time.

[Bon]

Pretty similar imo, that's the challenge I've had in mind the whole time.

Yeah, I agree..
But unfortunately this is Straya and our officials and committees are horrendously incompetent..
I'll be absolutely flabbergasted if he gets less than 6 weeks..

[Bremsstrahlung]

Immediately thought of Mane situation.
I mean, if he actually gets to the ball and gets a flick on toward goal and Thomas arrives late and gets him, what happens?

I don’t know if they are allowed/supposed to talk about intent. Nobody can prove anything either way. They will say he meant to cause harm, we will say that he went for the ball and was so focussed etc.

How long was Smeltz suspended for?

I think 3-4 weeks.

Muscat can’t even comment on it surely. I rewatched his red card tackle where he makes contact above he knee and is horizontal. Grub.


I have a reasonably new found dislike towards Victory after this season. The thought of Troisi in a good shirt with his combover makes me sick.

[halo se7en]

Yeah, I agree..
But unfortunately this is Straya and our officials and committees are horrendously incompetent..
I'll be absolutely flabbergasted if he gets less than 6 weeks..

And he's already been referred to an independent tribunal which is supposed to rule on cases where it will exceed 4 weeks.

Latest on Iniesta...

But this is interesting


But it’s understood Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers are the clubs who will be in the market for recognised name players next season.

The CEOs of the four clubs are due to meet on Thursday to discuss their budgets and how the funds, provided by Fox Sports, will be used.

We are one of the big 4 all of a sudden!

Wait, are they really saying that Iniesta is somewhat comparable to Del Piero and Heskey?

Oh my dear lord.

Yeah, I don't think our injury record was anything worth shouting about. BUT I don't know the ins and outs of his role so I don't want to criticise him. Either way, if Lee is willing to spend money, I don't imagine it's that difficult to replace a physio. Maybe we could just poach Sydney's?

I understand the Good Members and Stannys point.

But any player, be it Griff, Iniesta or Pato needs to be signed for their footballing ability only, and their ability to contribute to a winning team.

This season has shown that the crowds, and results will come with good football.

Give me Vargas over Heskey any day

FFA are killing the game in this country because they aint catering to football fans

The other week i watched a game in Thailand

No VAR
Full strength beer at $2 a cup
$5 entry
Sitting or standing on steel stands not a seat of plastic
Right on top of the pitch
It was a cracking night because it was real football in a shitty ground

Why cant i get this in this country??



Can shove their 30k all seaters and their big name marquees up their arse.

You support the shirt and the shit cunce in it

is that the physio's fault or is it a lack of a proper strength and conditioning coach to specifically focus on injury prevention (as opposed to a physio who probably is more focused on recovery)?

we must be offloading some players then, with the signing of matt, as well as having kanta, brown and uga at full fitness keeping mcgree seems odd despite the quality he offered.

That to me reads like we are just saying the right things to make him know how much we lobed having him here, in case he comes back to the HAL in a few years time, rather than actually trying to keep him.

[Macca]

Nor would I - especially as we would be silly to not sign an Asian player for the ACL.

Interesting nobody mentions Cowburn in the conversations with midfielders as well.

I haven't completely written off Cowburn yet, as he came into a side underperforming as a whole. But he didn't offer a lot while he was there. Potentially is an option as the bread and butter DM, but was outshone well and truly by Kanta and Uga (when he played that role alongside McGree) in that role from what we've seen so far.

Needs to show a bit more to be in the picture for a starting spot imo.

You're right - he needs to show more.

Perhaps he might think his best position is midfield, but his best football for us has been played at fullback. Hoffy was signed as a striker originally but to keep a position in the team had to transition to become a right back. Maybe that's the approach Nick will take next year.

Cowburn can put out the witches hats, pump balls up etc etc.

The FFA are ****ing idiots and have created this shit storm by their bullshit announcement less than 24 hours after the result that the VAR failed

All they had to do was shut their mouth and the eye sight challenged officials cop the blame

But showing how good they are at shooting thermselves in the foot they open their mouths when silence is required

We lost
We copped an incorrect decision


Lets just take it like good sports and stop having a sulk about it

I am with Jetmaster here. Without being all over the ins and outs of the FFA's corporate structure ( anybody who does know please jump in ) but if they receive any federal concessions or federal Govt funding there SHOULD BE a inquiry in to the governance of the FFA. This body should not be getting any concessions or financial assistance whatsoever whilst there is clearly dereliction of duty within it. Time and time again the same cock ups arise and yet nobody seems to be held accountable.

If anything there is a culture of circle the wagons scratch each others back and wait til bad shit blows over.

i can kind of see your point, but don't forget FIFA take a very dim view of any government interference (or even the perception of it) in football matters.

I don't know eh, But it dead set drives me insane there is no accountability at FFA HQ.

As someone who spent the best part of 25 years dealing with business of all sizes from Mum & Dad operations right up to Mass Merchants it beggars belief some of these blokes at the FFA still have a job to go to. They would not last 5 mins in a role out in the real world. Out in the real world they would not get the opportunity to hide behind the threat of charging somebody with a good old bringing the game into disrepute should somebody dare question there competence.

If Gallop was of decent character he would look at himself in the mirror and ask is the game in a better position now than when he started. We all know what the answer to that is and what that would mean for him. As for Wilson he needs to do the same, not withstanding the VAR and its shortcomings his officials have had one of the worst seasons since the inception of the A League and that is on him. How many times do you look at a game and think the officials have had more of a say in the outcome than the players.

But this comes back down to the stakeholders in this game not keeping them accountable.


They basically allowed to get away with it as there is not enough of an uprising to hold them to account


There is an apathy from the footballing community to get change to happen

We all see it needs to occur.

These idiots at FFA are only holding onto power as long as they are allowed to so they can keep getting a pay cheque

It high time they were issued with a DCM


The organisation is rotten to the core and I would prefer another Crawford Report moment

Hopefully this time we get things right tjis time

Get a fair and equitable governing body who are accountable to all in the game and we also fold the State Federations who have consistently ****ed this game in self interest for decades
