Victory 5 - Jets 1

I reckon the Member would be very honored and feeling rather indebted to his newest and bestest pal Lawrie for such a wonderful gesture.

[StannyCFCJET]

Anything under 20k is a poor crowd IMO after the GF attendance and all the people whining about not getting tickets

If we had of got maximum points from the first two rounds for sure 20k but 1 point from a possible 6 will keep a large number of plastics and blow ins away.

If thats all it takes then we have no hope of ever sustaining memberships over 10k

They can meet and discuss jet shaped hats

Also got This That and Bitter & Twisted on today which will hit our numbers pretty hard.

[Jetmaster]

And its hot....and there might be a storm. It's always been the same in Oz. I reckon 10-12k for first up.
MV wont bring many this time of the year.
Maybe a few hot Japanese girls might come Honda hunting from Sydney.

In light of a bar in my honour is the booze

1 Cheap
2 Full Strength

Or they taking the piss still

Went to a game in Thailand the other month

For $3 was getting long necks of Singha at full strength

They were pouring them into a plastic cup for safety reasons but at $3 a long neck they were more than welcome

[MFKS]

Anything under 20k is a poor crowd IMO after the GF attendance and all the people whining about not getting tickets

Why??

The GF was full of plastics we all know that

If you thinking they turning out en masse for rank and file HAL games you are delusional

We have an increased membership which is a positive and it now up to the Chinese Light Salesman and his Gypo appointee to keep us as a semi successful side for future years and not the diabolical dogs breakfast we have been for the previous 10

Do that and our memberships will steadily grow up to 12/15k

[Jetmaster]

We had 19k in heavy rain for the semi

Semi is a bit different especially when most tix are bought in advance.

[Couscous]

0-5. Honda and Barbarouses to destroy us. Kenny Athiu to actually stay playing well; at least a brace for him.

Why were you in Thailand, Member?

Do Thais love Australians now because of the Aussie doctor diver cave hero?

[Jetmaster]

Very naive.... $20 beer and BJ is a good start.

[Couscous]

Kenny's injured.

In that case, 5-0 to us.

Well when I filled out the immigration card the other week I was able to tick the visiting Friends / Relative box and there was no lie in that statement

I use to just tick the Holiday box but that box is now more accurate



Aussies are well liked in Thailand

The locals have little time for Indians and Chinese these days as both countries have mass budget tourism to Thailand as it more or less on their doorsteps and as a result they get the Indian and Chinese Equivalents of the Bali Bogans in full flight

[StannyCFCJET]

I dont know much about the kind of music Joey makes but the kid has talent

[Hunter403]

27 in and we are all over them like hair on a gorilla. They're sitting very deep. Watch out for the sucker punch if don't bury one of these chances soon

[MFKS]

Dont know who is worse

Victrees defending

or our Shooting

****ing honking both of them

[Hunter403]

Worried about Jackson. Been caught out of position a couple of times now.

[belchardo]

Alright. That convinces me completely that the referees just don't know the rules. Player goes down for 3 minutes for treatment by the physio, and "bigger than football" beathy doesn't even make him go off!

[belchardo]

Can we not just try jiar in the middle with hoff out wide for a while?

[The Dunster]

Scott Miller on Fox talking complete shit. Blokes an imposter thank god Mr Lee got rid of him.

[Hunter403]

Jeez, we are letting them through the centre this half.

[The Dunster]

We are holding on here at best.

[Retro Jet]

Jackson has been reading the Foz...

[Hunter403]

That's been coming

[The Dunster]

Boogaard must be drunk thinking Antonis was doing anything othervthan shooting.
Moss is useless.

Jackson the pick of the back four which is a real worry.

[Hunter403]

Austen honking so far.

[Hunter403]

Boogaard must be drunk thinking Antonis was doing anything othervthan shooting.
Moss is useless.


Jackson the pick of the back four which is a real worry.

As I said, we've lost the centre in the second half.

[The Dunster]

I am watching the game on FTA and feel like I paid too much. Fans at the game must be gutted by this woeful display.

Fold the club

[The Dunster]

We are shit but Beath does us no favours Victory never get pulled up for niggling shit like shirt pulls, pushing, or holding onto players arms.

Simon Hill can get ****ed. Totall arse clown

[Hunter403]

What's Hill on about?

[MFKS]

We are now coming last


Home sweet Home

[The Dunster]

We are playing shit football and if teams continue to sit back we don't have the types of players to take advantage.

Wewill avoid the spoon but finals football is unlikely.

We have been worked out now and Ernie doesn't appear to have a plan B

This was a major concern for me last season and Merrick said he doesn't have plan Bs just a system that can be flexible

I wouldnt day the sky is falling in

We are not that bad a side

We aint enjoying much luck and our execution is letting us down

Defensively we aint going that bad

Our shooting this season has been ****ing abysmal though

We are creating chances

When we get a shot in it doesnt require the keeper to actually work

I dont recall an opposition keeper actually making a "save" against us

Our shots have either been straight at them or well wide of the goal

As for Jair bloke is our very own Leroy George

Complete trash

[fozphantom]

Beaten by a wormburner from a shitney FnC's reject.

Someone say fold the club? Fold the f****n League lads!
Who'd pay a subscription to watch that dross and plenty of boring as bat shit games I've watched 3 rounds in.
No wonder we're scrapping for tv rights dough.

Honda: another OS pretender here for a summer holiday.
Enjoy St Kilda beach dickhead.

[plague]

thank Griff there are only 3 games left in the season.

Agree....but also Hoff isnt a front striker, Jackson isnt a left back and Dimi has to stop trying the amazing stuff all the time.

We're in trouble....we have no goals in us.

[Jetmaster]

Also the Best of Beath....gives a corner to MV and realises every player on the field is walking back to halfway.

Changes his signal to goal kick. What a twat.

This.

You know the standard of the league is diabolical when the likes of Hoff can get a start at 9 three weeks running. Or Ernie and Lawrie taking the piss having had all of the off season to address the absence of Roy and they came up with Hoff.

F&*%^*ng ridiculous form from both the coach and CEO.

[Frodo]

I just want it noted that I'm still in favour of folding the league. Happy to pay the membership fees just to stop this crap from being witnessed by any innocent bystander.

Deserved to lose but Victory are a rubbish squad. They truly have nothing. Honda was rubbish too. Makes Bolts wage demands seem fair dinkum.

[Tommyjet]

Almost got exciting on the walk to the car, a few tard fans tried to start things off in the corridor between mini golf and gym

I read somewhere that they had punch ups inside the away fans section. Probably over the banner they put up.

[Tommyjet]

Yeah a couple of the drunker ones were mouthing off to some older gentlemen and one older fella bit and it almost escalated to a brawl until a couple of their more responsible fans restained their cowardly mates and an older lady walking in front of us got in their face and told them to wake up to themselves

[Hunter403]

Just my view....

Moss: Shaky on set pieces but generally ok 5/10
Crazy George: good first half but then disappeared. 5/10
Boogs: Solid and strong in the air. Some say he should have done more to prevent the goal, but where were our DMs? 6/10
Two Dads: solid but not spectacular. 5/10
Stretch Jackson: Scared the shit out of me in the first half he was out of position so often. Lucky Barbarouses left him alone. Better in the second half. Bonus point for going around Broxahm like the useless old Tard that he is. 5/10
Stevie Ug: To me, possibly our best for most of the match. 7/10
Ridenton: Was he on the field? 2/10
Vargas: Our most dangerous by far. First half work with Dimi, Crazy George and co down our right was excellent. Quieter in the second as we surrendered the midfield. 7/10
Dimi: FFS, stop going backwards and put the fancy stuff away!! Go back to doing what you do best: go forward. 5/10
Jair: not in the game enough. Even when he shifted to the right the ball then went left. Needs more fitness. Needs to be our 9 until Roy gets back.
The Hoff: Sorry mate, your days as a 9 are over. Back to right back with you. 4/10

Subs:
Mitch "Bionic Man" Austin: he came, he saw, he did nothing. 2/10
Kanta: should have started. Came on too late but looked good 6/10
Kaine "baa baa" Sheppard: Needs more time in the game. No rating here.

We looked great in the fist 35 to 40, particularly down our right. I have no idea what Muscat put n the Koolaid at half time but it certainly woke Victory up. we kept Honda very quiet in the first half but he got into the game in the second.

Muscat has our number. Sit back, take in the pressure knowing we are struggling in front of goal and wait until we tire. Ernie needs a second string to his bow.

PS: Niedermeier: anyone else think of Animal House when you see his name or am I just an old ****?

[Couscous]

I dislike Kevin Muscat and, in general, Melbourne Victory.

[plague]

The Ugabooga mans last 20mins of games this year have been ordinary. Hes usually still motoring.

Ridenton is offering him little help. Id say starting Kanta next week will help Ugabooga man immensely.

Hoff showed his inexperience as a front man last night. A few times he needed to gamble on making a run but didnt. hes a very reactionary player. his 'hold up play' in the 2nd half when they needed some respite was bad.

Vargas is excellent.
Petratos just isnt clicking, but man oh man his teammates were often no where near him to play the easy pass.

You all loved the gypo CEO last year, well now that hes stacked the team full of secret agents like Austin and Boogaard you still wanna clap him. Bloke is a disc-race and should be sacked ASAP.

but biggest takeaway, the bloke in the blue shirt checking everyones tickets at the entrance to Bay 3 was a clown. Took his job way too seriously. Told Plague Jnr to move at one stage while he was waiting for some old people to pass. was giving people the chat about their behaviour 3 mins after they took their seats (which was about 45min before kickoff).

way to make the football a fun night out.

**** this club

[Jetmaster]

Alot of plasticity last night. The toying with the NTUA video, Joel's failing tshirt cannon, green sand thrown all over the patchy surface, the new "less macho" Jetman and the announcer....

Steven Oogar Covic ffs....

Yeah we made mention of the new sad Jet man.

How about 'jetwoman' instead of 'jetgirl'

Good to see Middleby attending his PC police classes like a good little lefty. Wonder if he bumped into the Member there?
