[Jeterpool]

No additional stuff this week - don't have the time with work.

[The Dunster]

You couldn't get enough money on Brisbane to win this easily.

Roar 5 - jets 0

[plague]

Ross Aloisi to unless a coaching masterclass, Roar win by at least 7.

Merrick starts Jackson in both the W-League and A-League games just to take the piss.

Anyone got Tinklers phone number?

[MFKS]

Can anyone explain why we have such a garbage fixtire list??

We play 2 away
We play 2 at home
We play 2 away
29 days pass before we play at home and then we get 4 games out of 5 at home then we aint sighted in Newy for most of ****ing January

Is it any wonder why the HAL is struggling to win minds with such incompetence with the fixturing ??

It is either a feast or a famine of games

The only real answer to this is FFA HQ is filled with incompetent drop kicks. Look at the lack of accountability Ben Wilson and his crew get away with week after week.

[plague]

then we aint sighted in Newy for most of ****ing January


You make it sound like that's a bad thing?

[Bon]

Is the game at 5pm or 7pm??

That was the moment where you were supposed to say "I was testing if anyone actually reads this stuff" again.. :gent:

Sounds like Jeterpool doesnt read it. 😁😁

[Superdylan]

Wow feels like its been a while since we have had an afternoon game.

Thinking we get a result on sunday. Glad we are back at home.

[plague]

is this the double header?
anyone know what time the ladies kick off?

[380]

2.30 i believe

5 Pm I believe

[MFKS]

Here he was doing a wonderful deed by sparing some people the tragic consequences of watching this shit show of a club by showing up late and you query him on it

[StannyCFCJET]

5 Pm I believe

**** off with your anti Women football bullshit

[plague]

Figured if i get there for the womens game and get on the mid strength cans by the time the fellas kick off i might have a small semblance of a shine on in order to tolerate them.

[traffic light]

**** off with your anti Women football bullshit

fk off spineless mangina. Trying to glorify 3rd grade shite.

[MFKS]

**** off with your anti Women football bullshit

That sailed straight over your head didnt it??

[StannyCFCJET]

That sailed straight over your head didnt it??

Dont act like it wasnt a joke aimed at the men and a dig at the women at the same time

[MFKS]

Dont act like it wasnt a joke aimed at the men and a dig at the women at the same time

No it was a joke aimed at Merricks side

I wasnt even thinking about the women

I dont think about them because they are actually irrelevant to me

You just read in to it way too much

[plague]

No it was a joke aimed at Merricks side

I wasnt even thinking about the women

I dont think about them because they are actually irrelevant to me

You just read in to it way too much

yeah Stanny, cant you see that Member wasnt being derogatory about women, he was being derogatory about men being feminine which is still being derogatory about women but he was too far down the line to notice.

hot takes wait for no man (or woman).

Your worse than Stanny with your over analysis

You of all people should know I aint that deep in my thinking

[mic22]

Sorry to interrupt...
Brisbane should have a few players out: Mauk is suspended, and what about Taggart and Bautheac? They both pulled out injured last week.
If they play their young team we may be able to snatch a draw in our current form...

I always wait till the squads are announced...then continue bagging the team out about our chances.

Squads out do they really matter??

Cant Bert pick 11 blokes from our HAL squad or Yoof team at 4pm on Sunday anyway??

So what relevance is there in the squad announcement prior to the game other than giving journos weak cloumn inches

Ronnie is back and we still gonna lose 5-0.

Yeah no Hoff no chance

[belchardo]

whoa, just saw the starting line up. when did ernie leave the club?

[mic22]

Sheppard... interesting

[The Dunster]

Stream?

[StannyCFCJET]

Stream?
YouTube, Firstrowsports or VIPbox

[weston]

Is that clown reffing?

[belchardo]

observation rather than criticism - squadron seems to be back to pretty low numbers

[The Dunster]

None of them work for me.

[Hunter403]

Don't worry; 15 minutes of trash so far.

[belchardo]

Don't worry; 15 minutes of trash so far.

i think we are looking much improved.

[belchardo]

very nice. great finish.

[weston]

I was thinking to myself earlier that if shephard was able to get in front of the defender rather then wait behind them he will be a lot more dangerous.

And there you have it.

[mic22]

Great work by Sheppard: in 30 mins he forced his defender to 3 yellow card fouls (for some reason the ref didn't send him out...), then the goal.
A legitimate striker up front makes all the difference.

[belchardo]

we've had much more penetration with both georgevski and ivan as wingbacks. crossing still hasn't been particularly fantastic, and i do think we try to work too much fancy work into the front third, but definitely better.

[The Dunster]

Earlier we got a free kick ouside the box when roar no. 4 pulled shepherd down from behind.
No yellow card is that correct?

[belchardo]

great save by moss by the way.

[StannyCFCJET]

we've had much more penetration with both georgevski and ivan as wingbacks. crossing still hasn't been particularly fantastic, and i do think we try to work too much fancy work into the front third, but definitely better.

Vujica defending well as well. No way Jackson gets that LB spot back

[belchardo]

Earlier we got a free kick ouside the box when roar no. 4 pulled shepherd down from behind.
No yellow card is that correct?

yeah, bowles had already been booked, so referee gave him the free pass.

[belchardo]

Vujica defending well as well. No way Jackson gets that LB spot back

i think we've actually been a little worse in the backline tonight. so far we've got away with it. overall though, i agree. vuj offers more than enough to make up for (perceived or actual) defensive shortcomings.

[The Dunster]

This games far from over. We could be three up but instead we only have a single goal.

[The Dunster]

Georgevski seems to play better when Jacksons not around. Is that a fair call?

[MFKS]

****

Leroy George just scored

Still trash

[belchardo]

god i thought petratos had ballsed that up.

ground announcer needs to be sacked. firstly for that "newcastle" crap after the second, secondly for announcing that hoffman scored the first. :slap:

[belchardo]

Georgevski seems to play better when Jacksons not around. Is that a fair call?

just trying to remember if petratos has played on the same side as georgevski. they certainly seem to be working well tonight.

[The Dunster]

Taggart hat-trick. Enough time?

[StannyCFCJET]

just trying to remember if petratos has played on the same side as georgevski. they certainly seem to be working well tonight.

Most of the season

[outsider]

Earlier we got a free kick ouside the box when roar no. 4 pulled shepherd down from behind.
No yellow card is that correct?

this particular referee seems not to give sanctions that would be given by other referees-several warranted today

[MFKS]

Ridenton should actually be taken out the back and shot for that effort

Disgraceful

[Frodo]

Ridenton should actually be taken out the back and shot for that effort

Disgraceful

No. That was the best thing I've ever witnessed at a Jets game. He is now my favourite player. I don't care if we lose every game, as long as he repeats that every week. Hahahaha.

Absolute peak Jets right there.

[The Dunster]

Ridenton should actually be taken out the back and shot for that effort

Disgraceful

He offers nothing in attack or defensively.
Would trade him before eben Jackson.

[Frodo]

He offers nothing in attack or defensively.
Would trade him before eben Jackson.
That is true tho.

[Hunter403]

Those two misses sum us up.

Good win and we got better as the game went on but our work in the final third is pants.

Still, will go just to watch Vargas on the ball and Ridenton butcher a goal

[StannyCFCJET]

He offers nothing in attack or defensively.
Would trade him before eben Jackson.

He offers plenty. Did you watch the game?

[plague]

where my Jair haterz at?

[Retro Jet]

where my Jair haterz at?

Tucked away with aplomb.
Haterz are up against the wall with Ridenton...

[Couscous]

I was going to celebrate the win but Ridenton.

[MFKS]

where my Jair haterz at?

He second worst in the team behind Trash Boy Ridenton

Despite the goal Jair was useless as usual

[MFKS]

More importantly we are 6 points clear at the top of the league now

Pretty confident that we will get the title this season

If we can jag a win v Perth next week and we are overdue on that front then it will be 9 points in the bag and 3 wins on the bounce and 2 home games on the bounce at home

[plague]

Ugabooga man is the best player in our squad.
Not he most talented (its of course Grff, then Vargas).
But the better he plays, and the more space he has, the better our squad goes.

and it must be noted that that space is created by Kanta. the combo the best we have.
sort it out Ernie.

No he isnt

You have just clear as day said that Kanta is the most important player in our side

Did Kanta play when we put 8 past the Gypos??
Yes

Did Kanta play today ??
Yes


Did Kanta play in the GF??
No

Case closed

haha.
you were all about telling us how bad Kanta was last year.
you were the lead guitarist in the Wayne brown tribute band.

sit down with your false Kanta praise now.

[boz-monaut]

I was massively distracted this afternoon and completely forgot this game was on (not that I'd have been able to watch anyway)

it seems the less I have to do with the Jets the better they go

[mic22]

this particular referee seems not to give sanctions that would be given by other referees-several warranted today

How wrong was that... Bowles deserved a double yellow, doesn't matter if it's 10 mins into the game or 75.
Some refs must think it's unfair to give two yellows to the same player in the first half: and that's bad refereeing.

[Imyourhero]

we.are.going.to.win.the.league

[turbojetfireV8]

definitely a much better squad without Lachy Clueless Piece of Pelicanshit Jacko out there, at least Ivan has decent distribution - how long can the broken nose keep Jackson off the teamsheet???

[MFKS]

On another note

Dimi as the #9 works a shit load better than all our other efforts to manufacture a #9

I am all for getting the bloke more central

We look a lot better a side with hik.centrally whether that is at 10 or 9

[MFKS]

haha.
you were all about telling us how bad Kanta was last year.

It not Kanta love it just me proving you wrong

Kanta is a more important player to the Jets than Stevie U that is a reality

[plague]

It not Kanta love it just me proving you wrong


such a plastic.

[Couscous]

What is Wayne Brown doing? I liked that bloke.

[Macca]

There must have been at least a half dozen yellow card offences by Brisbane that went unpunished by the referee. I wouldn't be surprised if it was double figures. Clear professional fouls and drag backs on Jets players attempting to break. What a farce.

Good to see Dimi and Danny G back to showing some of last season's form. I have no hate for Jackson but it was good to see Vuj back on the park too.
Jair still needs work on staying onside. But I loved his celebration so much, happy for the dude to get the monkey off his back and hopefully he can kick on from here.

For all his skill, I wonder if Ronny is overplaying things a little (only from the sense that his teammates aren't on the same skill/vision level as he is) and he'd be better off playing a little more simple and direct like Dimi tends to from the 10. Would like to see both him and Jair having a few more cracks at goal in any case.

[Jetmaster]

ground announcer needs to be sacked. firstly for that "newcastle" crap after the second, secondly for announcing that hoffman scored the first. :slap:

The matchday experience is becoming more cringeworthy every game. YOU will stand when we say so, YOU will jump when we say so, YOU will chant Noocarsul when WE say so. No passion, no sponteneity whatsover....just watered down active support to be family friendly.

If you are going to have an announcer at least have one that understands the game and knows the players. I'm still getting over our midfielder "Ugar Covic".....

[Jeterpool]

Who is it calling "New-ca-stle" over the loudspeaker? It sounds like it's Lawrie.

I agree - the matchday experience is cringe worthy. I'll stand when I want to stand. You can't manufacture atmosphere.

[Superdylan]

observation rather than criticism - squadron seems to be back to pretty low numbers

Seems to be a trend with Sunday afternoon games. Alot of the older guys in bay 1 sat down yesterday so it was mainly the 12 year olds to 18 year olds running things in the bay yesterday.

Hopefully better numbers next week now we have had a home win this season.

we have tix in that area. no way we were sitting in that sun.
the hill was the business yesterday.
i dont blame anyone else for sitting that one out.

thought numbers and noise have been pretty good at the night games though so far.

[Jeterpool]

I've read a bit of criticism of Jair on here following the game but I thought it was probably his strongest performance - goal or not. He looks a lot better with a more mobile fullback who was looking to overlap and provide an option.

Dimi was terrific. That right hand side was so dangerous for the majority of the game.

Ams was losing control of the game yesterday. Compared to King who officiated the game last week it's like comparing chalk and cheese. I swear he went to book Bowles for a second time in the 34th minute but realised who it was and changed his mind - which is wrong. Secondly, int he 2nd half he awarded a goal kick following a corner and when Dimi protested, and with the Roar players moving out for a goal kick, he changed his mind and Dimi took it quickly and didn't allow the Roar a chance to reset. That's pretty poor game management.

And finally, Mustafa Amini doing the coin toss - far out.

[plague]

the sheer joy on his face after scoring makes me want him to succeed even more.

[Jeterpool]

The bloke is probably still celebrating now. It was almost like a release of stress and lifting of a huge weight on his shoulders. Hopefully that frees him up for future weeks.

[StannyCFCJET]

the sheer joy on his face after scoring makes me want him to succeed even more.

Agreed

[plague]

and have we decided that Ivan is ok and can hang in the the team for a bit longer or is everyone still telling me he is trash?

Well said JP re Jair. My young bloke and i was just discussing this last night whilst watching the replay. We listed so many import players who have came here and looked very average in the beginning some taking half a season to look decent.I can recall Castro's first half season in the A League and it was very mediocre.

[belchardo]

II swear he went to book Bowles for a second time in the 34th minute but realised who it was and changed his mind

i thought the same thing. commentators mentioned that he was lucky to still be there.

And conversely how many come in with a bang and struggle to maintain that level!

It's got to be hard. New country, playing in the heat (which will only get worse), possible language barriers, new lifestyle. Good on him.

[Alton]

What about Ronny, how is he travelling?

[mic22]

What about Ronny, how is he travelling?
I don't quite like how he played yesterday, bit of a heavy first and last touch.
Didn't produce much.

[Tommyjet]

and have we decided that Ivan is ok and can hang in the the team for a bit longer or is everyone still telling me he is trash?

I've always rated him. Should be a mainstay by now

[Jeterpool]

I agree, Tommy. I think Lachie will find it hard to regain his place in the team in the short term. Ernie isn't one for making wholesale changes simply for the sake of it. I think Hoff will at the very least come back onto the bench. Hard to drop Sheppard after a solid debut.

[la bazzle]

the sheer joy on his face after scoring makes me want him to succeed even more.

This is the most beautiful post ever made on the foz

[StannyCFCJET]

Vujica should keep his place but we all know Ernie will put Jackson straight back in

[Jetmaster]

Vujica should keep his place but we all know Ernie will put Jackson straight back in

In the Fox pre-game, Ernie was sort of saying that.

[Jeterpool]

Vujica should keep his place but we all know Ernie will put Jackson straight back in

I hope that won't be the case post-game. Ivan had a good game

[plague]

Jamie Youngs distribution was supremely awful yesterday too.

Jamie Youngs distribution was supremely awful yesterday too.

Reminded me of days gone by when Liam Reddy or Birraz were playing

[ForeverRed]

is it not frank barret, a rugby league moron

[StannyCFCJET]

In the Fox pre-game, Ernie was sort of saying that.

Adds another dimension to our attack but our he also said Sheppard doesn't start of Hoffy is fit

[380]

Nope no way can Ernie justify a selecting a fit Jackson and Hoff to the starting lineup.

That would be the ultimate piss take and insult.

[StannyCFCJET]

Hoffman gets on the bench for me but yeah Jackson needs a spell

[MFKS]

Nope no way can Ernie justify a selecting a fit Jackson and Hoff to the starting lineup.

That would be the ultimate piss take and insult.

He has just spent 6 weeks playing Hoffman as a #9

I think he needs to raise the bar a bit to top that piss take

[380]

I wouldn't put anything past Ernie this campaign. Even Ridenton at the point such is Ernie's form thus far for selections.

[MFKS]

I wouldn't put anything past Ernie this campaign. Even Ridenton at the point such is Ernie's form thus far for selections.

After his finishing yesterday he cant go any worse than Hoff up there

If anything was impressed with Dimi in the 9 in the last 15 to 20 mins

Maybe something to be looked at going forward if Roy is out again

[Charlie Chan]

I agree, Tommy. I think Lachie will find it hard to regain his place in the team in the short term. Ernie isn't one for making wholesale changes simply for the sake of it. I think Hoff will at the very least come back onto the bench. Hard to drop Sheppard after a solid debut.

In Lachies defence no way is he a left fullback his time will come when NTS retires. If HOFF comes back into the starting lineup next week Merrick has clearly suffered from some oxygen deprivation and needs to be committed.

Topor nor Boogaard dont look like they retiring anytime soon and if Jackson was good enough he would be a starter by now

He is a limited footballer and I be surprised if he isnt back in the NPL after he does a tour of another 2 to 3 clubs aka Every other HAL hack

[380]

They go to that in between place down on the Central Coast. The A League club you play for when you are not good enough for the A League.

[Bremsstrahlung]

I’d be dropping Ridenton, george and then Jackson before touching Hoffman.
Maybe a positional switch, but he’s been far from our worst.

[The Dunster]

What is Wayne Brown doing? I liked that bloke.

Plays in National League in England [5th tier of English football].

[Couscous]

Plays in National League in England [5th tier of English football].

He's too good for that.

[StannyCFCJET]

He's too good for that.

Not good enough for the aleague though

[The Dunster]

He's too good for that.

I agree and I can't imagine the money would be anywhere near what he was on here.
