This is no armchair spectator sport. ABC Indonesia Correspondent David Lipson ventures into the fanatical, often deadly, arena of Indonesian soccer.

Welcome to SE Asian football

Makes the RBB look like amatuers

[plague]

Foreign Correspondent might have to include that in their report if we do...

Since 1994, 74 fans have been killed in football-related violence.

Seven fans have been killed in the past seven years during matches between Jakarta's team "Persija" and neighbouring Bandung's "Persib".

Indos in a bit of trouble

A Croatian footballer has been accused of assaulting a woman on a flight as his team jetted into Australia for an Asian Champions League match.

Marko Simic, a striker for Indonesian club Persija Jakarta, faced Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday, accused of common assault and an act of indecency on board Sunday’s flight from Bali to Sydney.

Simic’s club is playing A-League team Newcastle Jets in a preliminary round of the premier Asian club competition on Tuesday night.

The Croatian national’s lawyer urged the matter be resolved quickly, but magistrate Jennifer Atkinson said it needed to be treated like any other case with procedural fairness due to all parties including the police.

The matter was adjourned to April 9.

[Jeterpool]

Indos in a bit of trouble

What a grub. I suspect the matter being adjourned means he is free to play tonight.

The journo who spoke with Furns on the Jetstream spoke about issues with the foreign contingent for Persija.

All this can create a siege mentality among their team.

[Bon]

A bit more on it:
https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/champions-league-star-charged-with-assaulting-woman-en-route-to-jets-clash

He has to stay in the country till April 9... Article says its "unclear if he will play against the Jets".
How long till he is linked with joining Sydney FC?

[Couscous]

How long till he is linked with joining Sydney FC?

Very unlikely given Sydney FC is a Serbian club.

[Couscous]

Anyway, wrt to the ACL, I'm distressed by the online taunting of Crystal Palace fans over our Asian kit. They're saying very unkind things, likening us to a cheap Conference version of Palace.

[Jeterpool]

Champness on the out it seems.

He's injured. This is preliminary and we could announce the squad differently if we make the group stage

[Jardelsimage]

any ideas on how I can watch this in japan tonight.

Foxtel go wont work.

Do you have a VPN??

The other week I was in Thailand watching these ****s play on my phone whilst swimming at the beach

So thhere are ways around it

But a VPN makes it easier

How’s Japan?
I’ll be there early March for a couple of weeks.

[StannyCFCJET]

Only injured himself other day

[MFKS]

No excuses

These guys are shit

We win by plenty tonight

If not Bert has got to go ASAP

[mic22]

Attendance is ridiculously low

[MFKS]

This kit makes us look like Barcalona from the sidelines

[&1gest]

So has anyone got a stream for this?

[belchardo]

defence is still atrocious.

anybody else have a sly giggle every time they see number 25 next to one of our defenders? :blush:

dimi trying to do it all again.

[MFKS]

Get Ridenton on FFS

Need a midfielder who can use the ball

[MFKS]

Case closed on why we need to let Roy go
FMD

[belchardo]

good lord. dimi and roy both having moments they won't live down for a while.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Ok, highlight for me is the guy to the side of the Indo supporters that just threatened to moon the big screen/tv cameras

[mic22]

I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this game. They're trash, but we are bad.

[belchardo]

someone ring the cops, there's a whole team out there trying to throw that match and it ain't the indonesians.

[Jetmaster]

We could be gone here unless something changes bloody quick.

[The Dunster]

Can see Riko going past Capt Slow and scoring for Persija.

Jets are woeful tonight. Don't deserve to advance on the 1st halves performance.

[MFKS]

I reck9n that is about 5 corners tonight our defenders have needlessly conceeded

[goaliepersempre]

So has anyone got a stream for this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6_IYcw6PeE

[Bremsstrahlung]

Can I ask when players started thinking they need to cover their lips?
Do any teams actually employ a lip reader to decipher what players say to eachother moments before a FK?

[belchardo]

we are a joy to watch when we go for the counter-attack. we are horrible when trying to break a team down.

[MFKS]

Can I ask when players started thinking they need to cover their lips?

Maybe Dimi should be told to keep the **** under the bar

[Bremsstrahlung]

Maybe Dimi should be told to keep the **** under the bar

George should stop telling him how high he should kick it

[Couscous]

I enjoyed the goal. The goal was good.

[The Dunster]

No way either of these teams will troble Kashima Antlers

[The Dunster]

Jets are a disgrace

[belchardo]

that's right, a guy of about 1.6m tall just headed the ball straight in.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Good on them. They know they need more match fitness. Just trying to draw things out a little.

Ps. are these commentators even allowed to be talking about KFC? I guess there's no McDonalds VAR to overule.

[sorefootballer]

I hate the jets

[BP Super Dynamos]

Who the f@#* was marking/picking him up?

[MFKS]

That is the result of our poor defending needlessly conceeding corners

How a Skip side conceeds to an Indinesian team from a set piece cross is a disgrace to the Dutch Mafia at the FFA

[The Dunster]

Boogs has been out jumped by a bloke that's 3ft tall in heels.

[MFKS]

30 more minutes of watching these ****s play is reward for our ineptitude

Being a Jets fan is torture

FMD

[Bremsstrahlung]

Lol. I'd have built Roy a statue myself if he scored that. You wanna lie down and fake injury, we ain't giving you the ball.




Still missed.

[belchardo]

oh goodie, 30 minutes more of jets joy to watch.

how out of form is roy? can't even score when nobody is paying attention!

[Tommyjet]

This is the crescendo of frustration for this season

[Couscous]

I lack confidence.

[belchardo]

This is the crescendo of frustration for this season

oh, you are so naive - they have much more frustration to offer before they peak! :rof:

[MFKS]

That was Ridenton who just played that delightful ball forward that Roy butchered

[The Dunster]

Hard to make a case for keeping Roy without him taking a massive pay cut.

[Hunter403]

That was Ridenton who just played that delightful ball forward that Roy butchered

Once a season hardly warrants a fap fest

[belchardo]

holy quacking duck shit! boogs!

[Bremsstrahlung]

Boogs

[The Dunster]

Boogs steered the ball in rather than tried to kick the casing off it.

[belchardo]

i look forward to watching how we cock this up now.

[The Dunster]

Crazy George looks like he'sstruggling fitness wise.

[belchardo]

also, their keeper would make a good replacement for moss.

[westjet]

also, their keeper would make a good replacement for moss.

Based on tonight's performance their whole team would be a good replacement for ours.

[The Dunster]

Cowburn on for Dimi

[belchardo]

Based on tonight's performance their whole team would be a good replacement for ours.

it would be very jets to sign a striker who will never get an Australian visa.

[Hunter403]

Is their 89 Mario Jardel?

[Jetmaster]

Who is gonna take our pens???

[MFKS]

Once a season hardly warrants a fap fest

He been our best player in extra time

Done more of use than Ugarkovic and Kanta have all night between them

[Hunter403]

He been our best player in extra time

You are taking the piss surely?

[MFKS]

117mins

That Ridentons football smarts right there

Forward run gets us a Free Kick

Then heads in the clincher



CANT PLAY??

NFI

[belchardo]

well, we get a second match. we will be massacred.

[The Dunster]

Cowburn shoulf take more free kicks. Beautiful ball into Ridenton.

[MFKS]

You are taking the piss surely?

Taking the piss??

Go watch the 30 mins of extra time and focus on Ridenton

Bloke has elements to improve
But we have a footballer in him that is for sure

[Hunter403]

One good pass and a goal makes him no more a good player than a one night stand makes a wife/husband.

Squadie at best and a waste of a visa

[The Dunster]

Disgusting that fox commentator would ask Persija player about the pending court case of a team mate.

Then dip shit in tbe studio saying "oh he wasn't hapoy to talk aboutthe Simic case.

[StannyCFCJET]

Tonight was Ridentons best and possibly only good game so far. If that's what we signed him to do then I'm all for it. Why it's taken this long to see it NFI. Now surely we can get mutual with Jair and give Thurgate more of a go

[plague]

How did we go in the kickyball lads?

[boz-monaut]

we done good

that is to say we done less bad than they did

[mic22]

Our passing in the front 3rd and shooting technique are atrocious - no one excluded.

[MFKS]

Disgusting that fox commentator would ask Persija player about the pending court case of a team mate.

No more disgusting than the crowd booing him every time he got the ball

Society are pretty good at becoming judge jury and executioner these days

Everyone thinks they are god and are happy to judge

FFS there aint no presumption of innocence these days

[Jetmaster]

Fun sitting with the plastics again.

Amazed how many don't know the offside rule....even funnier was old mate calling the opposition cheats for using an extra sub in extra time....

I wasnt aware you got an extra sub in extra time. Has this always been an acl thing?

[MFKS]

It something that has come into Football in general in recent times and was in the recent WC 2018 and Asian Cup

It is also in the FA Cup and UCL this season as well

[plague]

we done good

that is to say we done less bad than they did

Excellent.
I dont suppose Kashima have many taxi drivers and air rage perpetrators in their squad?

Ain't that the truth comrade.

It’s okay when it’s a drugby league player though?

Was pretty content with the boos to be honest.

[Bajar]

Newbie here, first post - please be gentle...

Thought we were good in midfield, but there is an extreme lack of confidence up front. Too many first touches, too many folk trying to pass it into the net (which worked well for Ronny, and for me on FIFA but that's it). Dimi looks absolutely distraught everytime he passes or shoots in that part of the field.

And the boo's are par for the course. Fair play to Simic for engaging with the crowd during the match and playing to it, as well.

[Couscous]

How did Simic engage the crowd? I wasn't there.

[mic22]

How did Simic engage the crowd? I wasn't there.
Barely saw the man... he spent all night in Boogard's pocket.

[evolution]

How did Simic engage the crowd? I wasn't there.

Gave a few sarcastic claps to the Eastern Grandstand toward the end of the game, nothing special.

[Couscous]

To those dissing the crowd, have a look at some of the other attendance figures for midweek ACL games. Well done, Jets fans.

[Jeterpool]

How did Simic engage the crowd? I wasn't there.

He flipped Bay 5 & 6 the bird at least once.


Barely saw the man... he spent all night in Boogard's pocket.

Perhaps he can say hi to Timmy while he's in there.

[Bajar]

As others said, flipping the bird, throwing his arms up, he bowed at one moment after making a tackle.

The bloke is an opposition player, accused of harassment (not for the first time either) and was clearly getting wound up by the booing.

Why the **** would we stop? You're the kind of bloke that would call someone a snowflake or a cuck yet you're having a cry about some footballer getting a few boos.

Newbie here, first post - please be gentle...

Welcome Bajar. As initiation - what are your thoughts on jet shaped hats? Are you pro, or very pro, towards the club introducing them?

[Frodo]

Although I'd love nothing more than to discuss Jet Shaped Hats as above.

Thought I'd better admit that Ridenton was easily man of the match last night. I slag him and Boogs off to no end but they both did well last night. Ridenton was the only one to wake up and realise we were playing against an NPL team and just ran at them, harried them, dribbled past them exactly as everyone else should have.

Dimi, Roy, Ronnie were honking. (though at least Ronnie has the quality to finish when he's playing badly)

welcome Bajar. Heads up, this is a trick question, the correct answer is "very, very pro".

No no no Bajar, Belchardo is the one trying to trick you.

The answer is, was, and always will be Griff.
