TALKING POINTS:

General

The Jets have lost at home to the Mariners twice in the last decade.
Newcastle have the chance to make it 6 consecutive victories against the Mariners.
Ben Kanatrovski is in line to make his 20th F3 derby appearance, equaling the Jets record held by Matt Thompson.
The Jets have scored 16 goals in the last 15 minutes of games against the Mariners – the most against any opposition they face.
Dimitri Petratos scored his 14th A-League goal for the Jets, moving him to 8th in overall Jets standings.
Nikolai Topor-Stanley is in line to make his 64th consecutive appearance for the Jets. This equals the mark from Matt Thompson, who is second overall behind Tarek Elrich (68). In those 63 matches, which span two stints at the club, Topor-Stanley has started every match and played every available minute – a total of 5670 minutes!!
Steven Ugarkovic is not far behind, being in line to make his 59th consecutive A-League appearance. This puts him 4th on the overall list behind Elrich, Topor-Stanley and Thompson.
A goal for Roy O’Donovan will put him equal with Joel Griffiths as the leading Jets goal scorers in the fixture on 6 goals.
A clean sheet will be the first time in over 6 years since the Jets kept 3 consecutive clean sheets.

[Jeterpool]

Went to the trouble of identifying a few talking points because it's the derby.

[MFKS]

Finally game 3 of the season is here

No excuses

These ****s dont deserve to be on the same football pitch as us

Time to thump them on the scoreboard in Newy

Lets focus on beating the Mariners, not turning on each other! :gent:

So we’ll have Champness, Vujica and Koutrombis all out and the possibility that Vargas won’t be fully fit

Only the Gypos - pick a few of the W League girls and create history.

[MFKS]

If we dont win this game Bert has to be sacked

Not trying to put pressure on ...


But the Gypos are ****ing shit

No excuses

Anything less than 3 points and Bert has to go

Anything less than 7 goals !

[The Dunster]

It's tragic what's become of BK as a keeper. He had a few very tough years which set his football back and he is nowhere near the keeper he once was.
Not a lot in front of him either which doesn't help but I don't think anyone can argue he's A-league standard anymore.
Would love to see him get back to where he once was as a keeper but I think he's day's ay this level must be coming to an end.

[Jetmaster]

Shit...we will have to deal with sacked coach bounce.

[Frodo]

Shit...we will have to deal with sacked coach bounce.

What, they might only concede 4 instead of 8?
Plus, what makes you think they'll have a coach by next week?

[Grimario]

Nick Montgomery will step up and act for the rest of the season me thinks. They won't get anyone in before that.

[Jetmaster]

Didn't say they would have a coach and yes I think we need to be careful with this one, for we are the Jets and nothing is ever certain..

Wonder if Aloisi would consider going back??? He would have to be mad.

Sorry, I thought your post was "new coach bounce".

Aloisi will take any position available to him. He won't fix any issues, but he would look great losing the plot every week.

[plague]

Nick Montgomery will step up and act for the rest of the season

technically he will be 'stepping down'.

head coach at that club is a demotion.

[Mark325]

Ideally Hutcho takes over, would make wins even sweeter if he was in charge

[380]

Nick Montgomery will step up and act for the rest of the season me thinks. They won't get anyone in before that.

I think he will also but don't be too sure his relationship is much better than that of Mulvey's with the playing group.

[The Dunster]

Was the sacking already decided or was the 8-2 loss what determined Mulveys fate?

[Jeterpool]

Was the sacking already decided or was the 8-2 loss what determined Mulveys fate?

I suggest it was the manner of the result.

absolute banana skin, nailed on to lose this, i will be betting up the gypos until i get a nosebleed

This is absolutely it..

Whenever we are heavy favourites, a team sacks their coach, they've just copped a belting, you just know we won't turn up and will gift them a win..

[baldrick]

The big issue is; which RAAF Jets are doing the fly past ?

Better not be those dodgy trainers.. :dry:

hey man, its almost election day. id be shocked if we dont get 30 FA/18's with flares and all manner of cool shit going on. no way some asshole is gonna skimp on the toys so close to the big day.

Even we aint capable of losing to these flogs

Jets at $1.01 or above
Get on it

Like printing money

[Jetmaster]

Just realised the knuckle draggers are back to rape and pillage the surface in possible wet weather on Friday night.

No doubt lots of green paint and sand patches will be the order of the day on Saturday.

Hate the changeover period.

Perhaps its a chance for our greatest ever import, the puddle, to return??

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Lose 100%. We will fold after dorpping three to the special kids down south and not making the 6 by these 3 points.

Betting the house and the dog on the scum so at least I'll be rich. Not happy, but rich. Money can buy happiness, right?

[plague]

Money can buy happiness, right?

money can buy cocaine and strippers.
cocaine and strippers make you happy.

[Superdylan]

We should win this by a few goals. Losing on saturday would be one of our losses of all game considering how shit the gypos are.

Have some faith ffs

[Jetmaster]

9/11/2007 v Perth

They had 11 games without a win, sacked Ron Smith, came here and handed our arses to us by 4-1. Famous for the Dura oggy.

These things can happen.

[MFKS]

The 3rd and final game of the season has arrived

Fire Up Newy

3 from 3

[Couscous]

8-2

[Couscous]

Maybe not 8-2

[StannyCFCJET]

They didnt tell us when the Jet would be flying over so half the crowd missed it. Lame

[MFKS]

What ??

Are they all tone deaf or something??

[StannyCFCJET]

What ??

Are they all tone deaf or something??

They normally annouce their incoming or something. This year was very half asked. Only 1 jet as well

[MFKS]

Bert has 45 mins to turn this shit around

Not ****ing good enough.

The opposition we got covered as they aint any good

But our front line aint in it

Roy has got to go

Not offering much at all

[StannyCFCJET]

Playing a CM at RW isnt helping

[belchardo]

Hopefully they'll start playing now.

[Hunter403]

Ridenton off. Some good news at last

[StannyCFCJET]

Embarrasing so far

[boz-monaut]

absolute banana skin, nailed on to lose this, i will be betting up the gypos until i get a nosebleed
check out Nostradamus over here

[weston]

Wow

[Hunter403]

Disgrace of the highest order. Dragged down to their level and beaten by experience. Terrible game

[Frodo]

Just got home. **** this club, hand our licence back now and save us all the embarassment.

[The Dunster]

Sack the lot of them.

[Hunter403]

We are pedestrian in attack and full of holes at the back

[belchardo]

Truly woeful.

[belchardo]

Better. Jets Players have to believe they are a chance of winning this after last week. I don't, but they should.

[belchardo]

Come on you bastards.

[Frodo]

What the hell Sheppard? There's a half a goal and you decide to pass it into the guy who's been laying in the same spot for 20 seconds instead of kicking into the open net??

[The Dunster]

5 mins xtra

[The Dunster]

Crazy George

[weston]

Are you kidding me

[Frodo]

WHO THE ****ING **** LET HIM TAKE THE 2ND PENALTY!!

**** this club, **** the pissweak mentality in this bunch. Get ****ed Ernie.

[The Dunster]

Boogs should take the penalties. Roy is terrible

[belchardo]

Jesus h christ

[Bremsstrahlung]

Agent Roy...

[The Dunster]

Roy obviously hasn't studied Griffo take a penalty. High and hard Roy. It's not rocket science u goose

[Frodo]

Not even.

I was just screaming at my TV. Pass it down the middle!

BK is obviously going to dive the same way. Only a dipshit would shoot the same way, on the ground, in the wet, not even close the post.



I am happy the finals are now out of reach. Need a break from this pack of idiots.

[380]

Chokers. In the games that count they go missing ie GF last season, The 6 point opportunity game v Nix at home recently and now today.

Roy missing the first 8 weeks has really messed with his head and cost us much needed competition points at the back end of the season. I think the A League has seen the best of what he has to offer.

It also worries me when Ernie speaks to the media talking our performances up more than they really are. If he is telling the players the same shit no wonder they fail so often to find that next gear with Ernie rubbing the bellies telling them everything is ok.

Dimi cough cough

[The Dunster]

Dimi cough cough

Dimi is clueless when it comes to keeping things simple. He takes too many touches and is always trying to make the highlights reels rather than just getting the job done.

[380]

Dimi cough cough

Without doubt Dimi has been very ordinary. Being flicked from National team group really screwed with his head. But this is also another issue that could have been sorted by Ernie and what i alluded to in my other post. All too often Ernie has refused to acknowledge issues and poor form. Every man woman and child inc those with white sticks and labs to help them get around could see Dimi was playing rubbish football. Simple give and go's have been lost to his game replaced with a bloke who thinks his name is on the ball and only he can play with it.. Ernie week after week refused to acknowledge this like a coach afraid to alienate a Snr player with a few truth bombs and bench him.

Trying to convince people with more than half a brain for the sport that Jackson is a professional footballer, FMD really Ernie ????.

I could go on and on particularly my annoyance at the club for there she'll be right til Roy returns attitude the first 8 weeks. And please don't anybody give me this crap about Jair was not fit enough to play up front as if that was the original plan. The plan was always Hoff and nothing against Hoff he was never the answer except to those at the club in charge of planning in Roy's absence. The club took the piss the first 8 weeks and it came back and bit them on the ass tonight.

[plague]

Anyone out there thinking Dimi is the prob aint watching the game.
Lost count of how many times he looked outside for the overlap tonight and no one was there.
the he looks up and sees no forward runs from Roy.
then he turns the other way and Ugabooga man is the only one open for a pass.
the **** you blokes want him to do?

Agree with you, but Dimi is off his standard at the moment

[Frodo]

Why are we talking about attackers?

We conceded 3 goals to these pricks. There's 5 players who shouldn't be playing next week purely out of shame. If I was those blokes I wouldn't even leaving the house this week.

[380]

They probably stopped making the runs because he never rewards them for it and proceeds to turn face backwards then turn in take 10 touches towards the middle of the park in a arching run and take a shot with all of the same accuracy the current Magic coach did. Almost taking the head off anybody not watching on the hill.

Lachie Jackson got 2 assists y'all want him to play 10?

geez its like some of you blokes dont realise we are in a 6th tier league.
Dimi is as good as we can get. but legit, start telling me all the 'better' options.

The reason Jackson got assists / freedom to move is because even the Mariners defence don't rate him enough to mark him.

Unfortunately, a lot of our attacking play in the 2nd half involved moving the ball to Jackson because he was free - and the Jets took the bait.

Bingo

They leave him open as he dont want to take them on and his first instinct is to give the ball to someone else


Plus it was Boogaard with the assist for Vargas goal not Jackson

Yes he takes too many touches and that is an issue but our side is actually lacking in blokes running

Jair does but he is trash
Champness does but he been injured all season
Georgievski offers it but he is a better fullback defensively than attacking
Hoffman offers it but we never played him there all season
Miller will add to it when he arrives

FFS this is how much we miss it Appiah provided more than the entire team in his cameo


Our coach has too many blokes putting a foot on it types in the middle of the park and we missing run to stretch opposition

Needs addressing
Roy has to go and we need to sign a striker with some pace

[mic22]

Classic situation in sport: just because you're the "best" team, you give your 60% because, you know, you will win somehow, someone will score, something will happen...
Then things go wrong, your opponents (as bad as they can be) are giving 110% and you start showing some urgency when it's too late.
Showing interest for 20 mins is not good enough. We don't deserve to play finals football. Embarrassing.

[Jetmaster]

True....lets be honest. Even if we got the draw it was 2 vital points dropped.

[The Dunster]

Anything less than four nil against the Gypos is a loss in my book.
We had defensive issues and the Gypo's managed to exploit them on three occasions.

Bottom line is we have no excuses for the shit show we put on tonight.

[StannyCFCJET]

Tonight made me more angry then the GF loss

[plague]

the 3rd goal was reason enough to sack the coach, the CEO and ring Middleby up and sack him again just for the sake of it.

[380]

Two games at home this season are real standouts for all the wrong reasons for mine. The Nix game and this one were really disappointing and leave you wondering just how these players mentally prepare for a game. This team is a dead set Jekyll and Hyde mob this season capable of some great entertaining football and then they put in efforts like they did in those two games.

[q-money]

absolute banana skin, nailed on to lose this, i will be betting up the gypos until i get a nosebleed
hope you all got on at the juicy juicy 8s

[Bon]

Tonight made me more angry then the GF loss

Absolutely...
I had no illusions that we would ever play finals football this year, but I didn't want to lose to the fvcking gypos..
Surely a lot of us have been around long enough to know it was coming. These are the games we fvck up. I heard people before the game going "Oh we will win with double figures".. Fvck me, don't you know this club??..

I wish we HAD just lost 3-0... I could handle just being cranky about a shithouse performance..
But to then have hope and to miss the way we did..

As someone said, we've only got ourselves to blame.

[Mark325]

i'll tell you what this adds some fire to this derby thats been lost lately, next season if we dont go out there and **** them up i'll be pissed

[traffic light]

Dont even worry.

Just means they push the VB long neck with a blow fly in a couple extra inches.

[plague]

anyone who didnt realise we were toast the second that lame ass single jet flyover happened needs to go read up on the Jets history.
Gypo Middleby has finally succeeded in embarrassing us with the same kind of penny pinching bullshit he made famous down in scumland.
easliy the darkest day in the clubs existence yesterday. what a joke that bloke is.

If Mr Lee isnt already sending in the troops to get that wanker to clear out his desk then he can go get ****ed too.

imagine being the club that only gets a single Jet flyover.
what a joke.

Looking forward to next years yellow and blue strip and the team changing its name to North Gosford Jets.
everyone in the clubs front office needs to be sacked.

then fold the whole damn thing.

[Jetmaster]

What jet???

Like many others we took up King Gypos offer of sitting in the Upper Griffiths Stand to get out of the rain.

Heard alot of noise but saw no jet.

[Jeterpool]

I can't find any details on when the 5 yellow cards equating to a week off is extended (if it is - because it was last year around this time), however Boogaard's booking was his 5th this season so he will be getting a rest next match.

2nd Best news to come out of this game.

The first being finals football is now not happening again and we are back to where we should be.

[Jeterpool]

I can and can't believe we lost that on the weekend. Something is troubling me about the team, and that's their ability to step up and deliver when the pressure is on. We need a result yet we don't turn up when.

Don't get me wrong, we turn up on occasions and we create a chance to get a big result the following week but when it's critical we seem to struggle. Last weekend, Adelaide Rd 20, Nix Rd 18,

I think the Nix are clear, City are on the verge of it because they picked up 3 points I didn't expect them too. It's just Adelaide - and the draw against them in Round 20 is going to prove costly.

[The Dunster]

When you have an owner / boss looking to cut costs everywhere they can it destroys worker / player morale.

It doesn't make people play harder / better - it makes them depressed.

Martin Lee needs to go.

Are we certain that's happening? What are some examples locally, because other than the article claiming he was in trouble due to the America/Chain trade and selling Shenzen I can't site any others.

Yes, Lawrie has said he's committed to the club and that it affects him overseas (as you expect it would) but I'm happy to be corrected.

Add in no longer naming sponsor or Portuguese 2nd Division, recent jets signings being downgrades rather than upgrades in player skill ... and so on.

We had a chance to bring in a replacement for Nabbout / McGree but instead of going for someone proven - we rolled the dice on a player that's been out of sorts with a former club, and another that's been out of form for several years and doing poorly in an inferior league [Chinese 2nd Division].

There's absolutely nothing happening to prove that the ship isn't sinking.

The real test will be what we do with Vargas and O'Donovan. I'd be shocked if we offered their replacement as much coin let alone more.

Instead, they will be replaced with cheaper options and most likely less talented ones as well.

[plague]

Are we certain that's happening? What are some examples locally

errrrr, how many Jets you count up in the sky on Saturday boss?

wouldnt shock me if the Gypo redesigned our badge to only have one jet next season so he can keep skimping on the flybys.

Lee out, discrace.

[plague]

also, this 'share price' excuse.
Ledmans company peaked in April 2016, (roughly 2 months before buying the Jets) and has been on the decline since then.
This #fakenews 'Trump' issue is just some bullshit that his lackies (i.e. Gypo CEO) have used as s smokescreen.
Its also about 25% up from 12 months ago, when everything seemed to be fine fine and ok.



any one of you that believes a word out of that Gypos mouth is a fool.

errrrr, how many Jets you count up in the sky on Saturday boss?

wouldnt shock me if the Gypo redesigned our badge to only have one jet next season so he can keep skimping on the flybys.

Lee out, discrace.

Was up in the stand and couldn't see them - take your word.

Speaking of re-design I believe Lawrie announced in the executive lounge at the game the Jets logo will be re-designed next season.

I can't find any details on when the 5 yellow cards equating to a week off is extended (if it is - because it was last year around this time), however Boogaard's booking was his 5th this season so he will be getting a rest next match.

i thought it was a couple of weeks ago. i remember watching a nix game i think and they were saying "if he avoids a card this week, it goes up to 8 to get suspended".

So if we re designing our badge what we want on it??

Need something to really encapsulate the basket case of a club appropriately

Steaming pile of shit might be the ticket
