Wait? There's football?




Def loose. But somehow Wellington will also lose and we'll still be a mathematical shot of making the finals.

[boz-monaut]

loose, fold club, kill all players, their kids, kill their wives, kill their parents and their parents' friends, burn down the houses they live in and the stadium they play in, kill people that owe them money

With every post, the demand for a podcast grows.

[MFKS]

This has nailed on win

You know these cunce are just the type to string us along to Rd 27 before their finals aspirations are dashed

What better way than responding to a loss to an NPL team than to beat the team who put 8 past them a couple of weeks ago away from home where we never ever win

Nailed on Classic Jets coming up

[sorefootballer]

I want to feel that there is still some hope left. The struggle is real

[Jetmaster]

Will lose but will still be a chance if we win 4 of our last 3 games.

Finding it really hard to care after that result against the Gypos. Also got a really bad feeling last season was a one off and it's back to being the second shittest team after the gypos. Why can't we have a consistent normal club

Because there are clubs in this overrated league who plan for each season to win the bloody thing and then there are clubs like ours who plan for a season with this half assed best of the rest just do enough mentality. And with no second tier comp to get punted to that is good enough for us apparently.

Agreed.

[monz6]

Wow we are back to blaming us again, not the FFA and Sydney FC and var and commentators who are mean to us and Sydney FC and var and commentators who don’t like us and Melbourne teams. I can’t keep up. Jets 5-0 in this one. Bridges to score another volley like that one back in two thousand and whatever. Go newy

It's always our own fault always has been

[The Dunster]

Absolutely no chance of beating Wellington.

[Tommyjet]

Lose, let the offseason rumours intensify

[The Dunster]

Hoffman needs to be dropped - his work rate is so shit the past month or so he might as well not show up.:gent:

[Jetmaster]

In these critical games we need to look to our marquee man to do what he is paid to do.....

And Birraz isn’t even playing

[The Dunster]

These sheep shagga commentators sound like they are calling a rugby game

[Retro Jet]

Fook mi! It didn't even shave the post.
Another VISA spot vacant, please.

[belchardo]

Excellent communication in the backline

[MFKS]

FFS

How high and wide do these blokes think the goals are??

Jair
Johnny K
Lachlan Jackson

All missed the target from the baby line

[belchardo]

**** this season all the way to hell and back.

[Retro Jet]

Game over. Hattrick ffs?
Match highlight? Seeing Jeterpool across the detch...

[foti68]

I would love to see the Nix win this comp, and then the A-League would really be the laughing stock of world football

[Retro Jet]

Yeah...righto ya sheep shaggin wanna be's.
Just make sure you do it against the other sh!@t clubs in the semi's.

[MFKS]

Gee whiz Plague



Your mate Ugarkovic has been ****ing honking today


Absolute garbage

Blokes should be swimming home with Boogaard keeping him company

[The Dunster]

I'd rather listen to Rammstein with Frodo than watch the Jets.

[The Dunster]

Ernie will be looking for a new job soon. No way can this shit continue unless Lee is unable to afford removing him.

[380]

The season is finishing in exactly the same manner as it started for those first 8 weeks, Totally half assed dysfunctional.

None of those clubs who always finish in and around the top three the likes of the Smurfs and Victory would have allowed the shit show that was us for the first 1/3 of the season. After a great season and plenty to build on both on and off the field Lawrie and co chose to roll the dice and the result is where we are. Management got what they deserve for there lack of planning for Roy's absence but unfortunately the supporters got screwed in the process.

No other club with fair dinkum aspirations to a top 3 or 4 spot would have pissed the first 8 weeks away like this club did.

To be fair though we gonna piss the other 19 away too

[380]

You are right but that mentality and approach the club had for the first 8 weeks where they thought they could cruise with stop gap measures was a piss take.

You plan properly for that almost first third of the season with a total of 24 points up for grabs and say you can snatch 8-12 points on offer and an even better bonus the prospect you jagged those points off clubs we have been chasing and hoping to jump to get in the top 6 and all of a sudden the season and our position on the ladder reflects where our ambition and proper planning based on last season efforts should have been.

[Couscous]

Really sorry, but I missed this game.

[Jetmaster]

First one I missed this season.....thank phark.

[Frodo]

I'd rather listen to Rammstein with Frodo than watch the Jets.

Haha, love it Dunster.


I didn't watch the game other than a few 5 minute periods so can't comment about how honking we were, but....


We conceded a hat trick of goals to a 31 yr old David ****ing Williams. That is one of the most insulting things that could happen to a football team and I bet we not only deserved it, but won't do anything to fix it.

[sorefootballer]

I agree Frodo

[Jeterpool]

Game over. Hattrick ffs?
Match highlight? Seeing Jeterpool across the detch...

My highlight too. Despite the result we went and had fun singing at the Churchill Pub until the wee hours.

Credit to the players, they came over and they looked emotionally wrecked. I was concerned they weren't coming over because Moss stood halfway between the halfway and 18 yard box and gave us a clap and salute then walked away. It was Boogaard that grabbed them all and led the way over to us.

We were having a similar discussion yesterday. We gambled on getting by in the first 8 rounds (based heavily on getting further in the FFA cup too) but that fell over. Roy returns, and it turns out he isn't the saviour we thought he would be. Jair doesn't deliver and our confidence across the board starts to dimish.

We were playing catch up from far too early on.

The draw has been odd this year, but when we needed to take advantage of a run of home fixtures, we haven't. That's our fault.

It's the inability to step up when challenged this year that worries me. Oh, and how shit we've been at finishing. Our style turned into one of trying to hold the ball and break the opposition down from the very successful counter-attacking style.

We looked far better when Joey got on the field. Why is that? He is quick, he is skillfull and he is direct. His injury hurt us more than Roy's suspension which at the time I don't think may would have predicted. The kid needs to start the rest of the year.

[Frodo]

Just watched the highlights, lol.

Please Fold The Club Mr Lee and put us out of our misery. Buy us all a jet shaped hat each, fold the club and I'll love you forever.

[Jeterpool]

Was the penalty call bullshit VAR again? It was hard to see at the stadium but it appeared first contact was outside the area. I certainly thought he went down outside the area.

[Jeterpool]

And you know what, I thought we did ok in the first half after the goal. We certainly had our chances.

Listening to Ernie post game, it is the first time he has admitted we aren't making the finals.

Well in boogs. The least we expect is thanking the fans

Fixed mate

[belchardo]

i didn't have a problem with the overturn, provided that VAR has camera angles not shown on the fox feed. I thought the ref was in a good position to see it, and therefore it couldn't be considered a clear and obvious error.

having said that, i thought it was in the box.

[evolution]

It was Boogaard that grabbed them all and led the way over to us.

He did the same thing in Perth. Say what you want about the guy on the field but at least he gives a shit about the fans that put themselves through their performances every week.

[Alton]

Boogs is finished and he has some mates, in an ideal world I would only keep 3 or 4, all the J's can go, Jackson, Johnny and Jair, Roy is a back up at best now as is Kanta, it was frustrating to watch only one bloke having a go and he is leaving the club !!

I think the level of change you are suggesting is rather ambitious for one off-season, particularly as we would need to replace them

[MFKS]

I think the level of change you are suggesting is rather ambitious for one off-season, particularly as we would need to replace them

But there in lies our problem

Bert and Gypo CEO have tied us down to so many of these guys long term

The last 2 weeks Topor has been woeful just after we gave him a 2 years deal at 35 FFS

We gave Moss and Italiano new contracts. Are we unable to find a better keeper than these 2??

We resigned Boogaard for next season before a ball had been kicked this year
Boogaard cost us 2.5 goals on Saturday
The pen he needlessly gave away the tap in he spurned from 4 yards and he was involved with the 30 seconds in **** up
Says plenty that in a must win game the manager hooked our captain to chase the game

So our 2 CDs and GK are old guys

That an area we actually need some improvements in and we already locked them in for next year FFS
