[Bremsstrahlung]

Are the Victorian teams playing? Or do they need to isolate for a while longer?

[belchardo]

showing as TBC at the moment on the a-league site.

[belchardo]

Well we've lost the Wellington game to Sydney for some reason. Only one home game now.

[Jeterpool]

Well we've lost the Wellington game to Sydney for some reason. Only one home game now.

Sidney will finally be able to see some good football

[380]

Well we've lost the Wellington game to Sydney for some reason. Only one home game now.

Yep only the gooses running the game could come up with such a stupid brainless idea as to shift a Newcastle home game to Sydney to play Wello where neither team will draw a crowd.

Finances are not the only thing light on at FFA HQ, clearly brains and common sense is in short supply

[mic22]

27in35

[Jetmaster]

Last game - "if" we were to win the first three it could mean that being a must win to get in the six, ensuring a "capacity" crowd.

Have we been given a reason yet?

[380]

Not that i am aware of JM. I don't do the facebook twitter thing but perhaps somebody who does can ask the Gypo CEO what logic FFA used to play a game at a neutral venue when there are no restrictions in place to play the game at one of the competing teams home ground.

[Couscous]

Why five substitutes? The A-League it's necessary because the players are involved in so many games so quickly. But the schedule is hardly packed.

Five substitutes is not football; it's a new ball sport.

[My2BobsWorth]

Just because the witch whore says its ok to go to football games doesn't mean it's safe. Stay home stay safe, fuk the jets

How, after several months off, has grant not improved his haircut? Or somebody not held him down and shaved his head?

[belchardo]

VAR helping Sydney by not being there.

[turbojetfireV8]

Well we've lost the Wellington game to Sydney for some reason. Only one home game now.

Did we get a plausible explanation at all? Nix Round 24 was a home game for us all along, seems like we are actually being disadvantaged by FFA for no valid reason, may as well be a Nix home game now...

[belchardo]

Wow that was some terrible keeping.

[belchardo]

COVID protocols. Members were sent a email

COVID protocols. Members were sent a email

Legit question. Just what protocols do you think the FFA have taken into account to stop a team traveling to Newcastle from Sydney. Anybody who believes the BS from FFA is a goose.

To the best of my knowledge there are no restrictions between Sydney and Newcastle. The decision was garbage from people who are meant to have the games best interest at the forefront. At a time when the sport is on its knees it should have and could have been played up here.

Whilst ever this game is steered by dickheads at FFA HQ football has no hope in this country.

Thats just what we were told, Ive got no idea the inner workings of these things.

[380]

Nah i get that. But what we have been told is not even remotely close to any truth.

There are no circumstances that currently exist imposed by the state government in regards to covid protocols that makes it ok for one game to be played here and not the other.


The FFA need to be called out for it by supporters also. Once again O Rourke and co have demonstrated how from day one they have been getting schooled by Gill McLachlan and Pete V Landy's. Those two real sports administrators would do whatever it takes to play a match in front of as many people as possible while our administrative numpties move a perfectly playable game to a venue where no home crowd will exist.

Gooses should be ashamed to put there hand out for a wage.

[furns]

Personally I reckon that by the time that Wellington game comes around, we will be back under some sort of lockdown anyway

[My2BobsWorth]

Exactly, the number of sydney people in this area at this time is a major problem. The witch has stuffed it and we will probably go back to full lockdown soon

[belchardo]

Any chance you can stop calling women "witch"?

[Couscous]

Who is the witch?

[boz-monaut]

Any chance you can stop calling women "witch"?

agree on this - it makes you look like a bit of a sexist dickhead

save that language for shouting at the television or beating off after listening to Alan Jones grandad

[The Dunster]

Watched Perf vs Gypos. Gypos were terrible for 70 mins but did ok last 20 mins.
The ref though did the coast no favours. Perth got away with a lot of fouls and holding on and off the ball. Gypos basically gave away a free kick for the same tackles / efforts.
If we can't beat them on friday then they need to fold the club.

Grandad? You guys seem to be stuck in a chronic masturbation phase of life. You need to move into the real world. Follow the book of Alan

Careful - I'm pretty conservative myself and I know that it's an argument you can't win on here, especially in the current environment. You'll get "cancelled"! :wink:

[StannyCFCJET]

Dimi on the bench hmm

[380]

Just when does the Patratos Family deal expire and has Robbo identified a Marquee # 10 for next season ?

[Hunter403]

Dimi on the bench hmm

Interesting choice. Be interesting to know the reasoning.

[The Hacker]

Interesting choice. Be interesting to know the reasoning.

Joe Ledley on the bench is worse. Bloke comes back for 4 games so play him

[Jetmaster]

Last nights result really makes it must win...none of this lose " but we can still get there".

[q-money]

have we lost yet?

[The Dunster]

Fitzgerald as shit as Dimi with corner delivery

[The Dunster]

Ibini is doing well so far.

[belchardo]

He's playing very deep

[The Dunster]

We need the inflatable shark.

[belchardo]

Bit too easy

[Jeterpool]

have we lost yet?

Not yet

[The Dunster]

Woeful defence. Ball watching masterclass ffs

[Jeterpool]

We look alright.

They look better

[Jeterpool]

Slipping over alot tonight. They still wearing uggboots?.

[The Dunster]

I dont think bombing crosses to a lone striker is going to trouble wilkinson and co too much.

[The Hacker]

Ibini looks good as a positive

[Jeterpool]

Even though he's a striker, I'm never convinced in Roy's finishing ability. Needed to finish that.

Grant going off is massive for us too

[boz-monaut]

We ask for an examination of the grassland that was not suitable for the Newcastle team, while Sydney players seem to be wearing shoes that cling to the long grass, so we saw Newcastle players fall during the game, while Sydney's players are steady.

[The Dunster]

We are too predictable in attack.

[boz-monaut]

We are too predictable in attack.
in that it's obvious we're not going score

[Jeterpool]

We are too predictable in attack.

We shouldn't be. Dimi is on the bench

[Mark325]

Take fitzy off at haf time for dimi, he's been a step behind this whole game so far

[Jeterpool]

Take fitzy off at haf time for dimi, he's been a step behind this whole game so far

agree

[Jeterpool]

In all seriousness not a bad half. We're still in this.

[The Dunster]

Is O'toole playing in dunlop volleys?

[380]

How much did Boogs have on Caceras being first scorer tonight ?.

[The Dunster]

In all seriousness not a bad half. We're still in this.

Only if Ninkavic doesn't get a run

[Jeterpool]

That celebration from Caceres...is his wife pregnant or did she get a boob job?

[Jeterpool]

Can't make this shit up.

Deadset pissed the football gods off somehow

[The Dunster]

Our inability to turn chances into goals continues.
We will lose.

[Jetmaster]

Dunno what's funnier...the ongoing wankfest of the Smurf TV commentary or eternsl gloom of us lot.

[Mark325]

****ing Nick Fitzgerald

[The Hacker]

Take fitzy off at haf time for dimi, he's been a step behind this whole game so far

I’d leave him on 😂

[The Dunster]

Fitzgerald !!!!!!!

[Jeterpool]

Nick Fitzgerald is the epitome of a Jets player.

Can pull off the occasional specular but often suckles with the quality in the basics.

A well deserved goal for the team

[Mark325]

I still think he should be hooked but yeah it's moments like that that have the casual facebook lot calling for dudes like him to get more game time

[The Dunster]

Lol@ Zullo dummy spit at getting subbed. Bloody sook

[StannyCFCJET]

I still think he should be hooked but yeah it's moments like that that have the casual facebook lot calling for dudes like him to get more game time

If he gets consistency under Robbo then I'm all for it

[The Dunster]

Dimi has been woeful so far. He's giving aeay the ball far to easily

[Jeterpool]

Sydney getting plenty of soft calls

[StannyCFCJET]

Dimi slows down the play too much

[Jeterpool]

I wish there was a commentary mute option.

Sick of hearing everyone praising Sydney. One thing I haven't missed during shut down

[The Dunster]

Our subs haven't made a positive impact.
Season over.

[The Hacker]

Our subs haven't made a positive impact.

Until now

[Jeterpool]

What!?!?!

[The Dunster]

The work experiece kid done good

[Jeterpool]

Never in doubt

[Mark325]

How ****ing good

[Jeterpool]

A rare win after being behind at half time

Grant substitution major turning point

[Frodo]

FFA FC can suck an unlimited supply of doodles. Hope City beat them next week just to continue to screw over the commentators wanking them off even though they played like dogshit and deserved to lose that game.

No idea who scored that first goal, I'm going to assume it was Wessi and carry on with my life happier, but why can be do that and not make a 6 yard pass?

[The Hacker]

I thought we deserved that. Great first up run. The gaffer doing a top job

[Jetkel]

A rare win after being behind at half time

100%. In fairness though, he’s 3 levels above any other fullback in the competition. Terrific player.

Great win though. Great tactics by Robbo, controlled the majority of the game & 2 brilliantly taken goals.

He wasn’t great tonight but he was still involved in the majority of good in attack despite his errors. He & Miller are the only ones who are positive with the ball & actually move off the ball as well.

[Jetmaster]

Can pull off the occasional specular but often suckles with the quality in the basics.

WTF, does someone understand Jeterspeak??

Just noted Speed and Slater couldn't bring themselves to say Redmayne "should've saved that".

[Jeterpool]

Struggles with quality of*

Sheesh! Honestly swipe typing often misses the mark combined with autocorrect

[pv4]

Just noted Speed and Slater couldn't bring themselves to say Redmayne "should've saved that".

They certainly were looking for literally any excuse as to why Redmayne just watched it go by as it brushed his laces.

I have usually been fairly critical of Thurgate but that was the best game I have seen him play for us.

The contributions Fitz has been bringing the last few games are exactly what I thought he would bring to us, and I am excited for the guy.

Worth noting Fitz cops a lot for the mistakes and wasteful chances he does, yet we all (inc commentators) seem happy to let Bernie Ibini be just as if not more wasteful yet excuse him. I am incredibly critical of Ibini, I find it inexcusable that he won't last more than 70 minutes (I strongly believe even if we weren't playing Friday he would have been subbed off) and really, the dude just does a whole lot of Mitch Austin style running in a straight line to either sky-high some stupid decision or just run it over a line. His one good contribution for every 20 mistakes aren't worth it in my eyes, and I would be stoked to use the money for him elsewhere if we are considering retaining him (as we know he doesn't come cheap).

I am realy liking the increased confidence our backline and Stevie are playing with under Carl. We'll make some mistakes along the way, seemingly all from JohnnyK :oops: but it is a very positive and forward thinking vibe that is currently paying off and is more exciting than most of the season prior.

In the post match interview Fitzgerald wasn't happy with how he played.

Ibini is levels above the rest of our attackers, How can you not see that?

[Jardelsimage]

on the big sports breky show this morning Slater said this
"Sydney were beaten by a better side" and "Newcastle deserved the win" i nearly choked on my cornflakes!

[Jeterpool]

We looked good last night. We looked good under Carl before lock down.

I'm not used to this. I'm waiting to get hurt....again.

[Jeterpool]

on the big sports breky show this morning Slater said this

I imagine his commentary team colleague would have taken a different view. Probably one along the lines of "It's un-Australian. Sydney don't deserve to be treated like this and the FFA should come down hard on the Jets for the disgraceful act of not worshipping the ground Sydney play on".

[The Dunster]

84.6% pass accuracy for the Jets with 15 shots, six of which were on target.
Sydney with only one shot on target were never really in the game and were probably flattered by the final score.
In saying that, we've lost on the back of those types of impressive stats before - but I think defensively under Carl we are a completely different team.

A mate just sent me a link to a stat that someones sent to the Jets supporters page (Not sure if the bloke posts on here or not)
I wanted to check with our resident stats legend Jeterpool to see if there is any legitimacy to it..
Apparently the Mariners are on 11 connected losses atm, and if we win tonight, it gives them the record of most losses in a row in the A-League?

Not too sure mate. Looked on Ultimate A-League and couldn't see it on there.

Apparently there is a "melbourne derby" on tonight. 75km between geelong and melbourne last time i looked.

Anyone see Mitch Duke's attempt to dismember Ziggy Gordon last night? Disgraceful display from Duke equalled only by the ineptitude of the match official
