how's pascoe the goon, trialling sydney players but won't give lundy a run in the big boys squad
at least put the kid in the deep end for a week and see if he sinks or swims, can't be any worse than the blokes that are out there now
Solari on the bench because our goalkeeper coach/former always-injured player did his knee, and our two assistant coaches forced to run the keepers :rof::rof::rof::oops:
I was under the impression that our goalkeeper coach was a squad player because he didn't have his badges to sit on the bench
Did anyone else get the club survey? Took great pleasure in voicing my view on the coach and owner in "any other comments" section

Admittedly the bloke has gone well in the last month but seriously we need more and signing him would be like shooting ourselves in the foot

Missed @Newcastleherald 1st edition. @SydneyFC boss Graham Arnold confirms Andrew Hoole at Sky Blues 2015."Can't wait to get hands on him"
Aftee last night made it clear he can not play on the left. Several times last night he would get past the defender only to let the defender back goal side so Hoole could put the on his right foot.
I was hopeful that he may change his mind and stay. Now we have 6 games left and he should not be in squad for any of those games, time for Lundy to get some game time.

CHIEF executive Mitchell Murphy is confident Jets players and staff wages will be paid on time this month as work on a plan to refinance the embattled club continues.
Retail giant Gerry Harvey confirmed to the Newcastle Herald on Sunday that he had lent Jets owner Nathan Tinkler $1 million last month.
He said he had not asked why Tinkler needed the money but added: "He could be paying the Jets, wages, interest, solicitors. I've got no idea."
The Jets' finances have been in the spotlight since Football Federation Australia issued Tinkler with a show-cause notice on February 2 over unpaid debts.
A portion of those liabilities have since been paid.
But Tinkler has still not paid an estimated $400,000 in superannuation to Jets players and staff and reportedly also owes the Australian Tax Office about $2 million, prompting the ATO to garnish the monthly grant FFA provides the Newcastle franchise.
Without the FFA grant, worth $2.55 million to every club paid in monthly instalments, the club's ability to pay its players has been stretched to the limit. Players and staff received their monthly wages 48 hours late in February.
Their next pay day is on March 15.
When asked if he envisaged similar dramas paying wages this month, Murphy replied: "No. We have a plan that we have been working on to refinance the club.

"That plan is progressing well, but we are not at the finish line yet.
"Our members and fans can be assured that we have profound attention on resolving those financial obligations. We are in open dialogue with FFA to ensure they know where we are at in that process."
Murphy said the plan was holistic.
"There is no priority ranking," he said. "We want to resolve all our obligations."
Meanwhile, exiled senior players Billy Celeski and Adrian Madaschi are no closer to having their exits finalised.
The former Socceroos were among five players Tinkler declared more than five weeks ago had been sacked.
"It is fair to say I don't see a change in the status quo," Murphy said. "They will continue to train with the squad as per the regulations with the PFA and we will continue to honour their salary on a monthly basis as per the guidelines of payment."
It is a similar situation with David Carney, who, unlike Celeski and Madaschi, has a year to run on his contract.
"His agent is liaising with our football operations manager," Murphy said.
Hope I get my flight home next Sunday from Melbourne is the one the team is on.
Might ask a few of them if they have been paid yet. :rof:

BRANDON Lundy left Hunter Sports High in year 10 to work in his father’s tiling business.
In doing so, the winger gave up his place in the school’s elite football program.
Although without access to coaching resources and a competitive environment, Lundy’s desire burned strong.
After work each day he would head to a local oval to train before earning a spot in the Jets youth team.
Impressed by Lundy’s speed and athleticism, then coach Gary van Egmond invited the 16-year-old to train with the A-League squad.
It took the best part of two seasons, but the 18-year-old finally made his A-League debut last weekend, playing nine minutes after coming off the bench in the 1-0 loss to Sydney FC.
‘‘I was excited and a little nervous,’’ Lundy said.
‘‘The nine minutes seemed to be over in a flash, but I felt like I ran a full game because I was that pumped.’’
Lundy, who as a young teenager travelled to Sydney during the week to train with the Football NSW junior program, is the latest in a string of youngsters to be given a chance as the Jets start rebuilding.

Fellow attacker Braedyn Crowley made his debut in the final moments of the 1-1 draw with Wanderers last month, Radovan Pavicevic has six appearances off the bench and defender Nick Cowburn has four, including two starts.
Lundy, who was signed as an apprentice, has a year remaining and Pavicevic recently inked a two-year deal.

The Jets have used 31 players this campaign. With seven games to play, including the trip to Melbourne City on Saturday, the young guns will get more opportunities.
‘‘We want to see them have an impact when they play,’’ Jets coach Phil Stubbins said. ‘‘We know the experience is not with them, and we are trying to provide them with that.
‘‘They have an opportunity between now and the end of the season to showcase that they are a) able to step up, and b) providing those effective outcomes we are in need of.’’
Pavicevic, the youth team player of the year last season, opened his goal-scoring account in the 2-1 loss to Brisbane and has been a threat late in games.
‘‘Radovan has scored goals and looked dangerous,’’ Stubbins said. ‘‘Credit to him, he continually works hard on the track to advance his efforts.
‘‘He is a kid who first and foremost has determination in his game. He is hungry to do well. He needs time to improve and we have given him that.’’
Lundy was close to earning a call-up to the bench last season. This campaign has been hindered by a minor knee issue, but he is now injury free.
‘‘There are setbacks involved for kids,’’ Stubbins said.
‘‘Brandon hadn’t played until we put him on the other night.
‘‘For any kids trying to make it in the game, without handling setbacks they are not going to make it.
‘‘Physically he is a very good specimen. He has speed and can get past and beyond players. It is one thing to do that, but there also needs to be an end product.’’
Lundy, though buoyed by his debut, understands that his spot is far from secure.
‘‘Sometimes it is frustrating, but you just have to bide your time,’’ he said. ‘‘I know I’m young and have time on my hands. The only goal I have is to turn up to training every day and improve.’’
Give Gardiner a bit of attention on Twitter asking why Lundy ain't in the team.
Next game he has him playing and then is doing puff pieces on the bloke.
That worked well

REVIEWING a draft heat policy for the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility is among the first assignments for Northern NSW Football’s new chief medical officer.
NNSWF announced on Tuesday that Dr Ross Cairns had taken on the honorary position, which Football Federation Australia has told all member federations to create.
The appointment came a week after National Premier League coaches and players expressed concern about heat coming off the artificial surfaces at Speers Point during a round of FFA Cup games.
NNSWF chief executive David Eland then rejected suggestions the synthetic pitches could be a factor in injuries.
Eland said on Tuesday that the appointment was not a reaction to the issues and that he had first met with Dr Cairns about the position midway through last year.
‘‘I’ve been talking to Ross for a long time, but unfortunately the process has taken a lot longer than we both had hoped because the FFA’s chief medical officer [Dr Jeff Steinweg] resigned at the back end of last year,’’ Eland said.
‘‘And it just took the FFA some time to appoint their new chief medical officer, Dr Mark Jones.’’
Jones was announced as the FFA head of medical services on August 28 last year.
The directive for member federations to appoint chief medical officers was an initiative of Dr Steinweg, and Eland was pleased to have a local physician to call on for advice.
‘‘I’m not sure where other member federations are up to, but it’s a good appointment for us because he will certainly be a great reference point for us when we start to develop policies,’’ he said.
‘‘Rather than just relying on FFA, we’ll have someone here on the ground who can help us with putting together our policies and procedures.
‘‘He’s currently reviewing the draft heat policy, as an example, and they are the types of policies he will provide guidance on.’’
Dr Cairns is a sports and exercise medicine physician based at Newcastle Sports Medicine and has worked with the Central Coast Mariners, Newcastle Knights, the Australian under-17 soccer team and the Hunter Academy of Sport.
He has been involved with the Special Olympics and the Asian Cup.
‘‘His appointment will also add weight to our elite programs,’’ Eland said. ‘‘He will provide valuable advice on screening for young athletes and injury prevention.’’

Rumors in the Twitter land that Kerem Bulut has been charged by the Police.
Never saw that coming.
Can away support focus on winding up Kerem Bulut when we go to Parramatta?
Will definitely be more fun than watching a bottom of the table clash
Heard it was around a dozen on one :lulzturtle:
