If the Jets were to become successful again I probably still wouldn't bother attending games either because I don't think the magic of the first three seasons will ever be repeated.
To be successful on a shoestring budget against teams with huge budgets and everything in their favor just doesn't seem possible anymore.
Overall, I think when Con was shown the door the FFA should have had the balls to simply end the franchise rather than try and revive a corpse.

With current the owner already bringing in a Chinese player with no pedigree of any note - I don't think Jones is going to ever get what he needs but I'm sure when everything does turn to shit he will be the first one blamed.

The less said about having a Gypo as CEO the better.

'Putting in a shift' = 'quantity over quality of physical output'.

Man we went through this 'good engines' bullshit with GVE and he failed in that approach.

I want a team of footballers who play football and a coach who's emphasis is winning every game he coaches.

Go ahead and celebrate your centre back kicking crap out of a striker to 'let him know he's in a game' I'll take Piques skill any day.

Go ahead and celebrate your GPS data telling me who ran more in a game, I'll take Pirlo's lazy* ass every day of the week.

Enjoy your football guys, just let me one day dream of seeing mine.




*hed still be fitter than everyone in this Foz.

"Putting a shift in' has nothing to do with ones engine.

Its about putting in effort.

I don't know where you're getting this kick the snit out of people bullshit from either. btw Barca are a bunch of play acting cheating ****wits.

Oh man you are sounding like a bloke that lost a lot of money on that damn Hare and still haven't gotten over it.

My interpretations of 'putting in a shift' etc are 'my' definitions. You take what you will out of them but unless there is a 'terrible football cliche' dictionary then I gather we can freely interpret.

and yes when I watch Barca play that's EXACTLY my same takeaway.
Almost unbearable to watch isn't it.

The Herald reporting our coach wants us to show more mongrel.

A problem area over the last few seasons has been our discipline. We've never actually finished a season with fewer cards than our opposition. As a result I always felt we were gettign the rough end of the stick with referees.

This season we've only been shown 4 yellow cards. This is good, as the threat of suspension doesn't hang over our already injury-ravaged squad. DEspite this, I think we have bene lucky with a few challenges that could have, but didn't, receive a booking

So instead of saying privately to the team "put a bit more of a boot in" he comes out and says it in the media. The media the referees will be made aware of. The referees who will be officiating our match.

FFS - do we think before we speak!?! Let's just go and create more of a rod for our back.

Could not agree more. We'll probably demonstrate our mongrel inside our penalty box!

And as if we havent been the target from over zealous Referees in the past guarentee Boogs to get sent off now

But wait wait wait aren't all you fans clamouring for more mongrel?

I'd rather more passing, more movement and more attacking football but yeah sure mongrel should fix it.

God damnit the day President Trump comes in and outlaws these bullshit football cliches will be the best day ever.

Must be others

The only is the lack of pressure we put on other teams when they have the ball. Alot of games we let them stroll towards our goal and fire a shot

My mans out there lurking knowing who I'm talking about.

He'd be sent off after the first 2x yellows. How is he going to cop the extra 4 on Thursday as well? :gent:

naw man theres no need for name calling.
its a new dawn and President Trump is bringing the world together, now is not the time for resistance.

Besides, I'm actually fascinated by Jones' comments. If the public 'rev up' works then ill be the first one on here conceding the point.
I just don't think it will.
If they come out and move better, pass better and perform better we can dissect the why and hows on here tomorrow.
If they put out the same turgid tripe then we can discuss what more needs to be done.

Trump has shown us miracles can happen, lets hope it keeps up

Even if we get the same formation and tactics it doesnt stop the players running and tackling harder then the opposition. If there gonna out football us then at least make them work for it which we struggle to do

Actually being after 6pm on a Thursday are they entitled to time and a quarter or something?

for just 2 dollars a day you can.......

I remember I sent houseboy Ho John (well paid) back to the US to become a Dr on a scholarship.

So guys how's our team going?
Are we sticking a boot in, putting in a shift and playing for the shirt like you wanted?

I personally was really impressed with the heart the players showed to hustle back to halfway after the Coasties goal. Also how great is that Jets house huh? That paint job looks beautiful. Some fans will never be satisfied...

exactly. Our guys had to put down their scotch and cigars and sweat it out for a couple. See you at the mens club boys

ok all together now, jones out he cant coach, jones out he cant coach, jones out he cant coach or were going to win the spoon....again...............................and again............

To answer your questions in order: Pathetic, No, No, No

Oh and #JonesOut

Seriously.. Fvck this guy..

Even though he had his negatives Im really missing the way miller we get off his arse and shout instructions etc at players during matches. Where is this newy passion Jones goes on about. Maybe his too used to being an assistant and staying seated on the bench

People wondered what positives Miller brought to the table... an absolute **** ton more than this guy. Haven't seen a single thing that suggests he knows what he's doing.

You can clearly see he's worked under GVE....different team each week, players out of position, leaving best players on bench, move away from tactics that suit the team strengths, try to win possession stats with slick backline passing....only to cock it up.....

Does the January transfer window apply to coaches as well ?

Nah, a transfer implies that there's some other team out there that would take him.

I can give or take a coach screaming on the sideline - that's personality, not coaching ability.

But for me, what Miller did that the few before him didn't do, was actually smartly recruit players. Our squad at the moment, not counting injuries, is the best its been in quite a while. He was able to attract plenty of players that either weren't rated elsewhere or from overseas etc, and have performed well. That's what smaller clubs have to do. You can't outbid bigger clubs for sure things, you have to go do the legwork to unearth people or discerningly give people second chances. There is plenty of players playing for us at the moment that I like watching and for most of them we have Miller to thank.

Spot on. Miller's recruitment was consistently good. Leo & Trif weren't flops. They contributed plenty, just not enough, and although I didn't like Leo's attitude, a full season without injury and I think he could have propelled us into top 6. Nordstrand and Ugarkovic turned last season around, and Clut & Nabbout have been standouts this season. Kokko looks dangerous, although unfit at the moment.

Think I said toward the end of last season that it felt like a moneyball approach and would likely take at least one more off-season to replace a few more pieces. Our management in all their wisdom decided not to go that way :|

maybe as a collective we could start a new club based in Scone fro example, and we could "transfer" unwanted Jets to us, we could pay their wages, we'd be sponsored by a rich sugar daddy from China, someone in lighting perhaps, and help the jets take some dead wood off their books. Mutual agreement, players could be paid their wages, live at he beach and trot out for Scone United on away games. We could take Jones too if that helps. Who is with me?

I question the point of subbing on Ma LeiLei in stoppage time.
If you are going to give him a few minutes to appease the bosses, the F3 Derby isnt the place.
Hoole dragged his useless sorry ass around for the last 15 minutes, surely the fresh legs of Ma could have helped?
If he has any ability, why not give him a chance to show it? He just wasted our own time by making the sub as late as he did and it was another abysmal example of the lack of foresight & creativity Jones possesses.
We could have even gone to 3 at the back once the Scum subbed off Powell too.
