Should be in MFKS. Should know by late next week due to work roster. Will keep you informed.

where the **** is lucas neil?
has not been seen since he was running round for doncaster 8 months ago

he's not very popular on account of being a bit of a ****
I am sure the bloke will turn up and be before us as soon as the first junket startsQuote:

Have a spare adult ticket to Oman v Kuwait at Stade de Newy on Saturday 17th January.
Bay 4 of Eastern Stand.
Am going to Socceroos game in Brisvegas that day so can't make it.
Ticket is free to a good home though if you want to throw in a schooner that will sweeten the deal:sup:.
If you want it send us a pm
In the final days... trip to melbourne up first.
I am genuinely excited about this tournament, i hope the rest of Australia gets into it!
take it for what you will...

Regardless of whether you feel we are not the 10th best team in Asia the ranking system is about games won and the reality for us is we have been disappointing on this front whilst others have got their share of wins on the board
the prospect of an australian national team playing in newcastle is exciting
can't wait to see nippon but
just going to be good having football on the television everyday for the next 2 and a bit weeks.
The Japanese media seemed pretty chuffed with Cessnock according to the new last night. Their only problem? The internet is too slow here.
If anyone has yet to buy tix I recommend going into civic theatre. There is a lovely lady in there who hooked me up with way better tix than I could get on the website.
Cheers for the tip, still need to get my newcastle ones!Quote:

Gonna go out on a limb here and say we won't even get to the semis. Hell would not be that surprised if we didn't even make it out of the group.
We have done **** all to show signs that we can just flick a switch and be good
Whilst Ange keeps picking blokes like Alex Wilkinson we are well and truly ****ed.
Sure I will be supporting them but my expectations are at least in perspective unlike the people out there who think we will win the comp
We couldn't win it with vastly better sides than we currently have FFS
Ange is not skilled enough to get that lot to the finals. They might sneak into the knockout phase but it would be a suprise.
Tim Cahill deserves more from what will probably be his last major tournament.
I am yet to be convinved that Ange can handle any national squad BUT.
He has been foxing abit by trying at times too many players and systems while get sorted for this tourny. He prefers to have alot of time with his teams to implement his system which is not ideal for an international coach.
The squad isnt the best we've had but his report card will be riding on this.
No. Just general info and our ranking is fine.Quote:

Just a heads up, if anyone wants a ticket on halfway for the Japan v Palestine match, hit me up.
The missus decided she would like to go, and with no single seats around Bay 6, we will both relocate to the Western Upper Deck (Bay 64 from memory)
Not looking to make money, paid $30 for it in the Newcastle Match pack
Friday will tell the story. If we get a convincing win then it will look good - if we lose or draw we're doomed. An unconvincing win would mean 2nd place at best which keeps them on track for the Newy semi final.
Anyone knows if row A is at the front or the back of the bay (Lower eastern grand stand) at Newy stadia? Confused myself thinking about it and now can't remember for sure!!! cheers
A is on the fenceQuote:

tenz on monday but
will tell you of my catch up with carney
Might be able to tuesday.
no one really seems to be making a big deal about the fact that if the Socceroos come second in their group (which is likely given we have South Korea Inuit) and they go on to beat the winner of group B, they'll be playing in Newy
The Socceroos in our shitty stadium in a semi final, it would be incredible
Have the roster at work stretched something shocking this month around the Asian Cup and chances of avoiding work on Tuesday are about 1% I reckonQuote:

Probably because there is a lot of ifs buts and maybes for that to happen yet.Quote:

Enjoying his first summer in Australia for 18 years, Neill spoke out on the eve of a tournament for which he has been an ambassador since 2013, insisting the Socceroos should be targeting a win on home soil.
Lucas Neill led the Socceroos into battle at the 2011 Asian Cup, Warning that Ange Postecoglou’s side had to be “physically, mentally and tactically prepared” or be exposed, Neill said he would like nothing more than to see a new “Golden Generation” emerge from the Asian Cup.
Dropped from the national team before the last World Cup, Neill said those brought in by Postecoglou had an unparalleled opportunity to win silverware, backed by the support of playing a tournament on home soil.
“I believe in the boys and they have to make the most of a stage like this,” he said.
“Over the past year a lot of guys have come in, a lot I’m not familiar with, and the results and performances have been inconsistent – but that’s all in the past, and now it’s about this tournament.
“For this young team, what better way to set a new standard than by success in the Asian Cup? It’s a fine line between having potential and suddenly becoming a player who didn’t kick on, and these guys have such an opportunity here.
“For me it’s about us all cheering the team on, the home crowd acting as the proverbial 12th man, because the gap in Asia is very small and the games will be hard for every team.
“Our group is tough but I genuinely believe we should qualify – and then, given the way the draw is, should be aiming to win it.
“Having played all of the Asian teams, we know that if we’re not physically, mentally and tactically prepared we’ll be exposed. But like the rest of Australia, I live in hope we get to the final.”
Neill hasn’t played since being released by Watford at the end of last season, but said he would never formally retire “from a game I’ve been involved in since I was six years old, and hope to continue to be involved in.
“I’ll never officially retire from the Socceroos, and I’ll always serve my country in any capacity. That might sound a bit cheesy but it’s how I feel.
Bresc impressed by new bunch2:29
“Domestically I’ve had a few opportunities over the last six months but it didn’t feel like the right one was there and I’ve been enjoying some quality family time.
“I’ve been happy to work on a few grassroots projects, so playing hasn’t been my priority – though that’s not to say if something came up I wouldn’t take it.
“But I have to be honest, I’m really enjoying the down time of being in Australia at this time of year, and I’m even more excited to be watching the boys at the Asian Cup.
“We set the benchmark in 2011 (losing in the final) and I’d love to see them go one better"
I'd be keen, when and what time is it again?Quote:
