4-3 win
They look like absolute rubbish, but we're still going to let them score 3 goals.

coincidentally (i assume), Foreign Correspondent have a story on the Indonesian Football league on tomorrow night.

Running Amok
This is no armchair spectator sport. ABC Indonesia Correspondent David Lipson ventures into the fanatical, often deadly, arena of Indonesian soccer.
We will loose.

serious fans.Quote:
Since 1994, 74 fans have been killed in football-related violence.
Seven fans have been killed in the past seven years during matches between Jakarta's team "Persija" and neighbouring Bandung's "Persib".
Indos in a bit of trouble
Quote:
A Croatian footballer has been accused of assaulting a woman on a flight as his team jetted into Australia for an Asian Champions League match.
Marko Simic, a striker for Indonesian club Persija Jakarta, faced Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday, accused of common assault and an act of indecency on board Sunday’s flight from Bali to Sydney.
Simic’s club is playing A-League team Newcastle Jets in a preliminary round of the premier Asian club competition on Tuesday night.
The Croatian national’s lawyer urged the matter be resolved quickly, but magistrate Jennifer Atkinson said it needed to be treated like any other case with procedural fairness due to all parties including the police.
The matter was adjourned to April 9.
A bit more on it:

He has to stay in the country till April 9... Article says its "unclear if he will play against the Jets".
How long till he is linked with joining Sydney FC?
Anyway, wrt to the ACL, I'm distressed by the online taunting of Crystal Palace fans over our Asian kit. They're saying very unkind things, likening us to a cheap Conference version of Palace.

thought Hoff was injured too?? https://www.newcastlejets.com.au/vid...argas-feb-2019
No excuses
These guys are shit
We win by plenty tonight
If not Bert has got to go ASAP
Attendance is ridiculously low
This kit makes us look like Barcalona from the sidelines
So has anyone got a stream for this?
defence is still atrocious.
anybody else have a sly giggle every time they see number 25 next to one of our defenders? :blush:
dimi trying to do it all again.
Get Ridenton on FFS
Need a midfielder who can use the ball
Case closed on why we need to let Roy go
FMD
good lord. dimi and roy both having moments they won't live down for a while.
Ok, highlight for me is the guy to the side of the Indo supporters that just threatened to moon the big screen/tv cameras
I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this game. They're trash, but we are bad.
someone ring the cops, there's a whole team out there trying to throw that match and it ain't the indonesians.
We could be gone here unless something changes bloody quick.
Can see Riko going past Capt Slow and scoring for Persija.
Jets are woeful tonight. Don't deserve to advance on the 1st halves performance.
I reck9n that is about 5 corners tonight our defenders have needlessly conceeded
Can I ask when players started thinking they need to cover their lips?
Do any teams actually employ a lip reader to decipher what players say to eachother moments before a FK?
we are a joy to watch when we go for the counter-attack. we are horrible when trying to break a team down.
