    ****ing ridiculous idea. Just kick them out altogether and have 3 new Aussie teams instead of 2.

    How would the visa situation work with a "50/50" team?

    and another Leaguee talking bout that form of football they usually don't dare speak its name
    Also noted Butterfield couldn't even mention the Jets by name.

    Same with that Herald "opinion piece" criticising Jets fans for leaving before the presentation, these people don't know the game but are spurred to comment because it was the sporting event of the week.

    I stayed and watched the trophy hand out

    But quite frankly Dillion can get ****ed


    Bet you the Scousers are out of there at FT when CR7 and co get the UCL crown in a couple of weeks

    Reality is in Europe half the fans are gone for the trophy Hand out any way after a final

    Anybody seen Craig Johnston’s open letter in herald?
    On phone atm so can’t do a fancy link.
    https://www.theherald.com.au/story/5...final-debacle/

    What is happening.
    I don’t think I’ve cringed as much for a while.
    He makes some good points, but the overall feel is a bit awkward.

    Probably a bit over the top - but I do feel we deserve a proper enquiry into what happened and a better than scant apology to the fans and players, as mentioned by Ronny and George.

    Yep, it’s making us all look like sore losers who have never watched a football match before or seen a game decided by a ref mistake. I’m over it, and if I can be, so can the ‘100,000’ noobs who got excited about these ‘Jets?’ for the first time ever last week.

    Just give us a GF rematch in the first round next season, and get the Oils to perform live beforehand.

    Why do we need an apology??

    It aint like this is the first time in the history of football a decision has gone against a side

    The FFA are ****ing idiots and have created this shit storm by their bullshit announcement less than 24 hours after the result that the VAR failed

    All they had to do was shut their mouth and the eye sight challenged officials cop the blame

    But showing how good they are at shooting thermselves in the foot they open their mouths when silence is required


    That article from Craig Johnston is cringe worthy

    We lost
    We copped an incorrect decision


    Lets just take it like good sports and stop having a sulk about it


    Last i looked football is a game like life

    It isnt fair balanced and just
    But you have to accept what comes your way


    Maybe we need to cop it on the chin and move on and stop the child like we was robbed BS

    I tend to agree with the member. That's been my approach even before the FFA announcement

    I accept the result but this is a chance to rattle the FFA glass house.
    If this was Sydney FC there would be federal enquiries, Bozza rants, Four Corners stories and all sorts of bizarre suggestions similar to Johnno's. They would be given Iniesta on a plate.
    The bigger picture is to get the message to IFAB that the VAR is a farce.

    Rattle their house ??

    I think we all in aggreeance that Gallop and co need to go


    As for VAR well there are some matches being played in Russia next month and the month after
    Not sure which one it will be but only take 1 VAR incident to see the death of it

    Hope it is an England game just for shits and giggles

    I am with Jetmaster here. Without being all over the ins and outs of the FFA's corporate structure ( anybody who does know please jump in ) but if they receive any federal concessions or federal Govt funding there SHOULD BE a inquiry in to the governance of the FFA. This body should not be getting any concessions or financial assistance whatsoever whilst there is clearly dereliction of duty within it. Time and time again the same cock ups arise and yet nobody seems to be held accountable.

    If anything there is a culture of circle the wagons scratch each others back and wait til bad shit blows over.

    i can kind of see your point, but don't forget FIFA take a very dim view of any government interference (or even the perception of it) in football matters. The cynic in me thinks this is because it might curtail the ease with which FIFA can adjust anything to suit their professional (or personal) needs.

    Out of curiosity why are the natives at the other 9 clubs not getting restless and stirring the pot with protests at HAL games

    I can understand why Jets fans have been distracted by onfield success but the NT and RBB usually cant wait to take pot shots at the FFA over the slightest grievance

    Why exactly is the football community actually tolerating the ineptitude ??

    There are massive problems in thge game in this country and the VAR is the least of them. The FFA seem to have no plan and everything is a knee jerk reaction


    Why are we not lynching them and running Gallop and co out of town ourselves???

    I don't know eh, But it dead set drives me insane there is no accountability at FFA HQ.

    As someone who spent the best part of 25 years dealing with business of all sizes from Mum & Dad operations right up to Mass Merchants it beggars belief some of these blokes at the FFA still have a job to go to. They would not last 5 mins in a role out in the real world. Out in the real world they would not get the opportunity to hide behind the threat of charging somebody with a good old bringing the game into disrepute should somebody dare question there competence.

    If Gallop was of decent character he would look at himself in the mirror and ask is the game in a better position now than when he started. We all know what the answer to that is and what that would mean for him. As for Wilson he needs to do the same, not withstanding the VAR and its shortcomings his officials have had one of the worst seasons since the inception of the A League and that is on him. How many times do you look at a game and think the officials have had more of a say in the outcome than the players.

    I really don't like this Craig bloke. He had about as much right to speak for Newy as I do.
