    Gypos? Who cares? There's been some successes and some failures, however if it makes our team stronger and theirs weaker then great.

    Wrong colours? This is always the worst argument. It was tried, they were the worst selling shirts ever & apart from NSL die hards and the social media bandwagon nobody liked them. Cinnamon and Green, awful.......

    Mid strength beer? Stupid rule, but in accordance with harm minimisation from NSW liquor regulations. I doubt anyone is going to solve this one any time soon.

    Jets shaped hats? yup i'm sure they'll sell as well as cinnamon and green shirts.

    Your last point just shows the too prevalent negative mindset of most Arsenal fans. I bet you subscribe to Arsenal TV.

    You started off poorly here. There has been no real successes from my memory. Only Fitzgerald's and Millar's stealing a living.

    You didn't exactly improve with this nonsense either. You got any facts to back up those claims? Feel free to post the shirt sales numbers. Go ask an actual Jets fan what they think of the 07/08 kit and get back to me.

    This is where you lost all current and future credibility.

    Lmao, nice childish jab there. Instead of trying to find some positive for Lawrie to outweigh the bad you thought this nonsense was worthwhile.

    Wes not coming back, Burns is gone, Qiang Li gone.

    According to Lawrie in respect to Wes..."Hopefully, we haven’t seen the last of him in Jets colours".

    Not sure if it was the colours that were the problem. It was just a damn awful design.

    Pretty sure Lawrie said to Furns that any gold strip definitely needs to be the right shade (think he even dissed the Wanderers strip in his comments), so it's probs not off the cards to do a gold strip, just would depend what the Viva paper towel boyz offer. Not sure Lawrie broached the subject of cinnamon and emerald, so it might be off limits, which would be a shame as the right design could def work, but like any second or third strip you would not expect it to sell as well as a home strip especially as most fans only want to fork out for one strip and will most likely make it the one that makes most sense to wear to home matches - so we need to officially change our colours back to C&E and ditch that bitch knytes crap, gold as the alternate strip, and any colour that isn't white for a third strip (if we even need a third strip with an awesome C&E strip as our mainstay)

    I thought our current arrangement with Viva expired at the end of the current season.

    Lawrie is more than approachable so you could easily take these points up with him personally - the opportunity was there recently when Furns did his interview. You can walk up to him in public or ask directly on social media. Personally, I think he is doing a good job - and if Griff thinks he is the bees knees then that is good enough for me.

    Truth is Lawrie is very popular with the majority of fans and members, you hear very little bad mouthing apart from on here and the odd pub chat.

    You tell us our head honcho is crap whilst the majority are happy with his performance.

    You sound like an ALP voter

    Firstly, this isn't a democracy. We don't vote for a new CEO every 4 years. I care as little about how popular he is with your friends as I do mine. (hint; we don't like him)

    Secondly, if I don't like the job he's doing, why would I go an approach him to talk about it? Is he going to leave because I ask him to? Is he going to get rid of all the gypos stealing a wage here because I ask him to? I don't want our CEO making wholesale changes based on conversations with angry idiots he meets in the streets, lol.

    But, I'm happy for his fan group to list of some positives that he's brought to the club since he's arrived as an actual worthwhile rebuttal? How's our financials? How's the youth set up? How many titles has he helped us win? How easy is it to purchase Jets shaped hats throughout the community? I would love to hear some positives about the bloke, cause I've got to deal with him being here for the near future and I'd rather be nonchalant about him than disturbed by his love for everything relocatable home related.

    Particularly in person, how many times have you actually engaged him in something he doesn't agree with you though? Because every time I have, I can genuinely say he does not take it well. He cuts everything short with "agree to disagree" and rarely actually engages in anything outside of the yes man mentality. I think he does good things, I also think he does poor things - but I don't find him as approachable as he intends to be.
    OK

    why Donachie? are we paying overs again for a so-so player? surely we could find a young upcoming prospect for cheaper to develop

    this is my reaction as well, like him and lachlan jackson honestly feel very equal in my eyes quality wise so why are we spending more money in this area of the field for someone not better then what we already have

    I'll save Dunster the trouble.

    Donachie is with Avid Sports Group as his agency. Our club has thrown our entire plan behind that one agency, starting with Carl. The deep agency roots are regularly brought up when discussing what got Carl kicked out of Vancouver, it is well worth a Google. I'll save yall the hassle:

    If you want to guess who our other transfer targets could be, the easiest way is to just read this list:
