Ruben Zadkovich is the most booked player in this clash with 3 bookings.
Adam Taggart became the second ever Jets player to reach double figures for goals scored in a season.

I should add one more fact about the game

- The 3-1 win over the Heart was the Jets last victory at home.

[MFKS]

Wish we had Ryan Griff playing for us this weekend.

He always seemed to score against them.


Hopefully his big bro can step up to the plate and own these blokes

Only two were pens too, so he had a fair record from open play

[BodyNovo]

......lose

Hmmmm...No Regan, No Chapman and Brown is still in the wilderness.

[belchardo]

kanta! Goodwin!

re Brown: where do you fit him in these days?

[Jeterpool]

re Brown: where do you fit him in these days?

Honestly, nowhere at the moment. Perhaps in the Heskey role where we have always figured he'd fit but never really made a fist of it when he has had a go.

Not expecting Kanta to start either.

He's long odds to make the game (good news for Jets).
He will be having a fitness test on the morning of the game.
Hold on to your cash for now mate.

Who da **** iz that?

[Jeterpool]

Who da **** iz that?

The dude with the round white patch on the back of his head.

I'll check tomorrow but I think he's refereed us a few times. Each game I watch him ref he's terrible IMO. But you can say that about most of his card wielding mates too

[pv4]

Only two were pens too, so he had a fair record from open play

One was 100% a free kick, not sure if more than one. So his open play stats arent as good as they seem

Fixed this for you mate.
