Can't believe Mass Murdocca is a free agent and we sign Cameron Watson and Poljak
Third worst decision by Millertime ever
Murdocca is rubbish. Watson is also rubbish but you would hope he is much cheaper than a rubbish Murdocca.
burn the shirt if we sign that sh1tcvnt
What the hell did I just read from the SMH? Is this some alternative reality?

Story in todays telegraph mentions Essien, Olic ( croatian striker ) , Samaris and Ronaldhino interested in a-league ... id take olic
Olic is excellent. Would be the best player in the A-League
Need speed
Olic is now 36, always a risk once a player is well over 30 years old (as we've seen with Leonardo) but he has always been a physical type player being descibed as a player who "possesses power and a decent bit of pace". Having played many years in the fairly physical Bundesliga he would probably slot in to the A League fairly comfortably. Has a good goal to game ratio too in his over 600 game career, scoring at just under a goal every 3 games.
Few years older than the donkey we currently have up front but reckon he would be more effective.....but lets face it, it's just not going to happen under the current status quo.
Does anyone know if the RBB and North Terrace will be staging any walkouts in solidarity with Russell Crowe?
Human rights violations and all that.
I know that, among Victory supporters, planning is under way for a mass hover-out.
Maybe you should get all your joke material together and have a massive hoover out.
It still got printed.
In todays Herald....
PFA say no current Jets players are out of pocket.
By ROBERT DILLON and AAP
PROFESSIONAL Footballers Australia has dismissed concerns that current Newcastle Jets players are affected by the overdue-payments saga that involves four A-League clubs.
Earlier in the month, Fairfax Media reported Adelaide, Brisbane, Central Coast and Newcastle had until the end of 2015 to catch up on a host of outstanding financial entitlements to players.
But PFA, the players’ union, clarified on Wednesday that Newcastle’s issues related to ex-players and the club’s former owners, Con Constantine and Nathan Tinkler.
It is understood the players sacked almost 12 months ago by Tinkler, including Joel Griffiths, Billy Celeski and Adrian Madaschi, are still waiting for unpaid superannuation. They have been assured by Football Federation Australia any arrears will be honoured once the Newcastle franchise, which has been in the hands of the governing body for the past seven months, has been sold.
“PFA can confirm that all oustanding obligations are up to date for current players at the Newcastle Jets,’’ a PFA spokesman said. “Any debts accrued by the previous owners to former players are currently being worked through with FFA in an ongoing process.’’
While the issue will not impact on the Jets, if any clubs are proven to have not honoured their commitments, their players could declare themselves free agents. Clubs would also risk losing competition points, according to the terms of the new collective-bargaining agreement negotiated between FFA and PFA.
Meanwhile, Central Coast wingers Fabio Ferreira and Mitch Austin will almost certainly start against Wellington on New Year's Eve, as the Mariners attempt to turn around their miserable run of A-League losses.
Portuguese X-factor Ferreira has been making a gradual return from the bench the past two matches, following a lengthy injury lay-off.

Austin, who has earned his own plaudits for his flying runs down the left flank, sat out last Saturday's 4-1 thumping by Sydney FC with a virus.
But coach Tony Walmsley backed both to return at Central Coast Stadium on Thursday night.
"There's no doubt we're at our best with Fab Ferreira and Mitch Austin on the wings," Walmsley said.
"Both are fit and available, and I can confidently say both will probably start the game. Fab's not going to last 90 minutes, but we'll make sure we've got people on the bench that can come in and do a job."
Young back-up goalkeeper Tom Heward-Belle will make his A-League starting debut in place of suspended Paul Izzo, who was given his marching orders in the first half against Sydney.
Skipper Nick Montgomery backed Heward-Belle's form, but said the 18-year-old did not need encouragement.
"There's no pressure on Tommy and he's not nervous. He's a confident guy and I think everyone will enjoy watching him tomorrow night," Montgomery said.
"The boys will rally around him, but to be honest he's pretty cool. He's a pretty laid-back character, but you can see in his eyes he's focused and desperate to take his opportunity.’’
After a club-record six consecutive losses and only five points from the opening 12 rounds, Central Coast will need a drastic turnaround to avoid the wooden spoon.
So likes of Griff, Celeski and Madaschi are yet to have their Super paid....nearly 12 months after being sacked by Tinks.
Meanwhile FFA have been in control for 7 months now and are treating any outstanding debts to previous players as "Ongoing".
Wouldn't it be better for all concerned to just clear any outstanding Super payments to players and not have this hanging around for the next owner to deal with??? Every year my opinion of FFA as the governing body of the game just gets lower and lower!
Why would the FFA want to pay someone else's debt?
My missus will lose her mind if Ronaldhino comes to the A-league. She will dump the jets and follow who ever he's playing for without exception.
It says it in the article - when the club is sold, the FFA will use the funds from that to clear the outstanding debts to the players. This wasnt an issue when the FFA were negotiating with Thompson, however now that those talks have broken down I daresay they will wait to see what happens with the UBS option. If a buyer comes in, all well and good. If not, then I would say that the FFA will clear the debts themselves so that the process doesnt drag on any longer.

When the FFA gives the clubs the money for paying the players anyway you could argue they could control the entire situation for all player payments wages super entitlements etc.
They could cut the middle man out and pay the players themselves
By passing the money into the clubs to do it the problem is one they could avoid
Secondly they gave the fat **** control of the Jets.
They brought the shitfest upon themselves.Clean up the mess pay the players and stop ****ing around
This all started when the double-eff-aye knifed Con.
Bloke treated his players like royalty.
They were like his children.
Suits are getting what they deserve.
**** em all
