I was simply pointing out footballing fortunes can change in a short matter of time.
Yeah like us being in the top 6, to now where we suck balls and will miss the finals again.
Have you no honour? It's our ****ing civic duty to deny the Gypos. Best thing we'll do all year TBH.
When's the last time you went to a game and the WHOLE crowd went home happy? We have a chance to write the final chapter in a wonderful season for the WSW by rolling over like dogs and letting them win.
Israel and Palestine could look to us for inspiration to sort their shit out.
the FFA are in on it, we are in on it.
just get the message to Gary and deans and we are set.
when reegz or mitchell give away a sketchy penalty you will know whats going on.
watch us score a goal last minute to win and BK steps onto the pitch and the goal is disallowed because we had 12 men on the pitch.
this loss/draw is for Newcastle.
let's just throw the game, celebrate the gypos not winning anything again for another off-season while we watch stu tear up nbn league on his way back into a-league, where he belongs.
OK
I hope when the WSW get the plate they do a whole lap of honour so we can all cheer the Gypos losing.
Would also be fitting if they let our boys go round with them.
Hope they celebrate with 100 flares gettin ripped. Making the headlines of Channel 9, great for the game.
At least let Rubes carry the plate around with Beauchamp.....
I wouldn't have thought they would be getting it tomorrow after we (FIX the game of course) but at their home semi final

Still rong, but if Barry's plate is gonna be there, and the unbelievable happens, why not hand it over
No plate tomorrow anywaysFFA's decision not to take the Premiers Plate to Hunter Stadium on Friday follows on from last year, when the governing body failed to reward Central Coast Mariners on the day of their Premiership success, by not having the silverware on hand in Wellington - the day their achievement was confirmed.
At least on that occasion, there was some excuse. With the outcome undecided until the final day, it was possible the trophy could have gone to Brisbane, who were playing on the Gold Coast. But surely the Plate isn't so priceless that a replica couldn't have been made in order to have one at each venue?
This year, there is no justifiable reason.
I don't buy for one moment the argument that presenting a trophy at a team's home ground gives an opportunity for more fans to see it being lifted. What about the estimated 6,000 Western Sydney Wanderers supporters who are travelling up the F3 and paying good money to watch their team on Friday? If the desire is really there to give the maximum number of fans the opportunity to watch the trophy being presented, then surely a pre (or post) match parade with the team and trophy can be performed at the Wanderers first home finals match as well (if they indeed, win it)?
Based on FFA's rationale, then Perth Glory would have been denied the chance to lift the Championship trophy had they won last year's grand final, given that only a fraction of their regular supporter base was in Brisbane?
I suspect the real reason behind this decision is the concern that the Wanderers fans will somehow go ballistic at the sight of their team winning a trophy - or, that FFA doesn't want to be accused of favouritism (after what happened with the Mariners last year), given that the Wanderers are owned by the governing body. There are also rumours of logistical issues in terms of transport times back to Sydney - all fair and reasonable arguments.
But trophies should ALWAYS be handed out on the day teams earn their success. To deny the players their moment in the sun is wrong - and to deny fans, (99.9 per cent of whom conduct themselves properly), the opportunity to see their beloved club raise a trophy aloft in the moment of euphoria, is to deny the essence of what the game is all about.
Furthermore, the game also wastes a precious opportunity for wonderful photographs in the papers, and priceless footage on television of fans and players celebrating together.
This debate is not about what is more important - Premiership or Championship - it is about recognising that there are few times in a football supporters' (and players') life when you can celebrate these little moments of history. Who will cherish the memory of lifting the Plate when minds are focussed on a vital finals game?
FFA has consistently got this wrong. Back in year one, Adelaide United were shabbily treated by a pitch-side presentation of the trophy BEFORE an away game in Newcastle. In season two, Melbourne Victory also had to wait after clinching the crown at home against New Zealand Knights.
Then, suddenly, they got it right after Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory played out the regular season decider in 2009-2010. So why now are we back to square one?
Take the damn thing (as plain as it is), up the F3, and if - if - the Wanderers win it, let them go and celebrate with their supporters AND the trophy. If they fail - no problems, pack it away and have it down the road for the Mariners twenty four hours later.
But to leave it at FFA headquarters on what is potentially such a momentous day in the Wanderers' short history is scandalous. As is the consistent refusal to recognise the players' achievements by not giving them individual medals to commemorate their efforts.
Imagine a team winning an FA Cup Final and being told they had to wait until their next league game before being presented with their reward, and that the players would receive no medals?
There are only two trophies to play for in Australia - as things stand, the grand final losers get medals, but the Premiers get nothing - not even, it seems, the trophy that is rightfully their's on the day they win it. Ridiculous

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I know, but it just says it
The only reason you hate the Mariners is because you support Newcastle. Support the club when we win or lose. If you plan on cheering when the Wanderers score a goal then cheer at home on the ****ing couch or in the away bays you idiots.
agree mate. shit thread.
we will loose
no, it's because they're inbred and poor. dont you listen to the anthem?
the only reason we support Newcastle is because we're from here
let's face it, now that it's not possible for us to make the finals, will you obtuse "fans" still be hoping that we gift the plate to the Coast?
it's like you guys have this one track mind "Jets must win" rather than taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture
And because mrdja broke duras leg, and didn't care.
****ing Mrdja, still incensed by that not even being a foul. ****ing hell, Dura
You know, WSW could throw it so Sydney miss the finals.
It could be own goal central tomorrow!
Barbados v Grenada all over again!
