BTW Dillon has written some good and fair articles over the couple of years. He has beeen more accurate about the team and management due to grabbing better info.
I cannot forgive the the lies he told to a mass market about fans for the 5 or so yrs before that. Mud sticks, bl.
also, Mulvey should come in for a look anyway.

Can't wait to start writing vicious and vile nastiness from behind my keyboard about Mulvey.
Bit bored with that Stubbins chap already to be honest.
Do I hear a suggestion for a MULVEY OUT thread?
OK

Coach James Pascoe said Regan heard a ‘‘pop’’ in his upper ankle when landing awkwardly and there were fears he had damaged syndesmosis in the area.
Former Western Sydney Wanderer Tahj Minniecon signs with Philippine club Loyola Sparks

Former Western Sydney Wanderers forward Tahj Minniecon has signed with Philippine club Loyola Meralco Sparks in an attempt to get his professional career back on track.
Minniecon started playing soccer with Canberra junior club Brindabella Blues, then called Blue Light, and was part of the Australian Institute of Sport program before signing with the A-League club Brisbane Roar.
The 25-year-old also played for the now-defunct Gold Coast United and then the Wanderers, who released him at the end of last season.
But the former Olyroo has signed a one-year deal with Loyola and will start in January with the view to resurrecting his career in Asia.
His manager, Kaz Patafta, said he was over his recent injury woes.
"The reason for him going there is to get into a side where he can at least just play out a season, because he hasn't been able to do that for a while now," Patafta said.
"We start there and I'm sure he'll make a name for himself in Asia and those areas."

Didn't Patafta study and graduate from Law? Becoming a manager probably isn't that big a jump for him.
I thought it was Dapuzzo doing law?
Perhaps it was both? haha
I think Puzz did Law / Comm Degree.
Patafta was running coaching clinics then went to the Philipines to play.
Wrt Minnecon he's was easily the most talented NYL player I had seen in action.
Remember watching him destroy the jets youth at Adamstown oval.
Injuries or his mind in another place would be the only explanation for him not going on with it.
He's only 25 so it's still not too late for him to get back on track.
I know Dapuzzo did law, I just thought Patafta was doing the same.
He was doing law

THE real worry for Newcastle Jets fans is not that this campaign already appears a write-off, with two-thirds of the preliminary rounds still to be played.
Even more concerning is what lies in store next season.
Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Wellington Phoenix left the Jets winless after nine games and second last on the points table, with the worst goal differential (minus-11) in the A-League.
If the result was disappointing, the circumstances were shattering.
For the fifth time this season, the Jets drew first blood.
And for the fifth time they were unable to hold the lead, and a three-goal Wellington blitz in the space of five minutes pushed already-disgruntled supporters a step closer to the point of no return.
With Newcastle’s next three games against competition leaders Perth (away), third-placed Adelaide (home) and second-placed Melbourne Victory (away), this could soon turn even uglier for rookie coach Phil Stubbins and his struggling troops.
Barring a remarkable form reversal, the Jets could be dead and buried in the race for the playoffs by Christmas, at which point tough decisions would need to be made.
If this group of players is incapable of delivering improved results, then presumably the only option for the powers-that-be will be to return to the drawing board. But how can we have any confidence in the people responsible for hiring and firing, given what has transpired this season?
Let’s wind back the clock 12 months and reflect on where the Jets were at the corresponding point last year.
After round nine, they were third on the ladder, had strung together four wins in five games and had 15 points to their name.
Yet six games later, coach Gary van Egmond had been sacked.
His interim replacement, Clayton Zane, won five and drew two of 12 games at the helm, enough to be retained as assistant to Stubbins but not as head tactician.
Having finished seventh, hence missing the finals for the fourth successive season, Newcastle then parted company, for a variety of reasons, with experienced players such as Emile Heskey, Adam Taggart, Ruben Zadkovich, Josh Brillante, Craig Goodwin, Michael Bridges, Josh Mitchell, James Brown and Nick Ward.
In came Edson Montano, Billy Celeski, Marcos Flores, Jeronimo Neumann, Adrian Madaschi and Jonny Steele, some of whom were returning from major surgeries.
On the evidence thus far, it is hard to reach the conclusion that the wholesale turnover in personnel has left Newcastle with a stronger roster.
After four years as also-rans – during which the Jets finished seventh three times and eighth once – this season’s results would suggest they have regressed.
And now the same people responsible for assembling this squad might have to again clear the decks and start afresh.
It has become a vicious circle. How can any club develop a successful, winning culture when an end-of-season cleanout becomes an annual event?
Why would any top-shelf players want to come here?
Some fans are already demanding Stubbins should make way.
But given that he is Newcastle’s third coach inside 11 months, if the Englishman was to be sacked, then those who appointed him should surely sack themselves as well.
All of which is being played out under the ownership of a man who declared months ago he ‘‘can’t wait’’ to sell the Jets.
Until such time as controversial tycoon Nathan Tinkler has moved on, it is hard to envisage any positive change on the horizon.
While the club remains in his hands, it seems not a dollar more will be spent than is necessary, and the front-office acumen will come from the same officials who have been in charge since October, 2010.
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s A-League franchise is not just stuck in neutral. It is rolling backwards.
At what point the Jets reach rock bottom is anyone’s guess.
Some definite truths in there. Everything has already been said a million times on this forum, at least now it will be right in the face of those running the club. FFA will have to start thinking about the loss of income for them if we fold or if they lose 5000 supporters in 1 year.
Jets offering $1 tickets to the reds match tomorrow.
A handling fee from $4.35 per transaction applies. Credit / Debit card charges of 1.95% will also apply.
they should pay us
