R23 vs Newcastle Jets | Sat 17th March 7:35pm | QBE Stadium

He's not listed anywhere on there. thats odd. 

Interesting to see Mikey and AK back in again.

Good

IMO, Greenie just needs to find a way to get the best 11 players on the park regardless of form and to try to make something of them. The club needs to find some momentum from somewhere and every loss is another nail in our coffin (as far as the Aussies are concerned)

Fudgeing hell, you know sales are bad when they put it on GrabOne.

GameDay

Firing up (mostly out of habit but a win would be good)

COYN

Gameday. 

Simmering Down and lowering my expectations.

FIRE UP

Fire up!!!

Meh!

I'm feeling unreasonably fired up for this game! 

Ok i changed my mind i'm back.

As of 11.28 am this morning they've sold 237 of these discount tickets on Grab One.

Probably that's about a 20% increase in the crowd or something...

Also says:

"Newcastle have been boosted by the return to fitness of marquee player Ronnie Vargas who has been out for months with a horrific leg injury.

Another talented overseas player, Patricio Rodriguez, also returns from an injury layoff.

It would be a surprise if either player started the game but coach Ernie Merrick will be delighted to have them on the bench.

On the debit side prolific striker Roy O’Donovan is suspended."

Oh, dear no, the Irishman we love to hate is out for this one.....on St Patrick's Day....more like "prolific striker Roy O’Donovan is down the boozer on St Patrick's Day..." shurly???

And they haven’t even sold 300........

Planned to be there tonight, but after a week away on school camp I can't face the trip to Auck, so hoping for a good game for the Nix and lots of fun in the terraces. Pitch invasion?

Looking for a preview of the game in today's NZ Herald.... still looking...

This is going to suck. I can't get drunk because I've got a preseason match in the morning. So I've got to suffer through this game without a comforting chemical blanket.

Surely just one Guiness can't hurt can it Doloras?

I hope the Jets win.

With a 93rd minute goal?

Somebody hold me back...

what's happening with pre match festivities? In all at moment, not sure where people are meeting up.

The Merchant is the typical watering hole before a game at the QBE :) It's right opposite the stadium, just on the outskirts of the Westfield Albany. On Don Mckinnon Drive if you need to Google maps it. 

Since I can't drink (more than 1 Garage Project) will probably go straight to the ground early to see the Weenix game

Yellow card

I think C-Diddy was seeing red

so its a 5-3-2 . this will be interesting. Where is Rossi and Durante?

that defence....does not fill me with confidence...

No Dura or Rossi? What is going on??? Paracki at CB is a disaster waiting to happen ffs.

if anyone in the back 3 gets injured then we are stuffed... well, more stuffed than right now

Dura was touch and go with a injury, Rossi who knows.

Why? We're lined up with 5 at the back. If one of them is injured, you change to 4 at the back.

Fox just said Hip Flexor for Durante. 

Ljujic back in, eh?

I like this side. 

Didn't we start the season with 5 recognised CB's? How did it come to this...

I'm protesting about this game by watching it at home

Quite like seeing Devlin adding some excitment in front of what looks like a 4K crowd

Also like seeing Ernie again, he looks happy and a little chubby now 

Paracki at CB. Really? I get the feeling we are going to win by one or get beaten by four.

Opposition scoring four and the Nix scoring one is our favourite result this season...

Very true!

Does Devlin always do pre game? Hope it's just a one off for Auckland.
