Did I just hear we arrived in Newcastle at 11pm last night? Who the fuck was in charge of our travel?
Yep they said there were delays, also said that was 1am nz time.
Unacceptable. They should've left Melbourne the following day and headed straight to Newcastle.
Absolutely disgraceful result this is. This isn't just a loss, but a loss that could well alienate fans even further.
Do you feel alienated?
I don't. Just sad, disappointed, and a little bit jaded.
We had an injury crisis this season and instead of putting hand in pocket the owners left Merrick with kids who are good but not ready. I read Gareth Morgan in the paper saying he has more money than he knows what to do with, well I have a suggestion...
I don't know if I do, but when you hear the team didn't show up (literally) until the night before, it's these sorts of things that people wonder why they even bother turning up. Is the club taking the piss? I have to admit, I turned the TV off when I heard that. Unless they were flying Malaysian airways I don't see any excuse for these 'travel delays'.
Moss said we arrived the same time last time and beat them 3-2. It's not an excuse for professionals with finals football on the line.
I'm willing to bet we have the least collective pro caps across all teams in the comp by quite some margin
Not so sure about that.
Yes most of the team are very inexperienced but the likes of Ifil, Durante, Sigmund, Hysegums (can't spell his name!), Hernandez, Brockie, Muscat and Lia have plenty between them. Most of them played today and none of them had a great game, not even Durante.
And while Moss will not have as many of them, he's been pro for nearly 10 years
