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...

Cant believe im agreeing with Smithy LOL.


Gutted by this result and have admit that along with the other couple of hidings we have had this season just dosnt feel as if we have really improved much from the last two seasons.Yes we have been hit with injuries but it seems like we are incapable of finding quality replacements.Think we have all liked to way Ernie has had the team playing at times but does seem he gets away lightly you just imagine the stink if Rickie had turned in those hidings on his watch.

Sure hope Welnix are going to do something about getting some players who will be able to compete KNOW in the A league and not require 3/4 seasons to get there.Otherwise that stadium they want might as well only have to seat 6/8000..

Ernie's "getting away lightly" because he inherited a team which were wooden spooners, horrible to watch and were a shambles. Once the players had got used to the style of play he wants us to play, which takes time, we started putting performances together which showed that we could be a very competitive team this season. Sadly, as the season has progressed, injuries have eaten away at our squad to such an extent that we can't put a competitive team on the park. Ernie is 'getting away lightly' because he has shown that, with a full squad to choose from, he can deliver decent football which will get results. That's the big difference from the last couple of seasons.

Merrick's shown he can do the job, if he has the players, now it's up to Gareth and his chums to get the cheque book open so that we don't have to fill the team with youngsters who shouldn't be there (yet).
