v Jets Sun 30 Jan 5pm $5 tickets

No no... I completely agree about the All Whites game. that was bullsh*t.

I'm talking about the 'Nix tonight.

Didn't this happen with the 'Nix 2 seasons ago? We had already lost the game and the ball was being kicked around in the penalty area after a corner (I think) and the ref called full time but then we scored?

This next bit may or may not be true... But I remember hearing that they counted the goal anyway?

Exactly - it was a mind melt. People complain about refs not using common sense, then complain when they stick to the letter of the law - they can't win.

A win's a win isn't it? Anyone want to hazard a guess at what Griffiths said?

aparantly that was siggys 8th card... meanign hes out for the next two matches


f**k

I think it went something like this
************************************************ sister*******************************

Thought it was
***************your mother ********************************* sister******************************

Cheat?

Oh i think it was a little more creative than that

Crowd of 10,971  which is awesome.....shame about the scrappy game, but we won with a fantastic goal.

Lets hope that we can play a lot better than that, because across the board we were poor.
We played a lot of the game with an extra player,but you would not know watching it. Stupid tackles from senior players-getting yellow cards,so were sitting on being sent off, all made for a rather 'lucky' win.
Newcastle were below us on the table, and were quite frankly never going to beat us at home.
If we want to make the top 6 then a 30% improvement is required. Two away games will test our resilience.

It was our 3rd game in a week ffs - even Brisbane weren't as good as normal against the Heart

We were quite obviously fatigued - players were cramping up with 15-20 to go - and I thought we did brilliantly to still get the winvaleo2011-01-30 19:51:41

I've a feeling Siggy and Manny might be due suspensions after those yellows. Anyone can confirm?

CRRAAAAAAAAAAAAP
WE NEED HIM!

Ohgod.
I guess Musa will be playing.. next week..



Still, we won, its okay. Had a lot of oppertunities that could have been goals in the penalty area!

I agree with some of your comments, but where did we fly(apart from Perth and Townsville)in the last week for 4hrs plus and play in the tropics?

A bit like manyoo then....

That was my thought - is it still two matches for 8 yellows?

I gotta say don't you love it when the Griffith's get themselves sent off like total idiots?!
Who gonna be next?
Adam?

I think Manny and Marco were great. Also, had we been a bit luckier and connected on those crosses that just weren't happening today, we wouldn't be complaining about the way we played - as we would have bagged 2-3 goals.
On the other hand the Jets played a decent game, and I really believe that had Mr Idiot non gotten himself sent off, they might have actually put one in the back of the net.

We still ran heaps and controlled the game for most of the 94'. Going forward we lacked that extra something, and discipline went out the window today with more than half the team getting yellows.

Siggy gone for the next 2,not sure about Manny

Yes, two matches. Puts a spanner in the works a little. Some will be happy for North to cover for Siggy. Muscat will be a huge loss.

I hope not, because without those two, we don't have a chance.

so are both muscat and siggy out for the last 2 games?
I guess North --> Siggy
and Ward --> Manny
which means Greenie will start?

Especially Manny will be missed

and bertos, pav or musa on bench?

I thought the cards reset in the new year or something?

dont think it reset, just extended from 5 cards to 8. Are we sure its still a two match suspension? I was thinking it might be just 1 if you havnt served a suspension yet?

Not sure if mannys is his 8th? But if so, atleast its for the away games. Wouldnt mind a diego cameo if they are both out

Diego is injured, no?

And we need to at least get a point away if we want to get into the top 6valeo2011-01-30 20:40:37

Chhers,

And yeah Manny and siggy had 7 before this game.. http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=hal_playerstats&seasonid=173&showdetailstatisticstype=9&clubid=227

not likely to get any points from next two games so maybe all right for Siggy and Manny to have break before the ;last one!..although one point from those two wouuld help.

You never know what can happen. Especially against Sydney and we need to get at least a draw from them 2 away games

We need four points at least. So a win against the Fury and an away draw.

I thought bertos was out till the end of the season? Wouldn't be surprised to see Ricky lining up this way

                   Vukovich
    Harfield     North   Durante    Lochy

   Ward        Lia       Brown      Rojas

                    Greenie
                           D-Mac

Crowther
Daniel
Pavlovich
Toto

That bench. *Cringe*

dompost has Siggy out but not manny

hope that is the case

bit of a worry with lia and timmo also at risk

I concede that I'm a tad biased but some of those yellows seemed a bit soft

Flew to Queensland to play the Roar....Queensland = palmtrees + heat + humidity + crocodiles + mosquitoes + coconuts = tropics

Considering the constant tackles from behind and shirt pulling that the jets dished up,they were very soft cards given to us.

Still wondering what Griffiths said!

Gold Coast is NOT in the tropics.

still wondering why Brockie wasn't booked for continuing after the whistle.

He even put the ball in the back of the net. Cheat.
