Melbourne loses to Newcastle, but retains top spot

0
An impressive Newcastle Jets side scored a 1-0 victory over Melbourne on Saturday night. The Victory finished the game with ten men after Archie Thompson was shown a straight red for swearing at the ref. Again, Melbourne played its best football when it was down a man; until that point, Newcastle looked to be well in [. Click to continue reading...

Newcastle Jets 2-2 Wellington Phoenix

0
Defending A-League champions Newcastle had to settle for a draw after Shane Smeltz's late penalty allowed Wellington to equalise at the Energy Australia Stadium. Wellington, who beat Sydney 2-1 last week, took the lead through Smeltz's 52nd minute penalty after Daniel Piorkowski produced a clumsy challenge to stop Vaughan Coveny. Click to continue reading...

Jason Hoffman and the Jets.

3
Under 20's Aussie Coach Jan Versliejen recently hailed Jason Hoffman as one of the best players in his squad. Although I think it's fair to say he hasn't translated any of this form or confidence to his Jets performances yet.

Versleijen's next squad is due to be announced Monday for the upcoming ASEAN tournament. Click to continue reading...

Jets Kruse past Farina's men

3
Joel Griffiths who else, tucked a scrappy goal away to earn the Newcastle Jets their first win of the season, and an away win in Fortress Suncorp:)

Uber Coach Gary Van Egmond is making the best of a bad bunch and quickly.

A side looking a shadow of their former Champion selves stuttered early in the season and got flogged 5-0 in Melbourne. Click to continue reading...

1

Utter Destruction: Melbourne Victory beat Newcastle Jets 5-0

0
Wow. Well that settles that. Three strikers on at a time is a good idea. A very good idea. The match started lively enough, with both sides looking evenly matched. An injury to Michael Thwaite forced Ernie Merrick to make an early substitution. With no defenders to pick from, Merrick chose the most daring option: Archie [. Click to continue reading...

Shannon Cole scored a superb late free-kick to give Sydney FC an away win in Gosford, and Jade North found the net even later for the Jets in Perth.

Goals everywhere in the opening games.

Shannon Cole scored the winner, he almost did the same the week before against Melbourne. Last week his free kick bounced off the post, this week it went in to seal the win against the Mariners. Click to continue reading...

Grand Final: Germans think it's Soccer:).

Well 37,000 turned up in Sydney to watch the Grand Final, including me.

I sold my tickets, I had two extra, to to German fans. $65 each bargained down to $60for the pair. That was the demand for tickets on the day.

After about 70 minutes of fast, misplaced passes with some moments of joy one German said to me, "Now I know why you call it soccer. Click to continue reading...

Why I want Newcastle Jets to win..

1
bandwagon

Because I have a ticket for the Grand Final. Can't wait..even before the Semi.
And I reckon the atmosphere will be that bit more special for a Jets/Mariners final.

It will be close but my head says the Roar by one but my heart wants the Jets!

Don't miss it today, this will be the most passionate emotional semi-final we've had. Click to continue reading...

Roar and Newcastle to win?

0
Can the Roar win a big game at home. Apart from the opening day of Season 1, I can't think of a game when the Roar have won in front of a big expectant crowd.

And the Jets, surely they are home, surely. But if the Mariners score first, won't it be fun for the neutrals?

The Roar need to score, probably twice with away goals counting double. Click to continue reading...
