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 vs Melbourne Victory: Round 8 Preview

0
Gary van Egmond and the Newcastle Jets have a chance for revenge tomorrow night when they host the Melbourne Victory. In round 3, when these two teams first met, Melbourne did to Newcastle what the Socceroos did to Qatar: thrashed them.

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...

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...

Have Ernie Merrick’s decisions about Kaz Patafta been vindicated?

1
We're four rounds into the A-League, and Kaz Patafta is yet to appear for his new club, the Newcastle Jets. All this after the youngster left Melbourne in search of regular game time.

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...

Goals everywhere in the opening games.

Canberra's Shaun Ontong on the move?

3
Adelaide United's Shaun Ontong is expected to sign for the Newcastle Jets this week.

Former Australian Under 20 Captain Ontong was given a lifeline last season by United after difficult times overseas. Limited game time, however, has probably meant he's keen to move to a club where prospects of playing are increased. Click to continue reading...

CANBERRA - LET’S PARTY

Okay steady on. It should read Newcastle. Apparently they are having a party, wasting some taxpayers money on a flyover, getting all the kids out of school for the Jets party and all because they won a football match.

Central Coast Mariners 0, Newcastle Jets 1 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYLWew_juA[/url] So Mark Bridge's glittering goal has made the Newcastle Jets Australia's A-League champions.

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...

Many Canberrans are heading up to the A-League Grand Final tomorrow. Most are neutral but those that are barracking for a side are leaning towards the Mariners.


Games in Canberra between Belconnen/Sydney FC v Central Coast has done the trick.

"We're all Novacastrians. Go the Jets."

I'm sitting at my computer, Monday morning 10am. Quiet suburban Canberra street, Gum trees, the odd maggie flies by. Suddenly a car screeches into next doors driveway, flag out the window. A black and white flag.

Out jumps John, Geordie John. Click to continue reading...

Newcastle 3 Queensland Roar 2 (AET)

"Hello to everyone in Queensland," says Newcastle Jets winning striker Joel Griffith on Fox Sports after the game.

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...

A-League Grand Final preview

I have to admit, I have seen little of Australia's A-League, but with the Pan Pacific Championships coming up next week, I've started to pay more attention to the land of the Socceroos (easily my favorite national team nickname, though I'm still pushing the Snakes for the US MNT to apparently deaf ears so far.

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?

Queensland Roar v Sydney FC

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

Poll: Should the Grand Final be played in Sydney?

2
The Newcastle Jets are pissed. They've finished the A-League season in excellent fashion, landing a spot in the top two - and guaranteeing a double shot at reaching the Grand Final. But they won't get the Grand Final at home, whether they win against the Central Coast Mariners or not. The FFA has decided that neither Central [. Click to continue reading...

Preview: Melbourne Victory vs. Newcastle Jets

7
The Newcastle Jets are the only team to beat the Melbourne Victory at home this season. They pulled off that victory in a round 10 encounter that was dramatic for all the wrong reasons: a send-off, a penalty not given, and a verbal assault on Joel Griffiths. Melbourne fans came away from that game feeling hard-done [. Click to continue reading...
