Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets: 1-1

MVFC Blog 03 September @ 08:15 AM EST

Pedestrian. Lethargic. Boring.

A shade over 15,000 came out to watch 90 minutes of the dullest football I've ever seen at the Dome. It all went wrong about three minutes in when Billy Celeski went down and stayed down. No Celeski. No Hernandez. The only bright spark for me was Matthew Kemp, who was in fine form after a couple weeks away.

3-3

10,733 people braved the rain, and the majority watched in horror as North Queensland went ahead first after Robbie Fowler timed a run perfectly to score off a James Robinson wonder-cross, to the delight of the captain.

A-LEAGUE UPDATE: Ex-Liverpool and Tranmere Rovers strikers score on their debuts, but end up on losing sides

Les Rosbifs 14 August @ 09:25 AM EST
Robbie Fowler got off the mark on his A-League debut last weekend, although his North Queensland Fury fell to a 3-2 home defeat against Sydney FC. Fowler, formerly of Liverpool and made club captain, converted a penalty after an hour to level the scores at 2-2. However, former Portsmouth man John Aloisi scored a winner [.

Les Rosbifs 27 July @ 09:03 AM EST
You may (or may not) have noticed that the frequency of posting on Les Rosbifs has not been as frequent over the past few days. This is due to some extensive research into the playing histories of the members of the list, as well as checking if they are all at the clubs they were [...] Click to continue reading...

Harry Rednapp: Aussie angle???

Football in the Capital 06 July @ 06:48 PM EST
Tottenham manager Harry Rednapp was, amazingly, cleared of corruption allegations raised in the book I mention below in the previous post.
With managers on the take the "Brian Clough" or "George Graham" syndrome of getting $100,000 in cash or in Graham's case maybe $500,000 in a Jersey bank account for a player transferring in or out of their club makes for interesting reading and many football fans will have followed these stories.

Jets departure lounge still crowded

Football in the Capital 29 June @ 06:11 PM EST
Inspiring A-League Coach Gary Van Egmond leaves the Newcastle Jets for the sheltered workshop down in Canberra.
Maybe after three years in Newcastle working with Con everyone should be given such a job!
I'm not happy, not because I don't think teaching our Under 17's aren't important, but because Van Egmond was one of the few coaches in the A-League who could produce great football teams, good young players. Click to continue reading...

Jets to be tested. Our next Socceroo on show.

Football in the Capital 23 June @ 06:17 PM EST
Nearpost football hosts Russ and Aaron are convinced the Jets will lose, nay get pumped tonight against the Pohang Denilson led Steelers in the Asian Champions League one-off last 16 game in Korea.
I'm not. I think they can win.
Either way watching Ben Kantarovski, Jason Hoffman, Tarek Elrich, Brodie Mooy, Mark Jesic, Adam D'Apuzzo, Kaz Patafta and Sean Rooney all young Aussies being tested on the continental stage is a joy. Click to continue reading...

Wednesday 20th May: News

Soccer City FC 21 May @ 10:04 AM EST
The Eastern European grip on the UEFA Cup, drawing to a close in the wake of the rebranded Europa League, stiffened as Shakhtar Donetsk became the first-ever Ukrainian team to win a European contest following on from the breakup of the Soviet Union. Brazilian duo Luiz Adriano and Jádson stole the accolades for Shakhtar, who were forced into extra-time once opposing compatriot Naldo equalised from a 30-year free-kick for Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen.

No rest for Jets!

Football in the Capital 20 May @ 05:24 PM EST
Let's hear it for the A-League. The A-Leagues worst club in Season 4, the Newcastle Jets, has made it into the last 16 of the Asian Champions League with a strong display of tactical and technical football
And they've been playing some great football in Asia. Why?
Because in Korea last night they didn't have to play on an Aussie cow paddock. Click to continue reading...

Asia review: Matchday 4. McKinna regains credibility..but not Tobin?

Football in the Capital 24 April @ 03:28 AM EST
Mariners and Jets both needed wins in matchday 4 and despite some notable performances they both flopped badly to Japanese sides.
Yes that's right the "technically better Japanese sides".
But maybe it's not the technical difference between the players that is so crucial to results against Japanese sides. Click to continue reading...

Aussie clubs floundering in the face of Japanese might

Soccerphile World Cup Blog 22 April @ 08:04 PM EST
Twelve games played. Seven defeats. Four draws. One win.
That's the record A-League clubs currently hold against their Japanese counterparts in the Asian Champions League, with Australian teams struggling to hold their own against the might of the Japanese game.
The trend continued this week when Central Coast Mariners lost for the second straight time to Kawasaki Frontale, while Newcastle Jets missed a penalty in succumbing to Nagoya Grampus at home. Click to continue reading...

Sergio van Dijk -- Hat Trick!

Soccer City FC 17 January @ 09:33 AM EST
Queensland Roar forward Sergio van Dijk scored three goals to defeat Sydney FC. The Dutch import has been a sensation in the A-League this season. And he again delighted the supporters with a three-goal effort at Suncorp Stadium. The 26-year-old has 10 goals on the season and 5 in the last two league matches. Click to continue reading...

Soccer Past: Mario Jardel

Soccer City FC 31 December @ 01:04 PM EST
Rio Grande de Sol, Porto, Istanbul, Lisbon, Bolton, Ancona, Rosario, Larnaca, Newcastle – The destinations on show for Mario Jardel's career could have been easily mistaken for the jet-setting antics of an affluent tycoon, but such has been the geographical scope of his profession that it pays perfect testiment to the life and times of the ultimate journeyman.

Newcastle put four past Melbourne

MVFC Blog 21 December @ 05:22 PM EST
I may not be the world's greatest strategist, but Ernie Merrick's substitutions on Friday night made no sense to me. Perhaps I'm missing the big picture. But if you're down two goals at half time, then concede a third five minutes in, surely that's an ideal time to bring on some fresh attacking legs? Click to continue reading...

Melbourne loses to Newcastle, but retains top spot

MVFC Blog 19 October @ 06:08 PM EST
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

MVFC Blog 16 October @ 07:52 PM EST
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 are sitting sixth on the ladder, a solid three points away from the fourth-placed [. Click to continue reading...

Newcastle Jets 2-2 Wellington Phoenix

Soccer Blog|Football News, Reviews, Quizzes 06 October @ 10:00 AM EST
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.

Football in the Capital 28 September @ 04:30 AM EST
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...

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

MVFC Blog 14 September @ 07:46 PM EST
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. So has Gary van Egmond's decision to keep Patafta out of the squad vindicated Ernie Merrick's decisions regarding Patafta last year? Click to continue reading...

Utter Destruction: Melbourne Victory beat Newcastle Jets 5-0

MVFC Blog 30 August @ 12:57 AM EST
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...

A-League: Goals, Cole, Goals

Football in the Capital 23 August @ 06:12 PM EST
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...
