Damn, Heskey would be a massive signing. Love to see him play out here. BUT wish it was for any other club but the jets.

I'm afraid I expect him to be a standout in the HAL. We'll see.

Scum away this Saturday night. No Griffiths (the other sack whack) for them.
We can do them, we just need a ref who is NOT Ben Williams

On a serious note for a moment-
Tonights' game really was a tale of two cities. In one corner, a team who entered this season with little attention or fuss despite being the Premiers. A team who, yet again, dominated the opposition despite losing (again) some of their most dangerous attacking players last season. A team who, at this point, look like winning the double. In the other corner: A team with one player who is expected to carry the team on his back, who despite the hype and the big signing fee is scoring less goals than a player the opposition team picked up for only a small fee 2 years ago. A team who lack vision or direction, and rather than basing their plan for success on a great youth policy or club infrastructure, would rather base their destiny on a mining magnate whose wealth is looking pretty shaky right now.
If the attitude of the supporters matches the attitude of the club as a whole, then maybe it explains their problem. Jest fans still go on and on and on and on (and ON) about the 2008 Grand Final, seemingly content to rest on a single afternoon of glory nearly 5 years ago. They especially like to bring it up at F3 Derby time, along with predictable comments about the Mariners Championship tally. It doesn't matter that Newcastle's most recent award is a wooden spoon and they have achieved very little since that February afternoon in 2008. They finished on the better side of the scoreboard in rather controversial circumstances. Doesn't matter that practically any other teams' fans point out that Mark Shield played a not unconsiderable part in the outcome that day. The fans (and the club?) are happy to rest on their laurels and just expect their sugar daddy to buy them another Championship when.........when............sometime in the future.
If the Mariners keep making, on average, a Grand Final every 2 years, the basic law of averages says that they will finish the game as winners sooner rather than later. Then what for Newcastle? Rather than (like the Mariners) build a better team since then and do everything in their power to become a bigger and better club and win more silverware, the Jets have seemingly been happy to live off past glories and just assume that it will come as easily a second time. Right now, the very existence of the club is in threat, but where is the back-up plan? Newcastle fans have already experienced having no club to support for nearly a month, why is there not more noise being made from their fans about the board doing everything to assure that they won't have to go 2 years without a club? Or forever?
While that lot are happy to keep living in the (well and truly faded) glow from the last Sunday of February 2008, the Mariners, as a club, do everything in their power to be consistently better. They know that consistently better can't just be a clever sounding motto, it has to be in the very nature of the clubs' existence, and the results show for themselves. They will win that elusive "toilet seat" long before the Jets can make the finals and then get Ben Williams to referee enough games to bring them repeat success. And that's just fine with me. I'm sure I speak for near every Mariners fan out there!

People from Newcastle living in the past?

Bigger chips on their shoulders than Queenslanders

As a Tasmanian, I find that offensive. Not the bit about the second head, Tasmanians work and can afford surgery. I'm offended by Tasmanians being lumped in with scummers

Yes....I'm terribly sorry.
I retract that statement.
One of my best friends is from Tassie.....I have no friends that are Scummers!
Please forgive me.
