How good are the Jets going?

Great to see the jets doing well in the early part of the season.
As a season ticket holder I love the A League but I understand it's not everyones cup of tea. Please don't be afraid to speak your mind. Just because I'm form Belfast I promise I won't blow you up for stating what you believe is the truth no matter how misguided.

I am not so familiar with the A-league...I assume that it is popular ?!?...soccer (English football) right?

When I first read the title of the post I was thinking that you were referring to the New York Jets of the Gridiron (American Football) NFL fame...since that season is just kicking off in the US...as a gridiron fan I was interested in the post...

Sorry to burst your bubble Scott but you are on the money, it's football with the round ball. Officially it's called football now in Australia to bring it in line with the rest of the world.

I see the most votes are for What is the A league.

The A League is an eight team football comp in Australia and New Zealand.
The table after three games stands thus

P=Played W=Won D=Drawn L=Loss F-Goals for your team A=Goals Agianst your team GD= Goal difference Pts= Points

1.Central Coast mariners P 3 W 3 D 0 L 0 F 5 A 0 GD 5 Pts 9

2.Newcastle Jets P 3 W 1 D 2 L 0 F 2 A 1 GD 1 Pts 5

3.Adelaide United P 3 W 0 D 3 L 0 F 5 A 5 GD 0 Pts 3

4.Melbourne Victory P 3 W 0 D 3 L 0 F 3 A 3 GD 0 Pts 3

5.Perth Glory P 3 W 0 D 3 L 0 F 0 A 0 GD 0 Pts 3

6.Queenslanr Roar P 3 W 0 D 2 L 1 F 3 A 4 GD-1 Pts 2

7.Sydney FC P 3 W 0 D 2 L 1 F 2 A 3 GD-1 Pts 2

8.Wellington Phoenix P 3 W 0 D 1 L 2 F 2 A 6 GD-2 Pts 1

I will upgrade the table after each round.
I hope this helps a little.

I don't follow any particular team but I do enjoy a good game of football.
I wish they could put on a few games in Canberra then I could get along to them.

Cheers

I hope the league expands soon. Maybe a team from the nations capital and one from Tasmania might work.

I don't follow footy at all, never have taken to the sport.

The Perth Glory seem to have faded a bit. weren't they in the Grand Finals a few times in the last couple of years.

Cheers

cahullian · #11 27-09-2007, 11:42 AM

They sure were Ric but like all things if you dont have your downs you dont know your ups. Perth were good in the old NSL but have found it hard going in the HAL.

The Jets have a couple of games on the road the next few weeks. Sydney FC then the league leaders Centrtal Coast Mariners. I like these away matches as I can get to them in under 2 hours travel.

Ric · #12 27-09-2007, 08:21 PM

I know what you mean Gazz I've waited 10 years to see Manly have a start in a grand final.

It was a sad trip to Sydney for the Jets fans last week and this week wont be any easier as we are off to face the league leaders.
Good wins also by Melbourne, Wellington and Adelaide has tightened things up in the middle of the table. Should be a good weekend for football.

I think I'll have to start supporting the Glory, they look like they could use it

I always enjoy suporting the underdogs it's always more of a buzz when they have a win.

Cheers

cahullian · #15 07-10-2007, 12:45 AM

You're not wrong Ric I think Perth are in for a very long season. Queensland had a good win over Phoenix yesterday and Melbourne had a good win over Sydney tonight and are now in 2nd spot I hope the jets can get a result tomoprrow to regain our place.

cahullian · #16 18-10-2007, 01:54 PM

Come on Glory, if they can just convert some of those draws into wins they will be right up there.

It's been almost a calendar year since Perth have had a win. I'm wondering how long Smithy can keep his job.
