The terraces

Supporters organise against the Newcastle Jets board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad

Words exchanged at Newcastle Jets

Zach Clough and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Newcastle Jets

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joe Lolley was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Newcastle Jets promote Toby Richards from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Toby Richards has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

The dugout

Tom Wood gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
