Match23 Jan 2030

Macarthur FC march on in the cup

Melbourne Victory are out and Macarthur FC go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Dylan Jackson damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match28 Jan 2030

Macarthur FC are in real trouble now

Position 10, 13 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Conor Tracey stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets28 Jan 2030

Henry Blackledge is a medical away from Macarthur FC

The deal with Melbourne Victory is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad28 Jan 2030

A falling-out at Macarthur FC

Kosta Grozos and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets28 Jan 2030

Macarthur FC rebuffed over Vinko Stanisic

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Western Sydney Wanderers have kept their man, and Macarthur FC go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Sebastian Esposito falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match26 Jan 2030

Western Sydney Wanderers take the points off Macarthur FC

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad21 Jan 2030

The knee: Dylan Jackson out for 26 days

26 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Macarthur FC lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match19 Jan 2030

Nowhere to hide for Macarthur FC

0‑3 against Perth Glory, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market21 Jan 2030

Henrique Oliveira asks to leave Macarthur FC

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad21 Jan 2030

Conor Tracey keeps Macarthur FC in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets21 Jan 2030

Western Sydney Wanderers tell Macarthur FC: Harrison Devenish-Meares is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad21 Jan 2030

Words at Macarthur FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sebastian Esposito is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout21 Jan 2030

Conor Tracey 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.

Boardroom21 Jan 2030

Doors closed at Macarthur FC

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout21 Jan 2030

Vladislav Chesnokov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings3 Dec 2029

Vintage Ryan Fraser — 7.87

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.87, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market3 Dec 2029

Dylan Jackson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Macarthur FC can pretend not to have heard.

Match1 Dec 2029

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for Macarthur FC. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match1 Dec 2029

Macarthur FC see off Newcastle Jets

Three points for Macarthur FC, 1‑0 the final word against Newcastle Jets in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Words at Macarthur FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Liam Rose is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout3 Dec 2029

The manager makes an example of Liam Rose

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings3 Dec 2029

Kosta Grozos stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.96 on the card, and the Macarthur FC support went home talking about one name.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Chris Moore makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout3 Dec 2029

Vladislav Chesnokov has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Vladislav Chesnokov on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Match3 Nov 2029

No end in sight to Macarthur FC's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Macarthur FC has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout5 Nov 2029

Luke Supyk: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Macarthur FC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market5 Nov 2029

Dylan Jackson asks to leave Macarthur FC

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad5 Nov 2029

Liam Rose signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Liam Rose commits to Macarthur FC for another 2 years.

Match3 Nov 2029

Luke Supyk’s goal not enough for Macarthur FC

Luke Supyk scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Western Sydney Wanderers, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad5 Nov 2029

Words at Macarthur FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sebastian Esposito is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad5 Nov 2029

200 appearances for Chris Ikonomidis

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

The dugout5 Nov 2029

Vladislav Chesnokov answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad5 Nov 2029

Too much change too quickly at Macarthur FC

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief
