    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Reffing shockers at CCM games (yeah I know)

If we need rest why play a friendly where we leaked 4 goals. If that was to try a new structure to sure up the defence it’s a real worry. Only positive is we have no idea what the squad looked like. Could have been a heap of Academy players.

Team of bench players that need game time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was decent minutes for back up keeper, Ballard, Steele, Cy, RT, Storm, Hatch etc.. maybe try some stuff early before giving the squad some time.

My Spanish is a little rusty but I think they are saying either "We dont want those shitty AFL goals on our pitch-its sacrilege;they get points even when they MISS" OR "What do you mean Ams and Evans are officiating"

What a f$&@inv joke. This league is screwed.
It is showing itself to be just as incompetent as football has always been in Australia. With all the promises of so many new starts, the pretend salary cap that gets regularly changed to suit the powerful, the addition of artificial clubs, the waste of money, the inconsistencies of rulings and officiating that has been amplified by the dumpster fire they call VAR, as well as the crap tv programming, coverage and commentary, the financial rip offs of the kids to fund has beens and the covered up scandals and incompetencies in the national teams has finally reached the point where I ask is it worth the trouble anymore?

Old football may have been corrupt and incompetent but it had history and soul. This league is more artificial than T20.

The old NSL was a tin pot league but we knew what it was. It didn’t over promise and under deliver.
