    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.

    Offside has been revised - making it a bit easier on defenders

    HOME ELIMINATION FINAL (YEAH BABY!!!!) vs Cowbells United - match thread

    Can't believe we're actually here. Freezing my tits off in Melbourne, I'm insanely jealous of everybody who is able to turn up to this momentous occasion. No matter what happens from here, we've absolutely made it this season. We've all suffered, hard, and this is redemption. I hope to...

    Mariners vs Perth Glory - MW12 - the 'didn't we just play you ?' round

    Figured I may as well start it. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous given how under the pump we were in the 2nd half the last time we played them, though we SHOULD be able to take care of them without a problem - and I think we will win, but this will be really interesting. Going to be a big...

    Avatar changed itself

    Hmm....so, a few weeks (or months?) ago I changed my avatar to the great, the one and only, Kwasaldinho....yet I just noticed it's reverted back to the one I used to have. Seen that before? Any ideas what might be at play there?

    My thoughts on our state of affairs

    I started writing this...an hour later I realised I wrote an essay. Oh well, read it or don't. I can't even add in a tl;dr to this. In 2 parts though as I've breached the single post character limit. I could have started with the usual rhetoric of how upsetting it is to see what's happened...

    Expansion thread

    Announcement at noon but news is reporting West Melbourne approved for next season and south West Sydney the season after. West Melbourne.... Just ... Why? ? Unlike West Sydney they don't really have a strong regional identity that I've ever heard. Geelong isn't west Melbourne. This is...

    Well, interesting weekend. MV being on the bottom of the table with 0 points after 2 games brings me severe happiness.

    How VAR will work at the World Cup

    It's an interesting setup they're going to be using. Worth checking it out. Also Discusses how the offside line will work - seems like they'll try to account for the head/chest etc as well, unlike what we see with the offside line currently...

    2016/17 Other A-League Games

    I can't see that a thread has been created, so I figure I'd start one. So, we're a week out from the start of the season and yet again there is no advertising whatsoever in Melbourne. If I didn't proactively find out when the season starts I wouldn't have any inkling it was approaching. How...

    How does the Yellow Army organise (like today's protest)?

    So, living in Vic now i'm a bit out of the loop (didn't even get to watch the game today either), but I saw the banners on facebook from the YA as well as hearing about the silence at 30min (and there's some 30 day thing?).. So what I'm wondering is, how does this stuff get organised and...

    Privacy scandal from the FFA - and more libel from the scumbag media.

    So, shit hit the fan a bit today. I'm not going to post the article because every click means financial support - but basically, that old-poo-and-crud-that-forms-under-the-lip-of-the-toilet-bowl excuse for a human being Rebecca Wilson has come all out with a stack of blatant lies about how bad...

    2013/4 Grand Final Discussion

    So even though weren't not in it I assume one or two people are still interested. I expected these 2 teams would wind up in the GF. Who are you going for? Personally, I'm going for Roar. While I really, really, really hate Berisha (ten bucks says he scores the winning f****** goal), it's the...

    Help me prove HAL fans are better behaved than NRL ones!!

    Just a quick one - having an online argument with some moron trying to claim that NRL crowds are better behaved than HAL crowds. I know somebody on here posted some stats showing spectator evictions from AFL, NRL etc - anybody know where I can find that? My google-fu must be weak, can't find...
