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!

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.

yeah i believe the proximty of brosque and the fact that danny appeared to bend his body/ move his arm to wards the ball sealed it - plus the ref was 50m away

. that incident in that game is only relevant in that it could have broken us

. but we all know it didn't ... still got the plate ... upcoming gf

. last night's game will do the opposite to what that game could have done

Bikinigirl - I actually think it did break us for a short time, and it was a struggle for the next 3 or 4 games but last night and even the first leg we were a different team...

So it was poor positioning and a poor decision.....

Joel Griffiths is despicable, spineless, cheating, integrity-less, character-less, scum and an embarrassment to the human gene pool.  He needs to do society a favour and perform some experiments with forks and toasters

Post of the week so far. Top work!!

Glad you appreciated it :D

Better ref than Breeze. He let the game flow but did make one or two strange calls.

At least he didn't appear blatanly biased against us like Breeze.

I dont mean to be a dampener about giving card or anything (mainly because we can all see a legit card or not - without being biased ourselves if its for our team or not - nb: we play alot cleaner football than most teams here), but even if the Refs are from FIFA they more than likely follow some FFA agenda about bending rules - which means:

"hmm heads I give out lots of cards, tails not so many"
*flips coin, lands on the side*
"meh i'll make it up as i go along better yet, i'll watch the AR's more than the game.. or even the clouds.. is there anything fluffier than one, oh I know my wallet."


That's pretty much how it goes, why? because we dont have better Football Associations that's why!

And just to add what i already said, that's not biased to any particular team - it's just how the Refs and the FFA work, just Breeze tampers with his coin toss for it to be "how many cards do I give Sydney's Opposition whoever they may be".
