ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners.

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.

The international game is a massive step up, particularly at the sharp end where players are often coming from the top clubs in the world.If the next Socceroos squad (March) is A-League only, I'd suggest the following Mariners have to be in the mix:
Birra; Rowles; Tongyik; Bozanic; De Silva
If you're top of the league, you ought to be dominating the rep teams, but I'd be amazed if they all got picked. Birra would have to be a shoe-in but the other four would have to be part of Arnie's conversations.
He was sold by us and that club loaned him out.No surprises there. Hopefully doesn't get returned to Mariners.
We're playing Kuwait and Nepal next.The international game is a massive step up, particularly at the sharp end where players are often coming from the top clubs in the world.
For me, most players in the A-league are not performing at that level, because they don't have to against relatively low league opposition. (A-league being, maybe 5th tier on the International scale). There are odd ones who display the talent and character to take the step up, but not many.
For example DDS, who undoubtedly has talent and is playing so much better than last year, is still losing the ball a lot through poor decision making. For international level those mistakes are too frequent. His inability to overcome fitness issues throughout last year, whether due to his physiology, mentality or emotional problems, is going to to be a mark against him.
I think the guys like Nizz and Alou, who have a fairly unblemished upward trajectory, and are still developing, would more likely be the choices for chancing by the very experienced Arnie.
Doesn't matter how many times I see it...still doesn't sit right with me.
Wouldn't matter if he could be there's no way he makes this teamNo surprises there. Hopefully doesn't get returned to Mariners.
