CCM v Newcastle Jets 23rd Dec

[greenlig]

Just enjoy it while you can.

Yeah the bottle is almost gone.

 

[Spacks]

Drove down from the goldy for this boys. Don't me down

Soft goal after blowing a freebie

Soft goal after blowing a freebie

Sounds a bit graphic

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

looked like he had a toe offside to me. Again, no real look at that from the commentators or VAR, same as last week.
That goal was coming for a while...

 

[Timmah]

Effort there, quality and playing stock simply isn't. Frustrating.

 

[greenlig]

Keeper jumped over it, should have done better.

 

[Insertnamehere]

Best we've played so far. Yet still not good enough.

Oh, Pearce's attempt there was pathetic. Hoole, even more so, I'm furious at him. Looks like both of them pulled back to avoid hitting each other.

 

[Insertnamehere]

Hoole. Drop him. Bye bye end of year.
Weemac was good today. Alot of work off the ball
Simon's best game.
O'Neill needs to do more up the pitch.
Pain and Millar excellent as has been the case so often this yr
Golec and Rowles ok. But no comms.
Clisby kinda nowhere again.
Shabow ok for first start.
Pearce nowhere. Bye bye. Take BK with you.

 

[Big Al]

One foreigner today he’s just as useless as the rest of them and should not have been signed

 

[Big Al]

Oh well we are half way there. 45mins of effort instead of 10-15mins

 

[Big Al]

It’s funny how halftime can ruin your momentum. We had them rattled and where up for it second half we lost our bite

 

[Big Al]

Pain why did you shoot so early and to the side the keeper had covered?

Couple more dribbles and near post was open. Cost us the game that moment

 

[style_cafe]

King's incredible inconsistency with what's a card and what isn't.... f**k me dead.

Boogaard should've arguably been sent at HT, and how the tackle on Millar earlier in the half wasn't a yellow is beyond me

I didn`t have a problem with kings initial decision making,but like you said the inconsistencies with the cards were absolutely mind numbing.
Our players carded (and rightly so) but Newcastle players,for similar or worse fouls got nothing!
It`s bloody infuriating as our players then tend to pull out of tackles for fear of another yellow.
If Shaun doesn`t blow up about this with the Referee`s / FFA then he`s lost me.

 

[Offsider]

Pretty sure Offy is in the santa suit

Should ‘ave gone to specsavers big al ..........

 

[Offsider]

Sounds a bit graphic

Freebie wouldn’t be complaining

 

[Tevor]

Best we've played so far. Yet still not good enough.

This precisely sums up our season, that’s the best we’ve got and every other team will still manage to beat us. At 60 mins I thought to myself we will lose this game. You could see the momentum swing and after Pain missed it was all over and we are a team who does not know how to win or have a player who can orchestrate one. What a piss poor Mariners crowd for a derby. By the end of the season there will be lucky to be 3,000 turn up. I’m not wearing my shirt to games until we start winning. Just going to go and enjoy a game of football, gutted we are so bad.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Any word on O'Neil? Looked like he popped a collar bone.

Maybe Mulvey will be forced to pick Tommy.

 

[turbo]

Classic mariners - just enough to give us hope before reality comes crashing in.

Last week MM said he was about giving youth a go and then starts 2 of our 3 oldest players Simon did well with the goal but I still wonder about the opportunity cost of starting him. It feels like we need to shoehorn them in at the cost of proper change.

Newcastle looked more likely to score and had more decent chances so I’d say the result was fair.

Lastly I dropped in to bay 16 in the second half while we were still 1-0 up. I know one of the guys that’s been trying to take up the mantle so I thought I’d lend my voice. It was a depressing experience with the guys up front left hanging and often a group at the back just doing their own (Quite negative) thing. I don’t know who’s who and haven’t earned my say but perhaps the people in that bay need to have a good think about what they want to happen in future. I’ve done the leadership when no one else wants it thing for other clubs (non football) and it gets old super fast. Most people don’t want to put their hand up that’s understandable but help the guys out.
The was a bloke in front of me in bay 16 cheering when Newcastle scored both goals, zero consequence or reaction. Wasn’t even wearing a mariners jersey. Could you imagine trying that in the RBB, jets away bays or the cove?
