Amazing effort after having not just 'not played for a month', but given a couple weeks of that was beating Covid and being in iso unable to train. Mammoth from the team and staff. So happy for Monty and all us CCM fans who've stuck in there through thick and thin. So proud. So instead of a long dissertation or match thoughts, I'll just say two words...

FINALS BITCH!

Tell me about it….

Our tickets to tonight’s game are still on the kitchen countertop unused after my 87 year old Mother sadly passed away overnight.

I messaged Monty before the game to apologise for not being able to be there to get behind the boys and he promised that they would win it for her.

I would like to think that she was looking down on the game from on high, as she knew how much we have loved this club since day one.

Suddenly, one of the worst days of my life seems a little brighter, thank you CCM. ??

Very sorry to hear that OH. May she rest in peace.

Watch out you’ll be burnt on the cross if you criticise Marco too much around here

No. Bullshit needs to be called. If your going to go out hard with your opinion you need to be ready to be absolutely f**king wrong. Hell, I've been there and came whimpering back with my tail between my legs. If others can't accept when they're wrong then they'll be told.

Just banter, no harm intended.

That's the point.
Enjoying what we've got....... if your not resilient and come out with a very hard opinion that turns out wrong then maybe that's on you...?

Power went out here last night due to weather. Smh. Bur just got finished watching the highlights. Great effort the by the guys and on to our first ever cup final. Love love love it. Calm finish by Urena and anytime beat that team from Sydney is a good result.

Might just be our year my friends!

Makes sense for a weeknight in the rain and all the covid craziness going on. Still not a good number for FA though.

The notion you'd get a combination of being burned at the stake and nailed to a cross, à la Joan of Arc and Jesus, seems a slightly over the top description of the experience of having other people hold and express different opinions to one's own.

Wombat and I would've barbecued each other countless times if that was the going rate for daring to disagree. And West Gosford Bunnings' fasteners aisle would be as empty as Wellington Phoenix's trophy cabinet.

Only having watched the second half and then the highlights, i dont see why the hate for Urena. Redmayne kept SFC in the game with some brilliant saves that he didnt really have a right to save (e.g. the 2x Moresche follow ups). My only shooting complaint for Urena was when he was closed down by Warland (i think) and just scuffed the shot, i think he could have done more there but a Warland did enough to throw him off.

I'm also really happy that Redmayne got beaten down the middle between the legs, after he dances around like an idiot every single penalty.

Just quietly, that was a 4th consecutive clean sheet. (And the 2 games before that we conceded a deflection and a penalty.) When did that last happen.

A big factor in that is the form of our centre backs, both were magnificent again last night. Ruon was great last year but for me he has to bide his time now, Dan and Kye are our starting CBs on current form.
