A Quote from John 'Just knocke'm down' Kosmina.
"All of my mates outside of the club are envious but to be honest Id much rather be travelling north to Newcastle, a team we have beaten three times this season for a chance to take on the Mariners in the Grand Final in two weeks' time.
On that note I must congratulate the Central Coast on what can only be described as an outstanding performance last Sunday rolling the Jets by the necessary three goals to get them through.
There was an element of luck about a couple of their goals but then you make your own luck by the sheer weight of hard work and endeavour in finals series.
The Mariners played their trademark game and virtually beat Newcastle into submission they got stuck in early and never let their opponents off the canvas.
And I must congratulate the referee, Ben Williams, on his performance.
Ive never been one to be overly complimentary about officials but Bens game was the best performance Ive seen in the A-League since inception and probably going back to the old NSL.
I thought I was watching an EPL game and there is no doubt in my mind that Williams should get the Grand Final. Referees are no different to players in that that should be judged and rewarded on performance and after that display Ben deserves the biggest game of the season."

The Ref for the 2nd leg semi, Ben Williams was a lot better than Breeze. I would't say he was outstanding but a least he allowed the game to be played and not ruin with to many red/yellow cards.
Whats the general opinion?
