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

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

Amazing how one mistake by a defender comes back to haunt him compared with missed opportunities by attackers. Sea Dog was rightly disappointed in his shocking penalty that cost us three points, and who knows how our season would have panned out had he netted those points. Our position on the ladder may have been different, and maybe playing different opposition in the finals and perhaps at home too. Defending is bloody hard. It requires high level communication with the others and confidence that they will perform their task correctly depending on a given scenario. Unlike attackers, there are no comparable stats for preventing a goal which is just as important as scoring one for the team. [Yes, I was a defender :} A mistake by a defender is remembered. One by an attacker rarely is.]

It's true I particularly enjoyed this nutmeg goal on snake dog from Apia Leichardt to knock the Winners out of the cup. Nothing to do with him being a defender, all to do with it coming so soon after him dogging us to be a winner. If it hadn't been him I'd have long forgotten it.
