Mariners Squad - HAL 14 - 2018- 2019 - The challenge for Mike Mulvey is over

[pinklady]

So are you saying the club has withdrawn the offer to him of an A-League contract for the remainder of this season?

No - he was only ever offered (and signed) a scholarship for the remainder of this season. The full contract was supposed to be from 1 June

 

[greenlig]

It’s another clusterf@$k from our football department.

I think clusterf@$k.com is the new contact email for CCM.

We need an "Infuriating" 'react' for this shite... @Capn Gus Bloodbeard hit the nail on the head... Up until this season it's been largely possible to write this shit up as inexperience and incompetence, but it's getting to a point now where all we're getting increasingly feels like lies followed by more lies... The fact resistence is as bad as any in federal politics currently, WTF is going on? Surely they can see that the club is tanking? Surely they can see that even the die-hards are on their way out?
Irrespective of what Charlesworth's plans might be, surely Shaun and the rest still have to live on the coast even if the club folds - you'd think it'd be in their best interest to be open and honest about what's going on...

I'm not sure what cut the club gets on ticket sales and how the costs scale with numbers but the drop in average attendance since 15-16 is around 2k and likely to fall a bit more before the end of the season. Doing some rough numbers I'd be surprised to see us top 5.8k average unless we do something drastic and that's assuming really bad weather doesn't wipe out any remaining home games. Terrible weather for the WSW game is the worst case scenario. Depending how the numbers stack up and what the clubs cut of ticketing is the crowd drop could plausibly be worth 250-400k over a season and thats the price of consistently poor performance. Add in whatever it's done to sponsorship as well and it makes you wonder how things are going the way they have been.

Yep. Well said.

 

[Michael]

Anyone able to see how training was today?

 

[COYY]

The players are off until Thursday.

The players are off until Thursday.

Perhaps they misinterpreted the half time talk of if you lose this game dont come in on Monday.

 

[COYY]

Staff are off aswell I believe.

 

[adz]

Have a f**ken holiday guys lol

 

[UnitedsNo9]

Where they ever on?

 

[Fadetoblack944]

I do not understand how this works lose a game 5-3 get 3 days off

 

[COYY]

The Sheffield boys need to see the sights otherwise their time here is pointless, it's not like they are going to become better footballers.

 

[Blackadder]

Matt Simon has been cited by the FFA , after his 95min red card and subsequent spray of the Referee.
Wonder if Lucas will be cited for pretending to be a Referee?

 

[turbo]

Kind of expecting Matty to cop a decent ban despite plenty of other players regularly carrying on to the ref like clowns. McKay got called the ref a fcking cheat and got 1 game. Then there was this last year: https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/brosque-avoids-ban-over-spitting-incident

But being Matty and playing for CCM multiple weeks is probably how it goes. Not that I disagree it’s just inconsistent. Kind of like the pen we copped v Sydney and the ones we didn’t get on Friday.

Indeed, Brosque among others gets away with abusing Refs on a regular basis.
If Matt Simon was anyone else, would've had Two penalties awarded to him vs Brisbane. Not condoning his actions, but when you are getting hacked, shirt pulled etc and nothing something has to give in the end.

 

[FFC Mariner]

He deserves a ban - stupid prick let the club down. No one to blame but himself

Could have got his 2nd yellow for diving in the 2nd half.

 

[pjennings]

Four weeks is my tip.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Murray needs a decent run in the side up top.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Hopefully Mulvey will get cited as well and he will be out forr the remainder of this season plus next.
