Matchday 24 versus Plastics

[FFC Mariner]

No smoke without fire. Chairman's comments and the players denial.
I fear the worst

Last one from me.. only just got to Nizzy’s goal.. so funny. He dances straight through them and they are all kinda looking around him like .. “where are you going with that little buddy?” ?

I was yelling at him to shoot when he was still 5 or so metres outside the box. He kept running and no one jumped out at him.

10 goods.

Awesome crowd + atmosphere last night, and (short of a win) the ideal send-off for the regular home season.

Danny's best game all season in goal, and the team as a whole played as well as they did against Brisbane last fortnight but (obviously) came up against a much more capable side. Hopefully the squad stay fit and out of trouble with the officials, because it looks like we're peaking at just the right time. Even my outlook on the conclusion to this season is a pessimistic one (GF in Sydney and all). Saying that, this coming week marks the 10th anniversary of our maiden Championship, and going into that game I was more pessimistic than I've ever been leading into a match.

So make of that what you will...

Played probably our best whole game in a few months, when we were without possession it wasn’t for long periods and we weren’t turning the ball over to often to put ourselves under pressure.

Got caught a few times turning into the middle and getting caught by their press but overall the best we have dealt with it against City who aren’t the same as they were under Kisnorbo.

A few players rose to the occasion and had their best games of the season.

I think we got excited a but to much with the punch it long from Danny, especially as we aren’t quick but did get through a couple of times but last 10 minutes it caused turnovers that put pressure on us we didn’t need.

Kaltak at RB. Anybody have that curveball in their bingo card. Was actually very astute as he is quick and city do leave a whole for the cross field ball but we we’re better with Nizzy coming up that side and picking the whole as they do leave some room.

Beni was good early and used his height to win the duel and drop it back to Niz. Worked really well early but he was a tad lazy to help Storm on the goal although Storm was loose but worse was in the second half he had the ball on the right and storm was flying through a massive hole from a long way back and Beni had his head down and tried his tricks unsuccessfully and missed Storm altogether and he would have got very deep in the box. He’s not playing as well this year.

How good is a Nizzy goal

Fantastic game to watch, very exciting and some spectacular saves.

 

[Hello Sailor]

wow. I could

Maybe we can get some designs drawn up and ask the community what they think.


And then not do anything.

Incorporate the multi million dollar Regional Library with the stadium and add a roof at the same time.

 

[FFC Mariner]

They will probably do it when they do the massive waterfront development - you know, where the ferries will dock

I`d prefer we build the Mariners Football Club on the bowling greens with direct access along the back of bay 16.Make it about 6-7 stories high people so people could also watch the game over the bay 16 roof...

Someone correct me if I am wrong but only ten percent of the pink jersey auction proceeds went to the Cancer Council? Wasn’t past years one hundred percent?

And where were the donation buckets this year? I wanted to give money but not buy a jersey.

If true. (If) that's a disgrace. Greed is an ugly thing

If true.. its pennywise and pound foolish as it leaves a nasty taste... and makes you think about other actives and are they also raided and thus no support... not a good look for the community club if true..

I assumed it was a typo, maybe not.

From the FB post:

Hi All, This year we announced at the very start that money from this round would be raised for Cancer Council & The Yellow and Navy Foundation. This year Cancer Council's primary objective was centred around an awareness campaign and less focused on fundraising elements. Despite this, we included fundraising elements to the campaign whilst also supporting the Yellow and Navy Foundation and providing a platform for other causes such as Bears of Hope. It is important to highlight that the Central Coast Mariners will not retain any funds from the Auction. This always has been and always will be a charitable round and we have contributed a considerable amount of time and money to give back. ??


Probably only 10% of the shirt should be pink then?!

That foundation is Anton's charity tax dodge isn't it?

How he funds the academy and claims it as a charitable foundation I meant.
Very weak reasons posted by the club for skimming a charity.

Easy ?. It does leave a bad smell though, many of those donations would have been based on them going to cancer research, I don't think this was clearly communicated but I doubt it was intentionally misleading.

TBH I could do without this drama and distraction. Best season for years, massive derby game in 3 days. Focus on the football and enjoy it. Yeah selfish but I'm a member of a football club that I've poured a lot of time and years of support into through some really dark times. This is our fkn moment in the light as supporters, at last, let's 'av it and stop bitching at the club. They're giving 100% of proceeds to charity. It could be zero, there's no obligation to do anything for charity, sometimes I think these efforts get taken for granted and expected.

FTS. Let's focus on that. We're a real chance for Asia cup at this point. COYY. Bring your support.
