sounds like it was a good game shame i missed it
Just got back from the game....bit of a come down from beating the Jets 3-0. Some dumb things going on - especially Vukes yellow ??? and the slight aggro towards the end. Just frustration boiling over. Still.. the Olywhites are a tough team.
First goal they scored was good (sorry don't know scorers ) but second was soft and looked like defensive error. Ball just rolled in. Dylan didn't score until about 75mins, We nearly got an equaliser close to fulltime when Hutch crossed to Sash and he headed over the crossbar. Hutch was a worthy captain - ran himself ragged and delivered some killer corners but needed better support. Jedinak played in defence second half.
We fired up in the last 20 mins but too little too late. I'll leave the finer points of the game to someone else as I'm a bit shellshocked.

thanks for that jules
The game was horse shit from a mariners point of view. NZ should have has 4 goals in the first half.
Positives: Jedi carried the team and I thought elrich ran his ass off. He was running into CF coz the forwards were doing nothing. Ozzie played great at RB also. Macca worked hard occasionally but is very slow. That is all!!!!!!
Negatives: I thought hutch was very ordinay, slowed the ball down every time the mariners were looking to play up tempo football... very frustrating to watch. Caceras was slow and looked disinterested. Matt Simon very disappointing. If redmayne had a shit game how would you discribe Andrew Clark's performance? The word incompetent comes to mind.
All things aside, crap performance and we look very shaky in defence. A big improvement is needed before the season starts... not long now

found this article on the match on the NZ soccer website:
The Thai Airways Oly-Whites have continued their encouraging Olympic build-up by beating reigning A-League minor premiers Central Coast Mariners 2-1 in Wahroonga on Tuesday.
After splitting a two match series with Chiles U-23s in Wellington in early July, and being edged 2-3 by a strong Australian U-23 side on Saturday, the win is another promising sign from Stu Jacobs team as they prepare for their Olympic opener against China on August 7.
Its another encouraging performance, New Zealand coach Stu Jacobs said.
These games are all stepping stones to Beijing, but its nice to win them.
Weve just beaten an A-League side and got very close to Australia so you cant ask for much more than that considering our preparation.
Daniel Ellensohn put New Zealand in front after 20 minutes with a wide free kick that curled into the box and inside the far post without a decisive touch from either a defender or attacker.
The Oly-Whites doubled their lead with another set-piece 14 minutes later, as a Cole Peverley corner took a number of deflections before eventually crossing the line.
The Mariners grabbed a goal back 15 minutes from fulltime, breaking down the left hand flank through former Wellington Phoenix winger Ahmed Elrich who pulled the ball back across goal for Australian international striker Sasho Petrovski to finish from close range.
Jacobs was pleased with the way his side backed up after Saturdays loss to the Olyroos.
We had a tough, tough game against Australia on Saturday and worked really hard in training yesterday so we had some tired bodies out there, Jacobs said.
We made a number of changes to give everyone a run but we went into the game with plenty of desire, and some clear goals.
We wanted to press higher, and we did. We wanted to play a bit, and we did.
The Oly-Whites fly to Jakarta early on Wednesday where matches against clubs sides PSMS Medan (July 20) and Persija (July 26) sandwich a clash against the Indonesian national team on July 24.
Former Fulham midfielder Simon Elliot is the first over-age player to join the squad on July 18, with Celtic striker Chris Killen arriving in Jakarta on July 23. Ryan Nelsen meets the side in Beijing.

It was definatly Macca who scored the goal for us, i was sitting at that end. It could have been an own goal, but I'm pretty sure the final touch was off a NZ player.... it came off one of the mariners who was on the back post, deflected to the feet of a NZ player to put it in the back of the net.
