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 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.

I'm an idiot savant without the pesky savant bit
SO, the smurfs had the trots all week , Arnie has finally given them the shits....i know it isnt, but it sounds like a piss weak excuse for losing the smurf mojo, maybe Arnie should of just shut up

...and people wonder why fans of smaller clubs think Fox commentators cheerlead for SFC.

Arnies genius tactic of spending the cap on the 11 and not worrying for depth is an issue. Having said that, if they had gastro and arnie knew before the game, make a f**ken sub earlier. did they have the same last week against adelaide? To me it looks like an old team with no depth and it is finally catching up to them. was just browsing their fan forum (terrible btw), fans are getting very worried about their team during ACL, would have to agree.

Also, just watched the game, have to agree with Big Al... wales was ordinary. I like the kid, think he is extremely talented, but he had just as many poor passes as Appiah and everyone is tearing him to shreds for his thinking process. Hoole also missed an obvious through ball in the 1st half that would have put powell away, instead he chose to shoot. Classic Hoole.He shouldn't expect service when he gives very little himself. Im glad he didnt get the service from appiah, because he f**ken wasted it in the first half when appiah slipped it to him, all he needed to do was one touch and he couldnt, then he fouled and gave it away. I like appiah, think he was dominant down his side, he wins the ball, he had some good and some bad crosses. overall though I wouldnt want to lose him. without his pace and awareness we dont have that first and only goal.

we are in the minority on this forum...but I agree totally regarding Hoole and Appiah.....I'd rather Appiah any day.

This is quite funny. Your talking about the guy that's 4th on the list for chances created in the Aleague and 3rd on the list for crossed balls into the area??? o_Oo_Oo_O
He does more than any other attacker we have to get the ball in the net and win us games. Yep hes selfish at times but he is creating chances.

sure am, ¯\_ツ_/¯

stats are fun though:

Andrew Hoole is ranked equal 11th for assists (3)
equal 2nd for poor discipline

in terms of doing more than anyone else to put the ball in the back of the net, he has played a total of 1,235 minutes this season for a total of 2 goals. Powell has played a total of 458 minutes for 3 goals

I also said he gives very little, in terms of times he gave service over total opportunity to provide service, it would be very little. he is good at getting in the right position and having the ball, which i guess is what I find most frustrating, its all great that he is up there on those lists, but for me he has missed plenty of chances to give valuable service instead of just a shitty low cross that ends up at nothing.

He is better at causing havoc and winning back the ball. At the end of the day no one in the team can cross. And when they do it’s to no one. Overall if I could vote my own posts a meh I would.
Agreed. He is much better at causing havoc just wish it was the cheering kind of havoc rather than the forehead slapping kind

Sick of Arnie still going on about how Brilliante and O'Neil were suffering through the week with a stomach bug.

The truth was that they were shitting themselves coming up against CCM again.

Fox sports commentators have bought it up about 5 times now as if it's FACT. Flogs.
