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!

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.
More concerning for me is a player to go into the middle to challenge Maxi and Nissy, particularly when we are being pressed and fouled off the ball. I get that Monty doesn't want a DM but sometimes that physical pressence is needed in the middle (Stensness, Jedi type of player). I wonder how Hall or Kaltak would go in that position.
Not if we are favourites, we always seem to play to our opponents standings. Cows were third last coming into this game and should still be there.
We were down a player. We were not going to replace 2 midfield players with defenders. Our defence or midfield was not the problem today it was our keeping.
Other than the corner we conceded I agree the defending wasn’t that bad. The loss is squarely on Vuka.
Tulio is quality and Ayongo is all action. He'll get his share. They came to frustrate and didn't even start Arzani. For us to dominate the game after going down by 2 means the guys at the front were working overtime to break them down. Garang has already been replaced by having Moresche and Tulio. We won't get another Garang because there isn't one. Tulio, Moresche, Cummings, Ayongo, Ruhs, Nkololo, Silvera...... that's a decent front third.
Disagree with your criticism of Triantis passing to Danny. That is all on Danny. Took it on his right foot ffs, that has to come across his body and first touch with the left and it is not a problem. He then has his body between the player and the ball. That is a pass made dozens of times every game across the a league and lower leagues. One of the first things you are coached.
I meant for the season, not specifically tonight.
I haven’t seen enough yet to justify the visa spot. It’s so important to get those right. I want them to work out.
I love triantis but it was a shit ball to play in the first place followed by shit execution. When Danny wasn’t asking for the pass as the press was heavy and hard at that moment. Just pump it long on that occasion. It happens with young players, he’ll learn.
That comes down to communication too. Who took charge and said enough? We were playing with fire well before it went wrong.
My mistake, I thought it was Aquilina. I will have to watch the replay. A tough ask.
Still I think the pass was ill conceived.Danny was standing just in front of the goal line and Toure was only standing several metres away-at the top of the 6 yard box so when Danny couldn't control the ball he was Johnny on the spot.
