    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. 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.

The Socceroos thread.

Does that mean legends of the club are above criticism? No denying he owns his place in our history but there's also no denying he's not the keeper he was just 2 seasons ago. No where near and also no where near what anyone thought we were getting. He got his consideration when no one barked up at signing a keeper that played only 4 cup games last season.

THIS!!! ???

Would be nice if Danny was afforded the same consideration and forgiveness on this forum.

Forgiveness for ONE match .. fair call. Forgiveness for the completely sub par performance since he resigned.. how long do you want it to stretch out for? If we were in Scotland we would have been gunning for his blood after the first loss or even the points dropped against Wellington. But he’s been backed, supported, embraced, celebrated, given a go until it became impossible to ignore he isn’t doing what we signed him for.

Not unreasonable at all in my book.. it’s a professional sport, not a charity.

SBS has always done a fantastic job when it does the WC coverage.British visitors who have watched the first week or two in the UK and then come Down Under have been blown away by the SBS coverage-by that stage the Soccerros are gone but SBS have still covered many games.

Hutch copped it when he was shit, Simon copped it when he wildly celebrated with the Cove. Agree, no one is immune. If you are (allegedly) our highest paid player you need to deliver.
A good keeper (Birra) will earn you 10 points. Danny has already cost us 3
Fair call

We have to disagree about this. He does a hell of a lot more than stand statically in the box and pops in tap ins.

Either way we are f**ked because no one in the squad is good enough to compete successfully at a WC, but to replace someone who is your most prolific scorer in the team with someone who has nice tattoos and people love his personality, is just nuts.
Wife this morning, when is the World Cup starting. Then who is our striker?
Told her it’s Maclaren and what he’s being called and why.

Her very simple response - That sounds like that will come in handy.

Sometimes we complicate the simplicity of sport.

At the end of the day he has more goals than anyone else. End of

I'm excited, have a fools hope we can actually beat France. I back us to win 2-1. Think GA will start the below team:

--------------Ryan-------------
Karacic-Rowles-Soutter-Behich
-------------Devlin-------------
------Irvine---------Mooy------
Boyle-------Duke------Goodwin

Can under-complicate it as well though. We’re playing France and Denmark, not fkn Newcastle Jets and fkn Perth Glory etc

That said, I wouldn’t care anywhere near as much if Cumdog had signed with Sydney instead of us lmao

I think he may rest Boyle (injury) and play Mabil. I also think he may include Wright or Degenek for one of our recovering CBs

Is there some sort of media exclusivity for the WC?

Would have been awesome if CCM sent someone over to follow our boys around and report from a Mariners perspective
