Central Coast Mariners V Sydney FC

[Wombat]

I’m not, but finally we are seeing a way back to normality across society in general. Not suggesting things will be fixed overnight but the process can start for next season and that’s a step forward.

There’s positives ahead with borders reopening (easier to recruit OS), teams returning home, Sydney with their new ground to name a few. Those aren’t wishful or subjective. There’s other less certain stuff like Paramount fixing their sports offering which supposedly will be in place, advertising, clubs being able to get back into the community and promote at grass roots, this horrible weather system going away.

I don’t see any point about being negative about what may or may not happen in the future. There’s plenty of time for that when we get there.

Not be negative???? You are upsetting 50% of our posters............do you expect them to write positive comments about us and Football in Australia? Good luck.

I am worried about how these two seasons have affected the Club's bottom line. I would hate to see a fire sale of players just to survive. Too much good work has been done.

99% empty. And Ancient used to be a positive poster but his mind has been poisoned by Mikey and the cheer squad on here.

The Mariners winning the Grand Final may actually be the underdog story that the a-league needs.

With the sheer amount of youth players playing minutes each week is great material for the league to work with and also supports the FA defence that young Australians are getting a chance and shining.

Leicester Cities EPL title win those years ago now was epic and needs to happen every now and then excite and envigorate the game.

Everyone loves a feel good ‘mighty ducks’ type story and might be what we need to gain just an ounce of interest from the broader casual viewer, regional viewers and normal viewers to take interest in other games.

The Mariners have such a smorgasbord of great characters and even super quiet achievers and great stories like baby Kuol so this year or next year the APL should be grateful if the Mariners get silverware to some degree.

Alright you've convinced me. Let's do it

If Kye shaved his head, he'd look like a young Peter Garrett.

Reports from Stadium is that it has drained and should recover for tomorrow.

Excellent news.

I was getting concerned because the water table must be so high at the moment and we know there is an underground stream beneath the pitch.

Its ok Mick - Bay Rd will be nice and dry

I want 2 things from this game:

- No cheating/bias from the officials
- Score so many goals that even if they do want to cheat us they can't.

f**k it, I'm predicting a statement performance which will force the league to take notice.

3 - 0 to the good guys, and then a commanding march into the finals.

Controversial but I wonder if Monty is the coach tofinally get TBT to realise his potential? He is a bit limited and I suspect SFC think they can do better.
He's very quick and there is still potential there. Might not be too expensive either

Our biggest weaknesses are 7 and 11 at the moment so I would happily have him back. Monty wants players that are quick, mobile, impactful in games and will run though brick walls for him. First three he has, not sure on the fourth.

He's absolutely got Garrett's eyes.

He never lacked bottle coming through our ranks

Same was said of me as a young footballer, but erm... slightly different meaning.

Wombat, I hope the scotch you have been drinking is good.

Don’t do it, you might think we can fix him but we probably won’t. I’d rather see us in for Wales than him. But at any rate Buhagiar would want established player money and I don’t think it’s a great use of our limited resources.

He's improved but not that much, also seems to be a bit injury prone and is inconsistent. I used to find it very frustrating watching him play for us and perennially under acheive/miss chances. Rather see academy prospects like kuol promoted, i think tbt had his chance. Not sure what his next move would be after Sydney...WSW?
