With the AFC regulations of 3 foriegn players plus 1 we need to start filling these places for us to move forward. The Mariners network of clubs might start to pay dividends in the near future but we cannot guarantee anything there.
Hao was a creative midfielder very good on the ball who is deadly from set pieces as we have found out. Current Chinese international and 2 time CSL youth player of the year. This is the type of player we need at our club. Imagine the interest in the Central Coast Mariners in China if we had a player of his quality at or club. It would be amazing.

Totally agree with that STATEMENT! There is not many Mariners fans who can say they saw the team in action in a truely fanatastic game of football. Atmosphere, Smog, Smoke , Goals and most importantly the Mariners played with a certain style that had been lacking but is now back.Bearinator said:
Wilkinson and Huke were great!
Hutchinson controlled the midfield.
Simon caused all sorts of trouble. Caceres showed his class when he came on just wish that he good play at that level week in week out because with that ability he could play at a higher level.

Q: Do you think that a number of the Mariners players relished the opportunity to play an opposition that wasn't hacking at them and playing the physical game as much as Australian teams tend to do, and as such, the players were given more space to display their skills better?
I find it less a coincidence that we are playing better against these Asian teams, and the players who are playing better are the ones who may have had difficulty with a more physical game.

Awwww, you're still a dickhead - nice to know some things never change. ;D
Everything about the day and night was immense. The trip to get there, the flares outside the stadium, the smog inside, the atmosphere, the swapping of scarves and such with the Tianjin Home End (bye bye Asia Scarf, hello Tianjin Supporters Scarf), the match itself, the post game inside and out..... giving shit to and receiving shit from sideline Tianjin fans (all in good fun) - I genuinely feel sorry for everyone who couldn't make it. It was nothing like a game in Australia could ever be. Not to mention the trip to get back to Beijing.
Fish and Bear will be on in the next few days and will have many more a story to tell.
For what it's worth:
We were amazing. Short, snappy, sexy football - combined with SENSIBLE long balls. Sort out some of the set piece defending, get us playing like that a lot more often, and swap Mrdja for someone good and we can give this thing a proper shake up. I told Lawrie how good it was to see us playing like that instead of the rubbish we've been serving up after the game and he just laughed and said thanks (you know, as much as some on here go 'zomg stop picking on him blah blah', everytime I've had the chance to talk to him he appreciates the honesty - he's a grown up, he can take it..... meanwhile, that whole time, the Red Army were doing protection drills and such around the team bus). Ben Coonan, Tobin, Lyall, Boogs, Heff, and the mayor of Wyong (name escapes me) all came over and said thanks outside the stadium.
Man of the Match?? Hutch.
Mick - yes, I cheered. Shock horror I know. Away games >>>>> Home games - thought you knew this??
If there wasn't a moat between us and the netting that ran around the ground we were going to go up it Boca Juniors style. But I can say that running up and down the aisle going nuts screaming "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL" with thousands of away fans hurling abuse at you is a feeling I won't forget anytime soon.Keensy - yawn. Nice to see you're keeping at it whilst I'm gone.
