Yeah but nobody in their right mind would come out and say "yeah we won but it was a shit tournament with opposition that would struggle against a mid table NPL team".
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.
I didn't say that, you just did.Yeah but nobody in their right mind would come out and say "yeah we won but it was a shit tournament with opposition that would struggle against a mid table NPL team".
"the best", let's not get ahead of ourselves, most of those teams were shite. The travel was killer. Al Ahed were decent, the other Asian teams were all pretty shit, most of the challenge was dealing with shithouse pitches, awful weather conditions and ridiculous travel arrangements.
I think you do the Kants a disservice by relegating them to the shite category, as they were a very worthy opponent but your point does stand with regard to Methcarthur……Don't get me wrong, it was a monumental effort and I'm super proud of the team. Herculean achievement under the circumstances. I just don't think the opposition were overall "the best". I think the comp as a whole was a huge challenge and it's an incredible achievement. Anyone you can pump 9-0 are not "the best". Like I said Al Ahed were the real deal and winning the final against that level of opposition with that coach under those travel circumstances was a real and lasting achievement.
