    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!

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.

Australia v Qatar

I want Scotch McDonald to get a hat trick next match, although he doesn't need to to have a good game. He gets so much unreasonable bad press and fan reaction.

Scotch hasn't scored. But he is playing good football, except one touch against Qatar. He is the reigning top goalscorer of the SPL, which is a strong league in Europe, perenially doing well-ish in the CL. A-league is so shit. If I wasn't an Australian I wouldn't watch most matches this season. It is ridiculous to compare A-league to SPL.

We can count on Scotch to score when he has the chance. The ball hasn't fallen for him. We are not a team that relies on individuals creating and finishing their own goals. We are a team that uses a team system and he plays well in it.


Josh Kennedy showed that he isn't just a tall guy to aim long balls at. Flash and effective touches and passes. Great crosses from Luke "Sarge" Wilkshire, one of them being headed in by JK showing that he is just a tall guy to aim long balls at.

Jas Culina was excellent. I don't think he will move to GC and it would be a shame if he did. His football would suffer playing with shitty players. I hope he's just gunning for a better contract at PSV.

I always thought Carney should get a haircut. Now I wish he hadn't.

McDonald was rubbish. His touch Wednesday night was atrocious and he was so slow. At one time wilkshire put a perfect through ball, he was two metres ahead of his defender and still mowed down.

Celtic create so many chances in the SPL that any fat, slow mug can pot goals away.

If Kennedy gets injured and Dukes doesn't step up we are in big do do.

I would have loved to have seen one M. Simon take the field for McDonald last night instead of Holman. Those conditions were perfect for him. A tired, demoralised Qatar defence would have had nightmares about Matty running around them and he would have had a greater chance of hitting the target than Holman.

How did you get $17 i only got $15 35 minutes before kickoff?

My ticket says I bet at 6:17pm, so it must have firmed up. Unbelievable considering the rain. I bet your heart skipped a beat when at 4-0 Qatar had the chance right in front of goal toward the end, can't believe he put it over! Hope you had a lot of dollars on the bet :)

How much did you win?
