    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.

Some fairly explosive allegations about conduct at Wanderers was posted on Twitter today- I wont post it here as if I was one of those named or alluded to I would sue the living shit out of the author. @adz - wouldnt be too smart to repost it here.

@Bay49Wanderers - be interesting to see how long it stays up
Yeah interesting to even post without crediting anyone. Some of it seems fact but elements seem emotional.

You can’t argue you were showing some else posted because there is no proof of that.

Taking on the big dogs. The guy who got the bans overturned or suspended goes from hero to zero in a week.

With Bonza going into administration wonder how this impacts the Vuck given 777 is a major shareholder of the Vuck and lost $7m on the club last year. Might be why they don’t want to pay Popa so much next season. Ever since that Construction bloke passed away the Vuck’s financial position has been questionable.

Dont forget the loan that Danny gave them to fund Nani among other things.

f**k the vuck. Arguably the biggest club in the land and they're just as cooked as the jest.

So they're going to trial "live VAR" at the finals, with the ref also announcing the decision.

Not sure if that means the actual conversation will be broadcast, or if it's just a commitment to actually show the VAR footage on the broadcast.

It's a positive step, but we all know the problems with VAR go deeper.

I also think finals are the wrong time to make changes. Referees are under a heavy cognitive load already, adding something new just adds to their load and gives them something else to think about while they're making a decision in what's already one of their biggest, most important games of the season. Not the right time to change things.

It’s what they did at the WWC “Number ten handball, penalty”

That's true. Completely useless.

What they should do is talk through the entire play like in NRL.

I don't just want to know if Number ten handballed it. I want to know if VAR even considered the push in their back a few moments before.
