CCM v the dirty stinking scum - catch up game

[Ironbark]

What an atmosphere - the place was pumping!

Quality, quality game from us. A pleasure to watch.

Pappas has to be edging closer to the door.
5 losses in 6. They are a shambles

 

[Meerkat]

Watch his presser, complains about everything at the club and then says it’s a pleasure to be manager. Looks like a nervous man.

Just listened to it… had to take a shower after, such I was awash with the salt!

Such a poor, poor response from a coach with nothing but blame and excuses for everybody but himself and his team.

Blaming the pitch FFS ? Or should I say pitches lol

back to the ISL with him, the whinging arsehat

1-0 just after halftime and they skinned us with Trent again. This time 4 Mariners get behind Vuka for a goal line block and Kaltak gets the block.

Much better urgency

Safest job in the league.

All his employers need him loosing to prop up there own faults at there clubs.

A good coach and had them playing well last year but just doesn’t have any decent players.

when i saw that . i thought the game should of stopped for a head injury assessment.
my opinion hasn't changed . kaltac is a hard bastard . but the club needs a duty of care

-1 mariners

What a great night! After a long absence from Bay 16 it was fantastic to be back on such an occasion. Great to catch up with Eggy & gang. Thanks for the Celery Song! Brings back great memories. Bay 16 had lots of new faces and passionate singers. The dude behind me, a Vanuatuan I suspect, was awesome, fully involved and loving it. The TV shot of the Bay going off when Benni scored was priceless. Torn between Niz and Kaltak for MOM. But everyone's played their part. More of this please!

From where I sat our pitch looked to be in great condition. Did anyone notice anything amiss or is Papas talking bs?

Pod mentioned it isn't great as could be the change over of the grass with the warmer weather. He was more alluding to how poor the Scum pitch or paddock as he called it and it's the reason for O'Neil's injury. But then he said ours wasn't up to standard, didn't seem to worry our players.

There is a burnt area near the away bay. Caused by one of their flares last derby

Big time BS

Having this game postponed was a blessing in disguise. Excellent crowd for a Wednesday night and the bay was as full as it's been in ages. Momentum from the Socceroos maybe with all the kids coming in to enjoy themselves. Night couldn't have gone much better except that we really should've pumped em by 4-5.

Pitch has recently been re-laid and is still growing in. It’s not quite tip-top, but it’s not total shit either. Papas scrambling for excuses.

Agree, on the way to the game I was thinking 4k might be a good turn out. Was stoked with how many came along and enjoyed themselves. I could have easily stayed home but made it up there in time after work and had to settle for the stadium food which hasn't improved at all since the last time I had to eat it but I wanted to go to the game to show support to the club and players after the Melbourne fiasco. Maybe I wasn't the only one feeling that way.

The double headers with the Academy are a great idea, only thing I'm not looking forward to is the poor food and drink available to sustain yourself through a double header. Hope it improves by then but doubt it will.

Gee weeknight games are not great with the boom gates at the station carpark. Took half an hour to move 300 meters. A top bloke who was clearly sick of it held open the boom gate so people could just drive out and then I noticed this was happening at every boom gate. Total disaster for a weeknight game, its not as bad on a weekend but still slower since the boom gates are still operational.

Our usually quiet bay was full of clapping and cheering, bloody great win!

Were you in the eastern grandstand as well?

 

[Corsair]

I enjoy an evening midweek game, wouldn't mind a few more.

Nah, Western. I used to always sit in the Eastern stand but I have to admit I'm enjoying being in the shade this season.

Okay, let's talk Tulio for a minute.

Re the Urena question. Big Marco fan. Was the difference in us winning a lot of games imo at a very important juncture. But what we just saw from Tulio... that was something pretty special. Combine it with his Sydney performance and I think it's already evident that he's the most skilled creative player we've ever had. Forget his unforgettable goal, some of his trickery, touch and all round creative play last night was simply on another level.

Best creative players we've had imho.

Tommy P
Tommy R
Perez
Danny DS
Flores
Ferrerra

There's a few more you could add... but all only getting lesser imo so no real point discussing them unless Nicky Travis's mum is still on here.

Now I know some people (cough, FFC, cough) have Tommy P thrice tattooed on their heart.
But I'm not talking about legend status or contribution. If we're just talking sheer ability... does anyone think we've had a higher calibre creative player than Tulio?
