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.

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.
One to watch. Might be a year or two in the making, still young, but an unassuming player who reads the game and other players very wellWe just signed Jacob Farrell
Jacob Farrell signs A-League contract
Jacob Farrell has signed his first professional contract.www.ccmariners.com.au
So it looks like Jacob is a full contract, bringing the senior squad to 17 and the scholarships dropping to 3 (20 players in total). The club's site does not mention Tsekenis so only lists 19 players (I hope he is still around).
I won the premiership and grand final against wsw first year with ccm with the current squad haha then Shaun sacked me because new owners ?
Exactly this. You've got a guy on the bench that can basically fulfil to some degree any game situation you find yourself in. Points moot now anyway.
The Russians came.
Tsekenis played against Wellington on Tuesday so you would assume he is still around
Has he excelled at any of them though? With our budget I fee like you need to have a primary position still if you want to be a utility player. And that’s even assuming he’s willing to accept the money and bench spot you’re talking about for a squaddie. Don’t have anything against the bloke I just struggle to see how to get the bang for our buck if we re-signed him.
And that's why I said it is his problem. He hasn't excelled in any position - but his versatility is his vice. He has been used to fill holes and has never been given a choice to make a position his own. Because of this he would only ever be seen as a squaddie. He needs to go somewhere where the manager uses him in a constant position and see if he can cut it. He is nominally a CM - but I don't think I have ever seen him play there except for a portion of an Olyroos game.
I thought he was the quickest player? At least they said he was quickest at training I thought.
I recall hearing that but never saw it on game day.
Yeah that's fair, it never seemed to come to fruition on the pitch.
So his nick name is Dabney.....
You could also argue the allure of Alou wouldn't have been what it was if he didn't also set up his winner against Western with an amazing turn and pinpoint cross. Those 2 wins kept our team momentum going in games where it looked like we were going to lose or at least only take one point. Instead, in part due to Bouman we took all 3.
Also, just thinking more on this, a guy that is by definition a CM, is best remembered as someone who did his best work in attack on the wings. Something that isn't his forte. That speaks volumes.
The good old mariner’s “let’s play him on the wing” strikes again!
Served Duke well. However you have to wonder what his trajectory could have been without spending that time being a square peg in a round hole for us. Suppose it got him a transfer though didn't it
Ditto Bernie
Not so much Appiah…..
