    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.

Did anyone catch who uploaded it? I'll see if they can upload it to somewhere else who will ignore Premier Media Group's takedown requests...

Firstly a disclaimer: I haven't seen the vid of Slater & Hill taking the piss out of a dutch accent (and presuming it's aimed at Verbeek).

However, if you got to You Tube, the vid is linked and says the vid has been pulled, but below that one is another from Total Football dated Dec07.

Harper, Slater and Postecoglou are discussing the then appointment of Verbeek to the national team coach position. The comments made by Slater do underpin a dislike for Verbeek's appointment.

Maybe Slater is showing, yet again, a spiteful bias and unprofessional approach by mocking someone under the glare of cameras, that he doesn't like, knowing that it may end up somewhere - like You Tube. He's used the power of his position as a commentator to be overtly biased against the Mariners for 4 years now, so maybe this is yet another thing that Slater does to vent his spleen on people or clubs he doesn't like?

or maybe you are looking too much into it and it was just a joke between two workmates about someones accent?

True keensy........true. But mightily dangerous doing gags right in front of a camera. Wonder who leaked the off cut to You Tube?

Story is that a fellow was watching on some direct satellite link - thus his coverage didn't include ad breaks.  This was what happened during an ad break.  Really, all it is is them taking the piss out of Verbeek's accent, although Slater does it with a slight hint of dislike in his voice.

It's common knowledge that Slater is not Verbeek's biggest fan, so this isn't really any sort of shock.

And so, again, Slater is allowed to use the medium he works in to have ago at someone in back handed way? Cannot wait til Verbeek gets the Socceroos qualifying for the WC2010 so we can then all shove that piece of news right up Slater's clacker!

That is funny stuff.

Who cares whom Slater does or doesn't like?
Have you seen his head?
Especially in this case, when Pim has a great record and the players really respect him. Ange Postecoglou agreed with Bobby Slater. That should highlight the merit of the opinion.
