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.

To put it in perspective we are early in pre-season. Do you think Juve, Spurs as well as Torres and his mates are as devastated after a pre-season loss to a minnow of world football as we are. I really wanted us to make a statement in the FFA Cup but we didn't.

It was not good enough - we need to be better - we must be better - but now is not the time to slit our wrists. There will be time for that in a few months;)

Anyway - enough of that - I'm now in preparation for the Matildas match at 4am tomorrow!!
It was a cup game not preseason game, they just happen to be much of the same to TW

Also how can professional footballers be so unfit?

Surely they should be keeping up there fitness to a very decent level even in the preseason. There would be a base level of fitness expected that you would think Is higher than an NPL part timer.

The problem was our skills which should be better no matter what, was clearly not there.

Bad game plan, bad skill execution. Bad night

We were unfit? oh dear. I remember under the Gaffa, he trained us to be the fittest team on the park.
We might not have the money to buy the skill, talent, insight and experience that some of the other teams can buy - but you don't need money to buy fitness, so that was the one area we could always kill them on the park.

Their season went three weeks longer than us (though to be fair, we were done in January...).

They're probably three weeks to a month behind us in pre-season.
