GCU Away

[garlo]

Thought I'd start a topic
Any teams news ?
Any more 'significant' announcements for us ?
Hope to see more of Rogic

 

[ExiledMariner]

I'll be there in the away end which will resemble the home end.

 

[MagpieMariner]

They're the only team we haven't beaten so far this season. Hope we can change that.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

They've actually been pretty decent imo and are ridiculously unlucky to be footing the table I think. I'd rather be playing many teams higher up.

This should be an interesting battle. They have thrown everything at us in one game, and then parked the bus in the other. But I think this time we will be too strong for them.

 

[dibo]

They're a much better team than their results suggest. we are good, but the standard of the league is very even -a point is almost never a bad result and I'd take one tonight.

 

[LFCMariners]

Call me lazy but I'm giving this one a miss. Got mates over tonight, and Skilled is a joyless enough footballing experience even when the weather is good! I can think of many things I would rather do on a Friday night than sit in a damp Skilled Park drinking tepid XXXX Gold watching a match with less atmosphere than an U/12's training session.

The GF is the weekend after I get back from the UK, I'll be going if we make it that far.

Do you think Arnie will give Pelle a run on the wing? I know he didn't cut it at #10, but I had the impression he played wide at Perth. Seeing we'll be missing Ollie for a few matches maybe see if he can do a job out there.
How many cards after 5 leads to a 2nd suspension?

 

[shipwreck]

Rogic unavailable???, what does that even mean, he has tickets to a foo fighters concert or something :/

 

[Marquee]

He came in last week so Musti could be rested. I wouldn't read too much into him being dropped. He will get another chance next week as Musti has been called up for the Olyroos as a replacement for Antonis.

 

[shipwreck]

So looking forward to next week we are losing matty, musti and Ollie, while Brisbane lose Nichols... Not bad I guess considering our depth

 

[Muppet]

They won't have to water the pitch at least with all the rain they have had up there. Given the state that the ground is likely to be in I expect some sloppy play. Hopefully we can beat them and keep the gap on Brisbane.

It certainly will be interesting losing Ollie, Matt and Musty. I have confidence in Arnie to make the right selections.

Rogic unavailable???, what does that even mean, he has tickets to a foo fighters concert or something :/

I read that as Rogic is out (just dropped from the squad) and Hutch is unavailable for selection due to suspension...

 

[Golly]

predicting gc do the same formation as when we played previous
6-4-0
still i think GA will be a bit smarter this week and not push to high into there defence
2-0 win
mcbreen and kwas

From the Central Coast Mariners Facebook page:-

Central Coast Mariners Official Page
Central Coast Mariners wish to advise that due to the threat of flooding in and around Skilled Park, Robina, tonight’s clash against Gold Coast United has been postponed by Football Federation Australia.

We will advise the new match date and time as soon as possible.

We apologise to any individual or organisation inconvenienced by this postponement.

 

[pjennings]

Rescheduled to 22nd February This doesn't make things any easier!!!

So now we have 14 games in 63 days from 4th Feb thru April 6th. Then if we lose the major semi-final we will actually have 17 games in 77 days from 4th Feb thru April 20th.

As an added bonus we lose our Olyroos for an extra game.

 

[Golly]

GC pitch immaculate
Patron safety around the ground re flooding
Wtf am I going to do tonight?
Watch last weeks game?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Already re-watched last weeks game

Fan safety... alright just text them both and say please go home or to a pub and watch it - and then play and televise the game!
Oh, and can we please change our name to the CC dry dockers or something? Be nice to get through a season without a bloody wash out cancellation wouldn't it.

 

[pjennings]

Why not play it as a double-header with the Roar game on Saturday.

 

[A.J.V]

With hutch now suspended for the roar game and olly on international duty who is going to play left midfield next week??????
