Mariners Premiers!!

[Roy Law]

Never in doubt!!!!
What a fabulous season thus far.
To be a Mariner`s fan is the most fantastic roller coaster ride imaginable.
Our games/seasons are never over until the final whistle.
As a club we have had our problems this season,but our team has done us proud.
I can just imagine Matty Simon & Rostyn Griffith going nuts...they both deserve a medal along with all of our first team.

Also congrats to PT & the admin staff.You all show the fighting qualities that the "REAL" coast is famous for.

MARINER`S `TIL I DIE

Except, apparently, no medals are awarded for winning the Premier's Plate - bizarre.

I actually think it should now be presented at the earliest opportunity - which is in Brisbane next week.
It can then be paraded in Gosford the week after.

. at first i thought 'why not present it in front of the home crowd the week later?'

. but then i realised it says more receiving it in brisbane verhead:

We are the CHAMPIOOOOONS my friends.....thats the way boys, hell of a rollercoaster ride this season....BUT...we got what we were shooting for...and....we won it like we usually win it, with struggle and passion....Hope Matty and Ros get a medal as well as the rest of the boys to show some thanks for their work in helping us get the plate......as for the FFA not having the plate in Wello.....you cant tell me they dont have two of the fkn things for just such an occasion....YOU SUCK BUCKLEY, YOU FKN AFL SPY.....mindsnap over

SO, once again to Arnie and the boys...Congrats, well done, youse are the grouse...although i'm not particularly fussed , if you feel the need to win the GF and stick it to fkn Ben and his mob of nongs ....go right ahead, I rather give Asia a better shot myself...but whatever....

We are the CHAMPIONSSSS...WE ARE THE CHAMPIONSSSSS....my friends

Awesome season so far. Well done to all concerned. Let's kick on and take out the final and the ACL as well!

I bumped into the Mariners at sydney airport this evening (I've been in Fiji the last week so missed the game...thank god for Torrents)....the boys looked great and I took the opportunity to congratulate them...Kwassie, M<cBreen, Wee Max, Wilko, Pedj........well done team...fantastic news. And it will be even better to get the Plate at Bluetongue in 2 weeks time and should be just the thing to spur us on to a home grand-final !!!!!

We shouldn't complain about the Australian media when FIFA can't even get things right.

Australia’s A-League: Mariners finally land silverware

After numerous narrow failures, Central Coast Mariners claimed the first silverware of their seven-year existence. Finishing the league season at the top of the ladder enabled the Mariners to be crowned Premiers and also earn passage to next year’s AFC Champions League. A first goal at the club for Scot John Sutton was followed by Bernie Ibini’s winner as Graham Arnold’s survived a tense finale for a 2-1 win at Wellington Phoenix. Brisbane Roar, who will have the chance to retain their tag as champions during the looming play-offs, fell two points shy despite a 2-1 win against Gold Coast United, having at one stage been 11 points off the pace.

f**k FIFA

It IS a bit wierd that you can win the comp and not be champions. I look forward to a day when play-offs are no longer necessary, because there is a domestic cup comp and the ACL is wildly popular, but I imagine I will be quite old by then.

Luverly!

 

[ExiledMariner]

So thats how the FFA decide to present the throphy?

 

[dibo]

They'll do it at the semi like last time

 

[scottmac]

At first Arnie was reluctant to take it cause he said its not for him but the players and his staff. Then when he took it from Mel he said

"whats this note on the back here, it says please return to FFA. No it says please return to Ange at Suncorp"

That picture is when he is "reading" the note on the back

 

[Roy Law]

I would take anything Mel wants to give me...

A great achievement for a man who many doubted; he has taken the Mariners to another level - I just hope he continues to do so for years to come.
