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!

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.
What we could have written off as resting players is definitely getting more concerning now, but at the same time surely Staj can see what the rest of us see. We’ve also given Shabow a bit of time lately and I would have thought he’d be lower on the pecking order than weemac who showed some form previously.
If he is we're in trouble.Even if we didnt recruit another player it should be obvious from his efforts so far and last year that he shouldn't be our go to striker. I'm very keen to see us test our strongest XI and get some cohesion going but that's just a result of how many times we've been burned before. I trust the process even if it scares me watching it.
Be happy enough with that if it works!
WELL, maybe Simon should of got his head straight and his FKN finger out
This isn't specific to Matty, CCM or even the A league but I'm not a fan of recognising penalties in a goal scorers tally, no doubt they need to be able to put them away but at a glance I think it undermines the contribution of goals from open play or set pieces. Give me the forward that's scored 9 but not taken a penalty over the guy that's scored 12 with 6 from the spot. At least with tap ins there's an assist to the other players name but with a penalty the only involvement you might have is stepping up for the shot.
Why not the defender? Seriously though I'd be happy enough if it was made clearer and easier to look up. I went to look up Matty's ones in a previous striker discussion and it was a manual process and there's no way I'd want to do that for a bunch of strikers across the league or for any potential signing. If for example someone has 12 goals 3 of which were penalties listing as 12 (3) would make it instantly clearer if you're looking at a golden boot leaderboard or trying to compare players.
