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.
Also saying that he wants to leave and play in europe even if Portugal falls apart.
Yup.. I listened to it earlier also and from memory he says “he will keep looking for other opportunities.”
2 degrees, multiple footballing accolades and a European passport, my sights would be set on broader horizons too.
Ballard is the best example of a young footballer. Excellent on the park, articulate and respectful off the park and hasn’t wasted his “spare time” playing FIFA on XBox. I regularly tell my boys who are football mad that he is the epitome of hard work and discipline and living proof that there is never any need to be arrogant irrespective of your success.
I think him and Niz being good mates are probably thinking the same.
They still have to lose the playoff to drop down.
Aiden O'Neill is currently injured at Standard Leige. They are looking to offload players apparently because they are caught up with the 777 fiasco. If we lose both Niz and Max (and possibly Di Pizio) may be worth a sneaky offer.
Don’t think he would come back even though we are a lot better now. Think City money would be too attractive or more likely to stay at SL as probably a cheaper player.
Got something ridiculous like a 98 ATAR. A full time double degree whilst also playing full time pro football - kid is a madman. One of the most genuinely humble people I’ve met.
Could be a better transition into euro footy for him, he’d be a top tier player in the Portuguese 2nd league. But perhaps that’s one of the mentioned stipulations? He doesn’t go if they drop down.
If only Arnie didn't ignore our young players.
Given he's French probably not
FFC was referring to Maxi, not Irankunda.
Not sure Arnie rates his attitude just quietly. Irankunda seems a bit of a dickhead
Compare Garang's media interactions to Nestory's. They are completely different and I can only put it down to the influence of strong mentorship at the Mariners and the complete submission to the whims of a 17 year old kid at Adelaide. Nestory has a MASSIVE ego and expects things to go his way and if he doesn't get what he wants, he'll throw a tantrum in the press conference. He even had the gall to bitch about how much time he got on the field tonight. Dude will not make it in the professional scene if he doesn't pull his head in.
