    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

Fmd would love someone to actually just spell out what the hell happened. Can I get a cryptic emoji if this is right - he worked as a barista when he should have been at training, didn’t tell the right people/person was seen as not taking his football career seriously, given a spell on the bench as punishment ie if you’re not 100% committed why would we put you on the park.

I believe your mail is off on that one.

Don't think Jacko is a fan of pros who sometimes play barista
@greenlig would like to know if you think Sasha got benched for working at his family's restaurant.

He was working at his family’s cafe early morning as it was their busiest day of the year and they were understaffed, then went to training. I don’t believe he was late, though I’m not 100% certain of that.

They were smashed. So busy. I honestly just looked at him and thought, “how many professional footballers are working in their parents cafe on Boxing Day morning? Love it!”

I don't pretend to know anything. But that would have been my reaction too.

I also thought he came off with a niggle in the previous game. We had the poor game against Auckland an have also changed formations. Since the Auckland game we have got 4 points from 2 games. Are we putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5?

It has to be more than just putting in a shift before training. Maybe if he was late or didn’t turn up for any extra/prep stuff required of him but are we really going to say Jackson cares so much that he was working instead of playing video games, walking the dog or whatever? I’m not sure I buy that.

Seems a bit odd doesn't it and there must be more to the story.

I'm getting very "off-season" vibes about these chats, is it because the weird game timing like playing games really close together then nothing at home for a month?

Also wondering if he makes a good flat white.

Brilliant coffee shop but so busy you often have to wait ages.

As Adz said, very off season vibes. Is that due to the uncertainty surrounding the club so no news, nothing appears to be happening and we don't know if we are going to wake up on Christmas morning with a great present or a lump of shit?

Always assume it's a lump of shit. That way we can be enjoy it more, if it turns out otherwise.
