Mariners v Queensland Minor Semi Finals

[dibo]

Teams have turned around impossible deficits in the past:
- Deportivo La Corua v AC Milan in 2004
- Brondby v Karlsruhe in 1996
- Bayer Leverkeusen v Espanyol in 1988
- Bayer Uerdingen v Dynamo Dresden in 1986

But is there the will and firepower for the Mariners to do the same?

- Liverpool v AC Milan in 2005 (champions league final)

i can't believe people are forgetting last year!





















...all the same, i can't bring myself to seriously believe we're capable of doing it again.

Yes, the cricket is on, but it is only an ODI, which doesn't really matter. If it was a Test, different story.

to us that live and breathe cricket, yes. to the great unwashed, maybe not. for a test i'd expect to see 17k, for a ODI i'd expect 35k+.

More people would go to a public hanging than the opera but that doesnt mean we should stop subsidising Opera.

ODI's are an abomination compared to the purity of Test match cricket. 20/20 is just a farken disgrace to the great game

<Rant over>

it took me until i saw the strategy and art of test cricket and i saw past the colours and lights of ODI cricket to see the true value of the test. so in other words, i was about 12 when that happened!

congrats, you really are quite clever then

Lets hope the mongrel comes out. If so, I reckon we can beat em 2-0.

Just gotta score when we have chances instead of it all coming to nothing like it did last week. Perhaps the 2-0 deficit could be enough to motivate our strikers to fire up as well and that might solve that problem.

Clever? Dude, he follows TEST CRICKET. He is just simply elite.

 

[Auburn Mariner]

Dibo has an elite, at times extraordinary intellect (despite following the Scouse Gits), but he is NOT an elitist.

I was about, oh, 7 when I realised that Test cricket was brilliant. Jeffrey Robert Thomson & Dennis Keith Lillee bowling on a doctored, uneven, vicious greentop at the Gabba, the Poms had NO chance (Thommo was simply unplayable).

T20 is like a pash & dash, an ODI is like a one-night stand (have a lot of fun and forget all about it) and Tests are like being in a Polygamy with:

*Beyonce (chef & musician, permanently dressed in a French Maid's outfit),
*Halle (the trophy bride, who dresses up as a leather-bound dominatrix three times a week) and
*the mind-blowing quinella of Megan & Angelina, who turn out to be rampant, nyphomaniac, switch-hitting sexpots with a wicked foot-fetish, get off on teasing Halle with handcuffs, whips & chains AND who smother a naked Beyonce with high-grade honey and use apples, strawberries & pineapple to work the honey off the frothing Ms Knowles.

We weren't complaining last year when we signed Aloi$i under the same rule that also allowed us to pay him big $ outside of the salary cap.

Does the rain improve our chances ???

but at least we'd played him in a number of A-league rounds BEFORE the finals.......and there was no Youth League last year....isn't that one of the purposes of the NYL this year ?

Yes but we didn't sign a player that has played no part in the season proper for a semi final.
