Mariners v Ufuk all the sheep

[marinermick]

Six hours to kick off and still no thread.

Huge game and a loss will pretty much kill the season in my opinion.

They will be hugely buoyed by being at home in front of a big crowd.

Good on the nux for getting home HOWEVER , if we’re to save our season , we gotta piss in their chilly bin and chuck their jandles over the fence

Expecting major ref bias on this one to bolster football in NZ after their hiatus. Expect some bad calls and cheating. Offsides that weren't, a pen or 2 against us, an early red if there's an opportunity. The usual stuff when they want the opposition to win for the good of the league.

I reckon we need to score 3 at least to bury this. Will be interesting to see if he starts Urena. I'd be tempted to save him until 2nd half.

Speaking of bias, Moresche to score at least one today!

 

[Corsair]

Anyone know if kuol traveled? I'd like to see a lot more minutes for him today.

I would imagine Roux would be the replacement for Milleras for up front Urena /Cumdog most probable. The key for mine is stopping Sotirio. I’d like to see Hatch up front with Moreshe feeding him in the last 30 mins if needed…

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[shipwreck]

I want us to win and I genuinely think we can.

Problem is I just don't give a f**k about the league anymore.

So nothing different to any other game then. This is a huge task for the team, I’m not confident.

Hopefully the emotion of a homecoming will throw the Nix a little off balance themselves, allowing us to take advantage. I will be interested to see if Niz and Ballard (I am assuming he will start) can dominate Pennington and Sutton/Old (or whomever they start with) in the middle, as the outcome of that battle will likely dictate the flow of the game.

We can definitely win this one but nobody should underestimate the difficulty of the task and hopefully Monty and Serge have a solid game plan for this one.

Of course we’re the team that cops the Wellington home coming. Will be a big ask but hopefully we can get the job done.

Bookies have us both at the same odds to win so could be anyone's game....as long as nothing modifies those odds unfairly... like missing a RB.

Nix cop it nearly as much as we do. So, refereeing might be even for once ;-)

Actually a bit worried about this one - if Nix come out seeking revenge then we could be in trouble.

 

[greenlig]

Yeah not a great feeling, depends who wears shooting boots.

I hope their trundler hits a judder bar on the way to the dairy

I doubt that Nix will make the same mistakes as last game. [They sat back and let us play in their half and Piscopo and Satorio didnt start].

Anyone know who the officials are yet?

Adam Kersey apparently

 

[crock]

Lose today and finals are probably out of reach unless others stuff up which of course is possible considering alot of sides have been inconsistent outside city and perth city consistent at winning glory consistent at losing

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Anyone know what Monty is seeing in Muller's performances to justify him starting again? Contract based on minimum starts? I just don't get it
