Despite what the team lists say Adelaide will also be missing Ian IYFE and Robert CORNTHWAITE due to suspension

Central Coast have a poor record when level at half time this season - no wins, three draws and one loss. They and Perth are the only teams not to have won when level at half time, but the Mariners are impressive when leading.

A win against Adelaide would put us 1 point behind them with 2 games in hand. A top 2 finish is looking good.

The boxing day matches last year drew big crowds and i think that this will continue this year with Mariners breaking the 10k mark for the first time this year.

My prediction a 3-1 (Kwasnik, Perez, OG Boogard- Van Dijk) win to the Mariners

Apparently Fyfe is not suspended as the FFA allocated one of his yellow cards earlier in the season to Adam Hughes.

Referee error when they do the paperwork at the end of the game and cannot be retracted.

 

[someguy]

adelaide only have 15 available players from their entire senior squad right now.

 

[someguy]

ah i guess 16 if fyfe really can play.

[midfielder]

Mariners are singing, are you listening
The lights on Brisbane Waters, are glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a MARINER Wonderland.

Gone away is the long ball
Here to stay is good football
We play on the ground
As we go along
Walking in a MARINER wonderland


Fire UPPPPPPPPppppp

Mistakes happen... they are basically saying the ref made a mistake and we can't fix it. It's just a bit of paperwork that needs to be sorted! It's not as if they need to go back and change the result of the match. Just change the name in the book to the player who actually got the card. Bloody useless!

Amazing how they can't change a name that went into the refs book but they can suspend Perez and reverse reddy's send off!!

 

[Jerem]

[Matt--Simon]
