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!

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.

I think the delay is because the Football F*ckwits of Australia have painted themselves into a corner.....and don't know how to get out. As has already been said, all of the other codes have dealt with weekend misdemeanours quickly....and some might argue leniently (7 weeks for Barry Hall - AFL _ and 6 weeks for Michael Weyen - NRL) both of them committed far worse misdemeanours than Danny yet the codes and the public seem happy with the sentence. if FFA continue to impose such a huge ban on Danny it makes them even more of a laughing stock....but if they back down then they are admitting they got it wrong in teh first place.....perhaps they want to put some distance between the AFL/NRL sentences before handing out their own. One things for sure....they have no concept of the punishment fitting the crime.

The problem I see in the future with the severity of the ban is that incidents much worse than this will occur. This means future bannings will have to be for years up to life.... Why such a severe ban compared to any other code or any other sport has been imposed has me baffled.
Back out now and save face guys, reduce the ban and move on.

Unless the FFA are actually looking for media coverage, I would have thought that it would have been good to announce Danny's sentence before now whilst the media is focused on Barry Hall's king hit. They probably could have gotten away with changing the sentence dramatically without it being the major headline.
As it stands, it likes like they will announce it when there is no other news so it will get a lot of coverage. That is, unless the AFL and NRL players have another shocker this weekend. I suppose theres a good chance of that LOL.

Negus was like a breath of fresh air compared to that twat Slater. TF would become a much better show if they could get him full time.
Knows the game, hates the other codes (his descrition of that silly game they play in Victoria was a hoot).
As to Danny, the FFA failed the basic lesson of life. When you f**k up, admit it fast. The longer you stick to your guns you just look stupid and imature.

I just read that...
It's not looking good.... But did the ref require surgery like the other swimmer? Or was Danny drunk and stuff? I dunno. 2 completley differant circumstances, but yeah...I suppose they'll just follow suit and be total f**kheads like the FFA usually is....

he broke the rules and they're applying them, it's cut and dried. if c**tface were in the same boat we'd give short thrift to jets supporters playing that card.
oh, wait...
nevertheless, f**kwittery in officialdom shouldn't be tolerated any more than f**kwittery on the field, and i'm afraid that the FFA's only sensible course of action is to apply a suspension of some sort.
if they don't, the question will be inevitable - when are they going to enforce the rules to protect officials? danny's and c**tface's actions were both unacceptable and deserve punishment. what shape the final suspension takes is anybody's guess, and it's been discussed a gazillion times so i'm not going to bore people.
that it's likely to cost danny the olympics is tragic, but still not enough reason to simply ignore the FFA's rulebook. if we do, we might as well declare open season on officials. politically, the FFA would be wise to announce some sort of more public review and assessment process that rewards and promotes good officials (and by extension gives a swift kickt to the swingers of breeze and his ilk).

what warped universe do you live in?
a-league referees get a good four-figure sum for doing the centre

Volunteers or paid employees... DON'T TOUCH THE REF!
Does anyone here dispute the fact that Danny needs to be punished? I doubt it. The issue is the appropriatness of the punishment given what's happened in similar instances in the past. All we want is consistancy. Unfortunately, c**tface's actions and lack of punishment (and subsequent end of year reward) makes any decision on Danny VERY hard to swallow.

then why ever...?
the injustice here won't be that danny gets punted, it's that not only did c**tface get away with his offence with only a yellow card, not only did he then go on to pretty well singlehandedly drag his team to the toilet seat and win the golden boot and JWM in the process, but the absolute f**king moron that failed to punt him for *the* sending off offence of all sending off offences continued to receive his weekly match and paypacket for the rest of the season, including a junket to the canary islands.
*that* is the injustice, that is the brick to swallow.
