New coach - now we know

[Big Dog]

I hope we keep him for a while. He has a great mix of humility and ambition. At the medal dinner he spoke about how he knows he needs others around him and trusts them to do what they're best at to complimnet each other. Also said he wants to change the attitude of coasties regarding being underdogs. He wants us to be supporters who have an expectation of being winners.

Juxtapose that last statement with Ivan Jolic accusing ccm fans of being “greedy” for wanting the occasional win here and there back in the Okon era (shout out to Paolo) 🙃

He’s such a legit football coach, could see it as soon as you see him talking about the game just after he joined. It’s why I laughed when people were doubting him just because MK dons fired him. That’s a whole notha discussion about British football for another time. But his back room staff is just as elite. Danny Schofield sounds like an absolute f**kin footy nerd and that’s what you want in an assistant, he’s obsessed. And Andres’ is priceless with his bilingual skills and analytical skills.

I see them staying for at verrrrry least a couple more seasons. They’ll want to have a crack at the champions league, sign some of their own visa players, try defend the league title etc. then it’s just dependent on the kind of success we have after that and the interest they could get back in the uk or elsewhere.

I must admit I find the 'no one rates us chant' seems to ingrain that mentality. It irks me when I hear it but the Bay does such a great job in general that I've never brought it up.

Interesting because i heard someone say can we sing that anymore because of what we have achieved.

I love it and think its amazing and is us because no matter how good we are we will never get the full credit we deserve because they don’t understand what it takes.

You also don’t have to actually be the underdog to have that mindset set.

Look at QLD in state of origin rugby league. They won it like a dozen times and still called themselves underdogs every year and NSW arrogance believed it because we had more players to choose from even though they weren’t as good

It is also our one unique chant not sung by any other club. It was penned by a club supporter (Jimmy - Phil James) and represents a time where despite our success we were never acknowledged or given air time. It is a massive finger up to the FFA and the media and I love it.

I think it sums up the AL, media and other clubs view of us.
They don't rate us, we don't care
It's not a small minded mentality we know we are football royalty in this country. Our record confirms it

I'm sure that we all know that we are football royalty - but does the rest of Coast know that?

Jacko….now that’s a gaffer

This one says it all really - everyone else can think of us as underdogs, doesn't mean we have to

100%. Brilliant song by Jimmy and just about the only original chant going around. We have always been the underdog, especially with the blatant ref bias against us.
This song is GOLDEN.
This song represents the Mariners.

Cold hearted f**king killers.

But has @Josho Howe been talking shit about him on FB lately?

I came up with that slogan back around 2008 because the experts seemed to think we were all grind and determination and no skill, while other fanbases dismissed our support as school carnival-tier (especially one group whose home support we manage to out-sing pretty much every time we visit these days)

Obviously times have changed...

That QLD underdog myth has been laughable since they had a whole stack of potentially future immortals in their spine positions. But that's for another thread...

I had dinner in the Italian at Berkeley Vale tonight. The Indian owner (lol....must have known an Italian or just gone f**k it i'm sick of curry) had a pair of Mariners track pants on.
My Mrs said......Don't say anything about his pants OK!!!
He delivered the food to our table......of course i mentioned the pants. His response..."I like the Mariners"...5 mins later with his ears burnt off and now understanding everything that happened this season,last night and about to happen we have a new Mariners forged bond.
