New Years Eve - Mariners V Wellington - Round 21

What about the boos ..... ? A gut reaction from disappointed fans ... totally understandable imo.

Didn't see the game, but the highlights looked bad enough. 

The downward spiral continues.

porter had a cracker apart from a few stray crosses, redders was great too. Simon was a fringe socceroo but is on his way to being a fringe a-league player. Disco must be giving him lessons

+1... No way is Matty going to be picked for internationals on his form. Porter has listened and learned, wish some of the others had done so.

The comments from casual fans leaving the ground were far, far worse.

I dont see any point in marking the players on tonight or slagging them off.

Positives:

Redders was immense - we need have no worries if Danny goes

Porter - berst game for CCM IMHO

Nik - Worked his arse off, cant ask for more - got no service.

Tifo - Fantastic well done to all concerned. Great effort

Final positive? Maybe the recycling of players who have failed before will now stop and we will see some major changes with next season in mind

You are fortunate.... it was painful.

Apparently a gang of cockatoos wreaked havoc on the pitch this week? WTF?

funny that.. because we played like a gang of cockatoos tonight, and certainly sounded like them too.

FFC, seriously no disrespect intended ... but I didn't see Nik working off any arse. His game was mediocre at best ... but that's my opinion. It's all too little to late in regards to Disco Nik. Legend in his own lunchtime

Agree 100%.

Redders... soooo pleased for him.
Porter... great game. Loved the bit in the first half when Caceres was doing his fancy step overs and Prter just hounded him and ended up wining the throw in.
Tifo.... Loved it!!!! Great imagination. Let me know how I can contribute financially to the cost of putting them on. I bit disappointed with the lack of acknowledgment from the team, but I guess it was an insight into their mindset prior to the game.

Thanks for saving me the time of posting FFC.
Quality post. As per atomic also agree 100%.

Nik is stepping up now, but we do not have the strike combination, and our attacking mids are going missing. Toothless. Can't win if you cant score.

TIFO Brilliant!

Also, Nikas did well for his first start imo and deserves some more game time.

i was on the western side for once, usually in the bay and had a better than normal view of the game from the upper tier ... agree with FFc: mrdja was actually better than matty simon and wasnt sad to see simon make way rather than mrdja - more worringly was the poor form of both nick travis and michael mcglinchey.... travis seemed to make poor decisions and poor touches on the ball and wee mac was anonomous for most of the game and when he had his moment to shine he missed an easy chance on goal...

all in all an absolutely woeful performance from the mariners, i said before the game if we didnt pick up the 3 points the season is over and i stand by that, we should look towards next season and forget about this campaign, its dead

Just fast forwarding through the replay... I must be insane.
Matty truly just had his worst ever game in yellow. That miss...
Oh god - watching Reddy literally "whoooop" with delight at Simon after he completely stuffs it was just _AWFUL_

Cheer up folks - yoof at Pluim 10am Sunday

(How off the wagon can u get?)

;D ;D ;D

How about hutch getting all fired up at the fans that abused him. He wanted to punch on!

 

[FFC Mariner]

Pretty soon..If things keep going the way they are.. you wont see mariners fans at away games.  There are a handful that go to the long distance games, only to have a high chance of being disappointed... i say why bother?
and in the end whats the point in a team playing away in a stadium that has no fans supporting them?
There were 7 supporters at the youth game against sydney last week and approx. 40 more supporters came for the A-League clash.
Numbers are dwindling rapidly...
If we were playing Sydney FC in Sydney next week, i doubt there would be even a handful of supporters there.
Things are bad, and its only going to get worse if things arent changed.

In all honesty, thats bollocks (sorry) about the away support.

Tend to agree with the last line though

Didn't hear the boos.........was well out of there by that time !

Btw FFC and others praising Porter.........all I can say is you were watching a different game to me  ???

Happy f**kin new year.

 

[FFC Mariner]

It wasn't me I promise!!!

What happened there ?

Was that in front of the bay or elsewhere ?

The way Hutch played he'd be better off accepting the abuse and slinking away quietly.

We might forget his performance quicker that way.

 

[marinerheart]

Just recieved the news on hutch wanting to punch on. Can't say it surprises me..
Any witness reports? further info?
