R8 away @ Nix

[Antlion]

For now I say Pearce keeps his spot

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Please no more long passes. They don’t work, they haven’t worked all season and they’re our go to move.

The long ball is played because the team does not have the passing ability to play out from the back.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Wonderful we are saved, here comes Hoole.

 

[Michael]

Am I dreaming or did Mulvey just take off our only player who isn’t playing shit or going missing?

 

[Fadetoblack944]

why the hell is O'Neil hooked!, MM has done nothing in the midfield.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

We were a once proud club in a once shit league, the league is so much better now it's not even funny, we got left behind years ago.

Yep.

You know those players where every team thinks 'great, how on earth are we going to deal with him? I wish he played for us!'
We don't have a single one of those players. Most teams have at least one, if not several.

MCGLINCHEY IS ACTUALLY HIDING. . WTF

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Normally I hate conspiracy theories, but that first goal - the commentators didn't show a single replay that clearly shows whether or not there was an offside.
AND the goal wasn't discussed in the halftime break. Since when do goals not get discussed in the break?
Just makes it look really, really suspicious...

and how the replay they showed cuts away just before he releases the ball

Not a conspiracy, you're 100% correct. I think it's more to do with the fact that those discussions are designed to be in the defence of the majority fans, for instance a Melbourne Victory or a Sydney FC controversy so the bulk of fans sitting at home watching can be like "Yeh that was f**ked, well said Bozza". They know we don't have any fans, so they don't bother. Sad reality.

Maybe. My conspiracy theory wonders if there's an instruction to make sure we don't stand a chance, so at the end of the season they can start having discussions about handing over our license to one of the parties that was unsuccessful in the expansion bid.

I mean, if that was the case, this is EXACTLY how the commentators would handle it. Goal? What goal?

I know, it's stupid, but when teams aren't treated evenly and fairly by the commentator team - and clear controversies are ignored - it LOOKS really, really suspicious.

Even Jet's fans will start feeling sorry for us.
I wonder if Rudan could have done better if he came to the Mariners?

 

[Scotty]

80th minute. First shot on target.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

We've spent most of this season without a fitness coach, haven't we?
Just amazing how many injuries we have. Seems like the sort of thing that actual fitness and conditioning would help prevent.

Given we're continuing to set records for the worst team in the history of the league, I think we can safely say he wouldn't have done any worse.

 

[shipwreck]

In a competition that once had the New Zealand Knights, that stings..

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

What the actual f**k was that Simon. WHY would you knock the ball back then??? Jesus f**king christ, I genuinely think we don't WANT to score.

 

[Antlion]

I officially hate my own team (whilst continuing to love them).

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

One of our players is flattened off the ball - and again, the commentators don't mention it, don't replay it.
Just looks more suspicious....

 

[Bsharp48]

This is actually horrendous..., im embarrassed to be a paying member
