[FFC Mariner]

Sim and Bosnar?

Notwithstanding those 2, I think we will win this.

Mariners to win and both teams to score.

Easy money

 

[dibo]

Alex Rufer any relation to Wynton Rufer? Huge weight on his shoulders if so!

 

[true believer]

not a local derby and we get a ref that at least is competent to referee above U9's level.
expect a master class in diving from wellie

Alex Rufer any relation to Wynton Rufer? Huge weight on his shoulders if so!

I think it's his son or nephew . quite a blood line if it is

Coast to take the points...as for the crowd and the score...who knows

 

[VicMariner]

Phoenix created enough chances to get a result against Victory. Their defense let them them down and not getting shots on target. (Sounds like us).
Also Victory probably played their best game this season.

This game could be a goal bonanza for both teams. Won't finish 0-0.

3-2 Mariners.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

If Sarpong fires we could be in trouble. He looked a week or so from full fitness against Victory and him fully fit could make Phoenix a proper force.

 

[nebakke]

Hmm - again - I actually felt fairly good about our defence until Posco came off last weekend... Granted, the Smurfs are far from the most fearsome attacking unit this season, but they're not exactly without experience there either.
Still... If Posco, McGing and Rosey can all start, I think we're looking decent there.
I do worry about who replaces Fitz... I have no doubt of Heffernan's credentials, but I'm figuring that there's a reason, other than age, for Fitzy having been behind him in the lineup...
Either way, I haven't seen us beat them since WeeMac's betrayal, so I figure a win here would be good, a big win, would be a nice turnaround

 

[FFC Mariner]

Assuming everyone is fit, I have a recurring nightmare of Sim wide left.

L Rose/Kalik or Tricky to come into the middle I expect

 

[sydmariner]

Tricky is still injured & not in the squad

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

One team who are figuring out their strategy versus a team who has nothing to lose....screw it, I'll tip us. 3-0

 

[Wombat]

3.1 Mariners. Crowd 8,112..

Same set up as last weekAustin in for Fitzy.

 

[FFC Mariner]

If we get 6k I'd be delighted

 

[dibo]

I predict a crowd of 7,166. We're going to win 4-1.

 

[Arnie]

The crowd will be 8017. The score will be 3-1 to us and monty will pick his yellow up at the 67th minute. Sorry I should have put a spoiler alert out at the start of this post.

 

[true believer]

We'll win . The
Paddy will score

 

[MagpieMariner]

We'll win . The
Paddy will score

And so will Fab, Cac, the Healy Sprite, Heff.02, Monty & Izzo!
