The 'Let's just unbunch our frickin panties for a moment' thread

maybe we should all just salsa our wrists... mmm mexican 

 

[dibo]

mmm... salsa... *drools*

It really is time to bunch the panties - not only for the football but for our crowds. 

The next two games are away to Melbourne and away to Fury - then 4 games out of 6 leading up to NYE  at home.

If in the next 2 weeks we don't get any points  - and we play uninspiring football - then I can see us just fading away into obscurity this year.

Conversely if we can turn it around and get a run on - home crowds and support may build over the next couple of months.

The time is now - this is the tipping point.

Having seen our last 2 games, anything less than a humiliating flogging in Melb is a decent outcome.

A point at the Tard dome and we should be celebrating like winning the league.

Fury will be a bastard of a game and a point there will also be a decent result.

What will hurt us this season is the drawn home games (Scum,Std Fury) - in this comp if you win your home games, you are going to make the post season cup.

6th will do me with the scum to run last - anything else is a bonus

we'll win in melbourne, partly because we're due for a win, partly because we've got a knack for upsets and partly because it will annoy the knockers.

I hope it's cold down there to assist our foreign boys I still think they are  not liking our weather
But Doig is starting to get a decent colour about him.

I thought the same thing but how do you explain the 3-0 win in QLD?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Trying to impress the meter maids?

 

[greenlig]

It wasn't hot when we won up here in Brisbane. It was actually the best afternoon for football I have been part of. Awesome weather, great time of day, 3-0 flogging...aaahh.

Yeah feels this way to me too.

Dearly hope your right.
Victory are very dangerous in attack, but have looked leaky at the back.
But they always play better when they get their tales up.
I think we will be up for this one. But bound t be tough.
Should be a good game, as long as we don't get creamed.

Won $500 on our first round win...
Can lighting strike twice?

Given we were tipped by all and sundry for the spoon, I think every Mariners fan can be proud of the side's achievements so far. Especially after the debacle that was the back half of HAL 08/09 and the ACL tournament.

I think our crowds will pick up a bit over summer but the club NEEDS to market better. Relying on a mention every third or fourth day on Star 104.5, the LEAST popular of the three major commercial stations... that doesn't cut it.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

I agree.
PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE!!!

 

[adz]

Take a look at other sports and how they are getting shoved down your throat 24/7, compare this to the barely mentioned A-League. Maybe the sport is relying on the fact that 204.8 billion people watch the World Cup every 4 years so they think they don't need to advertise. Clearly that is not working.

By that you meant a humiliating flogging OF Melbourne, right?

So decent then!

 

[FFC Mariner]

when I saw the team sheet I thought we would get hammered.

When we went 1 up it was worse because now I had hope.

Spent 60 minutes counting down every second because until Matty got the 2nd, it was still anyones game.

Last 15 minutes, surreal

Made my feelings known re switch to Star FM at the start of the season......feel somewhat vindicated. Unfortunatly!

I think it's been far more successful than whatever was on 2GO but it's still all rubbish.

Speak to anybody not as involved for example as people on this forum or die hard fans and they don't even know when games are on. Seems obvious when our main medium is a radio station that by any yardstick attracts the smallest audience on the coast?
