2008 C.C Lightning 1st's & U20's WSL

[FFC Mariner]

1-1 against Mt Druitt on Saturday night.

Very tight game and a draw was probably a reasonably fair result IMHO.

0-0 at HT, Porter scored a tap in mid way through the 2nd half after a brilliant piece of work by Lobb(??). Sadly, a late goal after allowing a free header in the last 5 mins.

Wardy came off in the 2nd half with what looked like a nasty thigh injury - he was outstanding in the 1st half. His replacement made 1 brilliant save but was given no chance with the goal.

McAndrew was less worse than previously but still looks massively unfit and seems to insist on taking free kicks etc when his delivery isnt the best (to say the least). Caught out of position time after time as per Tuesday night too.

Crowd - negligable. Weather - freezing

TONIGHT...

Sydney Uni VS Central Coast Lightning
@ Uni Oval No. 1        7:30pm K.O

** Entry is FREE **

Going to head down to the Uni after work cause its close to my house, havent seen either team play and have heard some alright things about both. Anybody else heading down there to watch? Don't Lightning have a couple of the Mariners playing for them, so I've heard from people who have seen them play?

 

[marinersman]

Actually Corica scored in the 61st minute and Bridge the scum scored in the 64th minute.

 

[Jumping4Sydney]

Anybody going to the game at Pluim tomorrow night? Im on the coast for work over the weekend and was just wondering how many people go to the games there. Seens though I went to the game at Uni last week and I enjoyed it, Im going to attend this one, theres nothing much else to do up there, or not that I know of.

 

[FFC Mariner]

No, you are quite right. Apart from Lightning games there is nothing happening up here.

When it gets dark we just put the sheep in the barn and settle down for some whittling.

 

[Jumping4Sydney]

What time do games start, and how much is it to watch? I have no idea cause it was free last week?

 

[FFC Mariner]

7:30 usually and it can cost between $0 and $10 depending on who is on the gate (I kid u not)

Will freeze ur ass off as Pluim has its own ecosystem that is linked to the S Pole.

Crowd is usually a few 100 hardy souls.

I'm likely to be going

 

[Jumping4Sydney]

ok thanks for that mate. So I wont have any problems finding a seat there? Is it a proper stadium or just a local ground?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Proper stadium is stretching it a bit...........

Run down, shit hole but there are sort of stands on the sidelines.

The Assn has no money and it shows

 

[FFC Mariner]

2-1 win against Uni.

Brady Smith show really.

The kid is going to be something very special. Easily the best player out there. Pace to burn,fabulous close control, very quick feet and good shot.

Puts himself about a bit too. Nice bit of mongrel in him.

Mariner Watch:

Matty S in the stands

Ex Mariner watch:

Trotty was in goal and to be fair to the bloke made 2 unbelievably good saves, one early in the game was quite brilliant. Then proceeded to hesitate every time a cross was played in........

McAndrew helped the cause no end by not playing.

U20's drew 2-2 I think

 

[FFC Mariner]

BTW, Smith scored both goals. 1 was a fantastic free kick from the edge of the box. Keeper didnt even move.

 

[Bear]

I didnt know Trott was back at lightning. Bit hard on Wardy I reckon

 

[FFC Mariner]

Wardy wasnt even on the bench. Maybe he is injured??

 

[offtheball]

He is injured, as is McAndrew

 

[marinersman]

Parramatta 4 Lightning 1. U 20's. Parramatta 3 Lightning 1. Bugger!

 

[FFC Mariner]

He is injured, as is McAndrew

How on earth can u tell??

 

[FFC Mariner]

1-0 tonight against Fraser Park in probably the worst game I have seen for a very long time. FP kept 10 men behind the ball for 90 mins.

As far as my JD addled brain can recall, CCL had precisely no shots on target (or off) and only scored after a goalmouth scramble. Trotty allowed an open goal inthe wnd half (that they missed and that was about it)

Cold and crap really

B Smith never got he ball all night and might as well not turned up

good result though as FB were coming fourth

 

[FFC Mariner]

You wouldnt have known it though. Defended en masse for the entire game.
