If anyone who does the chants knows the Entrance Primary school song, my son thinks it would make a good chant for the mariners.

 

[Allreet?]

As I once said on the Songs and Chants thread, a song mainly done by Arsenal but also one or two other English clubs would translate well to the Mariners:

And it was Ma - ri - ners
Mariners FC
By far the greatest team
The world has ever seen
And it was Ma - ri - ners etc

Sounds great and very easy to learn.

 

[Allreet?]

Also, it's just about true right now.

 

[Spacks]

And it was Ma - ri - ners
Mariners FC
By far the greatest team
The LEAGUE has ever seen
And it was Ma - ri - ners etc

I propose a change to this chant

 

[Allreet?]

Naaah... world is better.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

We've conquered all of Asia.
We're never gunna stop
From muscat down to combank
We've won the f#kn lot
Palm trees and sauce bottles
Our home is paradise
We' re the treble winners
And we're from the central coast

Allez, Allez, Allez........

 

[MrCelery]

Rebel Rebel by Iggy Pop

Chorus at 0:58

Treble Treble, we've done the miles
Treble Treble, we've have the smiles
Treble Treble, how could they know?
Hot Champs, we love you so

Original:
Rebel Rebel, we've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot Tramp, I love you so

 

[Archie]

Heaven is a place on earth

By the palm trees plays a football team,
Kissing the badge is what it means,
No matter what we’ll always follow you,
Central Coast the yellow and blue,
Lololololololololo,
Lololololololololo,
Lololololololololo,
Lololololololololo.

 

[Archie]

Bit of a long one but we could use this against most teams after we score.

Yo ho ho off we go,
What do you know we’ve scored a goal,
Bye bye (opposition),
Mariners are on the ball again,
On the way to make us win,
Bye bye (opposition),
You can sing about your washed up players,
Sing and shout the words you’re no surrender,
But we’ll just give you this heads up,
The Yellow Army’s about to erupt,
(Opposition), bye bye.
Repeat

Tangential, but if we ever need a Macarthur tifo, can’t go past the gambling slogans

• Imagine where you could be playing instead.
• You win some. You lose more.

 

[bikinigirl]

• You win some. You lose more.

. funny you should say that. somebody linked on here a summary of the Jest season quoting Stanton throughout

. in my head, i was thinking so what you've just said is: 'we win some, but we lose more'

. i considered posting my thoughts but cant stand the impact of gambling on society so thought better of it ... then the news broke about the Bullshit

Love it, we would like to do more simple message banners this season and I’d love to do something funny like that

The gambler.
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the COPS ARE done

 

[Allreet?]

Another tifo for Macarthur could be just one giant yellow card.

Maybe with a dollar sign on it?

I think we need to have a Mariners salute. Similar to the Leeds salute but with 3 fingers to the left breast where our badge is. The 3 fingers signify our Treble. Thumb and little finger tucked in.
Can be used as a greeting whenever you see another Mariners fan.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

And a snake

Surely every Mariners fan buys fake money. First yellow card, everyone launches the money in the air. Fun!

Obviously not a chant but thought it would be fun to get old mate Chat GPT to write out a new version of The Gambler for us

On a long team bus ride, heading to a game night,
I met up with a player; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a-talking 'bout the season and the struggles,
'Til he shared his secret with me, and began to speak.

He said, "Son, I've made a life out of getting yellow cards,
By knowing when to argue, and when to foul too hard.
And if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of luck.
For a yellow card is crucial, if you wanna make a buck."

So I handed him my drink and he took a sip of whiskey,
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the bus grew quiet, and his face lost all expression.
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right."

You got to know when to argue, know when to tackle,
Know when to trip them up, and know when to get that card.
'Cause there's a payday waiting for every yellow that you earn.
There'll be time enough for counting when the match is done.

Every player knows that the secret to surviving
Is knowing who to foul and knowing who to cheat.
'Cause every game's a winner and every game's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to play it to the beat.

And when he finished speaking, he turned back toward the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the distance, the ref blew his whistle.
But in his final words, I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to argue, know when to tackle,
Know when to trip them up, and know when to get that card.
'Cause there's a payday waiting for every yellow that you earn.
There'll be time enough for counting when the match is done.

Gossy Good Times shirts are in the works.

Few other merch items are also in the works including a 20th anniversary shirt.

Throwing of bottles and cans is f**king stupid and only seems to happen when part timers come in the bay. Happens every finals time, they come for the atmosphere, don't add any of it themselves, disrupt the bay and then steal a flag or banner on the way out.

Bringing back Tetris means bringing back the band, if they're only coming when the APL pays them, then maybe not the best idea.

Sit down stand up is fine if not over done. Doing it 3 separate times in the second half of the Semi did not go down well with many in the bay.

CCMCFC does get traction with fans. It's an easy chant I can drum without a capo and slots in well behind other chants.

Tifos and banners are good, But costs add up. Personally I'm not asking for money right now, but it's something the newer guys may need to consider. I used to spend my own money on the smaller banners and fund raise for the bigger stuff. Maybe a bunnings Sausage sizzle is required.
It really hurts when they're stolen, time and effort plus the financial side.

We've come up with some new chants that need tweaking, a celebratory treble chant is something we must work on in the off season.


I'm really thankful that Archie has come in with the right mindset and ethics (unlike others) He's made some great banners so far. And I'm enjoying his video work too, it's a great pormotional tool for active support.
A huge kudos to him. The bay is in good hands and I'm more than happy to help them.

Replace "the world" with "Australia's" and that'd be a good one.
