    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Former FFA board member and 74 Socceroo Jack Reilly talks FFA and other issues to santo.
Well worth a listen if you haven’t already, talks about the state of the game and an insight into FFA and there failings
Not very complimentary of FFA.

9.50mins no report to the FFA board about the world cup bid. He had no idea about the video
14mins he put a submission to FFA to review the 11yrs of A League before the Chairman left. Didn’t happen. No Accountability
15min The FFA have set the agenda for the A League. Have they monitored that. Never.
16.40min from 1982 written by Frank Lowy as City Sydney president issued a stern warning to the clubs in the PSL. The phillips League is under the control of the soccer federation, the league has very little say in whats is happening (instead of changing it 30yrs later he is using it to his advantage - my words)
24mins talks about him settling up Calton and demanding experienced players and the best 16,17 & 18yrs in the country and they must play (the old Mariners way. Experienced and youth.) he brought through Bresciano Grella Collisomo because he demanded they play.
33mins nice crack at stephen lowy

But is anyone complementary of the FFA after about yr 5 of the Lowy dynasty? It was mean to devolve power in the Crawford report.

We need to abolish the states, have everything run by a central body and appoint Europeans who know football.
Australian football admin just look after themselves or try and copy NRL/AFL.
Just give us a proper football system and ignore NRl/AFL and people who say "Australia is different, we can't have real football".
