Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

[Wombat]

I'm trying to get down to that size (XXL) I've actually lost 10kg. since last Nov. but I'm buggered where from. Although my left earlobe does look a little smaller?

So you are not who I thought you were????!!!!

I thought you were the little bloke who filmed the Wanderers grubs with his mobile when they were bouncing up and down in front of us like a scene from the Zulu movie on there first ever HAL game.

Really struggling watching good ex-Mariners at other clubs...

Similar sentiments myself.

The real 'struggle' I think as a fan is having to live under 'Charlesworthian Economic' conditions & knowing when opportunities like Bozanic arise they are but a 'hopeful dream' alas.

So you are not who I thought you were????!!!!

I am Mr. Average, Mr. Everybody, Mr. Mediocre, Mr. Ordinary, Mr. Normal. You will not pick me out in a crowd. My real name may be John Jones, or Peter Smith or Joe Blow, but you'll never know.

And that's the way I like it to be.

Good luck to Mossy. As a coach he made a beautiful pundit.
Nice bloke and just promoted into a full coaching role before he was ready.
I wish him well.

For anyone interested in the English translation":

Hey where do we go
Whenever it's match day
Down to the stadium
to watch the team play
they're running and a passing
they're shooting and a scoring
no matter who we're playing
we're always winning

The Mariners, Central Coast Mariners

We've won the championship
we've won the 'seat'
la la la la la la la Central Coast Mariners (x 3)
The Mariners

(It was originally to the tune of Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl. The kids made it into more of a chant, except for the '"la la la...)

It would be great if Bay 16 did a version of this & posted it on Youtube for the kids in Togo.

I like it.

But do they have PC's in Togo?

 

[adz]

I like it.

Pretty sure Mark Zuckerberg is making it so everyone in the world has access to a PC so they can use Facebook

 

[sydmariner]

Bill Gates too

Ou allons-nous
les jours du match
en bas au stade
observer les jeu d'equipe
ils sont courent et le passage
ils tirent et des buts
peu importe qui nous jouons
nous gagnons toujours
les marins, marin de cote central
on a gagne le championnat, on a gagne le siege
la la la la la la la , marins de cote central (x 3)
Les Marins!

For anyone that speaks French desolee pour la traduction

Yes, they have wifi' in Togo (and that's how they pronounce it), but the speed is dreadful. It literally takes 10 minutes to send a one line email

I took two months off work (I have a good employer) and spent July and August working as a volunteer at an Orphanage in Lome, Togo. It was a French Colony until 1960, hence the French.

It's pretty basic at the orphanage. They don't have a lot to amuse themselves, but the boys love soccer and they take any chance they get to play with a very battered ball outside on the 'street'. There are a little over 30 kids from 4 months to 15 years, and they love doing / learning anything new. So just for fun we used Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the basis for a song to my favourite football team. Just before I left I got a few of them together and videoed it. Unfortunately many of the kids had work to do at the time, so there were only a handful available for the recording, and I have to say they didn't sing it, so much as chant it. But they had fun!

A friend of mine who is still there wrote to me the other day and told me the kids are still singing it!

I have to assume that Dibo speaks French (no doubt better than me), hence his interest.
