Mariners Grand Final win- DREAM IT. SEE IT. FEEL IT...

[LFCMariners]

Just over two weeks ago, many of us took time out each day to imagine the Mariners beating the Scum 3-0 in the second semi. We know how that turned out...

This time, it's the Grand Final. Now, no doubt the Scum will be bagging us out as the 'gypsies'  : and talking alot of shit, but that's all they do. Talk and not much else. Hating things saps your energy, and focusing on how much we hate The Squadron/ the Scum/ Joel Griffiths etc. is wasting valuable time that could be spent thinking about how much we want to see the Mariners win next weekend.

Instead, let's forget about the opposition this week, stop worrying about the possibility of losing. Let's just think about winning and how great it would feel. Last time there was a particular score (3-0) that we had to focus on. This time, take a minute out each evening, preferably between 6-8PM. And rather than a scoreline, just imagine seeing the boys holding that golden toilet seat in the air for all to see. Imagine the huge smile on Aloisi's face, the relieved grin on Lawrie, Vidmar saluting us, the crowd, victorious. Imagine the high of being there in The Marinators bay or anywhere in the stadium, on our feet cheering until we're hoarse, flags waving, banners sky high, chest swelling with pride at the reality that WE are the new champions, the undeniably BEST team in season 2007-08. Thoughts of the Scum, Joel Griffiths and Craig Foster are for another time.

LET'S GET TO WORK AND SHARE YOUR DAYDREAMS WITH US ALL!

The vision coming to me is actually getting my greasy hands on that toilet seat at Mingers and just laughing hysterically.

I was in the middle of the Marinators Bay, on my feet cheering as the noise from the crowd reverberated from the stadium roof. The boys were up on the podium, Johnny's eyes wide as he threw both arms in the air and pumped his fists. We all began chanting "ALOI- ALOI- ALOI-SI! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"  verhead:  And then they are holding the golden toilet seat sky-high. More cheering, more blue and yellow banners go up. On the opposite side of the stadium I notice the Scumdron are already mostly filtered out. The boys leave the podium to start their victory lap as we're breathlessly chanting 'WE ARE CHAMPIONS! YES WE ARE CHAMPIONS!' over and over.

 

[~Floss~]

I'm picturing Johnny pumping up the whole home end into a frantic chorus of "Championes, championes, ole ole ole" etc. Viddy joins in with him and they soon get drowned out by "Ooh, ahh, Vid-mar.."

Kick some Novocastrian ass! Most other Wellingtonians here seem to be backing the Mariners from what I've seen/heard, and I'm one of them. Best of luck, I'll be wearing yellow to the pub for the final before getting back in black!

I'm visualising the end of the match, the Mariners have won, and Danny leads the whole team over the ad billboards, over the fence and INTO the Marinators End "The Bay". They walk up one side of Bay 23, around the top and then back down the other side, shaking hands and hugging folks as they go along.
