Mariners vs Sydney

Some of the claims here about bias and corruption are ridiculous and doesn't make us look good as supporters.

I agree completely. This whole saga has created many a red face. Seen the pintculture game previews? Take the mickey out of us and its well deserved. Everyones acting like a bunch of geese.
Sydney guys were idiots but so were we. Some of the behaviour i saw and reported racism from the crowd was disgusting. My daughter was abused by our own supporters for goodness sake. Its a travesty for our club this game. On and off the field

Either that or he thinks that Gold is a shade of yellow.

For all you "statto's" on here, can anyone confirm if Vukovic is the first goalkeeper to ever be sent off in the A-League.

Not a "statto" - but Bajic lashed out at Fred last season and was red carded.

Was up till 2am last night watching the replay.

The courage and spirit displayed by the mariners last Saturday night was beautiful to watch. I'm left in awe of the heart and soul the team put in for their team mates, the club and the fans. It would have been so easy - and understandable - for the team to have lost the plot after the red card and the injuries took hold. It was very hard to watch stuff like Popovic's red cardable attack on Simon in the box and Talay's bone breaking hack on Heff, but, the Mariners remained positive and still gave us some beautiful football.

They're going to need to dig deep again in the next few weeks. I seriously hope we as fans can all show the same sort of positive spirit and support our team deserves. After all, it was just one game in the season. Every team has their ups and downs and, if anything, this effort shows that the Mariners have the mettle to do us proud, even in the worst times.

So, lets be proud mariners supporters. Lets be positive and shout for our team. Let the fans of those other teams enjoy themselves while they can as it makes our game stronger. In the meantime, we can quietly rejoice in the knowledge that they will never know what its like to be a MARINATOR and to support a team with heart.
