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!

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.
Monty can't keep fixing pregame mistakes after going down though. Kaltak while skilful doesn't deserve a spot. John while deserving isn't fit enough. Fazz and Ballard while deserving on last season aren't ready this season. Our play is very very slow when we are in the game and lacking polish when we are behind. Our back 3 of Danny John and Kaltak aren't good enough going out of our back third.The fear to shoot inside the box was embarrassing.
a small bright point for me was the impact of the subs. Monty was atleast proactive in that regard. Tulio was positive, ruhs energy was needed but his quality wasn’t there today,
all that positive energy from pre season has quickly evaporated

Rowles and Birraz are proving massive losses. Bringing home Danny, to basically retire is not serving us well. We need authority at the back. Big ask for Hall or Triantis to deliver.
He's the captain. He sets the tone. He runs the defence. He's too slow and he's too quiet. The team selection is wrong but once it's selected its his to work with. Saying nothing after that first goal is inexcusable. He's been out of action for too long and it's showing. I love him but he's the wrong signing.Again, what did Danny do wrong?
fantastic reflex save from a very good close range header that 2 on 1 ccm players didn’t clean up as they definitely should’ve as they were flat footed and ball watching. And an unfortunate rebound that again Kaltak was closer and if wasn’t on his heels could’ve done a whole lot more. Don’t blame danny for this loss.
It's not Danny hate. It's criticism. I love himYeh I'm not on board with the Danny hate.
To be clear. I’m not hating Danny. At all. Seems like a great guy, obviously a quality keeper. Can’t blame him for his horrific defenders.Yeh I'm not on board with the Danny hate.

I was at the game against roar in redcliffe last year and the goal Miller scored was because of Birraz. He was constantly telling the back line where to be and what to do. Danny doesn't seem like he is. I might be wrong but I don't think so.
fingers cross it is two games inWell two games in and looks like we didn't have a pre season. Maybe this is the wake up call they need to bring themselves back to earth after winning so many pre season games. Better be a new starting 11 next week and some better tactics. Not many of this games starting 11 should be there next week going off that performance. Subs made a difference so they all deserve a start.
100 percent they are def capable of being betterWell that was abysmal. We still haven’t replaced our losses adequately. We’re really missing Urena and Miller. Hell we still haven’t replaced Stens yet and he left 2 seasons ago. Despite showing flashes, Ballard isn’t up to this level yet, despite what his supporters say, he’s not a 90 minute Aleague standard footballer. Kuol did his best Silvera impression after he signed elsewhere a few seasons back. Forget Qatar, you wouldn’t take him to Woy Woy on that effort. All the skill in the world doesn’t make up for the lack of effort for most of the team tonight. The positives I guess is that we know they’re capable of more and hopefully they come out next week hungry for a win
