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.

As has been noted by many, this was a success story for Peil, overall. He can use this for self promotion and to get his foot in the door with bigger clubs (I'm thinking other codes) as a guy who brings success.
Again, I didn't need an extended sequence of him mountain biking, having vaguely relevant calls in his car, or discussing picking up speeding fines because he went to the wrong location for a meeting. That footage at the end of Peil walking away is burned into my mind, as I feel that was most likely recorded specifically for the moment, rather than how it's traditionally done in recontextualising a non-scripted moment.
I wanted to see how Mark Jackson was able to pick up the pieces from such a short turnaround, ingratiate himself with the squad and turn things around from such a poor start to winning it all.
I didn't dislike the whole feature, but I certainly felt it was a missed opportunity and is ultimately mostly forgettable. My expectations were sky high, admittedly, I was hoping for something I could watch in years to come that would cover all the the incredible highs and provide all of the context of the incredible achievement.
I'm about half hour in and he never felt far off being on screen or at least providing a voice over. A rough watch at least early and certainly no Sunderland til I die or Welcome to Wrexham.
