[General Ashnak]

We should have Fabio and Bruce in contention, the big concern is our central defenders. Fyfe and Boogs have no hope of keeping Duke and Ibini-isei in check.

[Old Gregg]

Fyfe and Boogs are not world beaters by any stretch but they're good solid pros, if the right mentality is in the squad and there's good communication across the backline we should be fine.

[EdDog]

As sh*t as our backline is, it doesn't help that we rarely have any midfielders helping them out.

Half the time it's the opposition attackers running freely at our back 4 without a pressure in the world.

[Reds]

Any idea who Arnold will rest, is it too much to ask for Ibini Mcglinchey and Bojic to be rested

i predict a solid 2-1 win for AU as the mariners won't be going 100% in this one.

[ChillyPhilly]

Not looking forward to the foot race between Fyfe and Duke.

[Reds]

Not looking forward to the foot race between Fyfe and Duke.

if he survies a mckain challenge then i'm sure Fyfe will finnish him off.....won't get the ball but.

[General Ashnak]

Not looking forward to the foot race between Fyfe and Duke.

I doubt there is a single player on the CCM team that they could keep up with.

thats if they show up!

Angry Central Coast Mariners on brink of strike due to club's failure to pay wages

By Ray Gatt

March 21, 20138:19AM


Angry Central Coast players are prepared to take strike action over the failure of the club to pay their wages on time.

The dramas at the embattled Mariners escalated after club officials again failed to come up with the money to pay the players their overdue monthly wage, which is now five days late.

The Australian, which broke the story of the club's financial battle earlier in the week, was told the players, who had been promised payment by Monday or Tuesday, met on Wednesday night in a bid to force the issue.

It is believed the players will strike, including not attending training and even boycotting matches, if they don't receive their money by close of business on Monday. Professional Footballers Australia is expected to issue a statement, backing the players.

As long as they don't take their frustration out on our players' legs. Could be a busy Monday morning for the AUFC medical team.

McGlinchy away with the all whites.

Not the A-Team but the B-Team.

Central Coast Mariners coach Graham Arnold is contemplating fielding a ‘B side’ in the A-League finals to boost their chances in the AFC Champions League.

[ChillyPhilly]

No complaints from me about a B-Team.

I'm tempted to take what follows as a big sign. In indoor tonight we ended a hoodoo streak against this team we could just never beat. It's our first win over them, ever. 6-3 too!

Hopeful to watch this one but it looks unlikely.
Saw CCM play Sydney weekend before last and was very disappointed. Hopefully that sort of side shows up this weekend!
