IT'S A MARINATED WORLD: CCM v WSW..it was HUGE

Firstly..let me just say that if this had been any other game at The Fortress, that amount of water we got would have had it called off...BUT...they didnt , so we all stood in the rain
and had a good time.....and the atmosphere was..

Its been suggested that football can be very cruel and Saturday's game v the Wanderers was a clear example. WSW were second best for 89.3 mins. A sad result but a great game & a great atmosphere.

The boys, I thought, played well, and like most, I think we were the better side. I don't know if it was a case of the football gods not smiling on us or we were just a bunch of a pack of cock-eyed nitwits in front of goal.

BUT...McBreen's cross bar effort crossed the line I reckon
.

Both sides played some entertaining football with some of the Mariners stringing of passes in the second half was positively brilliant....Everyone that comes to Mariners games would know that our finishing would bite us on the arse one day.....Saturday was that day.

It was also the first time..I think, I`ve ever been to Fortress Bluetongue and the Yellow Army were drowned out by the opposition supporters.

Although the support in Bay 16 was massive,the sheer amount of the RBB was unbelievable....The march in over the railway bridge was fantastic,the best I have ever seen to any ground..either here or in Holland (for example)

As for the crowd behaviour, apart from a few flares it was great...BUT..after all the shit the Bloc went through from the FFA over the flares at Wanderland....you would think they would self police a bit better.

At this point I usually give the guys a score out of ten each....suffice to say everyone on
team Mariner pulled an 8+ out of themselves on Saturday...

As for the penalty ..well...Covic went the wrong way but his legs stopped it....still, its time
to give one bloke the dot shot responsibility I reckon.
