You can finish 6th and potentially win the play offs and be crowned champions.Quote:

About to start, Central Coast Mariners v Sydney in the second leg of the semi finals to decide who plays Melbourne Victory in the Grand Final.
Central Coast at home and won the first leg 2-1.
If Central Coast win the Grand final will be on their home ground.
If Sydney win, it will be in Melbourne.
Wellington and Mariners would be the final most neutrals think would be the most deserved, and they finished 1 and 2 on the ladder……so that almost guarantees a Melbourne v Sydney grand final😂
Half time 0-0Quote:

CCM have looked like they’re happy just to see the game out and take the 0-0. Fair enough if it works but they’ve been ***** to watch.Quote:

Was offside right enough…Fabio in offside position and impeded the defender who was going for the clearance….ball clearly over the line.Quote:

Probably Mariners worst attacking performance of several seasons, not just this one, but they did what they had to do to get through.
A full stadium next week for the final,and if they win they’ll get a toilet seat as a trophy and the huge monetary prize of F All😂

An all too familiar feeling being at that Wellington game last night. Gutted!
Between Hibs, Phoenix and Scotland it’s not an easy life of fitba supporting.
Grand final has started and is meant to be on the TV but can't seem to find it.

Different second half.
Mariners relentlessly pressing and Nisbet cuts the ball back for Edmondson to net the equaliser in time added on.
1-1 and now in extra time
Typical, I turned it off at HT bored of it…Quote:

Josh Nisbet awarded the ‘Johnny Warren Medal’….the annual award that goes to the player considered the best player throughout the A League during the season.
Played every single minute. Unreal.Quote:

Hope we made one.
Few games on the TV tomorrow morning
