Given the earlier record yes - but consider the differences in team budgets of the two teams. I'm sure MacArthur would have spent over twice in budget compared to CCM. Considered that way CCM way overachieved just getting into the finals.

Can’t lie the pressure was on that’s probably why

As a Mariners fan, I admit that first 45 was basically all Macarthur but the second was basically all Mariners. The refs eyes were painted on and our goal should’ve counted

Ikr. The thing is the goal should have been allowed. The defender deliberately played the ball and our player got it and scored. If it were a deflection, the goal should be disallowed. But it wasn’t a deflection and instead an obvious play at the ball. Mariners should have won the match and gone through. Should never have gone to extra time. Don’t know why nobody else is talking about this

Mate, I was yelling Law 11 at the TV as loud as I could last night! I suppose we are just going down with dignity.

@@nathanlara8461 Macarthur played a filthy game. 1 red card and 6 yellow cards. Just disgusting

@@ryanperrott1290 majority of them were undeserved & the ref was a joke

@@codycommandeur123 buddy they were all deserved. Most of them were stopping a promising attack and just filthy tackles. For eg. Milligan’s tackle was from behind the player. Just reckless tackles.

It's not a big deal it's only 1 man less

And lost
