Tensions between the Jets and the Mariners have ramped up over Matt Millar’s move to Newcastle. The Central Coast knocked back a request for an early release yesterday, and insist he won’t be sidelined for the rest of the season.

The loss of Matt Millar has overshadowed the signing of two Sheffield United teenagers. The Mariners are also preparing to host A-League champions Melbourne Victory tomorrow, with Turkish International Jem Carrigan expected to be named on the bench.  

An explosive situation is developing at the Central Coast Mariners, with breakout star Matt Millar sent home from training, after the club learned he’s signed a two-year deal with fierce rivals, the Newcastle Jets. Management only learned of the deal after they sat down to offer him an extension, with his current contract expiring at the end of the season. It’s understood the Players Union has been engaged, and it could get messy.

The Mariners are looking to bounce back from a controversial F3 Derby result when they face Adelaide tomorrow. Coach Mike Mulvey says the problem-plagued VAR should be switched off.

Central Coast fans can rejoice – with Jem Karacan training with the squad for the first time today. The 29 year-old played in the EPL as well as the Champions League, and will add experience and leadership to the mid-field.  

And Mike Mulvey certainly didn’t miss in his post-match press conference. The coach was scathing of the officials – claiming Newcastle’s goal was offside, and that the Mariners should have been awarded a late penalty.  

Mariners Head Coach Mike Mulvey believes his side deserved a second consecutive win last night. A highly contentious VAR decision went against the home team in its one-all draw with The Roar.  

After their breakthrough win of the season, The Mariners held a short session at Pluim Park this morning to avoid the sweltering heat. Ahead of Sunday’s clash with Brisbane, coach Mike Mulvey confirmed Turkish International Jem Karacan is coming to the Coast on a short term deal.  

They may have avoided setting one record….but they couldn’t escape another. On Wednesday night,  the Mariners drew their smallest ever crowd. Still, coach Mike Mulvey insists they’ve had a taste of victory, and they’re hungry for more.  

The Central Coast Mariners are one loss away from matching the A-league record of the most consecutive losses in a single campaign. They’ll face a strong Melbourne City outfit on Wednesday night, themselves coming off back-to-back wins.
