G'day guys, self-promotion so apologies for that, but assumed you guys would be interested in this article
As a writer(and relatively new one) ain't alot of good writing if no-one reads it so here you are:

Here's the start of the article, want more click on the link.
When you ask Lawrie McKinna and Alex Tobin about the Mariners grand final loss to Sydney FC in A-League season one, they both still groan. Even though it’s more than fifteen months ago the bodies still seem to twitch a little.
“How did we lose that game? The chances we had. Six great goal-scoring opportunities but we just couldn’t finish on the day. ” says McKinna.
His Mariners team had gone to Aussie Stadium home of Sydney FC in front of a sell-out grand-final crowd. Everyone knew Sydney FC would win the first A-League title. After all they had Dwight Yorke. The Mariners fans and their team stormed the bastion. Chance after chance came and went. Each one easier than the last. Surely they would score. And then it’s 1-0 to Sydney, game over.
Mckinna knows the goal problem continued all through season two. “We played well enough, we let in three goals more than season one, but scored 12 less. We got key injuries, but we couldn’t score. We lost Dean Heffernan (to Nurnberg) who scored seven goals, Noel Spencer scored six in season one, I don’t think he scored in season two. If only we could have kept Damian Mori for the whole season.”
