The league-leading Central Coast Mariners host the embattled Newcastle Jets in the third F3 Derby of the season this afternoon. Join us from the kick-off at 5.30pm AEDT for commentary of the action from Blutetongue Stadium.
This is the rubber match for the two sides, the Mariners having won the most recent clash just over a month ago by a score of 2-0, and the Jets getting the victory in round three, scraping home with a 1-0 win care of a first half Jeremy Brockie goal.
This fixture is well-known for its animosity, and despite the differing fortunes of the two clubs in season seven, the series is pretty evenly split; the Mariners have enjoyed nine wins to the Jets’ eight, with another eight draws.
Regardless of the result the Mariners will remain on top of the ladder – the three points at stake will hold far more importance to the Jets, who may fall behind Gold Coast United to last place should they lose, and nothing would please the Central Coast more than to be the ones that send them there.
Though to be fair, a win for the away side would be enough to get them into the top six, at least temporarily, such is the ferocious competition for the last couple of spots in the A-League finals series.
With no Matt Simon there will be an increased sense of burden on the shoulders of Bernie Ibini, who now leads the line, but hasn’t scored since the round twelve win over Perth.
On the other side of the ball, Byun Sung-Hwan will be keen to atone for last week’s debacle in which he was responsible for not one, but two own goals.
The Mariners will also aim to uphold their reputation for miserly defence, having only conceded more than a single goal once this season (and that was thanks to a Brett Emerton free kick in the last couple of minutes when they beat Sydney 3-2) and have only been breached ten times in the entire season; a fantastic record.
In addition, Central Coast is undefeated in their last twelve game, a club record. And they’ll be hoping to stretch it to lucky number thirteen.
It might be the A-League’s fiercest rivalry. Who takes the honours this evening? We’ll have live scores and play by play commentary from 5.30pm AEDT. Join us for news, lineups and formations prior to the kick-off, and if you’ve got an opinion on the action, leave your thoughts in the space below.

Turned out to be a pretty interesting game in the end. Both sides had their chances to win it, a draw probably a fair result – thankfully that penalty was missed by Hearfield after what was a ridiculous decision from the lineswoman – no need to get involved there.
As for the stand outs; it was the big centre-half from each team that looked the best. Topor-Stanley for the Jets was excellent throughout, winning almost every header and blocking a few shots. The one time he was beaten to the ball was when his counterpart Patrick Zwaanswijk headed the ball home to level the scores, and he too turned in a superb performance.
That’s it for now, stick with us on The Roar for the next blog, which will be the Roar hosting Sydney FC in a few minutes time. Feel free to follow us on twitter @TheRoarSports or myself @TheMattBungard – oh, and leave a comment here if you want. Cheers.

And after so many awful corners today, finally they get some joy from the set piece!! Topor-Stanley couldn’t beat the big Dutchman to that one and his glancing header found a gap between the post and the keeper and that evens things up!!

Well, what a cracking derby this has been after a very slow start. The Jets are in front and deservedly so, they’ve thoroughly outplayed their hosts who are sorely missing Matt Simon, as Topor-Stanley has been having a field day at the back with no physical presence to challenge him.
