SS Prem 2016/17 TV Games: CU v TW | Sun 19th Mar | 4.30pm | SS3

who did hbu have playing for them?

No Charity Cup this season?

it would seem not

No separate game this season. 

The Charity Cup will be on the line when Team Wellington play Auckland City in the league on Jan 8th at Dave Farrington Park

Bit weird that it isn't on the line in Round 1 instead.

I think it's not on the line in Round 1 as the game is hosted by the ASB Premiership winners ?

Anyone who's coming along on Sunday, welcome to join us at the new pub in Sandringham the Lord Kitchener from 3pm-ish.

Is it possible to watch some Highlights from the first round games like last year?

Highlights package is on SS2 on Tuesday evening at 7.30pm.

Thank You and in the internet as well?

Bec I am not from NZ and I can´t get SS2.

NZ Football weekly has stated on twitter that there will be something up on Youtube sometime tomorrow - https://twitter.com/nzfweekly/status/790758894612062208

Great highlights package I reckon. I did miss the first 5 minutes however it was good quality, showed all the games (I think?) and there was no cheesiness in between each segment. Oh, ad no random breakaway interviews or other bullshark we have seen in previous highlights. 

All the cheesiness was in the first 5 mins - who has the best abs? Joel? Let's see them again... Can't wait to see Norelle interviewing her buddy Clayton L. That could be a cracker.

No HB v Waitak game on the highlights show?

It will be in next weeks, as the game was on Monday they didn't have time to edit it

anyway the result may be overturned by then

All but the HBU v Waitak game up as highlights on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/skysportnzl/videos

Nice to see Raf on the big screen.

Has this thread been left to rot?

Good point, will update. Next game is on Saturday between Auckland City v Hawkes Bay. One issue we can take is that again it has been relegated to the pop up channels.

Wahey, Saturday arvo football.

We've been out in local schools again this week after our last home game - had a few schools approach the club as a result as well, all within zone of Kiwitea Street.

yes that pop up issue is annoying. 

Because Sky Sport suck at replying to messages I just sent an FB message to Fan Pass asking for more football and less golf as there was Golf on SS2 and SS4 during the game yesterday. Honestly who purchases a Fanpass for golf? Stick that and fishing on the living channel or something..

Imagine doing this on national TV

And then conceding the penalty 2 seconds later! (albeit the world's softest penalty).

Why do these GIFs only happen to Southern United players? :/

A few people slipped in those highlights. Not used to turf?

Defender was nervous as fudge about getting done (had already been done previously). Then proceeded to get done.

Was watching on a different angle live and after he fell over he tried to grab the ball with his right hand, thought better of it and then got up and gave away the peno.  You can kinda see him put his arm out in the televised view.

Very good article written by Liam about the abuse on the fields

Because Southern players have no idea how to defend... or attack... or anything really, do they get paid? What an easy, cushy job. Get paid regardless of result—fans, media, family and management expect nothing. There's no pressure to perform either. 

Some good match ups this week with Auckland City away at Club World Cup for next two rounds.

Current table too

Reminder game on TV tonight, watch and/or record it. Other games you should be able to follow the action on twi

Game this weekend is Saturday featuring Wellington Phoenix U-20 v Hamilton Wanderers before the Nix v CCM game.

This weekends fixtures

Thrilling matchups this weekend considering in every match apart from WeeNix vs Hamilton Wanderers the favourites are the away team (in that match there's no clear favourite really). Surely not all of the favourites will be able to win away from home though so there could be a home win or two.
