Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)

Feedback, do you play for Braes??? IF so how are they looking this year?

Christo u make a very valid point

id like to think so lol its not always the case

Not playing for them.  As i said I am not on anyones side in dunedin football.  GB is just where i choose to watch the games.  I use to love watching Laidler get stuck into his teams.  Grants Braes will miss Ben Eder this year as he is of to cavy but all the best to him.

So Feedback you are a supporter then eh??? Where do you get all this transfer information from?? you must have an affiliation with some club or player to have all this info

I must admit i do know a few players from around most of the clubs.... I like to consider myself Otago  footballs version of Sunny Shaw

There's only one Roslyn player in the Team so im sure that is not the reason they are not winning i hear there is a great team spirit but it's just not happening on the field thats all!

 

Feedback what you don't no isnt worth knowing

Dave Shaw good player

Correct

maybe its cos they only have one roslyn player that they're not winning?

no 1 is 1 too many lol

Bigfoot, also known as Dave Shaw, is an alleged ape-like creature purportedly inhabiting football fields mainly in the Ellis Park region - FACT

Northern were crap FACT!They guy at the back with the big nose was good tho

Northern have always been rubbish esp with Otagofan in charge

Ellis Park worst ground FACT?

Cold,wet and Sean Brand learking around

I think it is fair to say the so called hatred between clubs is only skin deep. I know players socialise  with other clubs during the winter and it is only good-hearted banter much of the time.

As for this division in Otago Utd with guys not letting go of spl alligences is just not true - maybe in previous years but I know for a FACT they get on well  they just can't string a pass together.

lol well thats good to hear.

is it lack of playing time together? if they only play as a team x amount of weeks per year maybe the cohesion isnt there? or maybe it'll just take time if you can retain a core of solid players and bring in players that can better the squad. 

braes will be rubbish as alwasy they belong in the fletcher cup. dunedin would lose nothing if the league were reduced to 3 teams. Tech Roslyn and cavy.... each team players the other six times. Making up a 12match season. The other 7 (so called first teams) sides play 5 aside at the edgar centre

Ant Hancock did not get the service he needed last year and was udjusting to playing for roslyn... played the entire season with a broken wrist afta having been chopped continuosly in invercargil (chatham cup round 1) horseshead212009-03-04 16:24:20

In regadrs to otago united getting betterer would an "elite" youth squad be any good in the SPL? i dont know how it would work maybe like an otago united reserve or youth team, building up otagos younger talent hopefully building a stronger base for the otago united squad for the future?
fudge knows

No it would be useless just like the f**king milk cup youth team who clog up the league every year and get pumped every game. Apart from university and grant braes who the youth team often beat 

lol losing builds character right?

i hate horseshead21 - FACT

bigfruit= definite tech player - FACT

just cause i think you're an idiot doesn't mean i have any affiliation to tech

yeah playing with older players would help them develop as well i guess learning off them etc.

U lads need to harden up a bit and enjoy the banter,

People hate Tech - FACT
People Hate Cavy - FACT
People hate roslyn - FACT (or thogh I dont know y they would )

Wat sort of age would this youth team be
?

I don't remember ant hancock beating a player last year.

team big fruit???? that name plus the profile pic of blair ....dead giveaway

i would've said teambigfruit was a roslyn player?

as for age group how young would you start them? 16? you'd need players in there 20's as well or even older, kinda like what the a-league has done. is the player talent pool that big and would this help? not sure there may need to be other systems in place to make sure these guys will better off in this team than a club side.
