Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)

thats not very nice horsehead, are you quite a good player?

haha na fixer I stand at the back head the ball and kick lumps... in a nutshell

Dalman playing with you horsie?Hows he going..Any other Dunedin/uni boys?

Yeah mate hes doing well, brace and assist from him last week. Mather likely to sign on for remainder of the season. Only other from down south we have is jordan higgins but hes out for the season with a back injury

Word at tech is that Burgess is hanging up his boots after this season as he wants to spend more time with his wife and new child. Can anyone confirm this?

Predictions for the weekend?

Tech 5-1 over braes
Cavy to be upset by uni 2-1, finally ending any hopes of a successful season
Spirit 2-0 G.I
Roslyn to sneak a late winner over Northern
Mosgiel 4-0 Qtown

Burgess wants to be the new Phil Kelly, so prob got another 15 seasons left & another 15 kids to come, cavvy will win, green island to beat 10 man no subs Spirit

well is the league back on, with tech drawing with the mighty braes???? or are they just foxing the the also rans?????

Smart money is still on Tech to win the league. Wonder what the odds would be from the Fixer now

Any sign of arrests in the great Gardens pitch dig?I heard the nylon genius Steve Brook was in the frame for questioning, and that he requested a ground change earlier that day....

Tech v Northern moved from Caley to Sunnyvale, still an early game.

yeah fixer, what has happened to the Gardens?

bit random, why?

Rumour has it Terry Phelan is coming back to play/assistant coach for Otago United this year. He doesn't like it overseas and thinks he is still up to competing with NZ best.

Michael/Dusty Rhodes. I can assure you. It is just that rumour. Terry is under contract over in India. He also if anything wouldnt be involved with OU after the way he was treated last time. He would go sometimes upto 3 months without being paid. I also believe he wasnt the only one of the staff that it happened too.I believe that they owe something in the vicinity of 100K. That is apparently including player reimbursements and also payment of M Flemings wages.They still havent appointed a Coach and im sure if i was one of the ChCh players or for that matter a current OU player. I would certasinly have doubts about playing for them in the coming season. The writing is on the wall. They will be Goners !!!.  

not sure how the league will turn out now, my team Mosgiel if results go their way could find themselves up there at the end

Word at Caversham is that they may have to pull out of their Chatham Cup quarter final due to funding issues in getting up to Auckland.

Predictions this weekend:

Tech to bounce back over Northern
Mosgiel may struggle on the artificial turf down south, but should pull through
Cavy too good for Queenstown, should be 5+
Roslyn to end GI's good run of form
Grant's Braes may pick up another point against uni

Upsets this week look unlikely

 

Cavvy won't pull out

6. WITHDRAWAL, PENALTY FOR FAILING TO PLAY AND
REPLACEMENT
(a) Any team defaulting their obligations after the publication of a draw shall be
liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) and may be
suspended from competing in the following year.

cavvy been given some financial help from ASB, if you can't afford it, don't enter the cup!

as my team were out of town I had a chance to have a look at Tech & roslyn.

Have to say Tech had a fairly easy game, i think Northern would take 5-0, tech could've scored another 5-8 to be honest, 12-0 would've been a true reflection, when i was there Northen didn't even really have a decent shot on target?

The Roslyn Green Island game was better in terms of excitement, Roslyn were bloody lucky to escape with a win in the end, didn't deserve it but slotted a great pen in the last couple of minutes so credit to them, as the braes showed last week, the bottom teams can maybe cause an upset so look out the top four....

cup games next week, hopefully two Dunedin teams can make the semis, don't think its happened before? i think regardless of who you support lets get behind Caversham & Dunedin Tech & make it happen, all those ex uni students in Auckland on the saturday & everyone in Dunners next Sunday get behind the dunnos teams!

I had a look at the gardens yesterday, wasn't too bad what did they do?

From a Bay Olympic friend of mine, wanting to know who the strong performers are for tech these days?

 

xus, dont think you know. Jack sh*t.Malcolm is the Coach and will be. Till they pay him. They owe over $100,000. Lamont, BVG, Hedderwick need to go. Have any of you guys ever seen Hedderwick.The Board is behind you Malcolm.

He's not even the best Flaws in the team.
