Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)
Had to laugh at Braithwaite�s �if there was an elbow surely a player would have gone down� � um not necessarily. If you throw an elbow you can't complain if you get sent, although to be fai the ref was appalling
I saw plenty of other off the ball stuff that Canterbury got away with, especially the right back, who was lucky to be on the park at the end of the game.
I have to agree with Horise things are looking good. I thought 1-0 flattered Canterbury, they were out played, so they to got physical (fair enough), but lost that battle too. There were couple of nevous moments with the late corner and I had that felling we might be punished for not putting the game away.
Best OU game ive seen in ages on sunday, couldnt get over how solid they were at the back!! Bring on auckland next week

AUCKLAND � New Zealand Football advises that due to a breach of player eligibility regulations, the match between Team Wellington and Otago United on 23 October � originally a 2-2 draw �has been awarded as a 2-0 win to Team Wellington.
Following an investigation into the status of Otago United player Donnie McGregor, fielded as a substitute in that match, it was confirmed that McGregor was ineligible at the time to play in the ASB Premiership.
Subsequently, the league standings have been updated to reflect the changed result and the goals scored by Otago in the match have been expunged.
McGregor has since been cleared to play in the ASB Premiership.
This could be the last game for Darren Overton as he has had a couple of job interviews X Australia and flew out to Australia during the week all paid for by his possible employer, was due back before the weekend.

I was a great effort by the young men up in Auckland and I think Toffeeman66 has got it right. We didn't get the win but we were close and we are finally getting the respect from the other teams around the country that I personally believe hasn�t been there whilst I have been involved. The local talent are really pulling and fighting together and you can see that on the pitch. I have had quite a few Otago United supporters come in and see me and they have said that it is great to see this kind of spirit on the field and they haven't seen this in a long time. The supporters are really enjoying cheering on a local team. A lot of credit for this has to go to Richie and Andy for the way they have moulded the young men. It was a shame that the young men got a point taken off them for the ineligible player. Many people around Dunedin aren't happy with how this got out. Obviously it is bad from the administration to allow a player to play when he isn�t allowed too, but what annoys a lot of the people involved with Dunedin soccer is there are still people down here who are trying to hinder the progress of the local lads even when they aren't in charge anymore. It's a real shame
