Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)

You will be happy then roslynfc with Matty Joy making his way over to the horsehead this year. Little will start over Evans even though Pete has been outstanding.

Donnie MacGregor to Roslyn too

Matt has been a joy to watch this season, along with Cunningham

if so, he'll have to wait till halfway through the season, unless the rules have been changed

is curtis day heading to Roslyn?

it wouldnt surprise me considering he couldnt start for the mighty mosgiel

Sad News about the passing of John Wilkinson, one of the good guys around Otago Football. Had the privilege of playing under him at Green Island in 98 where we played 16 games scored 90, conceded 10 & still didn't win the league! RIP

Yes Mr Wiilkinson was a great man and will be missed

predictions for this weekend against Waikato?

Otago to smash those school boys

2 nil to the schoolboys!!!!! nice

Overton hanging around for one last game

i think Wellington will win this by 6+

Fleming to score a couple

Wellington will win but not by 6+ but they will secure the win. The Otago defence is very good but struggle in midfield now with Cunningham gone. When Overton is out this squad will look very thin. You are all right about Otago about the Christmas break...a downhill spiralFootball Talk2012-01-19 14:20:49

Dazza is playing. OU flying him down from chch just b4 he heads to Sydney on Monday!!

Predictions for game vs Wellington? I am going with Wellington up 3-0

Not a bad game yesterday considering the weather & a piss poor referee, how's that guy made it to NZFC level? he was making up his own rules i think.

The great Justin Flaws. You will be on your way to Roslyn this year won't you?

i don't think there will be a third spell at Ellis Park for me

what happened to queenstown?

From todays Southland Times:

Q-town are a disgrace, waste of space

Ive heard a rumour that matt woodhead has signed for Green island? Thoughts?

Grants Braes are a garbage football club.

Who?

One of the greats

Yep exactly, who?

Will the same old clubs make up the top four in the league this year, it's been the same for a while now, think Northern were the last team.

Some teams have started their pre season training, heard Coldicott & Day were spotted training at Memorial, the Otago Utd coach wouldn't be happy with this?

Southland who are 50/50 at this stage of playing in the SPL are looking at signing a few Dunedin based players, names to be mentioned were Morgan Day & Harley Rodeka

Yarn

And a sh*t yarn at that

i don't really care if you think it's a yarn but Southland will be headhunting Dunedin players

top 5 quickest wingers in SPL:

1.Regan Coldicott
2.Tim Dunn
3. Joel Stevens
4. Tim McCleneen? not sure last name plays for the mighty champs
5. Seamus Ryder

1. Joel stevens

2. Daylight

3. Tim dunn

4. Regan (quicker with a ball than tim IMO)

5. Fraser cameron (deceptive turn of foot)

any clubs training yet apart from The Plainsmen?

Joel is def the quickest with the ball, then Coldicott & also think Regan would beat Tim Dunn in a sprint

The only time Ryder shows a good turn I pace is if he's chasing his misses around the octagon on a Saturday night
