Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)

You might be the one thats a bit shocked young lad, he's not the fizziest drink in the fridge

Well Basher, I certainly value your input.

Mate, I just hope they aren't mind-f'ed from that 5-1 demolishing. I am sure they can put it to the back of their heads and write it off as "one of those games" though. The best thing would be to get out on the paddock this weekend and put a few goals past the next opponent. We have a chance still for definite however as history has shown this will be a massive task.

As for the likes of Horner I thought he was average in the weekend and is over-rated all around. An alright player don't get me wrong but lets not get carried away. The best players in that team are Overton and Jackson no question.

fizziest drink by the way - brilliant.

Does anybody know who makes the predictions on the soccerbot website?

hard news for Queenstown women...captain and key midfielder Susan is injured and in plaster. its a hard life.

Fair call.

Bit of a drive though.

Is that Susan Houge?

Yeah I noticed this too. I think it's an automated prediction system based on recent performances, table positions and home advantage - even though it doesn't count for much when it's the Cali. Can't see the result going any other way than 3 points for Cavy. Gave them a 5-0 schooling last time, and that was a weaker squad, too.

It probably doesn't take into account Varsity exams.

Ask Stu Munro, he's the one that set it up

Exams have only just started this week, so varsity should still have a full squad. Whoever plays them the following 3 weeks should count their blessings, though.

hope you're not ditching your team over those 3 weeks Connor

I might have to take a break, I'm afraid. Osgood Schlatters disease is plague-ing my knees at the moment. I'm only playing reserves though.

Results?

University 0-5 Caversham
Tech 5-0 Spirit
Roslyn 4-0 Grants Braes
Queenstown 1-4 Mosgiel
Green Island 0-2 Northern

someone cocked up on the sportingpulse website. not 0-0 like stated on that site.

yea...huge blow and its tomorrow.

Nice one Football South.

Cant wait for tech vs cavvy 2nd round in 3-4 weeks time. I can tell you now its going to be a complete different ball game to their recent Chatham Cup encounter.

Sean Brand has one eye ball.

it will be 8-1 not 5....

Myers will help

Liam Dunbar, the next Noel King of the physiotherapy world

He's not exactly quick. I've seen him get done for pace at Secondary schools level, first hand. And he was pretty shocking in the game I saw in chch between Canterbury and Waitakere. Got done 4-0.

a slick Northern Women side teared to shreads a Queenstown side missing 2 key midfielders. 11-0 final score. But Queenstown seemed pleased and Northern seem adament that we went down just to hurt them...ohh well. The good news was that Northern was stacked with quality players who came back for the game and we started to play some nice football in the last half.

Stu Munroe what the hell goes through your head?

According to the Footballsouth website Cavvy drew 0-0 with Varsity. They must have got sick of rigging draws and have gone on to fixing results

What is this guy thinking Basher? Mosgiel will finish third!
Predicted outcome for Frosted Tips' Green Island looks fairly accurate mind you

I try my best

It'd be good to see them get a result against Tech again this year. That 1-0 last year was classic.

Just read the on-line program and noted there was a bit of conjecture surrounding Tech playing at the Caledonian every single week of the season.

I can't see what the issue is. Don't you want the best teams on the best pitches in order to promote good football?

So why aren't Cavy on it every week? Or were they lucky when they won 5-1?   

Because Neil Birch wouldn't have anything to do otherwise, theres not exactly copious amounts of dog muck on the Caly pitch...Caly gate yes, pitch nein

Basically I think Varsity feel shafted. The new Cale was built on top of what was their no. 1 pitch and rightly or wrongly have considered it to be their home ground ever since. They feel they should have priority over Tech who have a home ground but choose not to play on it and who have adopted the Cale as a home ground long after Varsity did. They also see other options such as Tahuna for Tech.
