You sure do have a lot to say today Dino�Thought Henderson did alright better than last week still has to improve tho.Not sure what happened you just cant concede 3 goals like that and come away with points. Coburn was a machine in midfield never backing down like a Spartan warrior,Burgess showed his class with a classy volley that somehow the keeper got a touch on and up until the 72nd minute I thought the back 4 gave very little away in defence??Then something went wrong but what?

 

As for Liam Little the keeper..Are you sure you have a clue what you are talking about?? I doubt it very much!This guy is a NZ international not some guy that Otago has grabbed off the street,1st-Not much to do?I remember quite clearly him coming out on at least 3 or 4 occasions to punch on corner�s and was having a very tidy game until he �misses the 1st goal� that went top locker and not even David James would have kept out!And then to say harden up after it was obvious to everyone at the game he was in some trouble and was trying to play through it but he had to come off thinking that was best for the team.So maybe before you should of read that twice before you posted it and sounded like an arse Dino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truth you are probably right... did say at the top it was a vent.... You do have to think that going off for Cramp is pretty dodgy... the team management knew what was going on but were choosing to ignore him.. Fleming gave him a right serve when he came off..
 
Frustrated to watch the team let it slip, definitly went pear shaped.. strange substitution when Chisholm came on.. would have thought that he would have slotted into the backline..

why the would do that beats me!Yea maybe they should of went to 5 at the back or but chisom just infront of the back 4. point would have been better than 0!

truth buddy everyone will see the game differently and fair enough if you want to vent your frustrations, but don't call someone an arse for having a differing opinion as it is just an opinion as is yours. try not to sound holier than thou when you post.

my vent over

To be fair to Truth, I spoke too early and my words were a reaction to the disappointment. I have removed the offending rant and promise to wait at least a couple of days before posting.
 
It was a cracker game on a beautiful day. Great venue and good crowd (peretty vocal when the header went in and popped back out)
 
Otago are much improved on previous years, it is great to see that it is from local players who are stepping up. There is an understandable lack of depth once past the starting 11. Otago is also limited to what it can do on the field with the players it has, ie pacey wingers, overlapping fullbacks, one footed midfielders. They are trying to play an attacking style with the 4-3-3 formation, which is awesome.
 
I think we will struggle to make top four (two Auck, YHM) but will give it a shot and play entertaining football.

Very little chat lately...So anyone got any idea on changes for this weekend??

Maybe the back 4 might get a change up?? Feel that it is probably the best looking line up of the players they have but at the end of the day you can�t leak goals and win. Wouldn�t mind seeing wee Morgan Day getting a chance�And what about the Germans? Is it a home game or away??

I think you are right, I don't think you will see the germans for another week if at all.
 
Seems to be a good atmosphere at training, a lot of hard work is being put in.

No, live near Sunnyvale and have watched some trainings. Phelan seems to have changed for the better and is still yelling but not as confrotional as prior years. I watched the Germans at a training and didn't notice anything special.

Are there any players looking worthy of pushing for a start? I can't imagine Phelan not having a few words to say after they threw away a certain 3 points. Bet he had them running at training?? Kennedy2008-11-28 11:39:53

Yer great team player.  Walked out on Canty middle of the season last year with no notice and went to Australia.  Comes back this year (to suprisingly open arms) and had 'differences of opinion' with the coach and didn't train or play. 
 
Good luck to all concerned. 
 
Should be a good derby at English Park in Jan....

thanks for the heads up otagofan, seems a little pricey for my liking lol.

the main reason i asked was i've seen some people up here walking round in the YFTW tops even some yoofs and thought maybe in a fit of parochial madness id get a otago united one.
