Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 2)

What's the update here?

Have heard it was his hamstring that went snap, not his bone. Anyone know if it was the same leg he did at the start of the year? Hopefully he'll be back for SU, would like to see him and Jackson (provided he wants to) play together.

Have also heard It was the same leg he got his surgery on in earlier in year,  just outstretched his leg and went ping, slight hammy strain. He won't be out long! Will yah reg?

Reg, Jackson and T-Mac front line for SU, that's a lot of speed!!!

Cavy get a scare from Mosgiel before scoring an 87th minute winner 2-1.

Tech too good for Otago University in 3-0 win.

goal scorers? details?

TJ,RC and T Mac could be as feared as these three this SU season

Supposedly both TJ and RC are not playing this summer, would have though Jackson would have been chomping at the bit to get back into it all. Hopefully Fridgey can change their minds. Is Tom Connor putting his hand up this year?

Roslyn thumped Northern 5-1, goals to Attwood, Foster, Cameron, Wilkie and an oggie.

The other results were

Cavvy 2 Mosgiel1

Varsity 0 Tech 3

GI 0 Queenstown 0

Caversham take the title this weekend, 3-2 I say over the might that is Roslyn, fizz up!! Better luck next year Tech

Cavy are champions after defeating RW 2 to 1.

Tech win 3 to 2 over GI. Uni win 3 nil and Northern get spanked 6 to 1.

The guys a Twit. Heard Jesse mouthing off in town the he's a certain for SU this year. Any truth in this?

wasnt this kid with GI initally anyway

Yep. If he could back up some of his chat he might go alright. Shame he can't.

How many University players will make it this year? 

Jesse is the guy who buys this ice cream

like you're work brookside, don't know the guy but thats gold

Southern United pre season having to take a  break for the Alex7s.

Good to see a coach that is thinking about more than himself and his own agenda.

Who is going to Alex7s and in what team?

When will the Southern squad be named?

After the pre season game v Canterbury United would be my guess seeing as SU haven't had a training run yet. 

S U v C U  being played in Timaru.

Right lets give this page a shake up. It's been too quiet for too long - I guess that's what happens when Roslyn and Mosgiel do so poorly along with some of our more frequent posters heading off shore though.

How is this United team shaping up? I hear there is a certain foreign player heading to these shores...... 

please provide a name!

i agree it's all too quiet doon sooth

Anyone have any tips on the potential Southern Squad? Offshore players? Most of the team will be made up of Caversham and Dunedin Technical players anyway. If I was The Scottish Mike Fridge I would be taking Collier, Jackson, Ferguson, Little, Ridden, Ryder and maybe one other? from Dunedin Technical Batty, Joy, McBride, McLennan, McCormack, Howard + another?

Anyone know of other names who could play? Not a bad nucleus 

Prattley heading back to SU from Waitakere.

Best Southern/Otago United squad last 10 years

                          Pfannenstiel

Marfell/Connor     Falvey/Horner     Joy/Boylan      Prattley

Eisenhut     Cunningham/Coburn       Scoullar     Stevens/Ryder

                    Burgess       Smith/Jackson

Other players worth a mention?

source?  waitak stated on their website that he had signed for them for the season

This is the worst post in the entire forum.

True. 

First training on Tuesday, 

Heard from a bird that De Costa has booked flights to graise Dunedin shores over the summer? Could be a pretty good asset in that midfield! First training at Logan park I heard. What are people's thoughts on rickerby playing up front with McCormick and Jackson? Strongest positions for SU will be speed up front??

Rickerby playing? if so that's awful

4-2-3-1 & here's the starting point

Batty

?, Joy, Attwood, ?

Da Costa, ?

?      ?      ?

Jackson

good luck to southern, be nice to see them be competitive this year

on another note what happened to the mighty horseshead this year, worst finish since 2002....?

Can we get some odds on this fixture from The Bookie? The Battlers of Football South vs the Pretenders

Battlers XI:

Blair Brown

Sam Cosgrave, David Hayman, Cam McPhail, Jesse Wright

Sean McIntee, Craig Wilkinson (c), Cody Robinson

Tim Dunn, Phill Kelly, Tennesse Kinghorn

Coach: Murray Devereux

vs

Pretenders XI:

Mike Rae

Rory McLeod, Logan Wrightwebb, Matt Webb

Ryan McGarry, Ewan Bakker, Cody Brook, Jesse Smith

Jack Kirkwood, Callum Flaws (c), Alistair Rickerby

Coach: Malcolm Fleming

Great post, surely Wright to captain Battlers though? in saying that Geoff Toovey is a right Battler TBF

Agreed, good post. But whats the definition of Battlers and Pretenders?

Are the Battlers those who put in maximal effort in an attempt to make up for the lack of skill?

Are Pretenders those who think they are good but just aren't?

IMO Battlers would be clear favourites at $1.37, Pretenders at $6.50

Golden Oldies XI:

Steve Henderson

Mike Smith, Andrew Douglas, Michael Abbott, Darren Hart

Tim Cook, Richard Smith, Justin Flaws

Brad Scott, Aaron Burgess, Phill Kelly (c)

Could the Golden Oldies of the Football South Premier League take down The Battlers or The Pretenders?
