Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 2)

didn't Victor quit? 

*** BREAKING NEWS *** 

Mosgiel stalwart Michael Abbott is due to undergo a medical at De Carle park tomorrow evening before a controversial move to Dunedin Technical A.F.C.

Any other signings? Interesting one that one...

Roslyn's latest signing - Jesse 'I've played at more clubs than I've had hot dinners' Wright

Justin Flaws looking to have a big season, the veteran is a regular down at Absolute Health and Fitness and can't wait to squeeze into his Tech kit come game 1.

Weighing up a few offers from various masters teams

Heard from reliable sources that Roslyn are favourites for the league after bringing in 3 imports #LookOut

just got sent this via facebook messenger, initial reports were that Abbott had failed the medical due to a finger injury but Doctor Letts has given the all clear, expect this transfer to be concluded within a week.

Highly rated by club hierarchy and would go real nice in the Tech midfield but highly unlikely 

Does Fergie know what a football is? 

Someone tell him it's the thing he likes back heelling to ACFC strikers.

Lucky to stay on the park today.

Tom Jackson with more goals this season (8) than Southern United have points (7)

He has impressed me a lot, pretty much every time I've seen him play. How old is he? Who else has he played for?

Googled it - https://www.southernunited.co.nz/senior-team-2014-1...

Still only 24. Although being a Liverpool/Sterling/Macklemore fan loses him some credibility.

Good 2-1 win against a very strong Selwyn United, Mosgiel looking good for top honours this season #moneyinthebank

John Bishop would be happy with that joke. What have Selwyn done to make you think of Mosie being a winner?

Do you think Hamish Cotter would fancy a move to Northern? Murray Devereux is very keen on the youngster

no chance the kid is to shy to even ask for a transfer sheet

As part of the Selwyn squad that was down in Dunedin for the weekend I thought would offer a couple of points of view for the 2 sides we played. Green Island on Friday evening after driving down that day Selwyn won 3-2. We were pleased with the attitude and effort of our players. Then against Mosgiel the next day we were again very pleased with the effort and only conceded the winner in the last 10 minutes after 170 mins of football. We were missing 3-4 1st team players through unavailability and injury (only had 13 available for Mosgiel game). It was a big improvement on when we were down last year. I think the Green Island team looked better organised, but the Mosgiel team had better players. Full strength for both sides in the Mosgiel game would have been interesting, but Selwyn were very pleased with the weekend

Mosgiel midfield, who will miss out?

Morgan Day

Eder Franchini

Matt Kelly

Rahan Ali

Tech offers nothing this season aside from a couple big kickers and a few sprinters whose shins do most of the work. From the way the tech boys have been playing for southern, they will be a myth by the end of round one. 

SPRINKLER signing in.

1.Tom Batty

2.Ferg

3.Cam Attwood

4.Andrew Ridden

5.Tom Connor

6.Morgan

7.Eder

8.Nick Hindson

9.Tom Jackson

10.Peter Rae

11.Regan Coldicott

Any half decent coach would have a line up something like this. Its about time Southern United got a good coach who isn't biased as f***. I've seen little girls with better touches then some of those tech players. 

Come mid May, he won't fancy being knee deep in mud at Memorial

nice team Sprinkler, Rae & Coldicott didn't fancy national league this season & Connor, Day & Eder have been injured quite a bit no?

game not at memorial now at the cale

Thats a shame, bobbly memorial filth could be the key to a successfull Southern United. Take the football out of it and and use the kick and chase method that they love. They will struggle on the cale, 2-1 down.  

yea could've been key!! Only having 2 wins and a draw from the first 4/5 games and not one point after that is poor 

Sources close to home tell me that things are already getting heated between the team at Mosgiel. 

From seeing the game today, I think this is valid.

who's the keeper? And any good?

you were playing Mole.

good result today

 but still can't get off the bottom 

why was young Dykstra in the stand and not in the squad today??

Thoroughly undeserved win for Southern, and probably the worst ASB Premiership game I have ever seen. Unfortunately Jackson is the only player who would get into other sides in this league.

Playing for who? Waikato need a partner to Marquez, and Canty have no strikers but that's 3/9 teams... That's actually not saying too much really.

Bollocks that. Great atmosphere.

Thought it was a great game to watch. A couple strong performances from Jackson, Ridden, Joy, Howard, Chile kid in the middle. Finish the season off strong next week with a victory

Tom is class he will be cavys only hope of winning the league but he will destroy the like of northen
