He is not a bad keeper, so I'm not saying he is bad or rubbish or anything like that, just that the level he is at is about right and the next level (ASBP) is a step too far for his talent level.

Football is all about opinions montoya & in this case Vader's & mine are the correct ones

Lets get a few things right - because this is getting a bit stupid now.

1. Mosgiel - still a Mosgiel player and put everything into that club with coaching, playing and being asked to captain the side in my first few weeks in Dunedin. Those who question my loyalty may want to be one of the 6 people who regularly turn up to training. Played every minute of the league and attended every training including pre-season. What more can I do? I attended an after-match speech by myself ffs.

2. Southern United - if I get a shot then I will train as hard as I can - that's all I want. Had a conversation with the coach when I was moving down and that conversation was continued - there was no begging. Came through my old club.

3. Caversham - ??

3. Hit me up on facebook or email if you have something you want to say- I'm pretty approachable. I don't appreciate all the negativity to be honest and don't need it - friends and family read this shark and I find it embarrassing. I know fudge all about the people down here or the football and this year was very unsettled. I think the coming season will be better as I can focus on the football more and not adult life so much. Until someone tells me my body is broke I will keep playing and pushing myself to play as high as I can while I can- otherwise why bother?

It's easy to point out the faults in people (or highlight them with a video link) but I personally don't want to be that guy. Goalkeeping is tough enough anyway without making enemies.

**Fong is a quality player in my opinion - good finishing and quality strikes. The service provided to him was poor and his team defended 90% of their games and probably the reason behind the low return of goals. Cotter is pure quality and I rate him highly. Dijkstra is a good shot stopper and Whittaker I haven't seen much of. Interestingly there was a shortage of keepers at the start of the season - I thought Whittaker may have joined another club to get first team experience.

Best post in months. Agree that Whittaker made a mistake,needs to move club or does he want to be Dunedins Steve Harper? Waste of talent at this stage
