Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 2)

Should be a good battle I reckon. 2 tough games for us in a row. Gotta love winter football! The only pity in this league is no relegation - that usually kicks things up a notch too.

Morgan Day must be due for his annual mid-season trainings with Caversham? or like last year, try a cheeky transfer to bitter rivals Green Island after the transfer window has closed

Cavvy 3-0, too much firepower for that Mos defence

How obsessed are you with Mosgiel AFC?

Nice to see Keegan Taig in the mix, should be starting ahead of Wright

3-0 would be a good result, Cavvy have hit top form, i'll go for 5-0

Run us through it ZG

Absolutely atrocious game by us in all honesty. We just didn't have it from the get go. Taking nothing away from Caversham- they were clinical and well drilled and punished our mistake... but we inflated the score by being poor. I'll put my hand up for most of the goals as I was well off yesterday - horribly poor form. But what can ya do, either roll over and give up or we battle back and win some pride and see what happens. That's football. We have a massive game this weekend.. and a couple of really tough fixtures coming up. But like I said - it's football... anything can happen. Blew my goals conceded right up though....fudge.

True humility Zane well done.  And keep keeping the sunny side up son.

When's the big boxing match TK?

he's had a brain explosion and will miss arguably the biggest game of his life this weekend  

Hahaha you wouldn't mind PM'ing me your new photo on Facebook Wrongin. I need a new DP

Who wouldn't keep tabs on assisting over half of your teams goals Candle? Yes against an average Timaru side but still have to give the right ball every time. 

Can someone clarify why Ebanda was allowed to play against University last night, thought he got a red in his last match?

Football South is a joke. Mosgiel should organise a friendly with the milk cup today so their two suspended players from the weekend can play against Tech

Yeah it's an odd one isn't it. The Milk Cup Roslyn game was Football South sanctioned though, not just some ad hoc friendly.  But it their game had the status it appears to have in terms of a player serving a suspension, then what about cards dished out in games against Milk Cup - do they not count?

I think we've known for a while that those running the game down here (there is the odd exception) don't exactly know what they're doing. 

Neither TK or Keegan should be suspended this weekend anyway considering it's a completely different competition.

And if you get a red card in a cup game you shouldn't be suspended for league games??? yea right. 

Its a fairly simple rule; you get a red card and you miss the next game, regardless of whether or not its a league or cup game. That rule has nothing to do with Football South. 

However, I don't think that games vs Milk Cup should count for suspensions as they don't count towards league points. Since Mosgiel don't have games at the stadium then you'd think if they played the Milk Cup team it would follow the same lines. Would spark a bit of controversy / debate

On a side note, great article in the ODT today, most insightful article about a football south game in a long time. 

From NZF

1. A Player’s suspension from one Competition does not preclude a non playing participation in another Competition. For example a Player under suspension in one Competition would not, unless determined as a consequence of the relevant Disciplinary Committee or Appeals Committee decision, be precluded from coaching, refereeing or managing another team in another Competition. 

Operative word there JW is 'non-playing' participation. This doesn't cover the Ebanda circumstance. The rules regarding this situation are stipulated below. In my opinion this is another example of a lack of understanding and ultimately poor judgement from Football South:

1. As a general rule, every match suspension (of Players and other persons) is served in the Competition in which it was imposed, except:
   1. 19.1.1 where the next match is a cup competition match, the suspension will be served in that cup competition match; or
   2. 19.1.2 where the match suspension is imposed in a cup competition match, the suspension will be served in the next Competition match. 

I got sent to the showers early by my Div 4 coach at training last night for a poor challenge during a practice game - I'm just wondering whether this counts as a competitive match and if so am I suspended for Saturday? Your considered thought and judgement is appreciated Football South. 

Don't worry my coach has just told me we're going to have another inter-squad game to finish training on Thursday night so as long as I sit that out I'll be good to go for Saturday. Hopefully the grounds aren't out tomorrow ?

Suspensions can/need be served the next season if a red card or a yellow card [equaling 5 YCs for the season in any sanctioned comp, which would result in a 1 match stand down or 2 games for a total of 8 YCs in a season] was obtained in the final game for that player.

This ^. Congrats Tech

:(

Need to stop hitting that bottle 

Pretty happy to be so accurate with my predictions. Sounds like everything is going pear shaped both on and off the pitch out on the plains, watch this space...

watch this space?? if you know something - please share.

ZG to coach next year 

no bloody way

You had enough Wrighty? 

Hearing Brookside & the rest of the Mosgiel lads (apart from ZG) didn't bother turning up to the aftermatch on Saturday?

Far too obvious bringing keyboards into the Tech clubrooms, don't blame them

Did something happen in the game? Thats a big call from the Mogiel players. What happened ZG? I've heard that Mosgiel has had to hire Judda Flaws full time to go through and delete a majority of their Facebook and Yellowfever posts from the previous two rounds 

Certainly on point with the pear shaped Saturday afternoons but anything more than that is a crock.

As for the Tech club rooms lacking a bit of Mosgiel banter, it's not the greatest look and I'm not sure why most of the lads decided against it.

Batty

Jesse,Tk,Joy,Curwan

Ryder,Fanchini,Ridden,Brooke

Jackson,McClellan 

mine would be.........

Green 

Wright Joy tk Cotter/ Gi kid reid

Eder Day

Stewart 

Brook T.Jackson L.Jackson

I would put out this XI

Batty

Connor, Joy, Fitzpatrick, Curwen

Ryder, Franchini, Attwood, Brook

Jackson, McClellan

And subs would be Dykstra, Ferguson, Ridden, Koire, Coldicott

There would be at least 5 better centre mids than Attwood and Connor hasn't played right back since the SU season
