Southern Football (incl Southern United)

Serious Question:

Are Cavvy playing any pre season games this week or in the weekend, if so where and when..?

Also need to have a look at Grants Braes if at all possible before the start of the season..

Thanks

Because seeing is believing.  Look at them and be amazed.

Not my 1st choice in watching football but do need a report of strengths and weakness..

Have committed providing some assistance to New Boys.. 

So serious talk whos favourite for the title this year??? whats every ones predictions 1st to last?

Cavvy to win it??

Roslyn

Cavvy

GI

Tech 

Mogiel 

Queenstown

Uni

Old Boys

Northern

Braes.

Will be interesting game on saturday see how GI are under there new coach

More interesting too see how average gi really are since they have got everyone's hopes so high..

Wrighty could struggle playing in front of more than than 10 people, biggest game of his life!

Under 20's are on their way to Turkey which starts in June, if selected Joel won't be playing many games for the swamp rats this season

it will be a interesting spl season have watched some pre season games, nothing to ride home about, not even tech

Have you not heard? Tech won't be doing much this season mate, lost their two best players.

Young Kirkwoods birthday today, another year on his back watch out Northern, we will see a hat trick from him. Happy Birthday Jak.

If he starts ^^

Happy birthday Jack Kirkwood :)

Town tonight Wrighty?

1. Green Island - Too tough to stop, could go unbeaten

2. Cavvy - always on the mark, will run G.I close.

3. Roslyn - Too much chat about this being their year. perrenial underachievers.

4.Tech - will win games but won't know what to do in tough games with no Burgy

5. Northern - Looking much improved and a proper coach this year...

6. University - Could prove tough on their day but no consistancy

7. Mosgiel - Overated for years, finally heading in the wrong direction. 

8. Queenstown - No composure = no quality

9. Old Boys' - Unknown but crap

10. Braes - 18 games, 0 wins, 1 draw, 17 losses

Golden Boot: James Govan

Young Player: Lewis Jackson

Player of the Year: Dan Rutter

Biggest win: Cavvy 12-1 v Queenstown

Biggest upset: Old Boys' 3-0 v Mosgiel

Chatham Cup Best: Roslyn (Quater-Final).

Onion boy, Fiona has got you excited, seems your dick is rulling your head.. 

I dont think GI has a realistic chance of a top 3 finish,

No Joel, Scott the Aussie and there is a rumour that Cody hasnt turned up to training. Havent heard of any improvements in the backline or midfield...

Predictions for this weekend 3-1 against a poor Northern..

It's that time again.

Few odds for the season.

To win: Roslyn @ $2.20, Cavvy @ $3.50, Tech @ $6.00, GI @ $15.00.

Wooden Spoon: Braes @ $1.55, Old Boys @ 2.10, Northern @ $4.00, Mosgiel @ $20.00

Golden Boot: Govan @ 3.50, Tommy-up-top @ $10.00, McCormick @ $12.00, Evan Jones @ $15.00

First Managerial Casualty: Laidler @ $3.00, Fridge @ $6.00

More odds on request...

Alright here's my predictions for the first round games:

Northern 1 Green Island 5

University 4 Queenstown 2

Roslyn 7 Mosgiel 0

Grants Braes 1 Tech 2

Caversham 4 Old Boys 1

Roslyn to be the same as 2000 to 2004!!

A few nice options for Saturdays game:

Total minutes played for Jesse Wright: Under 56.5 @ 1.87, Over 56.5 @ 1.87

To win both halves: Green Island @ 2.20, Northern @ 12.00

First Goalscorer: McCormick @ 2.50, Kirkwood @ 3.50, Rutter @ 5.00, Milne @ 6.50, Wright @ 12.00

A weekly goalscoring teaser for round 1: McCormick, Ryder & Foster all to score @ 8.50

This weekend I defs think G.I will dominate, if they have Joel and Taylor up top it will be hard to stop.

Regarding them winning the league, hard to tell. I think Roslyn might go into the same boat as..

LA Lakers, Highlanders, Roslyn.

Big names on paper, but will choke.

Chatham Cup Best: Roslyn (Quater-Final).

Thought GI would be the flag bearer for Otago, with all this chat

They are the first game of the SPL year though Roost, $10 that the G.I chat gets crowded by all the other team chat once it starts up next weekend.

Shit I hope northern get up against GI!! Will do these forum some good. Won't be hearing from green onion for a couple of weeks untill gi get some points on the board

First red card..player

2000-2002, they were the Grants Braes of the league

MIlne @ 6.50

should be 100

2000 8th out of 10

2001 8th out of 10

2002 last out of 9, but 4th round of the Chatham Cup (only Cavvy went further fromthe SPL)

A low point thats for sure, but still miles better than Braes (who weren't even in the Prenier League then)

They have only ever had 2 teams below them once since they reformed

In the cup they have never came close to the fourth round, in fact they have only beaten 1 SPL team.

So Roslyn at their lowest ebb achieved more in 3 years than Braes have since they reformed.

Pretty much the Braes of SPL in the early 2000's apart from one lucky cup run with the worst Roslyn team ever!

Fizzing for 4pm, hope GI put on a good show

why you always thinking about the past.? its a different team? 

Hopefully gi put on a good show this afternoon! Cant wait to see the t-mac in action against not the greatest back line in northern. Never know though 125 years might lift them to another level.
