Southern Football (incl Southern United)

Any news on Southern United signings 

Jackson looked very very poor in the Chatham cup quarter. How did his trial with the nix go?

Why was he so very bad horse?  Was he AWOL, or bad technically, or poor in his decisions, or unfit?  Perhaps he was injured?  Or it was bad nerves with people watching maybe? He has such good quality - nice technique, high intensity and good vision usually.  I don't get it.

Nat, having played against him a few years ago (2008 comes to mind), I rated him very highly. Quick, strong, smart angled runs, can finish and has some genuine skill. I talked him up to fellow spectators pregame  in the chatham cup quarter and he made me look a bit of an idiot ! ( more so of an idiot than usual that is).

His touch was as if he had cement on his boots, he didn't get into great positions, was ok in the air but the ball tended to skew off his head. Looked a bit lost to be honest. His long throw as always was immense however! It was a shame as he is clearly a guy with real quality. Also it was a real chance for him to leave an impression on the football powers that be in Wellington, and sadly he didn't deliver.

Southern United should look at  the Tech keeper over little

Tom Jackson would be a great addition to Southern United but what is the likelihood of him playing? Just what Southern United need, a strong, fast, clinical striker that will take his chances more often than not. Predicting a good season from Jude Fitzpatrick this year, been hearing he is currently playing some good football.

what has happened to Da Costa? 

Rumoured charity boxing event to happen early next year.....

Here are some must have match ups if it goes ahead :

Joh mpondo v mike mcgarry ( main event )

Craig Doble v jeremy Bryson 

Scott gannon v Tom Jackson

Regan Coldicott v Justin flaws 

Craig ferguson v Alastair rickerby

Callum flaws v Michael abbott

........ What a card that would be !

Yes $450 for turning up and another $450 if he wins

And yes that would be a another lip licking match up - wright by decision.

Good chat on this forum, It has provided me with a good hour of entertainment. Wish I had discovered it sooner.

Thought I'd add my 2 cents regarding the Southern United squad for the season based on the players in town at the moment (not sure if everyone is available).

Batty/Little

Connor - Joy - Fernando - Mansford

Mepham

Ryder - Cunningham

Jackson - Hancock - Coldicott

Will there be any high-profile casualties of the new regime?

cumnningham doesn't have what it takes at national level

so whose putting their name forward for southern united this year 

whats Prattley up to? if he's around...add Jackson, Da Costa & Batty to the mix

Are they any new emblem or homepage for Southern United?

Because the old homepage isn´t updated since May (Change of name?). 

Queenstown this week, think we might nudge double figures

Is Da Costa around? If so then he'd be a certain starter. Have the boys begun training at all? Would be good if they got a pre season together, as from what I understand, previously they have only had a few weeks together before the first game.

Will the likes of Rutter, Gunn & McCormick (GI), Dreyer & Higgins (Northern), Cameron & Watson (Roslyn), Lockhart, Milne & McLennan (Tech), Rae (Uni) get a look in for summer league, or atleast are they good enough?

Higgins ???? Is that some sort of sick joke , he's just an ok player in a shit team . Ya don't just have to pick out the best couple from each team just pick the best players and generally they will be all from Roslyn tech n cavvy . 

I  was not saying all of those guys should be in the team, but if some of them would be? bearing in mind that the were not really there last season except a couple of fleeting performances from McCormick.

If we wanna do any decent in the national league we are gana have to go off shore, we just don't have enough local talent to have a competitive squad . 

Picking massive wins for Cavy, Tech & Roslyn today

Coldicott to go bang bang bang today against the bumble bees! Hat-trick hero im calling it now !

wow some surprises today

wtf Roslyn? even though Mosgiel drew, that point will be enough to stay up

Really upset by the roslyn result. Need to beat the donkey sides to win leagues. What happened?

In the words of the great Meatloaf 2 out of 3 aren't bad, got Cavy & Tech but what happened to Roslyn, that's a real surprise to everybody. Anybody see the game and report 

We all know that he never turns up but will pass it on to him, that he must do better on Saturday . When is Daniel back

Pity to hear of another Referee getting called names in the weekend, we're a nice bunch of lads once you get to know us.

I bet you're Matt Joy's triplet. If you idiots especially the tit from Timaru knew the rules there would be no problemo.

btw, what was said?

I called someone a 'monkey'

I think some of the refs and linesmen in the league genuinely qualify for a disability benefit.
