No Howard either. Officially 2 players from Tech and nil from Cavy. The 2 top teams by far and away in the FPL (a defence that conceded 32 goals in 36 games between them) and SU can not even fit Jude or Ross into the mix? Hopefully whoever is at the back hasn't been involved in the car wreck that is the rest of the leagues defence.

I was feeling like a bit of a laugh and came on here to get one  - there's usually some funny shit goes down.  And boy am I laughing now.  No Fitz?  I saw him in a trial game the other week and he destroyed everything that moved and was a complete animal on attack at set piece time as well.  Luis has gone down considerably in my estimates - he's lost his brain  And young Howard is a fantastic talent too. I'm very angry he doesn't get a chance to see if he can step up.  Is there a fitter and faster player than him?  Well apart from Fitz that is - I forgot to mention that.  Both those lads train like pros.  I hope they both kick on and play at a higher level in spite of this bs.  Both lads are terrific talents and I feel so sorry for them.

wake up Luis, this is not the premier league, it is the national league, i agree Doogal  fitz and howard should be in the mix, whats with the inclusion of 5 uni players, most of the uni team wouldn't have made the starting line up of either tech or cavy....i'm one confused supporter.

Don't confuse New Zealand with Brasil it won't work.

Tom Batty; Jeferson Potrich ( Brazil)
David Hayman,  Mat Joy,  Peter Overmire, Campbell Attwood.
David Low ( Singapore), Nicki Hindson, Patrick Ebanda (Kiev), 
Henry Flood,  Morgan Day, Sam Mepham,  Aajay Cunningham,
Andrew Ridden. Regan Coldicott,  Taylor McCormack, 
Geordie Mansford, Peter Rae, Daniel Morris, 
Henrique Alves Viana , Brazil

Squad that is updated on the soccerotago website

Amazing decision from Coach Luiz not to include Jude Fitzpatrick and Ross Howard from the squad they would have added a talent pool to select from. Ross Howard is a much better right back than David Hayman who I was informed started over him at Dunedin Technical this season and Jude Fitzpatrick is the obvious second choice center back...Luiz has a plan in saying this and we must stick by him IMHO

Team to face Waitakere first game?

----------------------------------------------------------Batty-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-------Attwood----------------Joy---------------------------Overmire (should be Jude IMHO)--------Honestly do not know?

----------Low?--------------------------Mepham-------------------Ebanda----------------------------Coldicott----------

------------------------------------------------Morris-----------------------Henrique-------------------------------------------

Obviously all go at Southern United. Also interesting that it has been several weeks since the Football South prizegiving yet nothing to be seen regarding winners and who received the prizes on the Football South website. Maybe I have missed it. Looking foward to S.U v Canterbury in a few weeks as a pre-season jaunt. Is that game confirmed? Anyone know?

You need to look a bit harder for awards is there have seen list.
Yes according to Martin from Canterbury United set for Saturday 2nd November 2pm kick off in Timaru.
I'd like to know how only a couple of players from DT and Cavy made the squad, these being the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the SI.
Seems as though your coach or bus has stalled big time.
Having what is it 5 players from Varsity would be like Canterbury United having 5 Halswell players in the squad, sorry Halswell I could pick 5 players from Halswell MPL team that would be way better than ANY Otago Varsity player.
Remind me what position did Varsity finish in the SPL with all this fantastic ASB Prem level footballing talent?
Looking forward to getting down with the Dragons see if you can walk let alone play the way your talking.
Who wrote the BS on the SU web site about how good you all are and Brazilians as well.Samba style. yeah right.
Last note is well done Team Big Guy.

The fella that played for Keiv played for Braes this year and was just a nutcase, surely any player that has been a pro should be playing for Cavy/tech and not a shit team like Braes

He was just helping his mate joh out , from what I've heard Malcom has already got a hold of him and will be replacing club stalwart Dan Rutter in the middle for GI as he wants to have a break to pursue his cross fit career

Cheers Scottie Road for the heads up. Actually saw it on Rab Smiths website a while back but the point is that it was a Football South awards function that should have been easily celebrated on its own website. The fact you have to hunt for isn't ideal. Great that the game versus Canterbury is on and your points about selection are fair and valid. People that know football down here are well aware of that. Unfortunately they aren't involved in Southern United. After the team was announced one of the samba drummers was seen leaving town.

Rumours stirring in the camp that Cunningham juniors drinking problem is already gettting him in hot water with the coach. Confimred sightings of him at McDonalds earlier today also. Is this what we want our players fueling themselves with? I don't think so.

You mean to stir up why? Let's not give half a tale give the full version.
What's wrong with a Latte and Muffin on the way home from work at 6 am on a Sunday? 
Didn't Luiz spell out to all players in his one and one meetings last week what was expected on the commitment front?
Turning up at trainings not just once a week etc.
Maybe that part was only stated to the Bench Warmers.
If he forgot to give them all full details which should've been made clear before picking the team how will he cope when the going gets tough?
Any of the players signed the contact yet?

I tried to call Aajay to get his opinion on your questions but unfortunatley he's once again fallen victim to one of his famed sunday sessions and was harder to understand then Craig Ferguson after a couple of whiskeys and a few $500 spins on red

So the Squad list has been sent to Auckland (had to be on Friday) & the players have their contracts but not all of them have signed. What happens if some decide to pull out of the squad? the only option is to promote youth players as they wouldn't be able to sign anyone till halfway through the season... 

Why is Attwood & Ridden included in the senior squad, when they're both young enough to play youth league? surely you would sign up older players but still have the ability to use Attwood & Ridden? hmmmm Howard & Fitzpatrick would've been good signings perhaps

Look at the state of this lad, i thought they were doing double sessions to get fit, more like down the boozer downing pints of Guinness & scoffing pork scratchings & crisps

I find it funny how you are trying to point out Mr Morris is not fit but yet he still has more basic skill than the rest of them. Would start in my team any day of the week.

You get your youth players to fill the gap. 
So are you sure that the named players have had a contract handed to them yet? I didn't say they had been handed them or not as of last Friday.
Maybe you could ask the Tech boys in the squad. You could ask more than that but will leave that to you. Rumour has post 6764 as being on the money. Reports from training games anyone?
I know that your DT keeper didn't play that well in the SPL season.

King Edward u tech dog so what Morris may be a little unfit ?? I'll tell u this from what I've seen he has the best touch in the team and probably the best strike. Exactly what we need ! An out n out striker to hold the ball up and feed our speedsters mcormack and reggy!

He will score goals ! How about we get up the lads instead of slagging them off!!!!!!

Hopefully he can get rid of that sloppy motor before the season starts eh
I do want Southern to do well, just feel the coach has made some bizarre decisions re players & have never seen anything from his University teams to suggest he is tactically astute

Im sure the Fleming brothers still have a great first touch and killer strike but it doesn't mean they will be able to play national league in the middle of summer

Odds of the big boy scoring more than 2 goals at the TAB?About the same as SU winning the league id say.Hard to score goals when you're getting dragged after 60
