Southern Football (incl Southern United)

Knowledge, do you have a stutter problem, that takle was learnt in the mighty Canterbury Leagues. That's where hard men play

Talk it up, we need more mongrel men like him to stand up & not roll over like girls

There's a difference between mongrel and complete fuckin brain dead idiot. What sigmund did wasn't tough or mongrel it was cowardly . Anyone can jump on some guys legs while he's lying down not moving. 

Goalkeepers: Tom batty , Liam little 

Defenders: Matt joy, Pete overmire , Chris Fernando, jesse right , Liam Lockhart , Jude Fitzpatrick , Ross Howard 

Midfielders: George Milne (captain), Sam mepham , aajay Cunningham , mike sannum, cam attwood, Seamus Ryder , Tim McLennan 

Strikers: ant Hancock ( Vc) , Peter Rae , Fraser Cameron , reagan coldecott,  Alastair rickerby 

..... This is just IMO . What's evry body else's squads

And I forgot To say well done tech on a well deserved title for 2013 lets hold it now a boys!

Mex-factor like reading your posts

interesting line up Ooo Ooo  Ooo but i think thye should consider Joy as captain, did a good job with tech

Fair calls there KETCOBAFC. Before people start naming teams it is probably a good idea to have knowledge of who is playing and who isn't for Southern United. Now the SPL is over maybe a review of the team performances is in order. People were pretty keen to offer predictions early doors and make comment during the season. Can the season now be reviewed objectively as a lead in to the fanchise based Southern United 2013/14 campaign. Any takers? And where is Craig Doble?

Players who should be trialing for Southern United:

Grants Braes - Patrick Ebanda
Northern - Campbell Higgins
University - Peter Overmire
Mosgiel - Regan Coldicott, Morgan Day
Green Island - Dan Rutter, Taylor McCormack
Roslyn - Geordie Mansford, Mike Sannum, Cam Attwood, Sam Mepham, Aajay Cunningham, Tom Connor
Tech - Tom Batty, Matt Joy, George Milne, Victor da Costa, Ross Howard, Tim Mclennan, Alistair Rickerby
Cavesham - Liam Little, Craig Ferguson, Andrew Ridden, Seamus Ryder, Ant Hancock, Jude Fitzpatrick, Tom Jackson

Players from this list I would cut:

Cambell Higgins
Dan Rutter
Mike Sannum
Alistair Rickerby

Just shows you this would be an ideal list of the best local football players that are in the Southern Region but they still would not be close to strong enough to take on other National League sides at this stage. Luiz if you are reading this, please O' please bring some other talent from somewhere else in. Or it is going to be the same old story every year down here - last or second last and looking at National League squads to date I would happily say last. Luiz what is Neymar and Kaka doing this summer?

Rutter would make a good CB

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

Connor----------------Joy--------------Overmire----------Mansford

--------------------Mepham--------------Day---------------------------

Ryder------------------------Da Costa----------------------Coldicott

--------------------------------Jackson-----------------------------------

Plenty of National League experience which is going to be needed.

From all accounts Doble has gone back to Perth and Malcolm's coming back to take over what Craig was doing here with burnley.

Bit of a shame really , very talented coach with alot of good qualifications gone.

Sheet hombres.  My left ween-jer reely has flown thee coop.  An ee owed mee three pesos took.

Football: Burnley acts to replace absent coach

Well one wonders if Mr Doble is still the new Mosgiel Coach next season????

we won't let him passed the border..he's gone for good

Quite simply no, however there are whispers flying around the Taieri Plains that another coach is close to signing on the dotted line for next season. With Doble all but confirmed as the new "Plainmans" coach for 2014,  Mosgiel have had to act quickly & go for their "second" option in light of the Hobbit's velocious departure.

Mosgiel wanted a coach with no previous connections to the club & have opted to go for former Otago United Coach Richard Murray, who lives just around the road from the Gordon Road outfit. Murray who had the winter off this season - ( although i only found out last week that he actually wasn't the Caversham coach, for reason i thought it was him?) has found the perfect job to reestablish his career as a top coach after an unprosperous Otago reign. 

Thanks to all including the ODT who responded to my Doble question. Good to have cleared up his whereabouts. He was also never that close to being confirmed as Mosgiel coach as he was asking way too much. Hence the club had been asking several possible coaching candidates regarding availability. Certainly do enjoy the posts of Daily Mail but even the SHOULD TRIAL list includes plenty of players who aren't playing. Also the only trial for Southern United is a youth trial tomorrow. Maybe the jaunt to Southland will serve as a window for the coaching staff to check out a few perspective players. At this stage of the pre-season the samba drums are beating loudly. I am sure the genius (quote wikipedia) has it all sorted.

Can someone give me the insight on the coaching style of Luiz Uehara? From what I've heard he's all out attack - Joga Bonito

Heard today that Mike Fridge has retired as Tech coach, well done Mike on the job you did with Tech, you finished on top awesome result.

All the best for your future.

Football fan

Can anyone confirm if Colin Thom also pulled up stumps? Could mean new coaches at about 4-5 clubs. 

I would go for Andrew Brookside for Mosgiel 

Andy Duncan at Roslyn

Richard Murray at University

Malcolm will be back at GI

Tony Martin will probably be at Tech you would think

Club                   Coach                 Asst Coach

Dunedin Tech.    Burgess.             Smith

Caversham.        Fleming.              Horner

Roslyn.               Thom.                  Fridge

Green Island.     Fleming                Rory

University.         Martin.                 Duncan

Northern.         Murray                   

Mosgiel            Murray                 Boylan

Queenstown.   Henderson

Old Boys.         ??????                ??????

Why would Mike Fridge stand down and then go to Roslyn?... You have no clue! 

i reckon Tony Martin would be my first choice for Tech, otherwise Burgess & Smith 

I'm unsure! Burgie has just had another child so not sure if he will want to coach...be interesting next year for sure!! Mikes done a phenomenal job at tech! He will be missed!! Leaving on a high though! Tech were brilliant this season! Only lost 1 game and were unbeaten since the 4th round! Mikes boys should be proud!  

Who the hell beat tech ?

Here come the men in black.

Southern Utd FC 2013/2014 Squad

No Matt Joy, Liam Little or Seamus Ryder? Couple of very interesting faces in there...

Any news on the meeting last night?

No Joy, Little, Ryder, Da Costa, Hancock, Jackson, Rickerby, Connor, Overmire??

This is going to be bad
