Youngheart

So far in:

I heard today from someone up at Bay Olympic that Prince is has a welding apprenticeship and is playing at Hawkes Bay this year.

Matt Adams and Dom Rowe - not bad signings

Cooksley

rowe and adams in..... benji out unfortunately.

how come the yhm website is never uploaded?

fellow YHM supporters

you may remember the only banner that was up "can we get a ride to the final" at the semi final against auckland

and all of the chanting guys behind it!

this year we'll be back as the green army, and we're hoping to have a few more than 5 people or so with us too. So anyones welcome to join us.

p.s did anyone here go on the team bus up to hawkes bay last year where we won 4-3? bloody brilliant day

aparently we're after sam messam

Hey there WillyB how can I join this GREEN ARMY and make some noise

if you have bebo go to www.bebo.com/youngheartmanawatu

if not we'll see you at the game on november the 4th! we will have a big GREEN ARMY banner and hopefully we'll be noticable!

going to sign 2 more uruguayans i think. and we are looking at James Pamment as a keeper? beat hawkes bay 4-3 on saturday. good win!

more crap uraguayans? who scored the goals against hawkesbay?

hat trick to adam cowan believe it or not. and dom rowe got one. dont speak ill of gustavo quite yet. this is year is his year!

Hey you never know it could be Diego Forlan and Alvaro Recoba 

the two new guys havent played professionally. and god help us all if its forlan.

so we have dragged in 2 noones... we surely have good enough players around new zealand?

Auckland have snapped up everyone in NZ whos kicked a football it would seem so perhaps overseas is the best place to look...

Did anyone here see Waitakere's 6-0 thrashing of Manawatu in Taupo? Could they post some details if they did.

bit gutted about that result but it means bugger all [i hope]

The media quotes Shane Rufer as saying Manawatu was hammered and needs 8 new players if it is to compete in the league. How does that square with the views held here?

the only thing hes really worried about is goalie as he cant seem to het hold of a decent one...

he talks about getting Osea Vakatalesau and Peni Finau from Fiji, two uruguayans and a ghanaian. (5 in total) Stray Cat2007-10-16 11:17:07

[QUOTE=Multilyith] They havent signed Richard Gray yet. Hopefully Youngheart sign him....Hes a star in the making.

Gray, stop posting comments about yourself.

i think the ghanian is some waitak bloke whos been playing for long enough to not be an overseas player. That made little sense I know... but I think we're sweet.

sure it was a hammering, but we were without vakatalesau, finau, maemae, sale, gustavo, or any of those ones mentioned above. not to mention the lack of keeper. hopefully Pamment will sign. thats 8-10 first choice players who didnt play (as far as I know).
surely you cant say that this performance will reflect anything that were going to see from YHM this season?
theyve proved many of us wrong by being in the top 3 or 4 in the league and theyll keep that up or improve on it this year.

Not to mention that over the last 2 seasons, if that blimmin goal v auckland (which WAS over the line) in 2005 had counted, and that court case thing had been resolved properly last year, we would have won the league over the past two years.
YHM have lost only the devil (Totori) and Imray this year and anyone thinking they'll be near the bottom is dreaming. YHM to win.

Prince Quansah, he's played age group for NZ so he's only barely Ghanaian... he's also, um how shall I put this...ahhh... not that good.

VERY fast, but that is about it.

where does he play? it sounded like he played well against hawkes bay, but as we let in 3 goals, anyone who wasnt Rowe or Cowan has something to answer for.

Agreed

I have an acquaintance who coached/coaches at a reasonable level in Auckland who used to play a game when he watched Prince play.  You had to drink when one of his blistering runs ended in a successful cross or pass.  Reckons you got one drink a match.

I recall seeing him when he was 12 at an aged group tournament. Could run past all the players because he was that good. unfortunately he didn't get better and then met Fallon and that was the end. Fallon taught him more about the dirty cheating tactics than actually playing the game and its very obvious now when he on the park.

Prince stood out as a youth not because of any superior ability, in my opinion, but because of his advanced physical development. As a teenager, when other kids were going through that coltish phase, he was built like Precious Mckenzie. it was almost as if, er, somebody had got the date wrong on his birth certificate. Incidentally, Ghana has a proud record at youth level. But not once players mature.

well put bruce, i remember watching prince play years ago when he was at college playing in the mens grade in auckland and he was a good player no doubt, but  i think he has gone down hill a lot and is pretty average these days. i hope he has a good year

does youngheart play wellington tomorrow?

Really liked the look of Finau in the Fiji V NZ match.  He looked strong fast and skillfull.  Could be one of the best defenders in the league this year. 

Had a look on the Central soccer webste at the Manawatu transfers.  The have signed a player from Cerro in Urugury (2nd division) and a player from King Fiaiaal in Ghana (top league) Not bad leagues to be getting their even fringe players from. Look foward to seeing them play.

yeah yhm play wellington at FMG tonight. havent seen Finau or Vakatalesau yet, hoping to catch some of the Fiji game but apparently they both looked good. We picked up 2 new uruguayans, Pablo Yackson and Gonzalo Nieres. And resigned Gustavo. Yackson played uder 20s for Uruguay. Sounds really good

The TAB odds must be out soon??? Wonder what the TAB thinks?

hmm I reckon Auckland would have the best odds as per usual, wouldnt they?

You would have to say the TAb will do that, I would put waitakere on shorter Odds tho. With Totori and all.
