Youngheart

exactly! this weekend is a good chance to avenge a certain embarrassing defeat last season...no...humliating. degrading. 

I've just read that Jason Hayne could be out injured and Adam Cowan has work committments

Yea that sucks about haynes...Mind you, I went to the wellington game last week and they didnt look that good...there defence was average...we better watch those latinos tho.

Can anyone shed some light on our team formation this season? Particularly who is playing in defence. Am I correct in thinking it's a back four with Yackson and Weissenfeldt as the CDs? If so, who are the fullbacks?

Full page ad in todays Standard with this seasons draw. Will be interesting to see what crowd we get as even though its free, a lot of people will be busy on a Saturday afternoon. Especially if its a nice day.

A solid performance from YHM. Some way to erasing last season's capitulation. A strong start but then it all got a bit scrappy. Two good first half goals, particularly the 2nd - great pass, great dumby, great run by Cowan and a great finish! Looked far more up for it than TW. Still plenty to work on but then that's to be expected at this early stage. A good team performance with everyone contributing in some form. Seem to have addressed my concerns from last season. Solid and organised at the back (which may compensate for a lack of pace?). Closed down quickly in midfield (something TW exploited ruthlessly last season). Used width (Hallelujah!!!!!!!) Mobile and quick up front.

wooohoo!!! Thats what i'm talking bout. gutted I couldn't make it due to work but I'm just stoked about that result. Raf De Gregorio is about 30 I think btw. 

 Pleased for you  guys and rapt you jumped all over the Hawkes Bay ex pats...Enjoy  cause we shall wipe the smile of your faces in 2 weeks time.

Damn, looks suspiciously like im not gunna see a YH game till January!

Me and Willy are thinking an away trip to Hawkes Bay next February... When we went a few seasons ago they let us catch the bus with the team, does anyone know if we could do that again?

Brilliant game though Wellington got right back into it in the 2nd half. Would have been interesting to see how they would have gone with 11 men.

Should be a good challenge for the lads at Sunnyvale. No Park Sung-Bae which is a shame as he looks to be the ideal foil for Gonzo (In much the same way as Hayden Laird and Totori complemented each other a couple of seasons ago). He's already shown more than poor old Osea did in a whole season! 3-1 Manawatu!!

I finally changed my av! to the korean hero 

Otago 2 YoungHeart 3!! 

Hahaha yes what min did the goals come in? i left home for the nix game when it was 1-0 needing youungheart to win for a multi...jumped on my phone and it was 2-3. I was more excited then I was about the nix!

Its good to hear Hayne scoring more and more. Is he playing up front or in a wide position?

He's playing wide on the right. Chettleburgh is on the other wing.

Realistically we should get a win this weekend. However, the HB players won't want to endure a bus ride back to the Bay with Gouldie if they play as badly as they did against TWelly. Good to see Park back from injury, I'll be interested to see how our defence goes. I thought they played pretty well against Wellington but only time will tell.

 Where do the teams go for a beer after the game?  And more so you ZIZOU?

HB UNITED...will win.

Gutted. Anyone but Hawkes Bay.

awww suck it in! what have you got against hawkes bay?? great win for the lads today! great goal for the lads in the last seconds! GET IN!!!!!! Boo hoo Youngheart

absolutely...dont forget to whine about the opposition having  things you dont...

it will come, dont worry

sorry was actually referring to HB!

Oh really? Great! Well im not in a whining mood after just winning, so nothing from me i'm afraid

We didn't cope well with HBs stifling tactics last weekend. Expect a similar approach from Waikato. We really need to maximise the points from these games if we are going to seriously challenge the Jafas. Holloway out will make it difficult for Waikato.

'MON THE 'TU!!!!!!!

Progress score in today's Waikato - YoungHeart Manawatu game

57' Waikato FC 2-0 YoungHeart Manawatu 2' Hogg 1-0
51' Hogg 2-0

Oh Jeez - forget what I have said before about swearing! F*#@!!!

So You Think You Can Chant?!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's your chance to impress us with your creativity. zizoustainrod2008-12-15 20:41:46

No offence to you personally Zizou but 'mon the tu' hardly strikes of intelligence or creativity - more the grunting of a front row forward or for the intellectually challenged uni student from Massey, a salute to the local beer spelt wrong (TUi)

Or a Scotsman saying come on you two....
