Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 2)

wrongin you appear to have some discourse with Green - care to elaborate, or your distaste for Mosgiel - your posts seem to have a recurring theme.

Nothing personal, i just think there are better keepers around.

As for Mosgiel, i think it's a pretty decent club with good people, just a few wrongins in their first team

Posting clips of him conceding goals is 'nothing personal' based on there being better goalkeepers around. Is ZG one of the wrongins in the team? As far as I can see he doesn't hide and he's done well for them this season. So which goalkeeper are you?

You clearly have a personal agenda or interest.

I think he's a great guy and a quality keeper with plenty of experience and leadership. The Mosgiel club is more welcoming than many of the other clubs in this city and will only get better with leadership and experienced youth. Though I hear that other coaches may be interested in the coaching role and ZG according to this forum is off to Caversham..?

Kiore and Fong have about 15 goals in 40 games. I don't see how this should get you a chance 

Mosgiel just wasn't the right inviroment for him in my opinion  

Those clips are just to illustrate that he's not National League standard, if i saw Josh doing the same i'd post his howlers

Having seen him here in Auckland, he is not national league quality and if you guys are picking him, well.... there can't be much in the way of goalkeepers down there. 

He is not a bad keeper, so I'm not saying he is bad or rubbish or anything like that, just that the level he is at is about right and the next level (ASBP) is a step too far for his talent level.

Football is all about opinions montoya & in this case Vader's & mine are the correct ones

any other thoughts on the other lads I picked?

I think R.Mark is a great talent and could look way sharper with a quality players around him

Book has great talent and could do well in National league. Great set piece on him

Who is R Mark? What position does he play? 

Rupert Mark plays up top or wide. Watched him play a couple of games for Roslyn at the start of the season and he has great feet and a silky touch.

Have you been drinking again Jaffa? 

just a couple! what about collier and Hogan? these two were good cavy this year!

Two of the better young players in the league. Brook could get a look in 

Lets get a few things right - because this is getting a bit stupid now.

1. Mosgiel - still a Mosgiel player and put everything into that club with coaching, playing and being asked to captain the side in my first few weeks in Dunedin. Those who question my loyalty may want to be one of the 6 people who regularly turn up to training. Played every minute of the league and attended every training including pre-season. What more can I do? I attended an after-match speech by myself ffs.

2. Southern United - if I get a shot then I will train as hard as I can - that's all I want. Had a conversation with the coach when I was moving down and that conversation was continued - there was no begging. Came through my old club.

3. Caversham - ??

3. Hit me up on facebook or email if you have something you want to say- I'm pretty approachable. I don't appreciate all the negativity to be honest and don't need it - friends and family read this shark and I find it embarrassing. I know fudge all about the people down here or the football and this year was very unsettled. I think the coming season will be better as I can focus on the football more and not adult life so much. Until someone tells me my body is broke I will keep playing and pushing myself to play as high as I can while I can- otherwise why bother?

It's easy to point out the faults in people (or highlight them with a video link) but I personally don't want to be that guy. Goalkeeping is tough enough anyway without making enemies.

**Fong is a quality player in my opinion - good finishing and quality strikes. The service provided to him was poor and his team defended 90% of their games and probably the reason behind the low return of goals. Cotter is pure quality and I rate him highly. Dijkstra is a good shot stopper and Whittaker I haven't seen much of. Interestingly there was a shortage of keepers at the start of the season - I thought Whittaker may have joined another club to get first team experience.

Best post in months. Agree that Whittaker made a mistake,needs to move club or does he want to be Dunedins Steve Harper? Waste of talent at this stage 

I like the selection of the National Youth team, well done Kevin and Richard

Agree about Wrightwebb being an athlete but is that such a bad thing to have in the squad? If I remember correctly he scored a goal against Waitakere when Luis was the coach and they went on to win that game. Kiore will start for the youth team but his pace could be handy. Why wouldn't Baringer being in that CI team mean anything? Congrats to the kid for getting there. I think he could go well in NL. Not many CB's in the league putting there hand up this year to make it. Would struggle to get time with Joy and Prattley there. I must say im a huge fan of Cotter boy was he good for mosgiel this year! Would love to see him get a shot!

How were the youth trials today? 

They should have plenty of defenders that will be up to standard 

tyrrell can play RB cant he? maybe cover in that position. would you rather have tyrrell or david hayman?

They can name squads of up to 23 players? There will be plenty of cover in all positions I would think 

Tyrrell has to be in the mix. He'll make mistakes but so will most defenders for Southern this season or any other season. If you back him, he'll give his all for the team. Not only that but a natural leader and I certainly bet that the time he had away playing for C.I. could definitely show

key words.... "last year". Also if that's true that's a fudgeing load of shark, no one should be dropped from captain for being "to cocky", you want your captain to have some level of  confidence and to believe in themselves, that's all cockiness really is.

Won't matter cos the word is that Fridge is playing a back three of Jude, Matt and Ferg with Tom and Tristan as wing backs.

Save your energy for more important posts.

I can assure you this won't happen

Pretty solid

More important?  It's a forum for....banter, Banta. What's your point?  You know I think my source is a bit iffy at times, and his suggestion seemed a bit left field because I'm not sure Fridge even knows what a back three or wing-backs are about.  He learned his coaching back in the day when the scots were still playing 2-3-5.

Ah hold on...there's a new CB on the block.  Southern could do a lot worse.

We don't want shark banta though

Oh shark Banta - that's right I forgot you are the sole judge of everything and all.  Tell you what?  Why don't we just call you the king of the waankers instead?

Ohones- Your banters as good as Brookside's star studded invitational team yesterday, terrible  

You are most likely correct - but at least you afford the common courtesy of comparing rubbish with rubbish (glad you liked the photo by the way).  But Banta?  He's just like shark this and shark that - no reasons, source, nothing given whatsoever as how he knows Fridge won't play a back three.

Fridge wont play a back three. Suicide 

Yeah but it's a back 5 - given the number of goals they concede it didn't sound unreasonable.
