Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)

No im not Whitie because i know just as well as you do that you are playing a 2nd team today...There's not much i do not no

tech will need their big guns to beat braes from account of how woeful they have been so far preseason, no chance of tech finishing in the top two this year

as per every other year... hy dont u play fletcher cup deli if ur not already, tech might actually have a show of winning that

Horsie i wish you knew who i was because i have laughed you off the field many a time

go on deli give us a hint? 1 all good result

Hot of the press. Ross "im too big for the SPL" Mckenzie i unhappy with the way that tech is running its 1st team and a possible transfer to Varsity could be on the cards. Updtaed news as it happens

Any thoughts on the weekends results - I felt Caversham should have won regardless of defaulting as with no-one turning up they were still the better team man-for-man. I liked the way Rab has angled his report also, implying Caversham didn't turn up at all after losing 3-1 to GI ha ha - nice one Rab, more incorrect reporting by you Sir.

Rab Smith just informed me that the player of the year lottery has been made & i've won!

Giddy up you suckers!

You were probably due Tommy considering you have put in a few years at Roslyn now - congratulations. Great profile pic by the way - did you have that done professionally?

Thought Rab's article was fantastic - what journalism.

waiting...no

I think Roslyn are more than happy that Caversham defaulted the game, because that way they get silverware which they would not of got if caversham did turn up. Where as Caversham have bigger fish to fry, the last thing they need is 2 games in one day in the run up to the opening round of the season. CHOO CHOO!!!!!

Mr Soccer, thoughts?

Any news on potential new WAG's or FAF's (friends & family) of SPL players this season?

See Caversham have the first round bye this season, surely thats a conspiracy horsie?

Well put Mike, you seem to read the game from Cavershams perspective. Maybe you should look at implementing such wise council over at Tech? Certainly Roslyn aren't counting the pre-season cup as actual silverware? What a joke - it isn't worth spit (a bit like the trophy they won last year).

Hah yea hughie still hasn't got the smile off his face from the Otago cup or what eva it was called they won last year,maybe it was brando's performance in that game that won him the OPOTY? o thats right it was played by to Fletcher cup teams an Mike "Im made of Glass" Eisenhut well done Roslyn!

Its only fair since Tech had the bye last year after nearly there whole team had played a season of national league and same this year fr the Red Machine cho cho

Any chance Mrs Soccer's misses will be around the club again 24/7 like last year..?I hope so great entertainment value well done Rossie

Right what are the picks for the weekend?

Tech 8v0 Young fellas (Burgess grabbing 7 - he will have another stunning season this year along side 'noise' - They will be fighting of for golden boot together!  Mr Soccer at the back will clean up any danger all day like he did for the bay and in pre season)
Uni 2v1 Onions (Only if Liam McKinley is available - he is up there with Mr. Soccer in terms of defensive awareness... He is the Gary Docherty of the SPL)
Scum1v1Queenstown (Sam Jasper to snake a late equalizer.  Jasper will run the show this year for Q-town like he did last year in Dunedin)
Braes 2v1 Mollywood (Upset of the round with Ben Eder grabbing a brace.  Watched Braes in pre season and are looking like a good side.  Got a great result against tech and were all over Northern.
Northern 0v1 Southland  (Havent seen Southland play but must be better than Northern)

TAB odds would be as follows

Tech $1.04      Young Fellas $15             Draw:  $6.00
Uni $1.60        Onions $2.45                   Draw:  $2.70
Scum $1.50     Queenstown $3.20         Draw:  $2.50
Braes $2.00    Mollywood $1.50             Draw:  $2.70
Northern $2.50  Southland $1.70          Draw:  $2.90

To win the League:

Caversham:  $1.90
Tech:            $2.10
Roslyn:         $3.00
Uni:               $50.00
Queenstown:$75.00
Mosgiel:        $100.00
Onions:         $150.00
Southland:    $200.00
Braes:           $10,000
Youth:          $50,000

Think I'll go for a multi on M-I-K-E's mob, scum, mollywood, and the barry gardiner (player-coach) led XI. uni and the island to draw

I see on Mr Munro's site that Southland are being coached by the "my left foot", they also have another import, looks very similiar to the coach. Dino102009-04-01 11:59:31

How the f@#k can you justify the mighty Roslyn being below Tech, I'll just remind you Feedback that Roslyn are the current Pre season champs (beat tech 3-1), we finished 2nd in the league (above tech), made the south island final & have POTY winners in Boylan - 06, Brand - 08 & myself - 09

As Thingee was quoted "keep wiggling those fingers"

Dino102009-04-01 12:30:03

Im not very wise sorry Dinobut here is who will win the weekends games..

Tech,mosgiel,spirit,roslyn,Draw

Caversham will win the league in a canter

Can't see anyone getting near Caversham this season, both Tech & Roslyn haven't improved their squads from last season. 

Steve is still the boss ably assisted by Andy, with Neil cleaning up behind them.

Great news with Steve, not sure what Birchys cleaning up but good work mate

roslyn 7 qtown 0, tech 1 young boys 1

tech got the old grant braes keeper? hes not bad

typical roslyn left out of the programme, written off again... 

Typical Roslyn - couldn't organise a p***s up in a brewery. They were asked like all clubs to provide but couldn't manage it!

Tech to come out fireing with matty bruin
