Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)

has Hancock already relocated back to Timaru? i heard he was going to commute? cavvy only really need him for the big games

Hancock has many golden years still ahead of him, both for Otago Utd and Cavvy (or some other lucky club side) if he wants - does he even know how good he is?

like to see more of an end product at National League level before we start talking up Ant

Ant is quality,fact

draw? where's the bloody draw? two weeks till kickoff, common Peter lift your finger & push the button!

Heard  a rumour today that Ant is actually heading to Christchurch. Got offered a job there and will be apparantly playing for Christchurch United

Malc Fleming to hold urgent talks with Donnie next week after reported interest from Col from Roslyn

muppets

if Steve Fleming became available would Roslyn have him?

Any pre season results today.

University vs Caversham & Tech vs Roslyn first round, not sure about the rest

once we get our hands on Ferguson & Stevens, we will be unbeatable this season

Easy 3 points to get the Future Champions underway, Caversahm will struggle with Uni lads.

cavvy will beat varsity, roslyn tech draw

Would be good to get the full draw up online somewhere. Anyone know whos got the bye first week? My boys mosgiel are off to Queenstown week one. Might tag along for the football.......

I can see Cavvy being too good for the Students and Tech will edge Roslyn.

Good common sense calls here from the Taieri Oracle....can't disagree with them at all.

draw will be online by Friday, hopefully sooner, Malc's team has the bye first round. Queenstown will be easy

Rumour has it Brookside your actually a red head from Roslyn

Anybody see the football at the weekend

nice try bolss

saw first half, Tech were alright, Braes were bad, Lockhart was decent, Oz must've played second half?

kudos on username Hills

Roslyn 1 vrs Tech 1
Cavy 3 vrs Uni 1
Mosgiel 9 vrs Qtown 1
Northern1 vrs G Braes 0
GI 0 vrs Milk Cup 0

Has this game involving the "Milk Cup" team been finalised yet?

tech have it hard. mos, cav and ros in first 4 games of the season. think the mighty roslyn will come away on top this year. dont count out the uni lads though. young luke may have the talent to take the boys all the way this seaon.

heard tech also have uni as their 5th game? very tough start

what talent has uni got this year? don't really know any of their playerstroll2012-03-19 10:34:58

will wait & see who goes where after the last Otago game, i think the comp will be very even this year

Same old story for university, foreign players only staying for a semester & young students not sticking around during holidays

just bringing myself up to date with the forum, the last 5-6 pages are utter rubbish, this forum has gone down hill fastthefixer2012-03-19 16:21:23

Then fix it

Cant see uni doing anything this year. They will win some games but again theyl let themselves down by losing some shockers and then players will lose interest as seems to happen every year. I heard the squad is not that different as its sounds like new players almost feel like they wont get a decent shot.

i would try & fix it but leaving soon so probably no point

the top three in no particular order will be Caversham tech roslyn wakari, when i look at Mosgiel i see a backline made up of Fletcher cup type players & again no striker signed

Is there any strikers in Dunedin besides Burgess

valid points sir, Mosgiel are missing a couple of key defenders from last year & the ones left are not very good, keeper a worry to

Mr Fixer

it is true we are missing a couple but we will be solid

I do agree with the comments about it being a really good competitive season - and I hope it is. But then again I can't help thinking beyond the game day players as far as the winner goes- at the end of it the coaching team, the player depth and the club structure will cause the triumph in my opinion. And so I back Cavvy Cavyy and Cavvy again - who else has won it in the past dozen or so years? My beloved Rosyln when I played for them did it just the once even though we were close a few times, and then Tech were just great last year and were deserved champions. But when did Mosgiel last win it? I can't even recall. There won't be a new winner. If it's not Cavvy it will be Tech or maybe Roslyn in my dreams, But -Tech will only win it if Myers and Prattley are back for decent stints and Roslyn will only win it if...NatPevin2012-03-19 20:34:41
