I get a bit sick of the criticism the board gets, they are unpaid volunteers doing their best and to be most the punters on have no idea how much work is needed just keep an organisation like Southern Utd going.

So they aren't accountable then because they are volunteers? 
Ron I was just about to have a spaz and say the same.  It's a dumass excuse - the NL is our top level of football and we are a proud town with a great football heritage - so it doesn't matter if it's volunteers.  Then I looked at the thread before you and the funds available and all and I felt a bit guilty.  And then I thought nah bugger it. So what if we have no money?  We have a lot of good local talent and we always will.  Give us a coach that engages the local lads instead of this wombat that no-one wants to play for.  Give us a board that has a sharp scots focus - shrewd with money but true to the way the game needs to be played, i.e., no frills - just bloody win..or on a bad day draw..or on a badder day lose but lose with pride and break some noses on the way.  And whatever the result - win, draw or lose - have beer or a whiskey - not an ice bath and a massage and a nice pep talk that tells us we are fucking great and the best team that ever was.  And let's not, when we lose, say gee we played well lads…boy, we are playing better every week even if we did concede 4….  man, in five years we will finish sixth or seventh and we will be playing sexy ffotball.  Let's not do that.  When we lose let's get pissed off and break grannies best china FFS.  And let's tell that coach to fuck off back to Brazil.

Who said they weren't accountable.

I just think some of the criticism is unwarranted. There are plenty of things that could be done better but it seems to me things off the pitch are improving. Yes there is room for a lot more improvement but there has been a lot of over the top criticism on here at times that's unrealistic and not constructive.

I may not agree with Luiz's '5 year plan' but at least there is one.

If people want to make a difference and are willing to back it up with hard work then I'm sure they would welcomed onto the board. Shit  when I turned up to a few AGM's a couple of years ago they were quite open to new ideas and especially some help.

The problem I see is everyone wants to stick the boot in rather than be part of the solution

wow just saw highlights of Henrique's volley goal against Wellington, great finish from the Brazilian. But that through ball over the top was something special. It looks like the centre back has seen Henrique pointing to his chest from a mile away and played it on the dime. Stand and deliver. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO PLAYED THAT BALL? what a pass!

The words of a loser...

“We are focused mainly on the quality of the performances at the moment,” he says.

“Unfortunately, people only want to look at the results but that is not what it is about for us. When I took on the job I said that we were not good enough right now but that we have a lot of potential and that I would bring young players in and work with them. In three-to-five years I’m confident we will be able to fight for the title.”

From what i'm hearing Cunningham has been dropped for disciplinary reasons (not sure what for?) is Coldicot injured or just unwanted?

If they lose this week, will Luiz get the boot?

From what I hear Coldeicott isn't injured, Luiz just didn't pick him. On another note, Matt Joy getting dropped as Captain for another uni player? May as well have a different captain every week so everyone can have a turn like 5 year olds.

Leave the 5 year olds to play winning football thanks. Don't coach these young ones to go out and just roll over and let the opposition win. Shame the SU coach can't do similar with his kindergarten kids + a couple.

Woo hoo we beat the kids!

Thanks God for Andy Ridds.

He stuck one in the net!

Did Master Cunningham ever bet,

That he would ever score?

I ask you, I implore!

Methinks – nah bro, no way!

Not ever, not today.

He’d miss three, four or five,

And in the box he’d take a dive,

But score a goal?  Cummon?

What the fuck was it that he was on?

The Brazilian made it two -

That’s no big deal to me or you,

He’s not a local lad!

And so he’s really not that bad.

I nearly had a coronary

When young Cam Attwood did display

His more aggressive side.

When he was sent I almost died.

And then they pulled one back!

I said, “Luiz is for the sack!”

But we hung on to the end,

And this message our Luiz will send –

I’ve won a game – up yours!

Now give me 15 years or more

I’ll train this team of mine,

To beat the kids, most every time.

Jesus- just be happy they won a game! Well done to the team !  One more win  and Luis will be at least as good as  Murry with half the  squad- interesting  - also that under  20 side  is probably better than  young heart
