Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Jonathan NTI Gil Vicente Vit. Setubal ₤110k Its a nice move for Jonathan to a club who is usually a top 6 Portuguese side He still needs to move again if he wants a title, and he is not getting enough games even where he is, this is a worry. The big clubs in Portugal stockpile good players and don't play them. This does worry me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As all of this happened afer the Gold Cup registration deadline, Lemon will still be in the 23 man squad but is not expected to feature.

DodgeeD Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Southern Treasure Islands Gold Cup Squad Announced At a press conference earlier today, the 22 man STI squad for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup was announced. There were no real surprises as 19 of the 20 stars of the future unveiled nearly 3 seasons ago were named. The only absentee is J.D. Dodgson. The Swansea striker and son of STI boss Jason de Mire is out until July with a twisted knee picked up in Swansea's final game of he season and will not be able to join up with the squad. That leaves STI with only two out-and-out strikers, Heinrich Kroeger Jnr. and Gus Crazy, so we can expect Loic Philippens and possibly Captain Gingerbread Jnr to be called on for striking duties as well. Gingerbread is currently recovering from a knock but should be fit in time for the opening game with Cuba on June 1st. Aside from injury concerns, STI fans may be troubled by the fact that they will have to manage without Liam Ferguson and Theo Stigarakis for the first match as both defenders are suspended due to bookings received in World Cup Qualifying two years ago. Cardiovascular is likely to be played at centre back for the first game and Billy Whalley may well be handed his debut alongside the Wigan man. Here is the squad in full: STIers will no doubt be relishing the prospect of competitive football and we hope to bring you the group stage match reports over the weekend. NTI fans will have the distraction of two friendlies in the meantime and they will most likely be hoping STI are eliminated by the time those matches are done so they are not forced to watch from afar... We also hope to bring you some comments from the players and management, both from the South and the North in the run up to the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denther Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 STI News STI have been invited to the Gold Cup, unlike NTI who were unsurprisingly snubbed by the organisers. The official stance is that they just didn't perform well enough to warrent a place, in reality we know it's because they are *****. Anyway, our reporter Polly McParrot caught up with Fred Brookes.Polly McParrot - Fred, it's been a while since we last spoke. Fred Brookes - Too long Polly, too long. I've been focusing on making Barnet the best team in the world, however having that NTI'er Blanco in the team has been holding us back, without him we would be the holders of the Champions League by now. Polly McParrot - If you say so Fred, rumours are that they have not offered you a new contract, even though you have asked for one. Fred Brookes - Well, they didn't want to pay my clean sheet bonus, I am so great that they thought that the £5 a game I requested for a clean sheet would make them bankrupt, therefore it looks as though I'm off in the summer. Polly McParrot - Moving onto STI, you must be happy that you have made the squad for the Gold Cup? Fred Brookes - It's fantastic, the only trouble being that my fellow STI keeper, Blackbeard has become a better keeper than me and so is keeping me out of the team. But I don't begrudge him that, if it's best for STI then it's best for me. Polly McParrot - NTI haven't been invited to play in the gold cup, what are your thoughts on this? Fred Brookes - They're a bunch of Hoppers really. Polly McParrot - Hoppers? Fred Brookes - Indeed Can't wait for the Gold Cup to start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeeD Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 STI Glitter at the Gold Cup as Cuba Get Hit for 6 Group A, Matchday 1: Southern Treasure Islands v. Cuba Date: 01.06.2011 Competition: CONCACAF Gold Cup, Group A Venue: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, Hawaii STI Line-up (4-4-2): Blackbeard; Castagnoli, Whalley, Cardiovascular, Hasek; Hart Jnr, Smith, James II ©, Burrows; Crazy, Kroeger Jnr. Subs: Brookes, Bobinho Jr, Healy, Philippens, van Pieters, Hayward, Gingerbread Jnr 1st Half: STI came into the game expecting a win but there were concerns over the makeshift nature of the defence with Cardiovascular moved to the centre and 19 year-old Walsall defender Whalley set for his debut. Shortly after the match began, it was clear that there was no need for concern as STI took control and immediately went on the attack. Castagnoli, having overcome the nerves that had affected his performances in recent friendlies, created the first chance by crossing to Gus Crazy who shot just over. Shortly afterwards, some neat passing from Kroeger Jnr and Tom Smith set up Paul Hart Jnr for a good chance and it bacame apparent that it was a matter of when, not if, STI would take the lead. The answer was 23 minutes. Castagnoli started the move, passing infield to James II who fed the ball to Kroeger Jnr. The Gimnastic striker seemed ste to shoot but instead ran into the box before pulling the ball back to Tom Smith who stroked it into the back of the net with ease. Kroeger Jnr. was involved again as STI doubled their lead before half-time as he played the ball to Gus Crazy who was fouled just inside the area. Captain Gwilym J. James II stepped up to net the spot kick and give the Southerners a two goal cushion heading into the break. Half Time Score: STI 2, Cuba 0 2nd Half: STI boss de Mire did his job well at half-time ensuring complacency did not creep in and sending his charges out to kill off the game. Within 7 minutes of the restart it was 3-0 as the Cuban defence failed to deal with a Hart Jnr cross and James II was on hand to score his second of the match. It had now become a matter of how many and ten minutes later it was 4. Again, the Cubans messed up a clearance, this time from a corner, allowing Tom Smith to collect the ball on the outside the area and play it to Hart Jnr, who took one touch before turning and firing a low shot into the bottom corner of the net. Cuba tried to prevent further embarassment after that and held out until the final minute when a free kick was given away some 40 yards out. Healy played it short to substitute Loic Philippens who ran forward before unleashing an unstoppable 30 yard screamer. The icing on the cake came from another free ick in stoppage time as Whalley marked his debut with a goal. The result and the performance will send shockwaves through the competition. Final Score: STI 6, Cuba 0 | STI Player Ratings & Stats Man of the Match: Gwilym J. James II (8.7) Attendance: 49,991 Video Highlights: The Goals | Post-match reaction from the STI boss * Colour code: Grey = ‘greyed-out’ player Blue = regen Green = naturalised player In the other Group A game, the U.S.A. overcame Jamaica 3-0 despite having a man sent off.

DodgeeD Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Southerners Hold Their Own Against U.S.A... (...But Not For Long Enough ) Group A, Matchday 2: U.S.A. v. Southern Treasure Islands Date: 04.06.2011 Competition: CONCACAF Gold Cup, Group A Venue: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, Hawaii STI Line-up (4-4-2): Blackbeard; Castagnoli, Ferguson ©, Stigarakis, Cardiovascular; Hart Jnr, Smith, Gingerbread Jnr, Bobinho Jr; Crazy, Philippens Subs: Brookes, Hasek, Burrows, van Pieters, Kroeger Jnr., Whalley, Lemon 1st Half: STI rung the changes for their key clash with the U.S.A. As expected, Ferguson and Stigarakis returned to the starting line-up after suspension with Cardiovacular moving to left back and Hasek dropping to the bench. The award of starting places to Bobinho on the wing and Gingerbread Jnr in the middle was more of a surprise. Philippens was also brought in after his stunning strike against Cub with Kroeger Jnr. dropping to the bench. STI were heavy underdogs but started brightly, Bobinho Jr cutting inside but shooting just wide. Soon enough, the Americans started to attack though with Adu and Altidore causing problems for the STI defence. Luckily for them, the forward pair were largely wasteful with their chances, failing to force Blackbeard into a save. The first save was made by Tim Howard as a swift STI move resulted in Philippens playing Hart Jnr through but the young winger saw the American goalie athletically tip his effort wide. Blackbeard was finally called into action as Altidore powered a header towards the goal but proved himself more than equal to the shot. Half Time Score: U.S.A. 0, STI 0 2nd Half: After an even first half, the U.S.A. came out looking fired up and started to put a lot of pressure on the Southerners at the back. STI’s cause wasn’t helped by Stigarakis and Ferguson struggling with knocks and they were eventually caught out from a corner. Ferguson rose to head the ball away but it only went as far as Altidore who controlled it and smashed an effort into the back of the net from distance. That gave the advantage to the host nation and Liam Ferguson had to play through the pain barrier to keep STI in it with the captain not missing a tackle or a header all game. With 8 minutes left on the clock, the Southerners suddenly got a breakthrough. Two subs combined with Hasek playing ball over the top to Kroeger Jnr. The striker fluffed his shot embarassingly wide but he was spared blushes by Oguchi Onyewu who inexplicably hacked down Philippens even though he was nowhere near the ball. Tom Smith stepped up for the resulting penalty to level the scores. The late drama was not finsihed there though as the U.S.A. went to a 4-2-4 formation and chased the win. They got it when a free kick in the centre circle was played through the middle to Felix Garcia, who turned on the edge of the area and shot into the top corner to grab a dramatic win for the hosts. Final Score: U.S.A. 2, STI 1 | STI Player Ratings & Stats Attendance: 49,991 Video Highlights: The Goals * Colour code: Grey = ‘greyed-out’ player Blue = regen Green = naturalised player In the other Group A game, Jamaica got their camapign back on track with a 3-0 over Cuba. That means going into the final game against each other, both Jamaica and STI have 3 points. STI have the better goal difference however. With the top two guaranteed passage to the quarter finals and the two best third-placed sides also going through, STI are well placed but they will want a win to get a better seeding for the next round. In the other games, Mexico booked their passage from Group B to the quarter finals with a tight 1-0 win over Canada while Guatemala and El Salvador only did each other harm by palying out a 1-1 draw. In Group C, Honduras and Costa Rica finished their game 1-1 and Netherlands Antilles nearly caused the first upset of the competition as they were a few minutes from a famous victory over Panama but ended up drawing 1-1.

DodgeeD Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Meanwhile, somewhere near the equator..... Ecuador v. Northern Treasure Islands Date: 04.06.2011 Competition: International friendly Venue: Modelo, Guayaquil NTI Line-up (4-4-2): Harrow; Jonathan, Alvaro Brown, Hamilton, Lazewski ©; Bojangles, Barkley, Boyle, Iglesias; Browne, Gonzalez JR Subs: Almond, Twigge Jr, Gray, Flash, Blowcrapup, Hawkini, Tner, Barron, Collingwood With all the focus on the Southern scum at the Gold Cup, NTI fans needed a distarction and it came in the form of a friendly in Ecuador (this means NTI now haven’t played a home game in over three years, prompting rumours that boss McBob is involved in some kind of tax scam or parental lawsuit). Following some disappointing form in recent games, the Northerners were looking for an improvement but it was a familar feeling early in the game as the home side took an early lead through Christian Benitez. NTI looked out of sorts for most of the first half as they were uanble to effectively launch any attacks against the organised Ecuadorians. The second half saw a change though as NTI slowly began to have an impact on the game. The introduction of Blowcrapup and Flash gave them some more bite but they suffered a cruel blow as Ecuador hit them on the break and scored a second. NTI kept at it though and pulled a goal back with 6 minutes to go as Blowcrapup was fouled on the edge of the area. He got up, dusted himself off and fired the free kick straight in. The desired second goal never came though and NTI were defeated again, despite a better performance.
