tomsmith1989 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Oh no. A defeat. I guess it's to Mexico, but to have taken the lead, and then even to conceed and equaliser wasn't that bad.

PluckaDuck Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Was on the field for 20 minutes and didn't even touch the ball????? Has our manager set focus passing down the right wing or something, as 20 minutes of not touching the ball is pretty rare. Not that I'm complaining, all game-time is good and will hopefully attract a club to take me away from what is this hell I call playing at QLD Roar. KUTGW Mate!

DodgeeD Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Ja-Makin’ Us Nervous Now, STI! | NTI Midifield Exposes Usless State of America Jamaica v. Southern Treasure Islands. Date: 12.06.2013 Competition: World Cup Quals (NAM), 3rd Phase Venue: Greenfield Stadium, Greenfield Previous Meeting: STI 1, Jamaica 0 (2011 Gold Cup Group A, 07.06.11) Jamaica Form: LLLWD| World Ranking: 85th STI Form: LDDDL| World Ranking: 81st STI Line-up (4-4-2): Blackbeard; Castagnoli, Toscani, Cardiovascular, Hasek; Puckett, Smith, James II ©, Gingerbread Jnr; Dodgson, Crazy Subs: Brookes, Stigarakis, van der Cook, Ogden, Kroeger Jnr., Smith, Whalley Match Report: STI moved on from Mexico to Jamaica chasing an overdue win. The home side were on a high after victory over Honduras and a draw away to the U.S.A. and would be no pushovers. Both teams’ desire to wi was exemplified by some rough challenges early on, one of which resulted in an injury to Jamaica’s Doyley. That fired the home crowd up and they enjoyed a period of pressure after that which eventually yielded the first goal as Dane Richards out-jumped Castagnoli to head in a high ball. STI took up the attacking initiative after that and created several chances but J.D. Dodgson was in particularly poor form, the only thing consistent about his game being his inability to hit the target. As the clock ticked on in the second half, STI fans started to worry that a second defeat in two games was coming but their midfield maestro Tom Smith saved the day with just over 15 minutes left. A fine ball by James II opened up space on the left for Gingerbread Jnr, who crossed into the centre of the box. Smith had made a chage from midfield and was first to the ball with a powerful header to bring STI level. Tempers flared again as Jamaica had a man sent off with 10 minutes to go when he caught sub Kroeger Jnr. in the face with an elbow. STI couldn’t capitlise on their advantage though and had to settle for yet another draw. Final Score: Jamaica 1, STI 1 | STI Player Ratings & Stats Attendance: 24,989 Milestones: - Ondrej Hasek picked up his 30th cap for STI. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Northern Treasure Islands v. U.S.A. Date: 12.06.2013 Competition: World Cup Quals (NAM), 3rd Phase Venue: Capital City Stadium, capital City Previous Meeting: U.S.A. 0, NTI 0 (World Cup Quals 1st Phase 2nd Round Leg 2, 14.06.08) NTI Form: WDWDD | World Ranking: 101st U.S.A. Form: WDLDD| World Ranking: 26th NTI Line-up (4-4-2): Almond; Jonathan, Hamilton, Hawkini, Lazewski; Bojangles, Iglesias, Barkley, McBob Jnr. ©; Browne, Tobago Subs: Harrow, Hurst, McNally, Barron, Hendrie, Gray, Webster Match Report: NTI came into this game in good form and, although their opponents were ranked some 75 places above them, there was a sense that the win was there for the taking. This game was all about the battle in midfield and the ever-improving and ever-maturing NTI boys had the edge today. Iglesias and Bojangles were alert and quick on the wings and Barkely was bossing the middle of the park. McBob Jnr. has also taken the chance in the last few games to silence some of the doubters and showed himself more than capable of standing in for Juan Alaro Brown – Arsene Wenger take note. The midfield crew created the only goal of the game. McBob won the ball in the cetre circle before paying it wide to Bojangles. Seeing no opening, the Blackburn winger played the ball back to Barkley in the centre. Barkley then showed great awareness to advance forward and spot the run of Iglesias. He picked him out with a lovely ball, which was controlled before being whipped into the box. Jack Browne reacted first, getting to the near post and poking the ball past Tim Howard. It was a goal the U.S.A. had no answer too. Try as they might, they just couldn’t get near the NTI penalty area with Barkley and McBob hustling in midfield and Jonathan and Lazewski giving no space to the wingers. The result delighted the home support as they reach the halfway stage unbeaten and well poised to book a place at Brazil 2014. The Americans, on the other hand, face the very real prospect of missing out next summer altogether. Final Score: NTI 1, U.S.A. 0 | NTI Player Ratings & Stats Man of the Match: Alex Barkley (7.3) Attendance: 89,971 Milestones: - Jack Browne earned his 20th cap for NTI and scored his 10th international goal. - Alex Barkley made his 20th appearance for NTI. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Result: Mexico 4, Honduras 1 – At last! A good result for STI! Table After 5 Games – at the halfway stage, Mexico look certain to take top spot and NTI look comfortable in 2nd. However, they have a rivals clash with STI to come as well as away trips to Mexico and the U.S.A. so they will have to be wary of any slip-ups. STI are still in the hunt for the last automatic qualifying spot (thanks to the poor form of Honduras and the U.S.A. so far) but they will have to get some wins on the table if they are to avoid elimination or a tricky play-off.

DodgeeD Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Treasure Islands Player of the Month, June 2013 The main focus was on internationals this month so it will be no surprise that our player of the month is chosen on the basis of those games. The June Player of the Month is: Jack Browne!!! Nation: NTI Caps: 20 (10 goals) Current Club: Torino (co-owned by A.C. Milan) 2 games, 2 goals and 4 points for NTI this month. May very well prove crucial on the Road to Brazil. Also noted: Hawkini (Tigres/NTI): The masked wonder played at the heart of the Tigres defence as they made the clasura final. Alas, he was on international duty for the two-legged final, perhaps a factor in Tigres' eventual defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the other end, Theo Stigarakis helps Blackpool scrape survival on goal difference. Germany 1st Division: FC Bayern* | 2nd Division: Augsburg** Cup: Leverkusen *FC Bayern get another title, with a little help from Gonzalez JR.

Hamuel Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 NTI are looking well placed in the group and confidence should be high. Particularly for J.A.B. who needs to make ammends after the last rivalry game. Just hope the manager gives him another chance although the spanish double should certainly help his cause. That said the defence is looking very solid without him although got a bit battered in the air against USA. Whatever happens for J.A.B. though I'm predicting a big win for NTI and a clean sheet too.

A cut price January transfer to Sheff Utd proved a great move however, as Boyle became a first team regular at Bramall Lane and helped his new team finish the season top of the Championship.

Regular football there seems to be keeping the full back happy, for now at least. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements Perugia Best XI (2011/12) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig Healy No first team action again and Healy’s time at Porto seemed to be over as he came to the end of his contract. In a surprising decison, Healy then agreed to a two-year contract extension and will be at Porto next season – but on the bench or the pitch? Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements N/ARecords N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heinrich Kroeger Jnr. Plenty of playing time but not that many goals at Levski have led to rumours of the player leaving in the summer. Zenit, Hull and Gil Vicente are all said to be interested in the striker’s services. Hibernian are also believed to have tabled a bid in the region of ₤450k. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements Gimnastic Best XI (2008/9, 2009/10) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loic Philippens Started the season in good form but a contract dispute (basically, he refused to sign a new one under any circumstances!) led to him being dropped from the team. Now approaching the end of his deal, Philippens looks certain to leave Osnabrück with several clubs from Germany, France, belgium and Turkey chasing his signature. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements Ösnabrück Best XI (2009/10, 2010/11, 2012/13) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Smith Got the big move to Barca and adapted well but was somewhat overshadowed by the success of Juan Alvaro Brown at Real. Indeed, as well as finishing lower down the league table, Smith came 2nd to his NTI rival in the Spanish Young Player of the Year award. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements Castellon Best XI (2008/9) Betis Best XI (2010/11, 2011/12, Overall) Barcelona Best XI (2012/13, Overall) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Theo Stigarakis A busy season saw the defender play 30 games for Peterborough before switching to Blackpool in January and playing a further 15 games there. Just about avoşded relegtation and will be looking for better next season. Medals won League 2 Champions (2009/10)Awards N/AOther Acheivements Crewe Best XI (2008/9, 2009/10, 2010/11) Peterborough Best XI (2011/12, 2012/13, Overall) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marcus van der Cook Spent time at Drogheda Utd on loan before returning to the Sours reserved. Played well when called upon to fill in in defencefor the UEFA Cup semi final though. Currently being tutored by Vedran Corluka. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufio van Pieters A serious cruciate ligament injury brought an early end to this player’s season. He should be fit for the new season though and Arsenal have stuck by him with a new contract that will keep the full back at the Emirates until July 2016. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Az Toscani Slowly starting to get into first team contention at new England. Other MLS clubs have aken notice with Houston and FC Dallas interested. Scouts from further afield have come to watch the young defender too with those Bulgarains showing up again in the shape of CSKA Sofia and Litex. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwilym J. James II Captain Marvel for STI but now getting itchy feet at Q.P.R. despite two seasons of regular first team football. The player has stated his desire to move to a bigger club, which has led to rumours of a possible summer move to Betis. Medals won N/AAwards N/AOther Acheivements STI captain (2008 to present) Q.P.R.

cookie15 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Van Der Cook needs game time to fulfil his potential. He is only 19, so there's room for improvement! Let's see what happens next season...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PluckaDuck Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Finally starting to play some good football up in Brisbane. I know I'm contracted until 2016, But I'd thank that a move is not out of the question here, given I've been playing some good football of late and if I can cement a spot in the first team, hopefully clubs will notice.

tomsmith1989 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Second in Spanish Young Player of the Year is quite the achievement, although it's a shame that the winner was an NTI'er. I seem to have developed into quite the player. Hopefully next season will prove more successful for myself and Barcelona. 32 caps and 6 goals for my country. Oh yeeeeeah!

el sid Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 He has been goalkeeping coach at Celtic for the past year. Funnily enough, he took that job after it was vacated by NTI goalkeeping clown Jack Harrow when he took a new job at Blackburn Rovers. Corrected it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
