Match8 Feb 2027

Southern United sink to position 6

7 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market8 Feb 2027

Auckland City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Southern United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Words at Southern United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mauricio Felipe is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch8 Feb 2027

Bill Tuiloma counts the days

“I watch every Southern United game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Auckland City runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Tommy Sutton in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Southern United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Ben Cacace named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Ben Cacace is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Alex Sutton gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom8 Feb 2027

Southern United pull $594.7K back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Market8 Feb 2027

The clock does Liberato Cacace’s negotiating for him

1 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Southern United could ask drops and the wages Liberato Cacace can ask rise.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Bill McCowatt runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Matt Hill in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Southern United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Mauricio Felipe falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match16 Jan 2027

Waitakere United take the points off Southern United

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad18 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Oliver Stamatelopoulos

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Kosta Waine named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Kosta Waine has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.
