  1. Say what you like about Launceston United, but at least it has a ground that is up to FFT's and NPL standard, lower scores and competitiveness seem optional :)

    1. Since when ? First time they’ve finished in the top 3 for over two decades, the saying your using means finishing second every year.

      Go back to school

    2. Leave City alone. They have won heaps of trophies

    3. The leanest run the club has ever had without a trophy. City are a very successful and proud club. Good to see them coming back to again becoming a powerhouse in Tas football.

    4. Powerhouse? Back in the 90s we talking or ?

    5. No issue with throwing banter around but if you’re going to use a saying to have a go at least get the meaning of the saying right ffs

  3. Anyone that thinks this isn't a successful year for Launceston City are idiots. Could have been better, absolutely - I think they've been the best team second half of the year. But second is by no means a failure.

    1. People are happy to see them fall short because of their arrogance and behaviour. Without a doubt they have improved but at the same time they have been crap for a long time. So shut up and keep working don’t build the hype when you haven’t won anything yet.

    2. Second is amazing. Well done City. You are the best club in the north

    3. What and who hyped up anything ? Love to see some actual factual substance to this claim, far from an arrogant team too unless you’ve an instance where you can show proof for that ..?, definitely seems like you’ve got an issue with them though. Ask any team they’ve played if they are arrogant you’d soon get your answer.

    4. Anon 10:04 PM - Don't be silly asking for factual substance in these threads mate, it doesn't exist!

    5. City continuing to live rent free in a few people’s heads

    6. The fact is that it’s another trophyless season for juve

    7. 2nd are first losers unless you come 1st no other place really matters in hind sight

    3. How many points have united had since being in the top division?

      Delete
  6. Dear o dear United. It’s hilarious that they were saying this year they would cause some surprises. I didn’t realise that they were meaning that they would be even worse than the first 2 winless years.

  7. Hear there might be some fresh faces being signed for South to replace their current ones for the Australian Championship, I wonder how they’ll react to that?

    1. Yeah, great point. It is unbelievable South might contemplate this given it is unheard of for teams being promoted to a higher division to bring in new players. I can see Stan Sport signing you up to provide expert analysis alongside Bosnich and Foster.

  8. Please explain how the team go promoted?
