And, six Koreans and one Japanese player will arrive in Hobart tomorrow evening [Sunday] to join League One newcomers Derwent United.

Knights led 4-0 at half-time against Taroona and Tom Sherman also had a penalty saved by the Taroona goalkeeper.
Both sides made changes at the interval, but the Knights rammed home four more goals and conceded two.
Justin Letiko netted twice for Knights, while Akuei Guot, Sherman, Andrew Robb, Simon Strang, Sam Ryan and Matthew Nowicki scored a goal apiece.
Tom Loftus and Sam James were Taroona’s marksmen.

“In the second part of the opening half, we kept possession well and played pressure football,” said Knights coach, Chris Hey.
“We managed to round their defence and create chances.
“We made several changes at half-time that changed our structure a little bit.
“Taking the week as a whole, I’d say we’ve improved and are playing good, structured football.
“I think we’re ready for Friday night when we meet Olympia in the opening game of the Summer Cup.”
Derwent United will have two more Koreans arriving during next week and all their imports are registered and ready to go.

The club will be training twice a day next week - once in the morning and once in the evening - prior to their opening Summer Cup fixture against fellow Division One outfit Metro next Sunday at 5pm at Warrior Park.
Metro will have Neil Biggar, who has made another comeback from retirement, in goal.
Coach George Krambousanos said the club was on the verge of signing an Irish striker in time for the Summer Cup. Metro were due to play an intra-club practice match at North Chigwell this afternoon.
Meanwhile, last night, Olympia Warriors seniors beat their reserves 8-1 in an intra-club practice match at Warrior Park.

Can any explain
They won't be tho.
And knights must be stupid and desperate if they wannansign gout with a suspension like that
I can't believe that people are so narrow minded and don't see what's happening around them.
I think there was a post a couple of week ago that said that Derwent couldn't win in Div 4 so how could they win Div 1.
who you going for Manny?
Do you understand what vindicated means?
Shows you that you don't know anything about Jankos past.
He actually started his playing career as a junoir with Olympia who helped his progress and it was expected that at some stage he would play with the club where his roots are from.
But luckily he has come to back to a club that helped his career start.
Cheers.
What you also dont realise is that Janks will also be at Knights by 2013. Fact. Cheers
Yes. Possibly.
But so could any other player end up at Knights in 2013.
Or to any other club.
FACT.
Cheers.

FFT insurance is crap. How much does it pay? it is laughable...
It is not Gout stop saying it is
Jin has previously brought some Koreans to Tasmania as an agent for the players (Sth Hobart, CUFC).
He is now bringing 7 imports to the team he coaches - a Div 1 team.
Is Jin their agent or their coach?
As for his past, he did not play any junior soccer there at all. He played half a season in the old summer State League. He made his senior debut with them but he left during that season to join Knights. His junior time was spent with school sides, Croatia Glenorchy, Junventus (yes Zebras) and the academy. I reckon I categorically say he didn't play a single junior game for Olympia.
Correct. janko himself has told me this.
What are u jealous of georges success don't beat your self up mate just take it as it is!
Tommy actually stated in his post that Janko DID play for Olympia at senior level, indicating that he did play for them "at some level" as you put it and noone is disputing that fact. Pretty safe/stupid bet seeing as Tommy only mentioned he did not play at Olympia during his JUNIOR days. Well done George, please get off the blog and stop trying to lead your club with your wallet. Leadership is earnt not bought, well at most clubs other than yours!
Jayden's heart is obviously with his Dad. His soul is with DOSA.
They seem to be under the radar, everyone is talking about South, Warriors, Knights, Clarence.
We have a club that the bloggers are leaving alone forsome reason.
A club keeping their cards close to their chest. As they say it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for, not the ones making all the noise
The Eagles guys have posted on here about them selves several times though so doesnt look like they are being quiet at all.
Which 'Eagles Boy' talked it up? Unless you have proof get off the bandwagon and come up with some facts before bagging the club.
Heard a whisper or two that Mr. P is holding an ace up his sleeve regarding a special signing ........all to b revealed in the league campaign!
Not to mention an announcement of his assistant coach in due course!
Simple explanation really, there is no spell check on the blog so Eagles players have trouble sending anything that makes sense.
yup.
Quiet? How about all of the eagles flogs getting on here with all of that 'here comes your mighty cse" crap?
Wish I knew who you were but I guess we'll just keep the negativity Anonymous.
Once again how do you know players are posting this crap?
The T-Rex is coming!!!
Janko its very tough coming back from retirement, regular training would be a good start. Good luck.
Weren't eagles hopeless last half of the season last year? Also, it's not 'an' Eagles player. Opposed to your "NOT and Eagles player". Quoting Anonymous:

How can a team that made the GF be hopeless? You all talk about Eagles players coming on here and being blog bashers but have a look at yourselves! Worry about your own club

Lets compare Eagles 1st half of the 2011 season to second half. Which form would you prefer to have Mr. Eagles? you cant put it back on somebody else by saying look at your own club. I'm very happy with the progress my club has been making which is why I am able to comment on these matters. Must of hit a nerve??
Also just a correction from earlier. It's 'an' Eagles player. Opposed to your "NOT and Eagles player". I had the word 'not' in my head because it was emphasized so well with the use of caps. My bad ;)

hang on a minute.....i think we are missing something here.
man den?
always thought you were like that marshy, but dont bring the rest of your team down with you.

What has the Man Den got to do with any of this? Or Knights? What are you guys on?
Kelly was given a suspension by the club which led to his resignation. No suspensions outside of the club where handed down. May need to do some research?
Cheers Dallas
Also I'm not T-Rex. That my friend is Tom Sherman. And he is coming.
LOL LOL
CUFC
Do the same for knights thanks
Shwaaaangyy
Go Knights
err 2006? lol
In the last 10 years, who has won more? Knights. Clearly.
with your current squad? No i think not
Those in glass houses......
From what i've seen there are plenty of simple types in the league.
I would say its the bitter type that maybe rate themselves quite high and were given a lesson last year technically and physically on the football pitch so the 'Eagles players are dumb' comments are their last resort
Jade clay and benny Peter were there, Maybe Jayden wiggins? not sure if he was there at the time or not? so there is at least two more than Eagles' isn't it?
2 players didnt win the league mate
I Didn't say two players did. But they pass on the experience. My point is that they have more premiership winning players than Eagels. and that some of their current squad was involved.
