Cricket v. Baseball
I haven't been on in a while so I need to help Fasty out here with a defence of cricket.
First of all, in all seriousness, although I know the piss takes are coming. In principle cricket and baseball are very similar, you trying to hit a ball propelled by another guy...
Squealing
I think that's named it Regs, you can call it the three point squeak. We would have walked off again, but we can't afford another fine, guess we'll just have to play the bloody games.
Welcome one and all to the Vancouver winter break, there ain't no way anyone is playing this weekend.
I'm thinking that ParkHead had No. 11 on, as he scored the second goal. I'm having trouble remembering whether I was wearing 2 or 3, but I do remember being megged by the Captain, but it was only the once. To be expected when you have primarily CAT central midfielders playing in your back 3...
tackles
I have to say that what annoys me the most is when the tackle is made, illegally or legally, and the fouled player leaps up and berates the ref anyway. You got the bloody foul, get on with the game, and stop begging for the yellow, what good does it do you if some other guy picks up a...
Lomas Reply
I'll agree with your assessment Keeps, it was a good game all around, with both sides missing a couple of good chances, two knocked off the line by Lomas defenders in the second half and the Lomas missing a couple of clear cut ones, including myself shinning one after being put in...

Entertaining stuff, and reg's Gregory's girl involved a really bad scottish goalkeeper and how he gets manipulated by a number of girls... great film.
Meralomas 'B' 3 - Westside 'C' 2
Meralomas came out strong and played a very good first half, some good movement complemented by great finishing by Henry Rojas gave us a 2-0 lead at the break.
After the break we made too many changes and let Westside back into it. They pulled back a...
Does anybody know whether a possible outcome would be the promotion of a Div 2 CAT team, which for example, won their half of the division, to Div 1 CAT??
Sledges
A couple you may not have heard Fasty..
A few years ago in a county game a youngish quick bowler was bowling to Viv Richards, first ball goes past the outside edge, bowler comments "it's the red thing Viv.", Viv chews the trademark gum, next ball, also past the outside edge, bowler...
Div 2 CAT
Dude,
I would have to agree with the guys from Surrey, I've played in Div 2 for the past 5 years and this year I'm in Div 2 CAT with Meralomas 'B'. The standard of the CAT division is definitely lower than of a regular Div 2 team. There are some pretty shocking teams. The teams...
That's unbelievable. Calabria are horrible, I mean really, really bad. I would have picked you guys to put 5 or so past them.
Things are looking interesting for the Lomas B's in the Cup. If anyone's interested we beat Van Olympics Ouzo on the weekend, in a 1-0 affair that featured a ref...
If the Canadian players were paid with Canadian dollars, the economics would work. I beleive that David Stadnyk the Whitecaps owner has been nosing around the idea, but I beleive the stadium may be the biggest problem at the moment.
It seems to me that the problem is that we don't have enough population centres to support teams. At best we would be looking at a 6 team loop.
To resolve this problem the, theoretically, simplest solution would be to try to convince the Americans to let us have 3 or 4 MLS franchises in...
