Sad news! It sure hits home when it's someone your own age. First played against him when I was about 15 in a provincial cup game at Clinton Park. He played with Grandview Legion (along with Colin Miller). We lost that day and Bobby went on to become Sun Soccer Boy at the finals. Great player in...
You're bang on with the caught in possession observation Regs!! #15 (neck tatty) wants to touch it 3 times before passing it, as well as some others. Simply can't have that from a midfielder.
The first two goals I thought were weak. The first one is just a simple flick-on, with the two centre...
As you were saying........:)
A big question is why the hell is Alberts and Rome ahead of Ballard on the depth chart. There has to be a personality conflict because he should be playing ahead of those two even if he isn't playing that well. If Salo can't go Tuesday, are both of these plumbers...
One suggestion I heard recently was that they should have started with the U-13, U-14, and U15 age groups, then with every passing year let it build up to U-18. If you only have one or two years left, is the BCPL going to develop you more than Metro/Selects? Not in my opinion. With the time of...
3 points on this game:
1) You just knew this ref was bad when he showed Harris the yellow 5 minutes into the game for a fair slide tackle,
2) Hassli is an idiot!!! Just back from suspension, he elbows a guy (after witnessing the side angle replay and then seeing the state of the guys' nose...
How about chanting "so and so (insert other teams' name) sucks, so and so sucks, so and so sucks!!!! I don't recall that ever being done :rolleyes:
At the match yesterday, also in the beautiful people section of 207 :cool:. As has been mentioned, it was a terrific atmosphere but the beer...
The most important question for tomorrow is: What are they charging for pints??!! :confused:
Don't tell me it's gonna be $8 like the Canucks!!? :mad::eek:

GO 'CAPS!!
Yes Frase, my head was pounding for hours afterwards...........:D
I just don't think there will be enough elite players to fill out the rosters in my opinion. The SYL League is watered down so will it not be the same in HPL? I only have one kid still playing youth soccer and she is winding...
A few questions that I don't think I've seen answers for:
In this first year, it's only a mini season from Sept. to Oct., so after the teams are selected in April what will then happen for the next 4 months until the "season" begins? Is it going to be constant training with exibition games...
3-2 North Delta over the Dragons. Up 2-0 at the half, Kushy ties it with 2 headers 15 min. into the second half. That set the stage for old BK7 to win it for us with about 10 to go. On to the semis!!

Can't speak for the boys side, but on the girls, the Whitecaps have been taking the best players from u-17 and U-18 from their club teams and putting them on the Development team for the past 3-4 years. The girls give up club soccer to train and play with the Caps only. Also, what is the...
In my opinion, you are just not getting a huge leap in development with this new format. There will still be a Provincial team, just like there is now, there will still be NTC training, just like now, and teams will probably play in Showcase tourneys, just like most good Metro/Selects teams do...
Why would there be a recruiting battle if all players are shared equally and shuffled around? On top of that, what player wants to be shuffled around? The great thing about team sports is reaching a goal (cup win, etc.) with your teammates who are also friends from playing together for several...
Who would be competing for the Provincial and Canadian championships that the Select/Metro teams currently are under this new format? If the HPL teams are, then why play past Thanksgiving. If they are not, then what are they competing for? If it's 8 teams of "elite players" just playing for a...
Are you kidding us haters??
Really nice spelling and use of periods to break it up into sentences. Fukcing moron!!!!
Take your illiterate texting shite elsewhere!!
