Wow. Well done Lomas. 2B is officially wide open.
Bombastic 2-0 Yaletown. Good clean match, and good to get the old friendly rivalry going again. Referee was decent except for one atrocious offside call when our backs shanked the ball to a Bombastic striker who would've been through on a...
Beware their long-haired midget playmaker, who seems to be escaping sanction for playing while suspended last week. He scored at least three of their goals against UBC and Temple. He'll probably be back to #10 after playing as #15 last week.
That's definitely the case in 2B. The Bombastic result from last week showed that teams are going to take points off one another up and down the table, probably until the end. MYB have had a flying start on turf, but their game at Meralomas this weekend will be a different sort of test. And...
It should be a pretty straightforward situation if the league compares the photos from Saturday with the player's card, or shows them to UBC representatives and/or the referee from the UBC game.
That's definitely the same player who was out there today- someone from UBC or the ref that sent him off would have to see the photos as well, though, to affirm that he was out there last week, as well. I'm not sure what the league protocol in these situations is.
Watched a very talented MYB defeat Temple 4-0 today. Was a bit unsettled by the fact that two goals were apparently scored by the player who was sent off against UBC last week and shouldn't have been playing. He's probably the most technically skilled player in all of Div. 2, and I played...
Panthers are very young and skilled in midfield and up front. They won the Vancouver International Soccer Festival this summer with one of the best small-side performances I've seen. They're a bit dodgy at the back, and their keeper could easily lose half his body weight and still be fine, but...
Good match against Lomas tonight. They went up 2-0 in the first ten minutes with a couple of scrappy goals, and it looked like we were on our way to a 5-0 hiding. Started playing our game and clawed our way back to 2-1 by half, and a few changes at the midway helped us carry momentum into a...
As we mentioned earlier, those players didn't join the team until January, which is why Aryana are where they are in the standings. The whole group would have been considerably different if they had their cup squad from day one.
Cheers, StrictlyBusiness. It's good to get another side to the story. I still say teams should notify the opposition in advance, and it sounds like you guys did that. I agree that 9pm on Saturday is pretty much bullshit, and I'm surprised the league scheduled that time.
Brutal. If a team shows up with six guys or something and at least make an effort, fair enough. If they don't turn up at all, they should be fined extra for not notifying the league and opposing team in advance.
Haha. Sounds like you guys need to update the stats on your website.
Aryana were complete crap in the fall, and then picked up a few very skilled players, especially in midfield. Aside from their sweeper, their defense is still pretty shocking. They've caused a few upsets recently, most...
Haha, cheers. ;)
I know this is the Cup thread, but our game today was so insignificant that it doesn't really matter if or where I post anything. 10 YFCers showed up to beat 9 Cobras 1-0, with the only goal a first-half penalty. It was nice to get a win in the final game of the season, and...
As much as I like Charlie, I resent that, Bfish. ;)
Charlie seems to be having a slow season with only nine goals so far, according to their website. Of course, he might get a few more in an extended cup run...
