Disappointing result for the Romanians but at least they had an eclectic mix of laid-back, adult contemporary music from the Bingers changeroom to soothe them afterwards.
I'd love to hear some insight on the Rover's management's reasons for leaving a player with 5, let alone 10, goals on the field. I know it's competitive but for fcuksakes..
Very questionable. Wouldn't give a yellow for some brutal tackles then was happy to hand them out over some minor comments. Not sure what his gameplan was there, that game couldn't have easily spilled over but luckily fizzled out in the end
Congrats to campo on a match well played tonight. They came out with a plan and executed it to a tee. A very impressive season for them after getting promoted last season. Also kudos to their former coach for his top class piss taking and work with the team. Glad to see delta stayed up, they're...
So it all gets decided tonight then.. campo vs Romania at Burnaby lake and Norvan vs delta half an hour later at winskill. Could be a few sore legs and heads tomorrow at work.
Scrappy game between Delta and Romania, probably should have been a draw after an encouraging first half for SD. Hopefully they get a result next week as they don't really deserve to go down.
Good win by metro, an interesting game. A ridiculous goal to make it 3-1 on a volley that, if the player had 100 more attempts at it I'm sure he wouldn't score. Romania made it 3-3 but metro were the better team in the second half and probably should have scored more. Makes for a pretty dramatic...
It's not clear at all.
If the home team is unable to provide a usable playing field, that falls on them. Weather was not a factor. Who's to say they weren't short on players and didn't want the lights to come on. Home team is responsible.
From the excellent website.. .
8.j. Team or teams held to be at fault for abandonment of a game
Penalty: Minimum $150.00 fine plus game officials fees/s ($70/80) and Field cost ($75 +) - 3-0 result will be given to the opponent.
Seems pretty cut and dry.
If there's a tie for the last spot, does it come down to goal difference of head to head? This was the whole mess with campo getting promoted wasn't it? Either way, anyone know the rule?
