2004 Kamloops August Long Weekend

[downtown]

60 more sleeps until this beauty comes along again and a few leading questions come to mind......

Will Jinky make a triumphant return to lead Pocomo back to last place ?
Will Nutmegs be posing for more pictures ?
Will the Highlanders onside kick currently being devised work this time ?
Can Parkhead score on a breakaway ? Actually, can Parkhead score period ?

96 teams causing mayhem, and the dance of the year, who's in ?

 

[BlazeArmy]

In. But we are trying to keep 1 hotel for the first time in 4 years

 

[Buckfast]

Christ, I'm willing to make an appearance.....if you're allowed out. You've changed, Downtown.

 

[lean]

Officially the Idiots will not be entering the loops tournament as the Mayor of Kamloops has made it quite clear that we should probably not even attempt to enter the city limits Something about having one or two too many drinks last year..............

Christ, I'm willing to make an appearance.....if you're allowed out. You've changed, Downtown.

Who said you were invited ? Change is good, yeah, reeeaaall good. Ah, c'mon up and we'll see if we can find the real me....
BTW, congrats on last weekend....

 

[joely_the_goalie]

the On-side kick will be worked to perfection this summer, as one that witnessed it, and was in the room while it was drawn up, I truly believe this play will change soccer in the years to come.

 

[trece verde]

we'll be back too...

a couple of matters of honour to avenge both on the field and in the gardens; also need to hit the sis-in-law up about supplying the le Chateau girls again for this year.

the bhoyz in green are all looking forward to this year's episode of debauchery and mayhem.

[Spazz]

Hey Glasgow Ghirl... wanna confirm a rumour....?

Club Ireland Women are not going to Kamloops this year??
That sucks! I did quite well there last year

 

[glasgow ghirl]

Spazz ...

Well the rumour unfortunately is TRUE... BUT how did it get out so fast. I just realized it myself. We don't have the numbers. Out of 33 players, we have 6 confirmed YES. I suggest trying to get on another team for the weekend.

Sorry pal ... not too much I can do.

GG

 

[Jinky]

Even worse news.

No PoCoMo this year unless we can find some interested players.


It is a dark dark day indeed.

 

[Milhouse]

The Highlanders have (4) foursomes set up for Friday, July 30 at the Dunes in Kamloops. Tee off times start at 1pm. Power carts, KP, Long drive is all set up...reduced rate if all 16 spots filled.

PM me if interested.

 

[trece verde]

Jinks:

Come up with us instead, then. We may not aspire to the lofty heights of the Pokes, but we're still wearing green. Besides, the Beer Garden won't be the same without you.

Beers,

Stew

 

[Milhouse]

Where the hell is all the banter in this thread?

Isn't anybody besides myself getting jacked up about Kamloops? Its exciting...the beer garden, the soccer, the beer garden, the women, the beer garden, the clubs, the beer garden...

Is there a schedule yet? What local teams are going Men & Women? What do the Delta Boys have planned for this year? Shirts? Headbands? Mullets? OnSide Kick? Highball Award for each game? What about the Kamloops Rookies, what is their fate?

Downtown, Guinness, Stepchild...

The Executive Inn will be a little less noisy minus Pocomo and the Club I gals.

 

[BlazeArmy]

The Executive Inn will be a little less noisy minus Pocomo and the Club I gals.

Probably not. The Blaze are staying there this year.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Do any refs on TTP know if they're looking for refs in Kamloops? Reffing a few games might just cover the cost for the weekend and make it possible.

Walks, are you going?


Captain

 

[Spazz]

Milhouse.... if it wasn't for us noisy Club I girls last year you guys wouldn't have had as much fun!

Sucks that we're not going....

 

[BlazeArmy]

Walks, are you going?


Captain

No.It is Animal's stag apparently. I heard this at DCS last week.

 

[trece verde]

Folk:

Schedules just got emailed out this morning. Nice - don't have our first game until 11:30 on Saturday.

Kapitan - only way I can think of to find out if they need refs would be to contact Rob Piva (tournament organizer). Aside from that, I think we've still got space for a left-footer, but you'll have to play with O'Fitch again. Green jerseys provided, though...

Been in heavy training for this; Ghost Rider's boys and I played a grudge match in stinking heat on Saturday afternoon on the turf with questionable refereeing, followed by a long team party with da Spurz. Covered all the bases:
1) heat
2) game
3) dodgey official
4) swilling
5) semi-functional status the next morning
Ready to go.

Beerz,

stew

 

[Settle Down]

Well I must say the Loops did not disappoint. The entertainment on and off the field was amazing - very offside moments all around. Who were those porn stars in the beer garden?? Those pink shorts were hot - where can I get a pair?

I must say beer goggles are way thicker in the desert heat than at home in Van Very questionable choices! What flavour candy was that anyway? Quite possibly well past the expiry date. Sorry boys, but you're not living that down for a while

The heat was the eventual winner of the tourney - god damn playing in 38 degrees is not a fun experience. A little controversy in the UCC v. Seikh Temple side, but all very entertaining. Unfortunately missed out on the finals but it was a good time had by all. Looking forward to next year

 

[Settle Down]

Sorry, forgot one other thing - Man On! It's gotta be tiring following a check all weekend - even off the pitch, phew.
