2012 BC Mens Provincial A Cup - Draw, Predictions, Results & Banter

[Blue and White Army]

FINAL: Poco FC 1 - 0 Vancouver (UBC) Thunderbirds

#18 Campbell scores in top corner from outside of the 18-yard box.

UBC hit the crossbar from a set piece, then the final whistle sounded.

UBC supposedly looked the better time: they hit the crossbar twice, hit the post once, and had a one-on-one saved by the Poco goalkeeper.

Poco to face North Delta.

Final: Peace Arch United 1 - 5 Surrey United Firefighters

What a strike for the Poco goal. What a way to win a game. Lino told us the goal went in at 92:53

The most shocking moment of the Poco game was the post the UBC player hit. Wide open net in front of him no keeper in sight and about 3 yards out, I'm still trying to figure out how the F he missed that. Does that mean he's gonna get cut from the varsity team if those are varsity guys. LOL

just back from tyndal, Gordon Head and Hibs...entertaining, not quite, but a tale of 2 games. 5 minutes in richmond has a great chance that just slides wide of the post....a few half chances for the head, fairly even half, one thing I noticed right off the bat is Gordon Head has some smallish players who are very quick. Just seconds before the halftime, a tough foul on a very smallish gordon head player gives them a kick inside the half, followed by a floating header from about 20 yards which catchs the hib goalie out of position [either that or it was seeing eyes]...right into the top corner. The first 30 minutes of the 2nd half is played almost totally in the gordon head end with quite a number of corners...if I was to guess they must have had at least 12. On 2 of the corners they had free headers that sailed just over the net. As you can guess gordon head on the counter almost scores, and deep into injury time a free kick is awarded to richmond and the goaler makes a spectacular save just as the final whislte blows. Richmond didn't quite have enough offensive chances outside of the corners and long throws to win.....but they never quit trying to bring their game

I think it is safe to say that Gordon Head stole one yesterday. Great battle by our lads and an unlucky goal was the difference. Fantastic stop by their young keeper on the final play of the game (he was wearing the exact same nike full yellow banana kit i wore a few years ago, too... might have to dust that one off again... looked sharp). I thought they would come with more offense (they scored 51 goals in 18 league games), but they created very little against us.

At least we still have the Canucks cup run...

Seeing eyes

A tough way for The HIBS to end the year to say the least. We just couldn't finish our dinner in front of goal. Credit to Gordon Head as they defended very well when they had to, especially during the second half. On a personal note, it's even more frustrating to lose in the fashion we did, when you have to end your year playing goal after playing the entire season upfront.

Good luck to all the remaining teams.

I don't think you would've earned any new pen pals if you played up front yesterday, CIC. I have a feeling they wouldn't have enjoyed your company.

 

[Kaaa]

Looking at the Draw the Top and Bottom halves should be determined next weekend. Calling Surrey over WV.....AND.... Clanbus over MFW's!

With a Surrey vs Columbus Final! I dont see POCO, North Delta, GH or Delta Utd. vying for a spot in the final.

Not bad, but I wouldn't bet against the Head. They are past proving they are just spoilers, plus RobJ is Delta's manager. I predict another paperwork protest due to RobJ effing up the team sheet. GH by 1, or by protest, either way.

 

[keeper13]

Dude, the Delta one was a hard on to predict, you never know what the Delta boys will be up to the night before the match, but had to go with the home town team on that one. And yes RobJ will screw something up, maybe he will put the team a ferry to Duke Pt. instead of Swartz Bay...

Im calling Poco by a converted touch down. Mills said it would happen, in between us talking about matching match balls. Its what we do. Obviously.

Surrey U 2 West Van 1 ( I like it in OT or PK's)

MF 1 - Clan 2

Delta 2 GH 0

Was that at the "How to improve your clerical work" course?

 

[knvb]

We skimmed that after we batted around how it was possible you could walk around with the incorrect ID for 10 months and not notice.

... despite them being checked every week.

and such.

You are a dink and a quitter!
