Sir M's Excellent Power Rankings, 2007-2008

[Sir M]

So now it is week four of the season, and there were a few interesting results on the weekend.

And, quite similar to Sir M’s this last Saturday’s first time in six weeks foray into the marriage bed: there were a few upsets, a few postponements, and a few predictable results.

But, again, I digress.

So, without much further ado, or for our French-Canadian fans out there, adieu, we will cut right to the chase and proceed forth with this week’s edition of:

Sir M's Excellent Power Rankings:

1. Columbus F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 1). Staff report that in the second half of last weekend’s game against the Cracks, they played a lot of one or two touch. Staff advise one can get medical help for that, by the way. This side is lending a few of the blue-hairs, one of which was a 2004 National Champion, to their “A” side for the Canadian Championships this coming weekend. On behalf of SMEPR staff and thousands of fans, best of luck in that endeavour. No league game this weekend as a result for the #1 ranked side.

2. Peace Arch United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 2). Top of the table in the FVSL, this side has scored 24 goals and conceded but 1, and the defender on that play has been cut and has moved over to the VMSL (to Inter Premier actually, as another in a series of “pickups”, but unfortunately he was disqualified as being an ineligible player, and Inter, not being Columbus after all, have been accordingly deducted three points.) Back to PAU though: they defeated the Sikh side on the weekend, and will be away to GEU in their next game. Staff report that this side, much like Oscar De La Hoya, likes to “dress up”.

3. Surrey United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 3). Similar to Mrs. Sir M’s activity up at the estate on Saturday evening: there was no movement this week. And also in a similar fashion, Surrey’s game was postponed due to wet and unplayable conditions. Home to Wickham next, who, in another parallel when you think about it, will be tough and hungry.

4. Westside (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 6). Up two spots after scoring early and then easily handling West Van at Ambleside on Friday. Top of the table on their side of the VMSL Masters Premier, which is shaping up to be the tougher of the two sides thus far this season. Host Cliff Avenue this coming Sunday in what should be an interesting game.

5. Cliff Ave. United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 5). Did not play, so they do not move. This coming week’s game against #4 ranked Westside should serve as an indication as to whether this team is a true contender this year. MOTW.

6. Sapperton Rovers (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 11). A big jump for the Rovers after their decisive victory over Wickham up at Griffin on Friday. Staff report they lost two game balls and 9 pints in the process. And to repeat, staff like this team, in a completely non-sexual way. Host West Van at the dreaded Sapperton Park Sunday morning.

7. Golden Ears Thunder (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 8). Up one spot after no game this weekend, and Inter’s three point penalty, and SFC’s unexpected loss. Coming up, they face #2 Peace Arch. A win there will send this side to unprecedented heights in these rankings, and to first place in the FVSL. Stay tuned gentlemen. MOTW for those SMEPR followers out in the agricultural areas.

8. S.F.C. Rangers (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 4). Lost to Mission 1-0 on Friday. As a result, staff report that they received an absolute tongue lashing from Coach, the self-described Johnny Cochrane of Masters Football. Hopefully they can turn it around this coming weekend in the prairies, where it is rumored that the colorful Rangers manager is planning on being the first male in history to wear Capri pants on the Canadian Shield.

But seriously, good luck to the BC Champs this weekend.

9. ICSF Inter (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 7). This side, much like SCK’s favourite Roxy dance move, is grinding out results this season. Unfortunately, much like all to often later in the evening for the VMSL’s #2 goalscorer, there have been a lot of associated shutouts. And a late three point deduction on points drops them a couple of spots. Home to Cracovia next week, a game which could very well move this side up in these rankings.

10. Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 10). They tied Inter 0-0 in a game which staff technical advisors say they defended well and could not score. Away to PCOV next, in what should be another good test. Could move up.

11. Portuguese Club of Vancouver (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 14). This mercurial side is, much like whether SCP will be wearing a Kappa or Puma tracksuit each week, very difficult to predict. Defeated VFF 4-2 on the weekend, and play Metro Ford at home this coming weekend.

12. Aldergrove United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 13). Aldergrove is a force in the Fraser Valley. Of course so is bovine produced methane. Dismissed White Rock on the weekend and are away to Abbotsford next. They could move up again. Rumour has it that some of the Abbotsford players have more than one wife. Kind of like West Van actually. But at least they admit it.

13. Vancouver Firefighters (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 11). Drop a couple of spots after their loss to PCOV. Their game is postponed this weekend, as Columbus has two players who cannot make the game.

14. Richmond United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 15). This Richmond side is quietly moving right up in these rankings. They are one of two undefeated and untied sides in this evaluation, along with #7 ranked GEU. But staff advise that VMSL Div 1 Masters and FVSL Masters are quite similar in caliber. But Sir M does not agree with that one: comparing the two is a bit like comparing Moneyman to Mastermind. Meralomas next.

15. Mission FC Blues (FVSL. Last week’s rank: not ranked). The blue team (and staff, especially SCDMTC Blonde, are offering their services to help you guys not feel sad) make an emphatic return to these rankings after their defeat of the reigning Provincial Champs on the weekend. Away over in White Rock next. About a two hour drive.

16. West Van FC (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 12). This team, led by Sir M, had another in a series of very disappointing performances on the weekend. Can turn it around with a character check away at Sapperton on the weekend. Unless it is too cold, rainy, or early.

17. Delta Metro United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: not ranked). Staff are not impressed with the way in which this team is humiliating weak teams, but do recognize that they are winning games. Away to Sikh next.

18. Langley All Blacks (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 17). Much like Sir M last weekend, this side saw no action. And, a prediction for this coming Thanksgiving weekend (much like for this writer)…they are dangling out a few propositions for Friday evening, but staff are predicting no action again this week.

19. Vikings (NSCL. Last week’s rank: not ranked). This side has come charging out of the blocks in the NSCL, defeating Norvan this last weekend. Staff report that they have no game this coming weekend. In which case this side will probably discover Newfoundland or something.

20. Wickham FC (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 18). Another loss for this beleaguered side drops them two spots. This is a quality team, but things do not get any better for them as they must make the dreaded trek out to CAP at 10 on Sunday. Hopefully for them they do not come home with hail damage, missing laptops, and sore bottoms after that one.

Sorry for the delay in posting this week’s rankings. Best of luck to all teams this week, and especially, best of luck to SFC Rangers.

Sir M.

 

[Scottyshell]

A masterful job well done Sir M....I see we are ranked higher than I thought we would be....geez...wish we could postpone games cause "2 players" can't make it.....that's a laugher! Carry on!

Cheers!

 

[SCK]

Yes, the Roxy were the days...How is it lately, Sir. M.? I know you frequent the joint before you lounge around at your pad. I agree with most of your rankings but feel we should be up a few spots. After all, we will be sporting our brand new unis which will even impress yourself...in a non sexual way of course...

 

[colemanj]

Still loading data and checking on my new algorithim trending, should be able to verify rankings vs predicted results soon. Have to do it mathimatically since I never get to see an actual game.

West Van to Sapperton, Wickham to Surrey... oy vie, glad I am out of town though -- those are tough early morning road trips. It will probably be too early, too cold, too windy, too rainy... and all on a long weekend. Us retired folks will be sipping early morning cappaccinos in the Okanagan, checking our Facebook messages -- you never know when SCDMCT Blonde is going to post another picture...

 

[Dude]

19. Vikings (NSCL. Last week’s rank: not ranked). This side has come charging out of the blocks in the NSCL, defeating Norvan this last weekend. Staff report that they have no game this coming weekend. In which case this side will probably discover Newfoundland or something.

Anybody else get the feeling the Vikes only made the rankings in order to use that line?

 

[Sir M]

Now it is week five, a holiday weekend with one of the three associated Masters Leagues in these rankings sensibly taking the week off. The other two forge ahead. Sadly, the Masters reps for this province lost out in the Western Canadian and Canadian Championships this weekend. But staff would like to congratulate SFC Rangers and the Masters players with Columbus-Clan on their remarkable runs (and no, I am not referring to Rangerforever’s post Winnipeg cabbage rolls problem).

Well done boys, and unlucky.

But now is a time to give thanks: we can be thankful to be still kicking it around at this age, and for the associated friendship and laughs, and of course for Ballbaby’s posts. And Sir M can be thankful for Mrs. Commando not yet killing him in the dark of night.

In any event, enough of this. Sir M is actually, unlike staff member Rangerforever, not really a sentimental type. He is, moreover, not really the semimental type either (Sir M has a Doctor’s certificate to prove this actually). Nor does he wear Capri pants, at least in public, or as far as any of you know anyway.

But enough of all of that. Here is this week’s special Thanksgiving edition of:

Sir M's Excellent Power Rankings:

1. Peace Arch United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 2). Well these dudes make their debut in the top position of these rankings this week. Easily handled GEU Thunder on the weekend, proving in the process that cross dressers can actually play football. Home next in a much anticipated FVSL rivalry against the mighty Allblacks. Staff report that this side is looking forward to Halloween. At which time it is rumoured that 5 Big Toes will be dressing up as Madonna.

2. Columbus F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 1). Columbus drops one spot after not playing on the weekend, and collaterally as the PAU juggernaut (a word JAGS cutely used when the bosomly Annie offered up another pitcher 15 minutes before his Thanksgiving dinner engagement yesterday afternoon) rolls forth. Away at Sapperton next weekend in a clash between two very grumpy teams. MOTW potential.

3. Surrey United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 3). Staff report that Reeder played this last weekend, which means one of two things: either SU needs a bit more scoring… or they are being audited. Defeated Wickham out at CAP on the weekend. Host Cracovia next week. Will probably have to wear white for that one. Quite inappropriate after Labour Day.

Unless of course you are a bridesmaid.

4. Cliff Ave. United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 5). Big win at Westside despite some allegations of theatrics and embellishment. A bit like Sir M’s representation of his love life, truth be told. But a win over on the west side is a win over on the west side, staff advise. Up one spot: home to Metro Ford next. Another potential MOTW. This side is really not far off being #1 in these rankings, staff predict. Sir M apologizes for the dangling modifier, but he is kind of expecting to be stabbed at any moment, so is a wee bit distracted.

5. ICSF Inter (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 9). This side has new uniforms, new guys with a consonant for a last name, and are now scoring goals. Were pretty hard on the Crack on the weekend, and now must travel out to Cloverdale to meet SU on Sunday. Another in a series of potential MOTWeek games. So many great games coming up, how does one pick!

6. Westside F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 4). These guys drop a couple after a tough home loss to Cliff on Sunday. Staff advise that there was some mischief during this game (a bit like the Human Chest nicking a 5 gallon drum of potato salad during last week’s SMEPRs “retreat”) … (apologies to all of our Italian-Canadian fans out there for that last encapsulated reference. No one was referring to the war). At home to PCOV next, a definite chance to move up.

7. Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 10). A good result, much like the Mrs. Commando’s’ botox injections, for the second week in a row (apparently camo paint goes on better without “smile lines”. Give me strength). Away up at Cliff Avenue next.

8. West Van F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 16). This side makes a big jump after beating Sapperton at home, and because Sir M has the final say as to which team gets ranked in which position. Speaking of yesterday’s victory, Sir M spent a bit too much time at the pub afterward, and as a result, is posting from the guest house.

Again.

As penance, Sir M is looking forward to a holiday Monday evening of sipping Wild Turkey and listening to the Cranberries... in his underwear whilst wearing a WW1 German (in honour of his first wife) helmet with a spike on the top… (perfect for saving phone messages).

9. S.F.C. Rangers (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 8). Drop one spot after no league game this weekend. Played well in the Western Canadians, but unfortunately fell a bit short. Lack of Ukrainian food is staff’s explanation. Home to White Rock on the weekend. And that is not good news for White Rock. Seriously.

10. Sapperton Rovers (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 6). Drop after their loss at home to West Van. This is a tough team... Sir M was actually going to comment further, but notices a hint of arsenic in the vanilla milk shake he is currently enjoying. Home to Columbus next. Back in a bit, Sir M has to deal with this potential poisoning issue. Talk later.

11. Aldergrove United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 13). Ok I am back. Wasn’t feeling well there for a moment. In fact I thought I had mononucleosis, but discovered I was just bored. In any event, our friends out near the border beat up on their eastern neighbours 10-1 I think it was. But this team is strong, much like The Chest, who also likes lambs by the way. Home to Sikh next.

12. Golden Ears Thunder (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 7). Just in case anyone is intending to slowly kill someone by slipping arsenic into their intended victim’s milkshake once a week so that the poison will slowly accumulate and kill the recipient: arsenic poisoning is traceable through analysis of the victim’s hair follicles. Much like the rings on a tree, the arsenic doses can be compared with the hair growth and matched with, for example when one brings their loved one a vanilla milkshake. Just so you know. This does not apply to bald people, so you can probably apply this method to anyone from SU, Cracovia, or RF for that matter. Anyway, GEU got a bit of a lesson at the hands of #1 ranked PAU on the weekend. Have to try to bounce back this week coming up away to DMU.

13. Portuguese Club of Vancouver (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 11). This side is, much like Mrs. Sir M, rather moody. Unlike Mrs. Commando, however, the mood is not always bad. Lost a, unlike you know who again, tight one on the weekend. Tough game away to Westside next.

14. Vancouver Firefighters (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 13). Were idle this past weekend. I am listening to the Yankees/Indians game as I write this, and just heard that the Cleveland video guy is named Phil McCrackin’. I am totally serious. Away over at West Van next.

15. Mission FC Blues (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 15). Les bleus had a tidy little win over White Rock on the weekend by a 3-0 score. Home to Abbotsford next, a game which staff predict this team can win.

16. Delta Metro United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 17). This team defeated a side in a tough 1-0 battle this weekend, a few of which are in between jobs, and as such are Sikhing employment. At home to GEU Thunder this coming weekend, in which should be a very interesting game. If you are into that kind of thing.

17. Langley All Blacks (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 18). Much like Sir M last weekend, this side saw no action, again. Away to the #1 ranked PAU in the latest renewal of an age old rivalry coming up.

18. Richmond United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 14). This Richmond side dropped their first points of the year against Meralomas in a game staff say they should have won. Meralomas have a great clubhouse though. In fact that venue was the stepping off point for Sir M’s original walk of shame many years back. But, enough about me. Away to the team with the greatest name in Masters Football next: The 22nd Avenue Lions. Growl.

19. Vikings (NSCL. Last week’s rank: 19). This side did not play on the weekend, and staff report they instead spent this last week recharging their batteries burning stuff and eating raw meat up in Greenland, with quite a bit of time spent rubbing blood over their faces for some reason. Travel south to face Lynn Valley Azteca coming up.

20. Wickham FC (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 20). Another loss for this beleaguered side drops them two spots, again. But they have a game this week that staff report they should win.

Well there you have it for this week. Best of luck to all teams this week, and may the best teams win.

 

[The Big Dipper]

Here is a ranking for you....

The Big Dipper's top 1 TTP'er who:

Spend all of his free time doing up stupid rankings to try and make new friends.

Thinks it is funny to mention how he is a alcholic and how his wife tries to kill him/makes him sleep on the couch/ etc in every post.

Mentions in every single comment about how me drank too much, he is in the doghouse, how his wife isn't giving him any, blah blah, blah.


Staff report that the winner of this ranking has no life, and sits on TTP 24 hrs a day and tries to re-live his youth by hanging out at the Roxy.


The winner:

Sir M - who by the way, cannot talk right now, as he drank too much on the weekend, and his wife is mad at him, so he is sleeping on the couch, while she is trying to kill him. Staff report he is getting no sex, as evidenced by every 5th post he makes stating this. Staff also report that he tries way too hard to be funny.

Much like Sir M last weekend, this side saw no action, again.

Man, you cannot even make this stuff up. Is this guy for real?

 

[BlazeArmy]

What, no Indo teams to hack on in this thread?

 

[The Big Dipper]

Wow, a Blazearmy post that didn't mention the Landing or an essay on Holly Turf. Amazing.

 

[colemanj]

Drinks too much on the weekend, in trouble with women, getting too little sex, fancies himself as a bit of a card... sounds familiar...

I have heard that badminton leagues are excellent for tippling, whipped, uptight, serious types -- Little Ladle, don't despair though, you can still enjoy soccer as a Chelsea supporter.

As to predictive algorithms on this weekend results, have run numerous regressions on this week's matches, and the one that sticks out -- possible mathematical MOTW -- is Wickham vs Cracovia. Here we have a team relying on the strength of housing starts (finally rising this week) vs a team negatively correlated with the number of city managers living west of Alma. The obvious heteroscedasticity of Cracovia goals against aside, I am predicting a Wickham foray into the top 15.

Otherwise, looks like mostly draws -- think I will spend the weekend in Edmonton.

Seriously.

 

[Sir M]

For everyone's information, in case you are interested, Sir M's Excellent Power Rankings will be delayed this week while things such as the point of this endeavour are re-evaluated.

Sir M.

 

[SCK]

while things such as the point of this endeavour are re-evaluated.


That sounds rather scary....We hope things are okay....
SCK

 

[Regs]

I agree with SCK... FWIW, I really enjoyed the SMEPR each week and look forward to the read - it's discussed at every BRM training session.

Seriously.

 

[Sir M]

Regs and SCK (speaking of the Roxy), I was just PMSing a bit, as the Red Sox are losing again.

And, all of a sudden I cannot get a taxi anywhere for some reason.

I figure tomorrow eve they will be out (the rankings, not the Red Sox hopefully).

And big moves in those rankingsthis week.

 

[biggs]

Good to see you out at our game the other day hopefully we'll sneak in the top 20. 2 new signings both over 35 and finally Ty has hit the magical mark even getting on the score sheet last week.

 

[Sir M]

It was quite a nice goal too I thought.

 

[Sir M]

Ok, sorry for the delay. But we have been meeting with the Customer Service Department here at the rankings over the past several days. The Chest has pointed out that a certain customer has characterized these rankings as being "stupid" and not "funny". But then The Chest clearly got very upset at a certain customer calling Sir M an "alcohlic" (sic), with "no life" (true), who was "trying way hard to be funny". Now everyone should bear in mind that The Chest is very loyal to Sir M, who pried him away from the living hell of the Northwest Cable Toss circuit to give him a job here at the rankings. But I must admit I have not seen the big fellow like this in a while: yelling, beating himself about the head, repeatedly inhaling smelling salts and ammonia, liberally slapping chalk all over his face and ample torso, (and of course there were the associated nose bleeds).

But, ultimately staff were able to calm down The Chest, utilizing one of our favourite guidelines here at these rankings: "when the going gets tough, transfer to the FVSL". (Oops, wrong one). What I meant was: "look at the bright side". So, staff accordingly have pointed out that Sir M, or a by now thick skinned rankings staff were thankfully not referred to by our customer as being "muckers, farmers, someone who barely finished Grade 10, hick, muckwad, unskilled mucker (worse than a mucker), retard, a joke, or a crybaby".

So that is a good thing.

Staff have taken in this constructive criticism, and now go forth with a "little bit less of how Sir M's wife is high maintenance" edition of this week's...

Sir M's Excellent Power Rankings:

1. Peace Arch United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 1). Won 2-0 over LAB, but barely hold on to their spot, as Columbus and others are closing. Home next to Delta. The Andriy Shevchenko of Master's football's lobbying today did not hurt their cause for the coveted #1 spot at all.

2. Columbus F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 2). Defeated Sapp at Sapperton Park this weekend, 3-1. Staff report a Sal sighting illegally parked in front of the London Drugs at Hastings and Penticton this afternoon, where it looked like he was purchasing a fan. Home to Cliff next. MOTW. Full stop.

3. Cliff Ave. United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 4). These guys had a convincing win over Metro Ford on the weekend. As stated above, away to Columbus next week.

4. Surrey United (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 3). Surrey tied at home this last week, so drop one spot. Away to PCOV on Friday in a match where they will be seeking payback.

5. ICSF Inter (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 5). Staff want to move this side up but, decided against it. Nice tie out in Cloverdale on the weekend (SMEPR fashion consultants are bristling at that reference). Home to Sapp next.

6. West Van F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 8). Up two spots after their 2-0 defeat of Firemen on Friday. Away to Metro-Ford this Friday.

7. S.F.C. Rangers (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 9). Up two spots after another in a FVSL series of beatings of new team White Rock. Away to Abbotsford on Friday next. Staff are predicting a similar result. Which could make Abbotsford, and some others, somewhat sad.

8. Portuguese Club of Vancouver (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 13). As Eagles would say: "Wow". Up a big 5 spots after an emphatic 3-1 defeat of Westside. Home to Surrey United on Friday. Which team will show up for this one?

9. Westside F.C. (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 6). See the immediately above reference. Away to Cracovia next.

10. Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 7). Back down to #10 after their loss to Cliff this past weekend. Home to West Van next, in a replay of last Spring's VMSL Master's Cup final.

11. Sapperton Rovers (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 10). Drop another spot after their second straight home loss. Away to Inter next, a chance to right the ship.

12. Aldergrove United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 11). They beat Sikh by a converted touchdown on the weekend. In the FVSL these days boys, if you want to move up, you have to at least humiliate a team 9 or 10 nothing. Down one. Away up at GEU next. Perhaps Moneyman can shed some light on what may happen in that game.

13. Delta Metro United (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 16). This team defeated GEU (ahem) 7-0 on the weekend. Big game over at PAU on Sunday. FVSL MOTW.

14. Vancouver Firefighters (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 14). Played this last weekend, but lost over at West Van. Home to Wickham next: could move up.

15. Mission FC Blues (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 15). Les bleus hold their spot with a win where they did not run up the score. Away to Sikh next.

16. Nordic FC (NSCL. Last week's rank: not ranked). This side is back into the top 20 after a tidy win on the weekend, one which Sir M took in. They play Seymour next, a team which is led by a guy that has sucked on way to many "water bongs" in the Mahon Park changeroom.

17. Wickham FC (VMSL. Last week’s rank: 20). First win of the year for Wickham moves them up. Away to VFF next.

18. Coveside FC (NSCL. Last week's rank: not ranked). This side is back where they belong after a win against Norvan on Sunday when numerous players and certainly their coach were really hung over and/or drunk. Impressive win though. Lupo next.

19. Golden Ears Thunder (FVSL. Last week’s rank: 12). Fortunes can change rather quickly in these rankings. This side was at #7 but two weeks ago, and are now struggling for a hold in the top twenty. The solution may be an injection of cash by Moneyman, I don't know. Or if they get a result against Aldergrove this weekend, that would certainly work.

20. Vikings (NSCL. Last week’s rank: 19). The Vikings defeated the Aztecs by a 1-0 score on the weekend. They play Norvan next, in an old NSCL rivalry.

So see you all next week. Lets all get along.

 

[SCK]

Thanks for the most excellent rankings Sir M. Still think you put us and SU a little high...You gave us a real scare with the theatrics on previous posts btw. Keep up the good work regardless of what others say...Sal sighting illegally parked in front of the London Drugs at Hastings and Penticton where it looked like he was purchasing a fan??

I'm guessing he is planning for his big trip...

 

[Scottyshell]

Will we be playing "footie" this week or water polo.....anyone who has been to South Memorial Park and viewed the field stuck in the middle between theduck pond and the driveway will surely agree that I believe our game against Wickham will be a water polo match with a few ducks as referees (they would probably do a better job from what I've seen lately)....anways...carry on boys..........good ole BC soccer weather!

Cheers!

now where did I put that rye??????
