I'll probably just walk.

Nothing good to say about this one, too many key players down and out -- nothing in the quiver to reach for tonight. Poorest outing of the season by far, not really in the game from the get go.
Roger came off his death bed to try and help out in goal, but no point in killing him, so back in the nets for the second half.
Took an hour for the first goal, but looked to be only a matter of time and it finally was.
Can only hope to get the club together and get the numbers back out. Looks a lot more promising for next week, but time will tell.
Did I say it was disappointing?
Sir M said:It finished 3-0 Coach, we thought we would help out our hosts by slotting the third into our own net, as if they needed help. And don't apologize Coach, good read: yes a lot of the big guns were not there, but most of those that were there today, some with the opportunity perhaps to earn a spot, did not show up, SU by far outworked us. Anyway, enough about that, lets talk about...
West Van's Excellent Road Trip Sunday:
It all started on Saturday eve actually with a drunken call to warn Sir M to go wake (name witheld) Sunday morning who was well into celebrating a rare Saturday Premier side victory. And not good news on the soccer front, Stevie Mac (not there Sunday) hosting a big Halloween party at his place and Besty's Westside Shooters Halloween Howl featuring "naughty nurses" over at Dix on Beatty St. this same eve before the early morning tilt far, far away against the #1 ranked SU. Also, good news for Cap College, by the way, 3 goals in the last 2 games Cap coach Jinky calls to advise the college side have won on Sat and he wont be returning. Cap have a very good shot at winning the BC title on Sunday up in Kamloops by the way (havent looked at the result yet but if this Sunday goes the way its been going...).
Get the call advising this same little celebrator will be late because of Sat eve until he realizes coming over the Port Mann that its daylight savings and he will be on time after all ...arrives and is sick and has to come off after 25. Last years 15 goal man Danny (our 13th player) advises before kickoff he has been bed ridden last two days with a (real ) flu.
Arrive at C.A.P....OK 4 no shows, but 13 will do maybe, but no parking. Then , no change room, (SU lads had advised earlier no pints either due to special circumstances). Anyway the SU boys (who by the way are the classiest bunch we have come up against this year) let us share their changeroom/little clubhouse to get changed. But there is a weird looking Scottish guy (reminds me a bit of an older JAGS) who sits there and watches all of the players get dressed, and then leaves.
So we head out, miss a few chances early, Spada is done after 20, give up one on a set piece, and then another on a set piece, Danny goes home sick, and:
Then theres a freezing rain hurricane.
Now things are getting really serious, Sir M's hair is not at all perfect anymore, and Peg (oops I mean WV) score on their own net and take the biggest whupping this side has ever endured. So back for a shower, no pints, no parking, and, tails betwixt legs, head back to the shore for lunch and a pint.
Then theres a 45 minute noon on a Sunday traffic jam on the Port Mann.
But, alas, endure that, back to sponsoring Seymours Pub for lunch.
Then theres the PMSing bitchy pub waitress (I mean server) .
1 P.M.: Sir M: "Hi waitress, would it be OK if we got one of those team sheets that you give to teams this establishment sponsors when we come back here after our game by any chance?"
Waitress: "SERVER!! you troglodyte! (clearly this one studied more than just women's studies up at Cap) I suppose you use the word 'STEWARDESS' too... moron."
130 P. Sir M: "Hi, um, Server, sorry, just wondering, I know you are busy and everything, just wondering, any news on that team sheet by any chance?"
Server (I know better shes probably on this site): "LOOK. YOU WILL GET FREE BEER, IF YOU NEED IT SO MUCH. UNDERSTAND? RELAX, YOU GUYS KEEP ORDERING DRINKS WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, PART THE RED SEA?"
Which in essence, if you think of it, is exactly what we did not do today.
Compliments to SU.
PS: At Ambleside, its always sunny, lots of pints, no annoying children or midget American football players, or politicians, lots of parking. Hot showers, BBQs...and yes nubile women frequently run naked across the field and I am not making that up.
But I just bet Surrey waitresses are friendlier.
