[VMSL Masters 2007/08] September/October Results & Banter

[SCK]

It's bury, as in dig a hole. Not burry as in cold. And it should be weak, as in not strong. Not week as in don't post for a few weeks.

T-Idiot. Take it easy on Hose. After all, he went to school in East Van...I think that he may have attended AR Lord Elem...I don't think they had English class back then for the Italians...

the spelling .. could care less about .. the disrespect .. well it is TTP
enough said

 

[SCK]

My predictions(hope they are better than Regs...)

West Van FC/Columbus FC
Great matchup. Battle of offenses. Sounds like WV are scoring goals...so are Columbus. WV in a close one

Wickham FC/Coq. Metro-Ford Wolves
MF struggling lately. I think Wickham will take them tonight.


Cliff Ave. United "A"/ ICSF Inter
A good test for Cliff...Are they for real? Will Inter score more than one?
W for Inter.

Sapperton Rovers/PCOV "A"
Sapp looked decent last week. Sapp win.

Surrey United/Cracovia FC
The big question is: how many will Murray or MM get?
Westside FC "A"
Firefighters FC
FF looking for a win. Not this weekend though. WFC will win.

sck,
i notice that you have 5 of the 6 winners coming from side B in these crossover matches and that the only one coming from your side happens to be a team you probably can't pick to lose. Are you trying to say that one side happens to be much stronger than the other.

 

[colemanj]

WV 2 - Columbus 1. KC with another to open scoring. WV with two in the second: AE on a little clip over the keeper and CB on a PK.

Quick run over to the treefort to warm up, Wickham 7 - MF 1... got there late, Wickham playing with 10 men but up 4-0 already. What was that about side B?

 

[SCK]

I think that means I'm 2-0. Hose, what happened with the "D" last night??
SCK

 

[sarge]

Full marks to WV for the win last night. We definately had an off night. Besides the first 20 minutes, we generated nothing going forward. Stay tuned as I'm sure Hose will give a more indepth analysis of the game.

 

[JAGS]

We definately had an off night.

Sarge,

Isn't usually having 'an off night' from the quality of the play of your opponent on the night.

Anyway, good match and too bad the Ref was not at the level of the two teams. As usual, you ran a marathon in the midfield.

Cheers,
JAGS

I wonder who that could be??

1-0 Cliff Ave over Inter.

Spirited contest between East Van rivals. Nicely taken glancing header by Joe Giovinazzo from a well-struck Dino Ferrara cross.

Cliff has obviously been following Delta Metro Blaze tactics from the open premier division. They did not have many chances but capitalized on the one clear chance they had.

All in all, time well wasted on Sunday morning.

 

[freddy]

Westside 0 - Firemen 2. I just got the report as I am in Scottsdale. 2 controversial goals called back on us that would have had us up 2-1. Apparently we gave up the second goal near the end while pressing. If ands were buts, I suppose . . . very sad, indeed The boys will be drowning their sorrows in plenty of alcohol to forget this one

Mind you, I think this plays well into lulling the opposition into expecting less of us

 

[SCK]

I would agree with Oranje and his comments that Cliff ONLY had one chance...and they finished it off nicely.

However, a few more details are needed. We really had the run of play the entire match. Only to miss a few breakaways and one off the crossbar. Cliff showed very little...the big question is how they have all of those wins??

A straight red was given to one of their subs who came in and really hurt Cliff defensively in the second half. Mario made some key saves but we really deserved this one. Back to Sir M.'s group next week. Maybe we can take it out on them... At least we'll be back on grass. We really shouldn't be playing on that turf..Ouch!!

BRM 3-0 Cracovia

Not much to say, we hit about 10 posts/crossbars. Good bunch of guys on Cracovia, if they get more bodies out I think they will surprise a few teams.

BRM 3-0 Cracovia

Not much to say, we hit about 10 posts/crossbars. Good bunch of guys on Cracovia, if they get more bodies out I think they will surprise a few teams.

..............and to add, if Cracovia stops relying on the offiside trap so much and have faith in their defenders to do the orthodox job, they will cease to suffer from inaccurate lopsided defeats. The fact today is if we had a referee calling the offside trap more carefully, Cracovia could have lost by a much larger difference. We ran the trap very well, but still got called. So frustrating!!!

A good run on and off the pitch. The Poles, they can drink!

 

[SCK]

The poles CAN drink. Just look at the empties they used to leave at Strathcona Park....

It seems that Firefighters, as you know,always play well against a good bunch of West End Boys. I would say that playing on the "postage stamp of Quilchina" helped, thinking Scottshell and the boys are not in mid season shape!!!!!!!!until April.....

 

[Scottyshell]

What does "mid season" shape look like anyway? That's why we carry a lot of spare "tires" on our team....haha...who's got time to go to a gym or run on their own (boring as hell)...now our "job" says no more workouts involving "competition"......too many "owies"...back to the couch where it's safe...haha...where's the clicker?

Cheers!

No more workouts involving competition? Like Grecko-Roman wrestling? Ultimate fighting? Walleyball? What exactly? On the job or off the job?

Off to the gym. Meeting all my teammates for some circuit training.
