Dickens, yes indeed. We spotted them 2 in the first 15, due to...go figure...Cliff wanting it more, and several no shows.
Some players on the West Van Masters team lack character, and it is costing the team as a result. Plus, all the goaltenders did not attend the game, so that is a challenge when the captain (an outfield player) had to play in goal.
It is the manager's job to fix this problem, according to staff.

Not much to write here. It is hard to do much more than tie if you don't shoot on net. I think we had 1 shot the whole game. Richmond were hungrier, hit a couple of posts, Merks made a nice save, but we gave up a shitty one from the back on their goal. They deserved the win.
Richmond 1 - 0 Westside
Freddy hit the nail on the head.......we wanted this game more........evident that @ 9:30 we had 18 guys out dressed and running across the field while Westside had one loan soldier putting up both nets solo
We came out well and should have been up at least a goal in the firist half only to miss some quality chances but we never game them a sniff.
The second half was more of the same until Merkle and the back four turned the ball over and Tor slotted home the eventual winner with still 30 minutes remaining.
Smally and Dancin Bear could never get the there engines going today........actually no one could with the job the man in the middle played in today's match. He gave out at least 6 yappin yellows and mysteriously was calling fouls on players that neither team could understand He was just awful............but at least consitently awful.
Side note.........what a fcukin brilliant morning to be playing soccer! Just a fabulous day and really if you didn't want to play and play well today, well you shouldn't be playing at all. I am sure it is about to rain consistently any day now until February but for today at least.........it doesnt' get any better than that!
Cheers,
JP

Westside vs Richmond Utd -A WS letdown after that monsterous tie last week.
Cliff Ave vsWest Van FC - It'll take another week before WV finds their groove
Columbus vs Inter - Tie
Metro Ford vs PCOV - This one won't be close
Surrey Utd vs Sapperton - That always dangerous "sandwich" game for Sapp. Must avoid the early game coffee gitters and break out early, go down to 10 men, and win it late.
5 for 5, well 3 for 3.
Do I win something?

Sapp 3 - SU 1
Couple of observations:
1. I rag on the refs all the time, so finally we had a good ref in the middle, and kudos to him. Cap Sham played the game and knew what to look for. He made one off-the-ball call that most refs would never see. What the hell is he doing reffing us? He should be reffing the open prem. Even Kent, "Mister by the book soccer rule knowledge guy", didn't yap once - that's a miracle.
2. Regs and a couple other players are the only guys SU have that either are in shape or actually care. Down 3-0, while most others just watched, he was busting his ass. It had to be frustrating.
We were on today and everything went our way. If we played like that every game, no one would owe us points. But that level of play will be hard to maintain.

Like I wrote, Westside's game-of-the-season was last week. That big tie had them partying until late last night. So you knew there would be a huge letdown this week. They'll now re-group and get back to there winning ways.

WAB, can't agree more. Capt. Shamrock had a great game. It is nice to have a ref that is competent and consistant.

I didn't realise they would actually be playing at the same time. I thought Brinks could only insure one of them per game when bringing them to the match.
Oh well, I'll know next time.- Status
