VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March/April and now May and maybe June 2007

[Sir M]

New month and the season is drawing to a close. Quite a few spots up for grabs re Cup seedings and Provincial spots.

Congrats to both Surrey Utd and Metro Ford for clinching the first two spots, and to Cliff Avenue for getting promoted.

Who will achieve the final four Provincial spots from the VMSL?

When is the fricken draw and when is the first round - we still gotta knock off SCK's bunch for fun before this all starts - RZ will end up with laryngitis after we finish with them - what is it with goalies anyways - do they really think they have to yell about everything and try to be emotional - maybe too many shots to the head ?

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

Goalies...They are either too fat, too "bright", or too slow....

Both of ours a prime example of the above. We'll see about Sunday my friend. A win against the big boys would be good before the cup round. Has anyone else beat you guys twice this year??

I heard the league cup draw is out...Any ideas where it is?

Yep...didn't you look at the standings page...Westside has already done that to us this year although we literally "threw" that game away....one of our back up keepers..no names mentioned...threw the ball right up the middle of the park to JC's foot and he quite nicely deposited it back in the corner of the goal..2-1 with 5 mins left...that was at the beginning of the season...long long time ago..

Cheers!

Thanks Scotty. I can always count on you for updating the Firemen games...

In case you didn't know, the league cup draw is officiallly this coming Saturday. All 12 premier and top two in div. 1. Whoever draws Cliff Ave. don't expect an easy game...

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

The top 4 Premier teams, I am advised, are going to be seeded. There is a way to go though, based on the schedule, in determining which will be the second Div 1 side eligible for cup play. And of course some Premier Div games to go, although not nearly as many as Division One.

 

[Scottyshell]

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

Awwww who wants to be seeded anyway...puts more pressure on yourselves...we'll just go on our merry way...on the fringe..I think that's how we played it last year...

Cheers!

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

For once I agree with you Scottyshell. We are hoping to use your approach this year as well. Especially after finishing in the top two the last couple of years and not getting the results...
I am trying to remember the last time a team won the league standings and still managed to win it all....

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

Ok Ok....didn't want to say anything but Regs brought it out of me...2000/2001 VFF's...League Champs,League Cup Champs,BC Champs,Western Canadian Champs.....you asked SCK...someting to shoot for Regs although didn't you guys do a triple in O30's??

Cheers!

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

Scotty, we're going to be needing a second on that claim...Stew, do you have the stats from back then? I seem to recall winning a few League-related things with Westside during that era...and Columbus as well.

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

Scotty,

No idea if SU did, that was before my time... Peg did the open triple 3 years ago though if that counts (minus league)...

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

I've got email going back that far and, after looking back, I know we didn't win the league that year..I seem to recall a tough loss to the Firemen at the Port Moody turf around then in the League Cup final as well so maybe Scotty is right although I think their BC's were the O-35's as opposed to the (tougher) O-30's.

as opposed to the (tougher) O-30's.

Nice Dig , albeit only a few inches deep.

 

[Scottyshell]

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

No..you guys are right but I didn't say it was in the O30's league..at that time it was an O35's league...we even had ugly t-shirts made...butt ugly...

Cheers!

 

[peter]

Re: VMSL Masters, Results and Banter, March 2007

I beg to differ, it was the WCOTSL. The OT stood for Over 30. There were two options for the BC's however, O-30's and O-35's.

Picky Picky....doesn't matter now...all in the past....

Nice to see all 3 Div 1 teams in the same half of the draw

Pretty much every game in the bottom half looks to be tough.
