[VMSL Division 2] Predictions, Results & Banter February, 2006

[bonefish]

February's predicitions, reports and NK rants go here.....

[watcher]

NK rant #1....Green Devils signed, sealed and delivered by our old friends............................. the JB's. Personally the Watcher feels that the Nomads (who while being unbelievably fortunate, showed great fire in the worst of conditions to steal "I mean really steal" a point from NK) will finish ahead of the wannabe Devil Worshippers who will end up being nothing more than fifth place middle of the pack also rans. Its going to be nice to see their faces when they come to that realization after the NK tilt at David Lam.

Predictions for this week are NK, Douglas Park and Nomads win.

Norvan JB's 3 Devils 2

It was gut check time last night for the JB's. Some questionable reffing, horrible misses and the JB's found themselves down 2-0. With 25 mintues left the JB's dug deep and scored 3 for the win. I don't think I've ever seen so many divers on one team as I did with the Devils last night.

With the amount of rain we're getting I hope Adanac is closed for this Sunday's tilt vs NK. I would hate to have the pitch decide the game.

[FCbytca]

adanac would still be better than freakin champlain hights, you should have seen that pos on sunday, it was ok for the begining but the second half was hilarious, everyone wuz just freakin slipin, i wish i had a cam corder....

[Therapist]

Let's just play on the turf then! He he.

And Spud, I think my breasts are bigger than Tanya's.

personally the watcher is a retard who obviously should stay standing in the sidelines and shut up.As that is exactly what your name suggests.the only reason why you slag us is because you know that we outplayed ye in the match and ye dont like that and cant accept it,well to be fair your coach did.all yere talk about going unbeaten has gone down the drain,all yere talk about winning the league easy has gone down the drain and as we speak all yere talk about getting promoted is going down the drain,ye can talk the talk but obviously just cant walk the walk.

the referee was not very good for both sides,the penalty was borderline at best for us i admit but after that he gave every decision yere way,it was so frustrating,ye had two good chances in the first half which should have been goals and played the ball around well,JBs have a strong midfield,to say that we have a lot of divers is a bit harsh in all fairness,JBs have a tendancy to go through a player especially defenders and give away a lot of fouls,JBs deserved their win although to lose the game by an own goal with one of the last kicks of the game was sickening.

[bonefish]

If we had given up that goal I am sure I would have had the same feeling...wait, I did throw-up Monday night but that was due to some bad-ass Crab Fettucinni from Sunday night...
We are usually a more physical team and at some positions have a pretty good size advantage. The worst part about the calls was the affect on the flow of the game. Finishing has been a problem for a squad for most of the year. Our goal total should be easily 15 goals higher. We have also had a lack of "lucky bounces". Had that ball came through the defender there were 2 JimBeam players, one on each post who would have had a crack at it.
In my estimation, your organization was better than what NK put forth in our first game with them. It seemed that you were having trouble using all of the players on field effectively.

Another key factor in the JBs - GD game was the subs. Once we got that lazy ass Therapist off and the stellar Bones and I on the game turned for us

Look forward to NK this weekend as well as seeing the results of the other big games this weekend. Hopefully the weather man is good to us all.

What a coincidence: you've had 15 touches this season, no?

i agree,we were unable to keep possession of the ball for long enough,i believe that the surface played some part in that but also our inability to pass the ball on the night.we couldnt get players on the ball enough but i think that had a lot to do with how the JBs midfield played.i think the JBs stopper was nearly twice the size of our goalie,

You basically have to take any 50/50 ball played to him and subtract 20-30% from the other player.

So legally that would make your Keep a midget.

my dear devilette, what are you watching. you can't play with us so you should be proud of the point you got. after this weekend and after taking care of JB's I hope your english a$$ can cool off and realize that this is a two horse race and you're a distanced 4th...

Hey coach, Looks like the Adnac SE is closed for the weekend. Would you and your team care to make a trip back to Confederation Turf on Monday night to set the record straight? It looks like it is open.

ByTheWay, Devils Advocate is not English or was that a piss-take? Either way, expect a vociferous reply.

A Premier Team has been given the time slot so you are off the hook...

Third best team in Division 2B, you mean. Their ranking would be in the double digits if you take the whole division...

[Oggy]

There was an extended whinge posted here, but after further game cancellations were posted on the Excellent Site, it is no longer relevant. Disregard.

Agreed. 2C has been called the weaker division a few times on this site and I have to say, in my opinion, it's not true. SPH, from what I understand is a merger between 2 already strong teams- they'd be at or near the top in any group. Kosova, Bombastic, and Yaletown are also good teams. In 2A, the top 3 teams- Signmaster, Belmont, and Burnaby consistently put up winning records, year in and year out. While 2B may be the strongest from top to bottom since mid-table teams (Nomads) and even bottom teams (ie Richmond) are capable of ties or even wins against top teams, that doesn't mean that there isn't quality in the other groups.I guess I'll put my money where my mouth is - I'm picking SPH to win the div2 cup.
