Predictions for week 3 - Div 2c

[Platini]

Predictions Div 2C for the weekend of Sep 21-22

JBs - Primos 1:3 (could be a tough contest)
Cliff Ave - West Side 4:1 (should be an easy win)
West Van Royals - Elephant 0:3 (West Van gets exposed)
Champlain H - Point Grey B 2:0 (Those boys deserve a win)
City FC Blaze - Richmond Cougars 5:1 (Not a serious opponent - yet)

[Teelay]

JBs - Primos 2:3 (JBs still not 100% but always play Primos tough)
Cliff Ave - West Side 5:0 (Cliff Ave is fresh from a week off)
West Van Royals - Elephant 1:2 (West Van is apparently tough, but not tough enough )
Champlain H - Point Grey B 3:0 (Pt Grey - yikes)
City FC Blaze - Richmond Cougars 3:1 (The competition is getting tougher for the Blaze)

JBs - Primos 3:2 The Primos quick passing game dies in the tall grasses of Loutet.

Cliff Ave - West Side 3:1 Cliff Ave+HomeField=West Slide Further into the hole.

West Van Royals - Elephant 2:3 West Van bring some more game but it is still not enough.

Champlain H - Point Grey B 4:1 CH quits their interteam-bitching and take a first half commanding lead that they do not give up. WV gets a consolation goal when a hot-head CH Midfielder begins arguing about his substitution as he is trying for his "hattie".

City FC Blaze - Richmond Cougars 5:1 Cougars get crisped a City Team who still look golden after 2 blowouts.

From the two teams that I've seen so far ....

Cliff Ave will win by a land-slide .... unless the Wetslide team is young and able

Champlain Heights --- argue themselves into a tie

Primos vs JBs (the one that counts) .... JBs will come out on top if their keeper situation works out. They have a returning midfielder who will help negate the Primos midfield, plus the old-timer back-field will crunch the Primos forwards. It's a very different JBs from summer time and the Primos will have a hard time handling the JBs. Also, we have Legroom looking to extend his lead as the goalscoring lead .... plus I might try a 'pop' or two from 40-yards out (this seems to work on the odd occassion).
Anyway, my goal predictions are:

If JBs have a decent goalie: Primos 1 vs JBs 3
If no impressive goalie: Primos 2 vs JBs 3

[Platini]

So, the scores are in. It seems that everything went according to plan.

City FC Blaze and Cliff Ave keep cruising .... Elephant exposes West Van as predicted . Primos prevail in the derby match and Champlain show that they can cause a bit of trouble.

Next week Elephant vs City FC is going to be a beauty, too bad I will not be able to see it but Teelay will tells us all about it .

Primos - JBs : tough game, a bit dirty at times. I think better team won. JBs as the season progresses should be able to take points away from City or Cliff or Elephant or Primos ...

[OneRun]

I'm going to stop predicting any future games ....

but as far as the last game went ... it wasn't that dirty and the Primos are a bunch of whiners anyway.

They did play a bit better than us this time but they got three lucky and undeserved goals (sorry for bringing that up Bonefish). Alex's free-kick was very nice though.

We are definately missing Thomas in net ..... but hopefully we can begin to recover some of the misplays that have happened around our net.

[Teelay]

From what I heard that was almost impossible to stop...

What's up with a bunch of yellow cards though - was the reffing that one-sided or were you guys a bit too chippy??

[OneRun]

I'l definately say 'yes' the reffing was in favour of the Primos ... but that (in the end) didn't cause us to lose the game. We are our own worst enemies .....

[bonefish]

I am going to change my name to "Ticking Time Bomb". I made it to 60minutes with just one G.A. and then the back door blew open or should I say... the magical five hole...

The go ahead goal deflected of a player towards the inside corner where it go swatted to the four yd line where it was promptly returned to the opposite corner of the net....

The second to last nail of the proverbial coffin saw Bonefish trying out his invisible hands and legs...what do you know, they work.

Last nail....Since the disappearing hands and legs tricks worked so well, I thought I would give the invisible torso a go...

Really though, as a forward who is usually on the other end of things, I take my hat off to the keepers of the world...
