Well summed up by Peg Leg. Tough one to watch from the sidelines while on the IR.
Great rivalry with this Westcoast team, the games are always hard fought and close. Both sides have won big gamesvs the other in cup and league. Too bad we come up short this year, but at least we've...
Great for the D3 squads. 2 of Abby B, Red Devils, Westcoast, and Dynamo will be out after this weekend.
Could be a good year for a surprise cup winner.
Langley Dynamo 2 - 2 Westcoast Misfits
Dynamo win 4-3 in PK's
Won this by the hair on our chinny chin chin.
We walked in very nonchalant and they caught us off guard. Before we knew it we were down 1-0 and playing an opponent who was actually a good side! Clearly the Div 4 label made us...
It's been a tough year for the U-21 teams coming up. They all have plenty of skill but its a huge jump to playing against a group of men on the other side of the ball. I think using Div 2 as the entry level may have been a little ambitious.
One thing I can say is that I hope the kids on those...
It was a textbook @peg leg move too - "fake" the header and have the ball glance off your shoulder in to the corner :bored: It only works if you scream 'Get in!!!' when you do it.
I agree with you all though. A beast on the pitch and at the cooler.
I've generally been in favour of refs taking a stronger stance on early cards to set a tone and to keep games in hand. It's can be a bit of a double-edged sword because we tend to play a physical game but at the end of the day, it's Div 2 and we all need to work on Monday (well, maybe not some...
We were actually down 1-0 in this one from a defensive error. Their winger, #17, has good skill and makes smart runs - pounced on a giveaway and put it far post and in.
Their keeper had an unfortunate night. There were at least 3 errors directly resulting in goals in the first half. They...
Calm before the storm?
Looking forward to another good battle with @krisztiant and the Surrey squad who always give us a good game. Most of their match reports say, 'We need to be better' when describing a win. Not fooling anyone anymore. 1st place on the line tonight - let's please not tie...
Prediction
Dynamo - Dragons - Looking forward to seeing how Dragons play now that they have a few games under their belt. Seemed like a good skilled team in Wk 1.
Surrey 1-4 Mission - Mission seems to be getting their legs under them after a slow start.
Westcoast 2-3 Abby - Abby gets their...
Yes, we got a fine! No word from the referee and no word from league as to who it was or what wasn't matching. Sounds like their books aren't balancing and they are making it our problem.
A good, physical match from both sides, the type of game we like to be a part of. It was pretty defensive for the first portion of the game. We went ahead in the 35th from a corner kick which was cleared but headed back in the mix and then headed in for the first goal. It pays to have two...
Any word on what happened in the Red Devils game? They have been looking strong to start the year, was surprised to see them drop points vs the Dragons.
Predictions
Langley Utd Dynamo - Abbotsford SA Red Devils - Always a good battle with these boys.
Surrey Elite U21 1 - 4 Abbotsford Utd B - This will be a long day for the Surrey kids
Westcoast FC Utd 2 - 1 Aldergrove Utd Lightning - Lightning were strong last year but I think Westcoast will...
It's going to be an interesting year, plenty of new teams to figure out. With Royals and Westcoast back, D2 gains a couple teams who have had lots of success in this division. Not sure how similar the squads are to when they played down previously, but we always had great battles against both...
