CS - I did not see you there, you are "omnipresent"!!
A really fun game to watch, nevermind coach. Craiger was a phenom in goal - he hasn't been that horizontal since his wedding nite!
Anyway, good back and forth stuff, we had some nice interplay at times with two really fine goals and a...
Gloucester Boy - the score was indeed no reflection on possession, you guys had plenty. I could not believe how many crosses were put in and how many were put over the top. It seemed like all your chances were spurned and all of ours went in. Anyway, the play was good from both sides. Vaughn...
Congrats to Sapp - although asking the same questions of the Hurricanes and feeling sorry for Gary and some of the others - some decent guys there and they play some nice football too. Still, commitment is fundamental at this level.
Me too CS!! - seriously though, as one who used to practice tax (CA), I can tell you that while the sponsors may not be able to deduct the expense, the payments to the players would be considered income (just as the cash paid to referees is also income :()
Whether CRA cares or not may not...
I agree - I thought their ball movement and technical stuff was very good. They were not physical enough (due to their youth?) and the ball stayed in one zone too long and then was played too long against our big back line. If they get past this, they could be a handful. They are one of those...
Glad you brought that up SmartCoach - for quite a while now I have noticed turf fields having worn out (crap to start with) nets, grass pitches not looked after, etc.
Big question - what the hell are we paying for?? Is there any way that the VMSL brass can organize to put some pressure on the...
Hold it right there Shriner! Their dad was born in Nuneaton, not far from Liverpool. Liverpool is known as the capital of Ireland (if you don't get that joke, you are definitely not from around there) so therefore they qualify.
Well thanks for the vote of confidence:D
Like I said, we played essentially with 9 guys, and we had 5 starters missing.
They scored one from 35+ yards that Val is still looking for, and I tip my hat, they played much better than previously.
Hi Dezza - a combination of things - we played with 10 men due to absence, injury and exams -we played with one injured player, and also, we played a team with some new and better players (at least we ground out a tie - they beat Estrella the following week) and finally, the guys are shaking...
Club I Champ is right - naysayers are the opposition and applauders are insiders - the former recalls the first 7 games and the latter sees the progression. I guess the naysayers will just have to wait to see/play RFC again and the insiders will have to try to avoid spraining their shoulders...
What I am pointing out is that CS was referring to SAPP's late challenges and pushing, very little of which the ref picked up. As to type of play, Richmond really is playing now with more possession and intent. I believe that they beat Delta last week which is a team with more points, so??? And...
What CS is saying is that whatever the style - Sapp were brutal off the ball and that Miro did not do his job - period. If you think that constitutes a "style" OK then. As to Richmond, its a team in transition from some longer play to better possession and I commend them for it. I don't know...
I saw that - it's too bad that Wickham and Friends find themselves in this position - helping to make numbers for CAT and then getting hammered like that.
There are probably some U21 teams that could do better - Metro Ford for example - why play against youngsters when you can blood your...
It WAS a good win for Richmond - and CS is right - the follow throughs after the ball was played by Sapperton were brutal - the ref was a joke today.
FCN your enthusiasm for the youngsters is laudable but lets remember that there are 11 guys on the pitch not 3. There was some very good work...
Cheers - but I think the point is that almost no one has a "clue" whatever this guy babbles on about - If he had spelled Herod properly it still wouldn't clarify his point - if you can't communicate so as to be understood then why communicate?:rolleyes:
"I tell you one thing I wish Ivan P played for me. He would be heck of a player if some one new how to train him. Richmond is a lucky side to have him.
"
Riiiight - if you coach like you post -he would need a shrink at the end of each session.
Nice slam on his past and current coaches :)
Similar to Westside a couple of years back - they made no room for, and were extremely hard on newcomers - for instance, that would be no place for Ivan P to grow into the game - and he does have things to learn, as all the young ones do. Richmond has the opportunity for players to move up and...
If you are going to whine, you should at least be accurate - RCIU has 3 19 year olds and only 1 20 year and the rest are 18 with 2 barely 18 - they beat you today with kids basically the same age and you had 1 overage and so did they, their goalie. Junction is right, the club system allows two...
