Decent game last night between VUFC and Coq. 1-0 at half for Rangers, probably should have been more but keeping with the theme this season we couldn't finish 2 golden opportunities. Coq had a couple of decent chances as well, but nothing quite as good as the chances we duffed. Our keeper made...
Our centre d-man said he saw green between ball and goal line on the playing side of the goal line. Wasn't even close to going in but ref decided to call it a goal... after 5 seconds. Our centre defender had time to get control of the ball, turn and pass it to the outside at which time the ref...
CMF 6 - VUFC 1
We got our ass handed to us. Wasn't even close. No effort on our part. We were down early and there was no response to some early goals. Still trying to figure out our system and new faces - and last night it showed.
Rangers 3 - Norvan 2
They scored first and last. We scored 3 in between. Decent game. We prob carried a bit more of play but pretty even overall. Not our best effort but a grind it out type of game.
In fairness to the Lomas, the 1st half was pretty even. The 2nd goal shank was unreal though - see one of those about once every 7 years. 2nd half was one way traffic. Must have been 80+% possession for VanU. But like bandcamp says, we just couldn't get the ball past the pipes.
I left Hillcrest today at 3pm after having some post-game bevvies after our Masters game. Dasmesh and Unicorns were at half and Unicorns were up 2-0. Unicorns looked dangerous and scored 1 minute in, than again about 15 mins later. Dasmesh looked like a different team on grass.
Dasmesh 2 - Van Utd 0
One way traffic in 1st half. They must have had 80% possession and we just let them have it. We picked it up towards the half, but it was definitely sloped towards our net for most of the half. They scored an offside goal to go up 1-0. But really they could have been up...
Yeah there was a solid 9" difference in height between the grass around the base pad areas and the "sand" inside them. An ankle break (or worse) waiting to happen. If the league wants to gain any credibility, it should wipe that field off it's inventory for at least 2012/13. Ridiculous.
Having played Polonia and NV in back to back weeks, have to say both teams have totally different styles/strengths. Personally I loved playing against NV - the pace and run n gun type of game was just plain fun to play. Lots of chances both ends and some strong skilled play. Polonia plays a...
Joe's injured. Knee - out til after Christmas. I know all teams go through injuries, but our injured list this year has been nothing short of tragic. We're up to 32 signings just to keep pace with the guys going down. I guess that's what we get for having the average age of the team near the...
For TSA to lose to Sarajevo 5-0, both 2C top dogs had piss poor games. I would expect both teams to put forth a better effort next week in their playoff games.
GFC is a team that has a way of winning in weird ways. We beat them in our first game and then in our rematch they scored in the 90th to beat us 1-0. After the game the ref came over and told us he couldn't believe how we could lose a game after dominating like we did. Our bad though for not...
No it doesn't make too much sense, but when has the league ever made sense in the past?? :confused: I don't think it would take more than 15 minutes to seed the top teams and then draw out of a hat thereafter.
I'm of the opinion that Cup is separate from League play. No reset in League play. I can be a "hard" player at times, but very rarely yap at the ref. In the 14 years I've been playing vmsl I've only ever twice hit the 3 card limit. Those who get 5 or 6 cards a year are either dirty or can't...
Machel - after some of the losses we've incurred this year (where even the ref's have come up to us after the game expressing surprise at the outcome), we'll take the W!
Yeah I would say you guys deserved the game on the 1st half alone. That makes 2 weeks in a row for us with absolutely pathetic performances. Can't afford those showings the next 2 weeks, but all teams go through ups and downs ... just looks like we're at the bottom of our game right now. It's...
