Went back to France; I think it was simply a case of his visa expiring. Apparently playing for the Greencaps doesn't qualify you for an exceptional athlete work permit. Crazy, I know. With the latest systems around IEC visas, which is where the majority of our pool of players comes from, it...

Greencaps will be without their star French forward Remy Brunet from now on... Hopefully someone else can step up to the plate and fill his boots - but anyone who's seen him play will agree that they are substantial boots to fill. He's got a record of 75 goals in 85 games for the Greencaps -...

So, the first game after your prediction, and the Greencaps lose. Does that mean we can lay the blame entirely at your door... whoever you are?

Can't write off the Greencaps, either. New to this level, but have a great track record, and have had a very similar squad for the past 2 years now.

CAT is becoming stronger because of the high demand to be in Div 3. A lot of teams who can't fit into Div 3 are entering CAT as an alternative, ourselves included. As a result, some of the teams are ambitious and are looking to compete. Winning CAT doesn't guarantee you anything, but it...

Hi All, Has anyone got their practice fields sorted for the winter season, and would be interested in sharing? There doesn't appear to be an awful lot of spaces left to rent out - so the next best thing is seeing if anyone has something booked but wants to reduce their costs by renting the...

No, its about whether pro footballers should be allowed to return to professional football after serving time inside. Focusses on Swindon Town signing Luke McCormick who killed two young lads when he was driving over the drink-drive limit.

In relation to a conversation I was having with a few friends recently, I decided to create a new post on my blog, which admittedly has gone a while without a new update. Anyway, the article can be read here: Have Boots, Will Travel: Once a Convict, Always a Convict? and discusses ex-convicts...

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately I won't be making every Whitecaps games, do I don't think I'll manage to do a full report for every game. But its a nice idea.

My opinion on kick-and-run, for what its worth... If it wins games, then what does it matter? I mean, obviously everyone should strive for playing good, attractive football. But at the end of the day, if you go out trying to play a passing style, and lose, then your worse off than playing...

Hi All, I'd like to link you all to my blog, Have Boots, Will Travel. The latest entry is a match report from the Whitecaps v DC United game and can be found here. There's a mix of articles, which I try to update as much as possible. Some of it is Whitecaps related, some of it English...

Incase anyone's interested, we managed to lose our first game this season yesterday. Unfortunately, it came against the 8th ranked team, in the first round of the playoffs. A team who lost 12 times in 18 games, and had a goaldifference of negative 63. We started absolutely terribly, and...

But I'd imagine that if certain clubs have a certain footing within the league committee, that they will see themselves gaining some sort of priority.

Cos that would be far too sensible :big-smile:

Westside as in, the club. They have a Prem team (soon to be Div 1 by the look of it) and 2 CAT teams. Plus a few Overs teams. I'm worried we might not get a spot in the VMSL Div 3 if we're applying as an individual team (rather than a club), and end up in the CAT Div, which is not what we...

I'm gonna sound like a right w*anker here, but if they finished near the bottom of the league, I'd imagine they have a lot of dead wood. So I'd be 'fusing' with them, and then ditching all their players. Hardly think that's fair! haa. I've been speaking with Westside, and we're trying to...

EDIT: Only 2 Div 3's, I thought there was 3. I'm under the impression that there isn't a 'guaranteed' entry into Div 3. I have been contemplating joining with Westside to aid my application to the league, but realistically what is the liklihood of being successful as an individual applicant...

Sorry, I know this isn't the right thread - but this seems to get much more traffic than the summer leagues thread. Are there any leagues other than the league in Richmond which is around VMSL Div 2 or top end of Div 3 level of play? My players have expressed an interest to step up the standard...

This is running again this year, right? I tried googling it, but couldn't find anything other than this thread. Is there a website or anything?

All I've been able to find is a Wednesday league. I found the Richmond Senior Soccer League website, and emailed some guy about it. He said its a 'rec' league, and as soon as he said that, I became skeptical. I was hoping I could enter the league that you, Bombastic etc are in... Do you have...
