Yeah, screw that JB guy. He's a clown.

Good luck to everyone else though.

 

[Regs]

Who's JB?

 

[J_B]

That hurt real bad you bastard, I will remember that when we play you in the season.

Regs,

I expect that kinda shite from KNVbeaker but not from you.

well lets sum up this post

Screw you All

 

[Regs]

Oh, you're that guy.



Good luck J_B!

 

[Jinky]

Good luck Sporting.

After arriving yesterday in Calgary, we arrived at out hotel with the expectations that our hotel was ready however they weren't even expecting us until today.

This tournament as of right now looks to be unorganized so don't expect the websites to be updated to quickly. Sensei brought his computer so I will get him to do the game reports as he likes to write I think.

Anyway just hanging out until our 3:30pm game, all of the guys seem ready to go after some not feeling up to par yesterday.

Thanks for all the wishes

Cheers
JB

Good luck boys, all the best, keep your wits about you with some of the inconsistent refs at these tourny's.

Hey Larsson, any word on the Alberta team that is there this year, what should Sporting expect, help out your BC Boys for once.

In the spirit of TheRob, I've tried to keep things organized by starting a thread in the Canada section. That's the link above.

Heres what I wrote on the other thread a couple of days ago. Not sure who Larsson is, but I hear he drinks a lot!! Just off to watch and will try to post an unbiased report later!!

Don't fancy BC mens chances - you'd better be ready as G&G looked very good at provs - some former A lge/UofA players.

Although we had them at 3-0, they came back strong to tie. I predict they'll win it all!! I'd like to be proven wrong though.

4-0, well your guys really bolloxed it. They were crap, and GG didn't even have their best player - Vignebitch, and #1 GK, Jordan Robinson.
Thats it for BC when you only have play 4 games to win the whole thing. You have to hope St. Lawrence beats GG by a lot tomorrow.
Don't bet the mtge.

Sporting plays tonight @ 6PM Pacific vs Newfoundland... apparently the Newfies are high-tech and the match audio will be streamed live.

Not sure which link is going to carry it, but try either of these:

mms://209.128.8.147/VOCMhttp://mms://209.128.8.147/vocm

First link is the correct one above... 1-nil Sporting after 34 minutes.

Winner gets Saskatchewan, loser gets Manitoba

How fcuked is it that Alberta will have 2 teams in the top four this year? How will that affect seedings for next year?

 

[Demolition]

2-nil Sporting at the half.

 

[SCP]

some website Calgary Soccer Association has...doesn't even update any scores...

 

[Regs]

What scores do you need?

I agree that these sites have been shite and it doesn't help when the official Canadian Soccer Association website goes down for days/weeks, but there is a place to get everything here:

http://www.tsisports.ca/natchamp/indexE.htm

I will say this: Next year, with the Nationals being hosted here in BC, will see TTP set up a network of volunteers to put up scores in real-time and I am going to put a proposal into work to have the games streamed live...

 

[SCP]

Regs: thanx for the link...just wanted to know how sporting was doing in the nationals...

cheers

Finished 7th with the win today.

I suppose that means BC is seeded 6th (and possibly 12th) for next year?

 

[Regs]

Ontario beat Alberta in the final today 3-2. The "other" Alberta team beat the tossers from Quebec (believe me, they are tossers of the highest order from past years) to take the bronze.

I now have a rather important question for BC Soccer and the CSA:

Does BC get 2 entries for next year as host and if so, what is the criteria for getting the second berth?

It should be the 2 BC finalists and IMO, it needs to be ANNOUNCED before the end of January.

Cheers,
