Nationals Canadian BMO National Championship 2009

[Regs]

Thanks Nobby.

What a weird year for Nationals... I wonder if this was the plan all along? Were teams told before the tourney what would happen if games were snowed out?

DCR20, here on edgar d's name. had to laugh talking to a ref today regarding the "hit the ceiling with the ball rule".....he said, all refs have different rules. lol....ok i said, like wtf does that mean???? is there not a proper rule?

we all watched the other side today. wow, div 2 co-ed at best. a real sad display of football. the team from our group will win thid competition easy!

next game for us is vs sask, they are actually a very good team, and well, from what we hear, not good drinkers......so they might have the edge. as another team party is happening in rooom 1920. after that we have a shootout scheduled for 10pm vs whoever on the other side. if we lose,we will give bc at next year's nats a place in the shite side. so we have selected our 4 vets, doddy, shorty, nico, and jink to shoot, with 29 getting the last one. should be great laugh!!

coach is alive barely, he has sadly needed to take tonight off. as he says his gut is rotting! hopefully the little twat will feel better tomoro.

We were not told anything - but when are the teams ever informed in Canada!! We had a massive discussion at the team mtg about team colours and that the refs can only wear black or yellow!! So all teams had to compromise - what do we see - refs in orange + charcoal!!
We argued to get 90 min games, but were told it was logisically impossible with only 1 field.
Have to say though that I've been at 9/11 nats and this is the worst ever weather - even here in 2000 it was not warm, but not anywhere as bad as this. Only saving grace here now is that they have this superb, if a bit small, indoor field.

What time is todays game DCR?

BC v SASK at 3.00 pm local

 

[Sir M]

Thank you Nobby.

9 of 11 Nationals? Wow. I knew you had been there a few times, but 9 is off the charts. You have to feel bad for the group of guys who will likely only get one chance to be a part of this unreal experience and will probably be left with sour taste when looking back on it.

I can honestly say Quebec in 03' is by far my fondest soccer memories.

Yeh, I do feel for the players who are only here once - not sure what else they could do though - so my approach is to enjoy it no matter what happens - we now class it as an indoor tournament!!

Would love to play all winter in this venue actually!!

Quebec was classic for us - esp when they made us play NS twice in 24 hours!!

Gorgeuos weather then as well!! 20's if I remember correclty.

SU girls are playing for Gold tomorrow at 12 Sask time against AB who won all 3 games in thier group. SU was looking at needing a win to put pressure on Sask who was playing right after against MB, who I might add had nothing to play for. Even with a win MB was gonna be playing for 7th and 8th. SU scored in the final minute after Ont had taken a second yellow with about 4 minutes to go and went down to 10 players. Saskatchewan knowing a 2 goal win would put them in the final or at worst a one goal win forcing a tie breaker between us. They came out playing the trap and MB was unlucky not to be up a couple at half. Second half MB came out attacking, well Sask sat back, not sure what Sask's stragety was, but it cost them as they lost 2-0 to MB. Very impressed with the way MB came out to play with nothing to gain. SU ends up with 2 wins and a draw in round robin play. We still need to find our offense as we have only scored 2 goal and both have come late in the game. The positive though is we have yet to concede a goal.

 

[Sir M]

West Van beat Saskatchewan today, and at this point it looks as if Manitoba is going to be going to the indoor final, up 2-0 over Ontario in the second half according to laylow...so close...

Sir M.

 

[show]

Manitoba is up 2-0 and looking like they will represent our group in the roofball national championships.Must be the abundance of Spada-like players (pic to come).

Anyways, we're playing for 5th in the shootout. I was fancying our chances in longest kick or even pick the hand the whistle is in, but I guess we'll try our best in the shoot-out. Unless, we need to avoid the only other decent team in the tourny (alberta) for next year.

 

[Sir M]

The PKs will be at 9PM Saskatoon time, although this National Championship placement game it is still rumoured will be decided by "whack a mole".

DCR20 is now warming up:

 

[Sir M]

West Van won the shootout, Leo (just off a suspension), Geis, Alan, and Max scored. Desmond missed, but then Drew scored. 29 with two stops. West Van will finish 5th, with a shot at 4th.

 

[girth]

This sounds like more of a fun summer tourny only with winter temperatures!

 

[Regs]

How can WV in any way, shape, or form finish 4th?!?!!?

 

[Conductor]

Not sure what happened, but there are rumours out there that a WV player was jumped last night at 7-11 and is now in the hospital??

 

[edgar d.]

Word on the street is that Callies dropped the 3rd place game to PEI.

I can't remember how the seedings work past the top 4... is this it:

Group A
1 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 10

Group B
2 | 3 | 6 | 7 | 9

Pirate - who picked up the concussion?

 

[Captain Shamrock]

4th place? What the **** is happening to Alberta soccer? Larsson, come on, man...........sort it ****ing out. You have the ability to do it all on your own. You've told us here many times.


Disappointed the Callies didn't win three in a row................

P.S. This is no knock against Nobby Stiles and the rest of the Callies players......just Larsson.

 

[Sir M]

DCR, who got jumped?

Damned prarie 7-11s...
