Div 3 DIV 3 - 2012- 2013 SEASON - Banter, Predictions, Results

[united fc]

Played man up for 55 minutes, their keeper got red card for being the last man and fouling our striker in the box.
We scored, but the ref called it back for encroachment, and didn't let us re-take it but gave the indirect kick to Pylons!?!?
According to him they just changed that rule and our guy was lucky he didn't show him yellow card.
I also "disrespected" him for throwing his flag to the ground.
I will be shocked(well, not really) if he is not suspended over this. Amateur!!!
He is very lucky we won with 5 minutes left.

 

[Mr Base]

Who the heck was your ref in that game. Players incroaching should be worned. A retake is a must. He must be eating brownies. O dam even refs.
How the heck can we go forward. If the players did it second time they would get yellow card but you still must take a retake.

 

[united fc]

Ref was Asham, he did our last game too and was great

Bosna 4 - Cosmos 0
Didnt have about 4 of our starters but both sides managed to get 12 guys to come out today, pitch was nice but the weather was horrible and it was pretty cold. Bosna scored got 1 pretty quick on a counter attack and the second one came from a corner into the to corner. Cosmos had a few chances but werent threatening too much. We could of scored 8-9 goals but missed a ton of chances inside the 16, their keeper also made some very nice saves. Overall a pretty solid game and Cosmos were a great bunch to play against.

Well, my first exposure to Metro yesterday and pretty impressed. Fit, fast and structured they were a handful.
Our fellas went in wet, cold and expecting a whooping, so we just played hard and tried to enjoy it. They scored about 6 brilliant goals, so we were just thoroughly impressed. Happy to get 1 and that we won't have to see them ever again on the pitch

 

[Mr Base]

Wao Nor West has not won or tied a game so far. What the heck guys these guys need a point before Christmas. One you teams hast to fall to Nor West. It is no dam fun to loose every game.
FcBycha you guys have hart.

 

[united fc]

NT, what's the atmosphere like at camp Pacifica? Are we gonna have a good game?
Looks like we are coming with 12. Sacked our coach last week, I'll be in charge

[FCbytca]

[united fc]

Strathcona 2:0 Pacifica

 

[united fc]

12 guys available, 1 got injured after 15 min, no subs for the rest of the game.
Scored one early, 2:0 by the end of the half, could've been 5 or 6 nill. Pacifica did absolutely nothing.
First 15-20 of the 2nd, ball possession Pacifica, they pressured us but no scoring chances. We counterattacked with our speedy front 3, couldn't do much. Pacifica had one great scoring chance with 20 to go but the shot just inside the box went wide.
Ref could have called a penalty for each team in the second half.
Last 15 was all us with numerous chances but no score change.
Fair played game by both teams.

 

[northern touch]

Well sounds like you carried the play as to be expected. We're lacking something right now for sure. I was out of town all week and missed the game last night. It wasn't sounding good for attendance on our end, so I'm glad there was a game.

 

[united fc]

Except for the start of the 2nd half, we were definitely the better team. You guys need to work on your passing, so many lost balls on defense and the offensive zone. You played much better against average joes, could be that they really missed you NT.
You had 14 guys at the game, us only 11.

 

[Mr Base]

Again guys Pacifica must win a game, for their guys to have fun. It's div three soccer have bit of heart. Chtistamas is't that far away.
Senta must bring good fortunes to Pacifica.

Bosna 3 Chaos 2
Bosna's attendance was lacking again today , the keepers car broke down and we had to use a defender in net. Again missing about 4 of our starters. Chaos got a free kick about 25 yards out, the keeper saved it but gave up a huge rebound and they scored. Game was pretty much back and forth , played in the mid for 30 minutes after that. Then Chaos broke out on the side and had a very nice cross in when our keeper yelled " GOT IT " and just let the ball float over him and the Chaos forward finished it. Second half Bosna came out very strong, they dominated most of the play in midfield and upfront, we have a few very skilled guys and they gave Chaos' defense a lot of trouble. Bosna got a first goal 10 minutes in with a long ball and keeper came out quite far and had it headed over him. After that Bosna just dominated the play , Chaos did not have many good chances. When we scored our third goal Chaos' best chance came with a excellent shot from about 25 yards out but the keeper just got enough on it to push it out. We were pretty lucky to come back from 2-0 down but we played hard. Im very surprised Chaos is not top 3 as they were one of the tougher teams we have played this season.

 

[Mr Base]

Now Nor West is the only team with out points. I give huge credit to all their players for showing up each weekend.
That would be the hardest, knowing you are going to lose each game. Christmas timeoff will give them a chance to think it out. I am sure they will do better after Christmas.
Pacifica blaming a coch for losing is not the best thing to do. Normaly that spits the team, team could endup losing four five guys just before the transfer dead line.

 

[northern touch]

That's the problem Mr Base.... no coach to blame

Our one win of the season was over Signmaster, so hopefully we'll be able to pick up points tonight. Fridays are tough for us as we have a couple of regulars who work club jobs and can't make Fridays.

Picks of the week:
A Group:
PCOV v Strathcona
NV Joes v Metro
Pylons v B's
Friends v Celtic

B Group:
Bosna draw Pumas
Cosmos v Chaos
Nor-West v Ante-Up
Cliff v Caspian
Astro v Bari

Good luck all!

 

[united fc]

Base, where do you find out about this stuff -(non existent) Pacifica coaches being replaced.
And if they had one, why wouldn't it be ok to fire him after losing 5 in a row!
Anyone knows what's gonna happen with PCOV-Average game that was abandoned, is it possible that noone gets the points?

Agree with all your picks NT, except Bosna to beat Pumas.
And I think you can definitely beat Signmaster once again (even without a coach:naughty

 

[northern touch]

Well, that stunk. 2-1 down to Signmaster. Against play, we should have been up by several early on. Spent 30 min all over them.
Only managed one. Then a couple of breakdowns and panicky play resulted in a bit of sustained pressure from Signmaster and they won a free kick from a dangerous position off to the top right of the box. A nicely curled kick picked the top corner as our keeper, hesitated slightly on his move to the ball.
The second half had a good flow, with the majority of the pressure coming from us. During the game, the majority of chances for Signmaster were the result of punt and race to the box..... However, play in midfield resulted in a square ball being laid out to our left winger and the ref somehow got in the way deflecting it straight to their center mid. This led to a 4 on 2 and a quick counter goal as our players had committed forward on the attack. Badly chosen ball (I hate square balls at midfield) mixed with an unfortunate step by the ref cost us the game. We just couldn't break down for the equalizer.
There were some chances for Signmaster due to us throwing caution to the wind and committing forward, but disappointing result. Should have been 3 pts tonight if our boys could keep their heads in it.

PCOV 1:5 Strathcona

 

[united fc]

One way game all the way, we were up 2:0 after 15, they made it 2:1 on a pk but were down to 10 after an injury and no subs.
By the end of the half they were 4:1 down and also 2 men down, no idea what happened to their guy.
Second half we pressed but scored only once more. 5 goals for, season's best.
2 season deciders coming up for us, Average and then Metro. Should be good
