Div 1 [FVSL D1] Predictions & Banter - October 2009

[TheMegr]

Regardless, point is you've played crappy teams, we've played good teams. Can't wait till we get to play Aldergrove, Abbotsford, etc.

Yeah, F.U

 

[italian_stallion21]

Weren't you guys plagued by injuries last year about this time of the season?

I don't think so, last year we were just bad. It looked like we were playing with injuries.

 

[italian_stallion21]

Yeah, F.U

Well you guys are at the bottom, trying to give you guys some bulletin board material

Figured I’d chip in my two bits about the new look Athletics...

Young team, lot’s of piss n’ vinegar, and IMO nice to see. Honestly- and I know some of them disagree- a bunch of us were just becoming too long in the tooth. I personally didn’t enjoy div. 1 last year so much. Certain games, yes. Always like playing the Rangers. Enjoyed matches against DFC Razorbacks, and the PAU guys, but for the most part, we were at track meets every weekend, and it just wasn’t as fun- for me, anyhow.

Now, having had a chance to get in a bit of a run this weekend w/ them, I liked the new energy, and youth-full new look to the squad. There is enough talent to score a lot of goals, for sure. They have only played two matches together, and are still getting comfortable w/ each other. I think a lot of the gelling started to come together in the 2nd half vs. the Highlanders, and I hope for it to continue. I think a top 5 finish is possible for the Athletics.

That said, they now get the Gunners, Friday at the effing hardwood. Again. Over the past 3 seasons and 5 matches against the Gunners, they’ve played at our park exactly once. The lads will be in tough; they are already missing a bunch of players, and will have to- unfortunately- rely on a bunch of Masters for help. Not gonna lie, it’ll be nice to kick a Gunner or three, and given we’ve played there so many times now, it’s almost becoming comfortable.

Hey we're still waiting for the tie breaker!!
Maxwell....you're up

Don't say my name, it stepchild! and the score of 4-0 is all that needs to be said.
Z, I think its stallions poor attempt at ttp'ing us.........and you just bit Must still be tired from the weekend at your cabin.
Bit of a jumble in the standing this year, could be an interesting race to the end. Anyone played at trinity this year, is it turf or grass?

hey, we only let 6 in against the whitecaps.

Well 2 shouldn't have counted (even the Whitecaps said so) so in my mind we only let in 5

I believe they play at Willoughby Turf, same as all the Langley teams.

Sub.

Aldergrove 0 - Dynamo 4

Aldergrove is not a very good side. They are good natured and clean, and have some mobility up front but their backline is very suspect and slow.

We were all over them early, and their keeper kept them in the game for the opening 25 mins. We scored 1, they held on for a bit and then the flood gates opened at about the 60 minute mark.

Aldergrove will finish bottom 3 without new players.

Because we don't play them until the second last game of the season. Duh.

so that game could have some meaning

 

[The Franchise]

Yeah, F.U

I miss Rodzilla...is he still around

 

[italian_stallion21]

I was going to say F U But it could have some promotion/relegation implications That is if we get our shite back on track.

 

[italian_stallion21]

Just found out again we'll have no goalie for this weekend. 2 weeks in a row sucks.

You're seriously still talking promotion?! Do you realize the top 2 teams in Div. 1 last year allowed 10 and 11 goals against, respectively, for the whole season? You have already allowed 11. A link for you...

I didn't realize coming on here meant I had to get edumacated. Why can't we talk promotion? The top 3 teams get promoted, so why couldn't we be one of them? I'd say we'd be very hard pressed to do it, but its not out of the realm of possibility. The only thing I truly know is that we'll be looking down the table at you by the end of the year.
