Interesting to see SUFCGN (could they have picked a longer acronym? ) out of the blocks with a couple of votes. Hadn't heard anyone really pick them to contend this season, though I think TR did mention in one of his posts that they are enigmatic, so who knows? I don't know much about SUFC or GN, but still don't think they'll leapfrog Aldergrove or the mighty Power Rangers for first place.
If they don't take off to that indoor tourney in Seattle, they'll probably come out of the gate fast. Think about it...September is still relatively warm, so the chances of seeing a mitten appearance is not likely until Ocober hits. The poll question was best team in September, so I'm picking SUFCGLMNOP.
The only good thing about SUFCGEUWXYZ in the winter is that the lovely brown birds (Pretty, Dimple, Asha) they drag out to watch have nice erect pencil eraser nipple protruding through their fine tight shirts.
One thing I will miss about Premier and the Friday nighters at Mackie...the dancing girls in saris.
~Changa, Changa, hey (screw in the light bulb, screw in the light bulb....)
Excellent, expect a big geuuuuu crowd out at Albion/SamRoberts/RotaryTurf/UK-Stadium to kick off the season.
We can't promise sausages and geezers like you folk rave about swallowing before during and after games. Although if Girth shows up, that could be a whole different story.
Still just pre-season stuff, but the Mig... Rangers play the Nation on Tuesday night at the NAP at 8:30. Should be a cracking match as both teams are gearing up for league titles this year. I predict a Ranger victory, because we are at home for this one.
Rangers for the league title this year. I think they will take it. But what about the promotion. Are the "new rangers" able/ready to move on? Or is coach happy to be called, "the best div.1 team ever". I think its time to move up, especially with some signings they might get next year.
Devil's advocate: don't they need to earn it first? Last year's squad wasn't close, and I know they've made some very key additions (though chances are that the guy in net will let them down again), but let's see how the season pans out before getting on our knees.
Outkast, there was a little bit of a joke there from HOS. Rangers and PAU train on the same pitch. No home field advantage really. HOS was just being, well, HOS.
What can Div. expect from the Crusaders this year? Anyone left over from last year? Any of the old Premier boys besides Simmonds follow Solk to that team?
Brandon,
What days are your games going to be on this year. I'd heard that you were trying for Friday nights. Did you get it or are we still stuck playing Sunday evening games.
Rangers and GEU first match of the season. Nicely.
You'll finally get to hear the much talked about coach. "Nicely, Nicely"
Rangers, please don't take these guys lightly. They have signed 3-4 ex premier players who could not fully commit to premier. They will be a tough team.
Hope i can make it out to this one. Should be a cracker.
The new look Rangers have signed at least 3 former VMSL Premier players with more on the way over the next few years no doubt which should answer any questions concerning how they will deal with promotion.
So there you go, two questions, one answer. No need to thank me.
When is Jinky coming out to see his bro and the team play? I know it isn't tough to get Parkheed and his bag of Pilsner pints out to the NAP.
No Hoop kit allowed at the park!
Crusaders are mostly made up of the GEU Rams (Div.3 Champions in 04/05) and Ex 'fvsl' premier players. Should be a decent side that will be in the middle of the pack this year. I dont see relegation, and nobody sees promotion.
Prediction
Rangers 3 Crusaders 1.
anybody wanting to see a war. Saturday 2:15 at Pitt Athletic Park. (premier) Dewdney FC vs GEU U
Rangers 1 vs. Nation 1 at the half, had to leave a pretty good match, not sure how it ended, but it started ugly with Jinky walking into the Ranger Dressing room with green hoops and a camera.
Would love to have the first one back, a little out of position, but like allways he put it in the top corner.
