Wish I could say my brother is well, but sadly, he's not.
He is battling one evil opponent yet fighting valiantly, but it's definitely taking a toll on him. The chemo ended late August with little effect.He's home with wife and daughter, often tired much of the day & thin, but spending quality time with them nonetheless.
He hasn't been 'online' lately but I try to keep him current as to the Div 2 ongoings. He's more focused on family and ,of course to a lesser extent, his 46" Sony Bravia with Digital HD Cable.
He has OK'd it with me however to suggest to those that know him and wish to wish to pass an any messages, to send them to myself. I'll then take them (notes/messages/wellwishes/whatever) to him in hardcopy form.
Feel free to contact me directly for more info.
Cheers,
Rob (number2)

Probably a good place to consolidate things...

I wish the #!%@$! City would get off their strike hangover and cancel the fields on Friday so we don't have to suit up, put nets up only to have the ref decide to cancel the game at 1:58PM. Great way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday. At least the beers in the cooler were put to good use, albeit 90 minutes early.
too young to retire yet...

Teelay, I fully agree. Pretty obvious about Thursday that we were in the midst of a deluge and it would be a poor decision to play on the fields. Waste of not only a few hours, but a whole weekend having to go to a field only to be finally told the field is unplayable when that has been a foregone conclusion for days... I DO NOT look forward to the same scenario for us up at Trimble tomorrow...
Knights 3-0 over Hellas. A convincing victory made even sweeter by the official return from a 6 month stay on the injured list for the legendary Dr.J. Hellas are definitely prime candidates for relegation. How they squeeked the Goo Boys I will never know. On any given day I suppose. Thanks to #2's missus for cooking up another fine batch of apple crisp.
Div 2's senior set continue to make a case for moving up in the Bonefish rankings. Is there a not quite "truly" undefeated category??
Smoke and mirrors baby...

YFC 2-1 UBC
Good match, if a bit frustrating. The main thing was to get over Monday's debacle, and it didn't look like it was going to happen for quite some time. The first half was one-way traffic towards the UBC goal, but the couple of decent chances didn't find the net. UBC scores on their only good chance of the game about five minutes into the second half, when their right back curls a 20-yard free kick over the wall. Great stuff for this level. After that, YFC rattles the UBC crossbar three times and has several other chances and fails to score until the last 15, when a free kick is headed back across goal into the corner. The equalizer puts UBC into disarray, which is just due to a lack of experience. With 5 minutes left, we get a breakaway and the UBC keeper tries to charge it down about 25-30 yards from the goal, which is never a good policy, especially on nice turf where the striker can pick his spot.
UBC will definitely trouble teams and get points with their workrate, but the lack of experience is still a problem. A couple of older players in pivotal positions would do them a lot of good. Today's match was interesting in that it was a bit of a undergrads vs. grads showdown, since most of our squad are UBC grads or grad students. It's always good to get one over on the younger generation

CHOOOOO CHOOOOOOO CHOOOCRASSSHHHHHHHHH the engine stals here, the mighty power rangers summond up all their mighty powers and morphed into super robot that stuck its foot out into the path of the train. 3:0 for the rangers, great game by them. First goal came for them about 5 mins in with a great volley about 20 yards out right to the post, perhaps savable but i was too stunned by how pretty it was and the fact that i've never seen a shot like than in div 1 or 2. second was a break away where their player dribbled past 3 of our dummies, pardon, our defenders about 10 mins in. than the game leveled and NK had their chances with the ranger in red making some nice saves. Second half was pretty even with the rangers having a nice cross in from a free kick which resulted in an own goal, but it was going to be a goal regardless. Ref was ok, there were some suspect calls how ever certainly didn't make a diff in the game. The Ladner boys still play rough, just like the blaze use to *memories of having my head kicked in* but hey, if you can get away with it, why not do it. Will certainly be looking for a rematch. The end

The endGood to see the Rangers do the job. Ladner is definitely the roughest away match in this group. Glad to see the result not just for our own sake, but it's good for the group as a whole in that it keeps things tight up top. After two consecutive seasons that were effectively over after 9 games (with Punjab and Romania), I'm looking forward to one that might well go down to the wire. The table's a bit lopsided at first glance, but there is a lot of quality beyond the top three, and JB's, UBC, and PCOV will be doing some serious spoiling, methinks...
The Rangers definitely had the advantage tonight with the turf, as they looked far more comfortable on it then we did. It was our first game on the artificial surface....and it showed. I couldn't tell if the smell was us or the cow manure. They had two other things going for them too: Saturday night and Ladner. I'm looking forward to the rematch on grass in lovely east Vancouver, when we should be hungry again. Best thing out of this game was that it makes the group more interesting.
