VMSL Masters 2007-2008 February/March Results and Banter

[Regs]

I'm not sure there would be many teams who would give the goal back.

Agreed.

The ref blew it 100%, not Sapp. But it's ironic that WAB rants with all his might the previous week about the state of officiating and then immediately gets the ultimate non-call/farce to go his way.

Looks like we are on this Sunday at "tiny" Hillcrest...That might be good since I doubt we'll be fielding a team. Shame really. Guys will arrive at the park and possibly find out there is no game. I don't know how many CAT guys we can get since they play on Friday night and are struggling for bodies as is. I'll be thinking of you guys as I ski down the slopes at the peaks.

Ouch - Best of luck to Angelo on his recovery for his shoulder injury.
It was Ang who got hurt - Yes?

Ouch also to SU.
That has to hurt as well.
This is a team not accustomed to being out of post season play.
Unlucky boys - You'll be back.

Congrats to Sapp and best of luck in the BCs.

Cheers,
RF

I will be skiing this weekend, and I think 6-7 of our guys are away as well. Might be our B team against yours . . .

It's not Ang............It was Becks.

Unlucky Becks.

If it was a dislocation and not a seperation and I was him I would have rather broken the arm instead. Now if it's a seperated shoulder then he should be fine. Best of luck on the recovery and unlucky Balls and Regs. If anyone is to blame it is the ref as I don't see why he won't call it either way. It was 0-0 it's not like he was trying to waste time like some players do and it's the keeper of all players.

 

[Scottyshell]

Psssst.....hey guys.....games over.....nothings going to change.....sorry to hear about your player Regs,hope he's ok.....but hey...still room in the foursome! Here's to no more aches and pains til September!! Cheers lads....

Maybe if someof the keepers in the league didn't flop around every time someone touched them the play would have been stopped - right Zambroni ......?????

 

[Sir M]

That is a very valid point.

 

[SCK]

Yes. But Taxman it is the player's duty to control himself when he is in the box. I've received many fouls against me for doing so...I actually held up well against Roselund this weekend though...

Now that was clearly using your better judgement .... if you did not he would take care of it - especially with nothing on the line

From what I have read, there were obviously some "kick it out" comments. I can honestly tell you that I didn't hear them. The ball was cleared directly to me about 25 yards out to the left. A defender came straight at me . I took a touch to control, maybe two touches to cut inside to get around him and a final touch to shoot(yes with my head down) I looked up and the goalie was lying to the left side of the net as the ball was looping into the net off a defender. I don't think that the defender that came at me heard anything either because he seemed to be doing his best to defend. It's not a good way to win and in fact after the game, there was no celebration because it didn't really feel like a legitimate win. It was a bad break for Surrey but the thought of letting them come down and score never entered our minds until I read it on here. I'm not sure there would be many teams who would give the goal back.

Favs... you are all class, and have full respect from the sidelines that you did not hear any of the shouts, no worries mate. The ball was not cleared to you though, it was cleared up the sideline touched and passed or punched into the middle of the park to you at the top of the box. as a spectator.. please.... looked up and the goalie was lying to the left side of the net as the ball was looping into the net off a defender. I don't think that the defender that came at me heard anything either because he seemed to be doing his best to defend. If anythig I blame the referee personally; But what did you expect the defender to do? They are yellig to put the ball out, there was a couple touches of the ball, did you want the defender to get out of the way as well as the keeper? Anyways, shite way to win and a shite way to lose. Again favs, I know you are all class, just a shite way to decide a game of that importance......

I know taxman..... you have a tee time.

Wow, someone had a good St. Paddy's Day. Dickens leave some beer for the rest of us will you?

My take is that it was most unfortunate to win a game like that but I doubt very much that at the Masters level you would have someone "give back" the goal. After all, it is only the oldtimers league. I believe it occured a number of years back when a goal was actually given back at the premier level. It is really no way to end the season and for that I feel sorry for Regs et al. who really deserved a better fate. As for WAB, what is his team supposed to do? Withdraw from the provincials? Miro had the responsibility of calling it. Simple. He chose not to. Just like he chose not to red card a flagrant foul a few weeks back. At our old level, anything can happen and the referees can alter a game very easily. That will serve notice to all of us come provincial cup time in April.
This will mean very little, but SU should hold their heads up high for their play. They are one of the better clubs and probably aren't used to not being there come cup time.

364 more sleeps till next St. paddy's day

SCK:

While you're up on the 'Peaks, ask your bro the ref what he would have done under the circumstances.

Say hi to the rest of the Loopians for me.

Favs: nice to see you on here. Sorry it couldn't be under better circumstances.

Just for clarification, the referee was not Miro.

 

[dickens_cider]

SCk... Might be a beer shortage in the Loops and at the Peaks this weekend as Hurricane dickens will be rolling in for a couple days

 

[whataboutbob]

.....blame Miro somehow.

Sorry to confuse people here, Miro was not the ref, I just blame Miro for all referees' mistakes.

 

[SCK]

See you at bottoms...there will be plenty of beer flowing there.

They still have my Visa from the last weekend up there. You might want to ask Jags what happened to the Bell that used to hang above the bar in there....
