Premier [VMSL Premier] Results & Banter - Oct 05'

[gilly]

Gilly,

Congrats on the big win-ugly or not. I think Westside will get better after the university season, so beating them down now is important. How did they look player personel wise?

WAB,

I agree, I think Westside will be better in the 2nd half of the season (as per usual) when their university players return, but to be honest I didn't recognize a soul, except for their coach Boban.

Gilly

Yes there was a great deal of ambiguity but now that you have explained your story in more detail, I now understand why you are complaining. I agree that referee shouldn't be persuaded by fans however I find that it is quite evident in some situations in the VMSL.



I am surprised that you say that niether team did not want to play soccer as that is what you were suppose to be doing. Maybe you could explain in more detail as what you were doing yesterday afternoon to limit any more ambiguity.




Cheers
JB

I don't know why the ref thought Sap and Croatia weren't there to "play" soccer. I thought it was a classic circa mid 90's VMSL battle: Both teams were sticking up for their players. There were some late tackles, but not really dirty/intent to injure. It was like the new NHL-back and forth, but with the rough stuff.
It was a lot of fun to watch 2 teams go at it really hard with tonnes of emotion and energy. Unfortunately the referee was out of his league on this one. Rene should have been the midddle man for this battle. He would have kept everything in check just by talking to players instead of lauching yellow and red bombs for every foul.
Brian Donald said it best: If I can't play like that, what's the point of playing. And in a way I concure.

Wow, some interesting comments here. Persuaded by the fans?

The first red card given to Sapp (I believe Brian and it was his second yellow) was 5 yards from your sideline. Kevin could certainly hear your entire sideline screaming that there was no foul. Our fans were 70 yards away at that point. Not sure they influenced that one.

I think Kevin was truely influenced by the two footed tackle showing shiny studs on our midfielder's ankle.

And Brian said it best? Not saying he had an intent to injure but he was reckless. Not sure what league would allow him to play that way.

It was a high energy and emotional game, for sure. Ref'd pretty well given that.

SSSSSHHHHHHH......its whataboutbob!!!

SSSSSHHHHHHH......its whataboutbob!!!

lucky you were not talking about the late sapp of the 90s there were about half a dozen brians.........wilms,donald,gibby & wabrian


anyways metro ford wolves 2 -- inter 0

Is Metro-ford not the surprise of the year or what?

I see the excellent site shows the Trollups dropping another 3 points to Westside today...

If asked before the start of the season what I thought would be more likely - MF being top of side A 8 weeks in or Trollups in the tank I probably would have taken the trollups in the tank as a bigger surprise, what with the North Shore-Surrey Pegasus merger and all. I know Peg had just be relegated, but still...

As always though, it's the games after Christmas that notoriously count for the most,but I wouldn't have thought MF would have improved this much from last year.

I also think Croatia's start is a bit of a shocker even with Kuna at his optimum playing weight of 283 1/4 pounds.

Burnaby 5 - Croatia 3

We started off very slow and within the first 15 minutes Matt Mori had already scored twice. We did well to tie it up at 2 before Croatia scored off a header to go up 1 right before halftime. Second half we picked up our play and seemed to dictate the flow of the game. Once we tied it up we kept pushing forward and were rewarded with two more goals. Alot of guys on are team stepped it up today and we deserved the points. Big win for our team today and hopefully it will carry over to next weeks game with Norvan.

Is the Capitals getting points so far this year not the biggest surprise or what?

 

[knvb]

Surrey 6 AFC 1

Millar was pathetic really. Won't be long now before he's cut for a lack of productivity on the park or for conversation.

 

[whataboutbob]

Sap 4 - Norvan 1

Paul Favs was masterful as he delivered a hatty on 2 fabulous strikes and an easy open net. With Araszewski and Jeff Rogers back in the lineup missing Donald and Woody didn't hurt today. Colin Phillips with a great left foot from 25 out into a far low corner.

2-1 at half

Sap finished well. Norvan were missing some key players and struggled to keep up after half.

 

[Notty]

Millar.....

KNVB...all of your post seem to begin with some praise of Millar...do you love him?

 

[whataboutbob]

Maybe Peg was relegated because the vets were the problem, not the youth around them. Who are the Peg vets going to blame this time?

 

[whataboutbob]

I also think Croatia's start is a bit of a shocker even with Kuna at his optimum playing weight of 283 1/4 pounds.

Is Dave Mori is on the Kuna-Tuna diet as well? The bigger Mori subbed in at the 65th min, played 10, and subbed back out.

 

[whataboutbob]

Rumor has it that Indo FC player Billy Shocker, er, Shoaker might be moving to another team. More for another day.

 

[dickens_cider]

Took in the West side Trollup game and the result was quite tragic. West Side scored on there only shot in the entire second half. On the other hand Trollups had about 40 shots but they all went wide. Trollups carried the play but just had NO finish.

November results and banter can go here...

[Grimm]
