wow... this game sounds like it got somewhat out of hand! I hope everyone is ok!
Hellas lost a LOUD one to PL 2-1... Good game, but second goal was offside... props to PL for playing hard for 90.
fun week with some upsets! hopefully the card problem CR and JDF experienced wont cripple them against Gorge and the Greeks...

I wasn't going to comment, because I don't feel that it will solve anything and frankly it feels a bit tacky, but I want to clear up a few things.
Our player that went over to the CR fans after the game because they waved him over; they apologized to him, and shook hands. I can't comment on the scrum because I didn't see what happened, and I don't want to speculate.
As for the game, I felt JDF had more possession, but didn't do much with it in the first half. CR defended well, countered quickly, and were the better team after 45'. We made some adjustments at half, and I thought we were the better team in the second period. I think we were about even in the chances created stat, and a draw would have been a fair result; just my opinion, of course. I was a bit disappointed to see a game like that decided by the referee, and he actually apologized about the penalty call. Naturally, the we were a little fired up about that.
Anyway that roadie up to CR is a tough one, and CR is a solid team. Lastly, thanks for the cup crawl suggestions, we stopped into the Rod n' Gun on the trip south.

HH you were successful (not really) in deleting your post but you exposed your intelligence (on the pitch and on the forum). Thanks for at least two good laughs.
Thanks gord for corroborating "the kick". I am just waiting for the youtube link to be posted on this thread of the "incident." I am curious gord, how do you know "the officials saw it all the way?" Did you ask them? First off in Div 3 the A/R's are supplied by the clubs, so in theory there is only one official, the referee. The CR club could have provided A/R's. As a referee we only have two eyes and last time I checked there are 22 players on a pitch each with 2 arms and 2 legs. It is impossible for any referee to watch all 88 limbs at once let alone for 90 minutes. The referee's report (which Div 1 has probably read by now) will contain exactly what he or she saw. That said no referee is perfect, even in the professional game.

The chirping was inappropriate and just dumb, kicking another player was completely over the line, no matter how heated a battle there's a line that shouldn't be crossed and I f**ked up. That's not how I want our team to be represented.
That was f**k**g stupid and none of that will happen again.
JDF expect a case of beer nine weeks from now, I'll be looking to somehow make amends. Sorry again guys

OPP - Probably the toughest thing I have to do is stop myself from engaging sometimes. I love how this Forum can get sometimes with good ol fashioned banter and trash talk......and I must say I would love to get more involved and share some deep feelings (especially when the breathalyzer is dis-activated) but I cannot. That makes me sad as it is a missed opportunity to offer a different viewpoint and have a lot of fun. Having received all the reports from the appropriate personnel - it would also be interesting to share - but again, I cannot. It is in the hands of the Discipline Committee now - they will meet, possibly invite people - then go from there to determine suspensions, sanctions......and maybe even fines !! (I know, a shocker) I trust the system......but also realize that sometimes s**t happens at games......so be it, pay the piper and move on. Would agree with somebody else's statement though..... a 12 pack is not enough - might I suggest 24 and preferably sponsor beer Heineken ?
