Game 9 and other Stuff

Ladies! I have been remiss.

Yes we won Game 9 agains Code Black with a score of 6-0. Pei got 4 goals (i will collect recruitment fees later!), Jen got 1 and who got the other one?

I was having some ball in centre issues, nat was sucking back brewskies while playing - as did #17 on their team. There was also cheerleaders - all boyz except for the girls! And then they played together in the dark drinking brewskies. John was our coach - such a patient guy. You can see the photos here.

and, as part of our fatten up the forwards campaign, Peigham here is eating this honkin' buffalo burger we got her at Quinns. We were all very impressed!


We are moving down in the standings but are one above those who shall not be named!

see ya all tonight at Carleton Place!

Short Note from Coach Iyad (Saturday)

Glad you guys enjoyed practice I had a tonne of fun as well, you're all are a very coachable bunch and its nice to see the improvement developing from beginning of a drill to the end. Congratulations on the win also!! by the sounds of it you guys dominated that game, perhaps we'll work on some finishing next practice and ensure a 6 nothing pounding next time...Like I said last practice, I wasn't emphasizing the finishing at all on the crossing drill, we'll put more concentration on that next practice.

oh oh!

EEEEEEEEEk! 4 to 1!

I go to montreal for a coupla games and look what happens! It must a been the lingering spirit of zindane that caused some kaffufles and the score keeper got confused and awarded points to the wrong team!

But seriously ladies - what is the scoop? So i am sitting here in a fine cafe called laika that plays groovy lounge tunes on a sweltering steamy afternoon surrounded by people (men) with really great hair cuts drinking and alonge and grapefruit juice and wondering about the game!

a goil needs to know!

Notes from Oz - Shannon

Ladies, first and foremost... thanks for having me back for two games!! what a pleasure it was to play with you all...some of you new to me, some of you old...to which i mean old friends, and not old as in age!

My temporary return to O-Town was marked by two games with the Untamed Womyn. True to the untamed name, we played in highly volitile and nontheleast bit tamed weather... my favorite. The Almonte team was young and chippy. We certainly had a fair share of words being exchanged.... and i'm never THAT innocent, and like to have my two cents in there ;)
Ahhh i digresss, We played a tough game, in crap weather, against a bunch of whiners worthy of being called primadonna's, drama queen's, prom girls... or just teenagers (in my grand old age of 24 i can justify calling people that :) BUT, we had a good time, and even scored a goal.

As an apt end to any soccer game, we paid our respects to the game at Quinn's pub, and Quinn himself. Man i LOVE that place!! Glad so many ladies made it out to check out the 'hot spot'. I only hope we didn't frighten our host with our relatively untamed conversation verging on the slighty scandalous side :p

Now, last night's game against the Capital United youngsters was another hard fought battle. Not sure what happened with that, to be honest. They had no subs, but lots of fast legs and skill. One of their players got schmucked...for lack of a better term....with a combo hit by Soley(a full 2 feet taller then this chick), then got rear-ended and steamrolled by Virginia...tough break kid! So, we had a 10 person advantage....with which we were able to score ONE goal to their four. oops.

I like to put blame on others for these turns of events, and i give last night's award for "Most Controversial and Cohooting Referrying" to 'Pylon' - our mini ref. Not only did he make a bunch BS calls about the ball being out of play(granted, he couldn't see over the blades of grass in centre field to the sidelines in the far corners), but he also was in some conspiracy with the coach of the little CapU's (sounds like a dorky sorority don't you think?). The game was a bit chippy, but whatever....we are untamed Womyn, and don't seem to mind a bit of attitude...not that we have any of course!

All right, i'll wrap this up....it was a pleasure playing with you ladies for the past two games. Not sure what happens when i return for good, but we'll see. Keep this blog up to date.. it's great and i look forward to seeing pictures and highlights form the games on the site. Be sure to visit Quinn's, although, don't enjoy it TOO much on me.. i might get a bit jealous.

See you all when i return in Dec. with fresh legs, and Aussie accent(?), and a great tan...

Game 6 - Stormy Weather!

Wholly tomolli!

What a dark and stormy monday soccer night in the dim and lurkium suburbs cat woman!

Shesh! We played the very young - as in prom girls - and undefeated Almonte team in the storm of the century! That is right, hail, wind, dark clouds, raindrops the size of soccer balls, thunder, and lightning! in some parts of town typhoon winds that took down power lines and i hear a tornado! But nooooooo! Do you think logic and rationality would prevail and the game would be cancelled! Those young 18-19 year old cute referees are scared to cancel a womyn's game! So on we played - soggy and cold and yours truly - a little grumpy and well dehydrated from all the Canada day cottage alcohol and coffee consumption!

At one point seemed like i had a hard time getting out of the goalie's box when she was tossing that little round thing called a ball. Hmm! also seems like i was having a hard time keeping the ball out of the middle - but hell so did Portugal the other day! Dang, the yelling on the sidelines was brutal, to the point that the ever so wonderful soley came and consoled the shivering cold and wet moi!

But, since i am the only contributor to this blog, i can say whatever! So, Megan and I on defence scored 2 goals each. Yap! We did 4 breakaways right on throught that team of teeny bobbers! We just hipchecked them aside and off we went as they went flying and they got yellow cards for getting in our way ;)

On a sad note, we lost 2-1, which is not bad cosidering we scored first! These goils were grumpy though, cuz ah, well, we had our proms in the 80s and they are going to theirs so - you know it is hard on those youngin's. Then they said they were faster than us - and well that just made us grumpy and faster!

This puts us 7th in the standings, midway, still one above well they who shall not be named....

We then went out the Quinns, a fine pub selected by our ozzy team mate shannon & her pal nat - they picked the lovely little spot cuz ah - well - as shannon said - "the bartender". Who are we to argue with a sistah! The poutine was fine, some of the goils did shooters (guess who!), and Peignam ate the biggest burger in the whole universe with a guiness. We are trying to fatten her up. When i went to settle my bill, a guest at the bar asked if she ate the whole thing! "And a guinness" to he said! Wow!

Lui got to experience apres soccer with 8 or so canadian womyn - a new kind of conversation he had never experienced before - I am not sure he will let me talk to his nieces and nephews after that! Or well - let any of them visit the untamed ;)

Pei promised to bring a map of nagaland to the next game so that all you gals can get learned about this fascinating part of the world! Shannon will send that picture of pei eating that hamburger i hope!

ps-who scored that goal btw?
