COACH'S RECAP OF SEASON

OVERALL RECORD WAS 10-2-1
GOALS Jimmy Butler 10, Chuck McGill 9

THANK YOU TO:
CHRIS ACARI: Nets/Lining of field
PAT: Helping Chris/ finding good fields and showing up before 10
DEAN: Our only new player who came in and really helped the team out!
TONY: Great Photos and support
DAVE: Mr. Classic and published author
That takes care of the routine stuff

The season was very successful on the field, but we also had our share of magical moments both on and off the field.

One of the success stories off the field this year was the publication of Dave’s first book. However the team added a new word to its vocabulary and that word was RE-GIFTING.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO HAS THAT COPY OF THE BOOK WE BOUGHT AND WHOS BIRTHDAY IS IT NEXT? I ALSO HEARD THAT FISHER WOULD APPRECIATE A SIGNED COPY FOR HIS WEDDING—IS THAT TRUE!!

THE BOOK has also spawned a movement within the team in that, the book should replace the CRAP AWARD and be given out at the end of each game. There would then be a test at following game and you would have to answer questions by Dave. Titles for the award have been submitted and range from:

THE OLDHAM (OH LET DOUG HAVEIT AGAIN MATES)
THE BLUES BOOK (THE BLUEY) (BLOODY LOSERS UNDERGOING EYE STRAIN)

This idea also gives a new meaning to the phrase “You are going to be “booked” and rumors that the referees have ordered several hundred copies of Dave’s book have yet to be confirmed.

However before we can make any radical changes, we were treated to a couple of CLASSIC MOMENTS when the CRAP AWARD was firstly given to Tony for pissing all over himself. Tony said it wouldn’t have happened but the crap award was just a wee bit too small to take a piss in and that the book would be better as it would be more absorbent.

Doug also likes the idea of the book because he can take it home and the word CRAP wouldn’t have to be explained.

Larry also like the idea of a book because now he has retired. He will be the first player to actually read it. This is of course contingent on all of his chores being done now he is not Jimmy Patterson’s whipping boy and the fact that after our first game against Richmond United, he finally found out he really does need contact lenses.

Seriously though, congrats Dave and we look forward to the next one!!!!!!!!

This year we had the weirdest weather conditions. We had rain, hail, snow, fog, wind and at least two earth tremors when Chuck proved that gravity will win every time over size 16 boots. To prove this point, Chuck decided to demonstrate this again but this time under laboratory conditions, when he keeled over during our Poker Night. Chuck still claims that it was all of the money in his pockets that caused the fall.

The wind played havoc with Paddy when we played Cliff Avenue when a sudden gust blew the ball towards his hand. Unfortunately he was imitating a tea pot at that exact moment which resulted in a penalty shot. The team has since adopted the HAND OF GOD 2 as a greeting.

Apparently all of September and most of October were really foggy in Langley because on October 26th, Billy McAuley finally found us and laced up his boots for the first time. However, it was Danny who was in a fog in the first half of this game and he decided to show Billy McAuley his goal scoring prowess. An opposition cross came over from their left and Danny proved he was indeed two footed when he dispatched a right foot volley inside the right hand post of our goal. Hack looked around to blame Dave but he wasn’t on the field to claim this beauty.

Speaking of beauties, one of the goals of the season was scored in the snowy conditions we experienced after the Christmas break. We were on cruise control against Richmond Pioneers (with 10 men Larry) when in the last minute of the game Rick decided to see how good of a goalie Dean really was. He was facing our goal when he placed an unstoppable half volley high into the top corner of our net. Dave tried to claim this highlight reel goal, but the slo-mo replay showed Dave was flat on his back at that moment. To add insult to injury after the game I heard Tony say I thought you said you had got a good replacement for Hack.

As everyone knows we have not been shy when communicating on or off the field and a lot of good banter gets thrown around. A couple of good stories were leaked to me and I would have to question their authenticity.

Firstly, when we were playing Cliff Ave., Alfie, who was wearing his SS Touque at the time turned around to Chris and said this is going to be another war out here. Chris then shouted “sub” and retreated to the sidelines. He then said he had to go home to make some food for the troups. Great food/Great time.

Secondly, on a financial note, I heard that club funds will be used to build a Physiotherapy Clinic for Mike Snow, Jimmy Butler and Chas Jones if there is any money left after funding Dave’s several trips to England to do book signings (oop’s that book again). Jimmy will also be receiving a map book while recuperating in order to find us on Sunday mornings.

An example of mis-communication was when I called Budgie and told him we were playing the Poles. I was taken aback by his response when he said he couldn’t make it as Maureen who had heard about the last time he had played a Pole said he should stay home and work around the house!!

Lastly Garry the word TACKLE means to stop an opposing player who has the ball not to flash your tackle to a gay guy who wants to ball YOU.

I will now turn this over to Dave to award some trophies
THANKS - Jim Eden
