Saturday: Vesuvio edges Roosters 2-1, Fergies defeat Via
Vesuvio Beats Cocks on Saturday by Ben Graff Vesuvio started with 10 players while Happy Rooster had about 73 subs (actually, 4, but it seemed like they were yelling “Ref, sub” about every 2 minutes). This was especially difficult because (i) the clouds blew off and it was very hot and humid and (ii) Sacks is a legit regulation field (lotsa room to cover). Roosters started off strong with Abdul and Jerry linking up on the forward line, with Bill doing his best to chase Abdul all around the field from the defensive mid position. Rooster struck first off a nice shot from Amidou (I think after a corner kick) to put them up 1-0. Around this time, Robin had to leave for work. I’m not sure if they scored before or after she left. Anyway, after a while of watching Vesuvio chase while down a man, our wounded warrior Walter yelled out “who’s got some friggin’ socks?”. Yes, he was coming in like Willis Reed, bad leg and all. Walt ended up playing out wide in the mid and did a great job harassing the Rooster left back and interfering with the their offensive build-up. Dave got the first goal for the Calamaris with just a few minutes left in the half. It looked just like Hurst for England in ‘66. The ball hit the underside of the bar and deflected down, then out. The linesman confirmed that it crossed the line, so the game was tied. The second half was more of the same, with the both sides generating good chances while their respective defenses and keepers held tight. Marco ended up putting in the game winner for Vesuvio who then held on for the victory. It was a well fought game from both sides, with good sportsmanship all around. Ricky reffed, while Kevin, Zack and Golden Boot British James ran the lines. Thanks to them.
Fergies 3, Via 0 by jmp In the other game, Fergies beat Via 3-0. It was a much closer game than the score implies and the struggling bicycles actually played well. We had several penetrations and opportunities in the Fergies box, but could not convert. In all, a less than desired result but one more chance to play and gel as a team. As stated in the comments, Jimmy O., Tri, and Tim scored for the lucky charmers.

You know I got nothin’ but love and respect for Jerry, Fish and the boys (and girls).
yes it magically appeared nice try
Hello all,
I will be reffing tomorrows game Vesuvio Vs Via (Sacks), I need 2 volunteers to be linesman and we need a ref and 2 linesman for the game at Palumbo.
who’s the dirty bird that came up w/ that headline?
Man we’ll come back, and whoever apparently edited Ben’s post is really just hype for nothing.
Jimmy O., Tri, and Tim scored for Fergies. 3 goals and one horrible ref.
yo dudes– we need a ref at the palumbo game (8:00) for tomorrow. don’t leave us hanging. it will be ugly without some help– sidelines too. don’t be shy. tues. night TV sucks anyway.
Sorry bro, I’ll be playing at Sacks.
I can the first half, but I play at eight and someone has to watch agustina.
I would propose that each TEAM has to volunteer at least TWO (if not more) players to ref. It can not be that the same people are refering ALL the games.
This is something that the Board needs to discuss ASAP, or otherwise, we would be having problem for every game.
just my $ .05
PS. I do not mind refering games…I actually like it. And I will do it anytime.
Actually, that was one of the first points I made before the draft and it seems as though everyone ignored it or it could just be that I wasn’t clear enough. Its seems as though its the same bunch of people keep reffing. Come on people let return the favor.
Dave, is there a ref for the 7PM Vesuvio/Via game?
Ricky said he was going to do it but needs linesmen
I’m sick but will be there. Need linesmen.
Ricky, sorry to hear. Should I call other refs on the list?
it was my understanding that the refs would come from the pre-approved list. That those individuals were the most qualified to ref. If that is not the case, then I’d gladly ref the palumbo game tonight. Just let me know. Thanks.
Kevin
Admin, You can call other refs and i can do the line. I am in no mood to run around, Thanks. Also, Kev I don’t think we have a ref at Palumbo, so feel free. Thanks again.
I agree, Kev if you can do it that would be great.
I’ll be there.
