i think we beat them 4-2 and 2-0 last year. we were tied 2-2 until late in the first game and we didn't net our second goal in the second game until about 10 minutes left.[Edited on February 19, 2011 at 4:15 PM. Reason : k]

^Yeah I remember how you guys got up 2-0 and then blew the lead only to win 4-2 late. The best one was your guys 3-1 (?) win over them in the spring with the diving header own goal that helped seal it for your team.
2/19/2011 4:19:38 PM
hahaha, i forgot about that! that was definitely the best Hibernian/Newcastle game.either that one or the only game we won in our first year in Men's league... we beat Newcastle 3-2 in our last game of the season and i got 2 goals and an assist... actually, i scored a pk in that game which was redemption for the pk i gave up at thomas brooks! (forgot that was against newcastle too) damn. some history up in here.]

This year sort of sucks because the games are so spread out since the league is 10 teams.Week 1Hibernian FC @ Middle Creek 2Sporting Raleigh SC @ Twin LakesThe Wingmen @ WRAL 4Week 4 March 19th10am Wingmen @ TBP212 pm Sporting Raleigh @ TBP22PM Hibernian FC @ TBP2We have a tdubb triple header that day. I might have to arrive early and stay late.

Don't count out the WIngmen, I think we have enough talent to make a run

2/19/2011 8:02:18 PM
^^That e-mail was in response to Charles and me wondering what colors all of the new teams will be wearing. It looks as though we won't have a conflict which will be nice.
2/19/2011 8:16:31 PM
Hey isn't it the rule that the home team has to change jersey's in case of a conflict?
2/19/2011 8:16:50 PM
^Yeah, so you may have to wear white that day. It depends on the shade of green. They let us play against Blizzard last season with both teams wearing blue since their shirts were a dark enough shade.
2/19/2011 8:24:36 PM
^That's good to hear, we play them as the away team, meaning we won't have to get another jersey
2/19/2011 8:26:28 PM
^I would still talk to them about it. I tried to tell Blizzard last season that we were blue and they needed to wear their green shirts, but they still didn't.
2/19/2011 8:35:31 PM
^Yea, I sent the email earlier, hopefully we can work something out
2/19/2011 8:45:41 PM
we are white. we didn't have any jersey conflicts last year, since SHW had a yellow or orange jersey when they played us.

actually schedules with dates are up on TASL for the season. I figured they would have a bye week during spring breaks but the only off weeks are April 16 and April 23.http://www.caslnc.info/casl/spring11/A_MAC1.HTM[Edited on February 22, 2011 at 8:46 PM. Reason : .]

Is there are tournament or something? I wonder why we have 2 weeks in a row off. Oh well, I have plans on the 16th anyway.

we've got 2 out tomorrow, so we should be ok. (if everyone that says they'll be there actually shows up)
2/25/2011 11:43:10 PM
OOPS! Panic attack over. We only have 2 missing. The fall passes are still good. It looks like we will have 4 players missing. That should be enough to allow myself to come off the bench last and make sure we don't have people going to the wrong places on the field.
2/26/2011 12:16:34 AM
Anyone interested in playing goalie for an intermediate indoor coed soccer team at NetSports? Season starts March 21 and games are on Wednesday nights.
2/26/2011 11:08:51 AM
Any game updates?
2/26/2011 4:28:39 PM
^How did you do? Bull City passes really well. They will put some losses on some teams this year.Bull City 6 Sporting 0The story of my soccer career. We have some players who can play though. The midfield and forwards will be really good when they get used to playing together. The defense could be a little stronger though. I was told we gave up a goal when only 10 players were on the field because no one listened to me when I said only sub in 3 at a time.
2/26/2011 7:11:27 PM
We came out pretty aggressive today and looked much better than Newcastle to start, but we couldn't finish our opportunities. Newcastle got a lucky bounce past our defenders and finished a 1-on-1 with our keeper to take a 1-0 lead, but after that, they didn't do jack. We were up 2-1 at half and finished it off with a 5-0 second half to start the season out with a 7-1 win. I had 5 shots, 3 on target and 2 goals. I had a rough season last year and didn't score, so getting on the score sheet today was a good feeling for me. Overall it was a great start to our season!
2/26/2011 8:51:38 PM
This group doesn't look too bad. Last year we had no really dangerous strikers. Some of our defenders aren't bad. Bull City got lucky. Our GK knocked the ball down to keep it in bounds when it was going to miss the goal by about 2 feet. They got a goal off of that. It was all pretty much down hill after that. Did Newcastle have their same roster that they have had since I started playing in this league? We get them in 2 weeks. Next week we play Raleigh FC.
2/26/2011 8:59:52 PM
lol they got lucky and scored 6 goals? thats a little more than luck
2/26/2011 9:25:04 PM
We lost 1-0 to the flying dogs. Don't let the score fool you, our keeper didn't show up and we completely dominated the game (10 shots on goal to their 3). Flying dog's keeper played a great game, even though the ref can't see when he is lying in mid way in the goal with the ball [Edited on February 26, 2011 at 10:38 PM. Reason : grammar ]
2/26/2011 10:35:28 PM
also ^^ lol
2/26/2011 10:36:49 PM
Bull city did have like 1-2 lucky goals but once we got behind, I feel like a lot of us gave up. Substitutions are still a problem though. People stay in too long, plat the wrong positions and pretty much mess up any kind of formation we might have. We will get better though and will definitelt do better than 0-9-1.
2/26/2011 11:23:30 PM
also, Royal Pains won 8-2 today, but Raleigh FC only had 8 players.
2/27/2011 2:19:55 AM
One of the guys from Raleigh FC was picking up player passes before me on Friday.Donna was like "..... I only have 5 passes with pictures for you" and dude was like "yeah, the other guy is working on it"I don't understand why people wait until the last minute.
2/27/2011 9:08:04 AM
yeah, really. it's obviously not the smartest plan. i don't know if they had more people there that couldn't play or if they only had 8 people actually show up.
2/27/2011 10:54:54 AM
who else scored for Hibernian?
2/27/2011 11:06:29 AM

2/27/2011 11:57:43 AM
You should give your players set positions whether they show up every week or not. It doesn't do anyone any good if you've got a player who thinks he can play somewhere but really can't.
2/27/2011 12:19:57 PM
^I've done that, but saying and doing are 2 different things once the game gets going. People just need to not get so excited about getting to play and wait till the players get off the field before entering. The good news is I liked my starting back line without me, so hopefully I won't have to ever start a game this season and can be the last off the bench every game to make sure people go to the right places.It's a new group and we'll get used to playing together.
2/27/2011 12:32:14 PM
so what you're saying is you let your team walk all over youthat explains a lot[Edited on February 27, 2011 at 4:30 PM. Reason : .]
2/27/2011 4:30:20 PM
^No I don't let them do that. They listen to me just fine. It was the first game though and some people were just a little too excited.Also, if anyone is interested, the turn out for 2:30 pm has been lacking at Dorthea Dix the past 3 Sundays.
