Our next game in the SASL is another away game against Wallingford Morelia. Again, a new team to me and all I know is they have won their first two games away to the Eagles ( 3-2 ) and Hamden ( 4-0). Last year they came third in the league behind Sport Columbia and the Albanian Eagles wining 6, losing 9 and drawing 3. So this should be another tough game but lets hope we don't give this team two goals of a start like we did last week! We need to turn up ready to roll and not take 45 minutes to finally get into gear. Looks like we will have much better weather for the game and a reasonable squad. The beer boy is >>>>>> El Gato!!
Directions to the field are here;
Now, like last week, these directions are taken directly from the SASL field directions master list..... I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACCURACY!!
In addition, if you arrange to pick someone up then decide not to please tell them! Or at least tell another one of your team mates! Do not leave it to telepathy...... this has been proven not to work!!
Buenos dias! I spoke to El Flaco a few minutos ago...he has no hard feelings about the mix up last Sunday. However, he said he can't play with us this week due to a conflict with his New Haven team.
ReplyDeleteLooks like perfect weather coming our way!
........Jodingo!!, I'd check back on Saturday, as sometimes his other games fall through!
ReplyDeleteArniesto, ru in for Sunday?
Will do, Roniildo, but doubt any games are cancelled this week due the spectacular weather conditions we'll have Sunday.
ReplyDelete......sometimes nothing to do with weather :-)

ReplyDeleteGood Luck boys! keep the streak alive!

There is still hope for Roniildo and Johnaldo!
Attention fat boys (soccer fans too)
ReplyDeletePractice today 6:30pm until dark at Calvin Leete school, Guilford.
I may meet Dave, but he is working outside right now, so will see, I leave a message on his cell and at the main office too.
John,
ReplyDeleteWe need to check the accuracy of the directions. I know from the past that sometimes the directions are inaccurate or changed. We need to emphasize the accuracy of the directions with other team managers and double check it ourselves with google map or yahoo. It's worth the effort and will eliminate confusions Sunday morning for all of us.
Tom....sure....anyone want to do it? I've got a few activities for the team on my plate already
ReplyDeleteChampions League Draw occuring right now!
ReplyDelete.......best thing is to post street address for the fields to punch into the GPS. Tano already did this for the Wallingford field on Sunday
ReplyDelete........from Tano yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThis is the exactly address for GPS input for next game.
And the fields(2) are on the back.
1052 EastCenter st wallingford ct.06492
The park name is:
" Vietnam Veteran Memorial Park"
John,
ReplyDeleteWe have a field coordinator, don't we? All field diections can be checked in advance for the accuracy before posting on blog
who will be Messi, Ronney or Milito?
ReplyDeleteAnd the winner is?
ReplyDeleteDiego Milito!!!
tano... look at Group G already!
ReplyDeleteGroup G: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Ajax
Group C: MANCHESTER UNITED, Valencia, RANGERS
ReplyDelete....want another tough team in this section too...
........El Gato has done a fine job at coordinating our home game fields with Madison Town, but what you are suggesting is verifying street addresses of the away fields, so that we can arrive on time. Tom, would you like to volunteer for this new team job? it would be very helpful, because the SASL directions do not always provide street address for GPS input!
ReplyDelete....good bye Rangers
ReplyDeleteGroup H: ARSENAL, Shakhtar Donetsk, SC Braga, FK Partisan
ReplyDeleteGroup A: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, TOTTENHAM, FC Twente
Group B: Lyon, Benfica, Schalke, Hapoel Tel Aviv
Group F: CHELSEA, Marseille, Spartak Moscow, MSK Zilina
Group D: FC Barcelona, Panathinaikos, FC Copenhagen, Rubin Kazan
Group G: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Ajax, Auxerre
Group C: MANCHESTER UNITED, Valencia, RANGERS, Bursaspor
Group E: Bayern Munich, AS Roma, FC Basel, CFR Cluj
Group G is the group of death!
ReplyDeleteGroup C Manchester inhabitants will not be looking forward to having the Rangers fans back in their city after the mayhem and destruction they caused there after the UEFA cup Final a few years ago

ReplyDelete.........because they are killer awesome. I don't know auxerre
ReplyDelete..... a really good French team
ReplyDelete.........we could set a pool on who will win, like they do for American Football?
ReplyDeleteGroup G looks very impressive. Those teams have won the cup TWENTY times between them. They've also been runners-up nine times!
ReplyDelete..........now I get why killer group :-) That's impressive stats
ReplyDeleteWe are cheers for Halil(Bursasport)Team this year when they play against Rangers.
ReplyDeleteTano....yes and cheer for Man Utd and Valencia!!
ReplyDeleteYes Johnaldo:
ReplyDeleteGroup G so scary.
Poor Auxerre first time at champ league.
Maybe Valencia but for ManU let's them kill each others lol.
ReplyDeleteRon,
ReplyDeleteSorry my friend I am not a field coordinator.
........thanks TOMA
ReplyDeleteYes Tom I am the field coordinator. Directions on how to get to the Wallingford field. Go to SASL website the directions are there and also john has it on the fixture. Beyond that my friend you are on your own to figure it out. It's called the GPS
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping a few guys can't find the field so that the rest of us get more playing time...ha!
ReplyDeleteHulk can not attend practice.....working 3 - 11 today
ReplyDeleteJodingo:
ReplyDeleteOr call me for directions and I made him more lost ...ha!
hulk hogan: you Rock my frien you don't need practice at all, after what you did last Sunday,
I wish Annie was there to get you with pic in the hall of fame.
El Gato,
ReplyDeleteI know you are the nominated field coordinator and most of us but not all who are computer savy know how to check the blog or go to SASL site for field directions...but the question was the accuracy of directions....last Sunday I was helping 4 of our players by phone from home with my navigation device. lol...with directions to the Waterbury field. I just thought that it would be a good idea to check other field directions to eliminate any confusion in future. But if you think is not necessary, I will leave it alone then. Just remember, not everyone reads blog or uses the computer or has GPS
I gues I just leave it as
Celtic crash and burn out of Europe..... shocking 4-0 loss in Holland
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo:
ReplyDeleteCeltic Glasgow need to buy an Argentinian player, or at least a brzilian on sale.
What about Enrique or Jodingo? ;o)
Tano... they couldn't do any worse!
ReplyDeleteI'm so depressed after that Celtic result but I'm glad I'm not in Glasgow right now listening to the gloating of Rangers "fans" and the anti Celtic press..... they will be loving this
ReplyDelete..........I hear you Johnaldo! If the bhoys keep crashing out like this we will need to consider new uniform and name...no that would be blasphemous. what happened to the good old larson days gone by :-(
ReplyDeleteTom... those players that don't have email, or don't check the blog have to be called. Then someone can read them the instructions word by word.... alternatively we could start offering a car service to pick those players up and take them to the game and back....we could maybe extend this service into their normal lives because they must have problems finding lots of places like the local Big Y or McDonalds. You would think guys over the age of 40 can work out for themselves where to go!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, short of actually travelling to the place how do we know if the instructions are accurate?
Roniildo.... it's been a bad couple of years... to think we were beating AC Milan, Man Utd, Juventus to name just a few, only 3 or 4 years ago!!
ReplyDeleteTomassito,
ReplyDeleteyou are more than welcome to drive the route to wallingford field for accuracy. Otherwise we should trust the website. Ronildo has seen the field and said looks good. I offer my services to carpool from the circle for anyone who needs it.
Johnaldo,
ReplyDeleteNext time you go to Big Y call me we go shopping together so I would not get lost....
What a wasting time to go there to the practice we were 16 vs 16 imaging that.
ReplyDeletewas more like a rugby game.
I didn't see Dave he didn't show only Tomassito and Halil.
See you Sunday Guys and BTW, I know how to get to any soccer field in the world, even one in Linwood High School near Johnstone City UK. So don't worry about me and La Boca.
Heyyyy! Kids.... The oldest guy, 53years old, is caming back this sunday in wallingford. TANO: The grumpy guy plays this sunday, be careful. I'll drive direct to the field. CONNECTICUTCELT: "EL GUANTE BLANCO" back.
ReplyDeleteJorge! Great to see you back in action! we need your gooooaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllssssssssss!

ReplyDeleteHello All,
ReplyDeletePlease read the attached email, below. This is a soccer fund-raiser in Glastonbury this coming Sunday to aid the Pakistan flood relief effort. This is not a sanctioned USSF (CSSA or CJSA) event, but many thanks to CSSA President Dan Rooney for forwarding me the announcement. The organisers are holding a cook-out/picnic (food provided) and there will be pick-up soccer too -- all for $20 per person, all of which will be donated to UNICEF.
I am sure you will agree this is a worthy cause. If you can make it, you will have fun and be well fed and your $20 will go a long way to helping the victims.
Cheers,
- Garry Archer (SASL Executive Board)
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteAs you have already heard in the news about the recent catastrophe in Pakistan, it?s the worst humanitarian crisis in decades. The UN Secretary General calling it a slow tsunami.
If you got a chance to see the heart breaking images of people affected in the region, you know what I am talking about. The worst part is, it?s the poorest areas and the poorest people who don?t have much to begin with that are affected by the floods.
There has got to be something we can do. Not asking for much. Therefore, Kash, Babar and I are doing a fundraiser cookout and the proceeds will help the people affected in Pakistan. We will donate every single penny to the UNICEF.
So here?s the plan:
Mark the date. Sunday, Aug 29 at 2 PM, we will have a cookout at the open space next to JB Williams park in Glastonbury (705 Neipsic Road, just after the intersection of Neipsic/Wickham Road). We have almost decided on the park. I will update soon. We will provide the food, sodas, ice, amenities and the fun. It will be a nice social event. We?ll even play soccer amongst ourselves. Feel free to BYOB.
All we ask is $20 per person and remember it?s a noble cause. If you want to contribute more, you are welcome too. If you can?t make it, you can still contribute for this cause. Please do consider joining us on Sunday or at least contributing if you can?t make it. Just, imagine if we were in that situation. I am hoping to get a huge turnout. Please do join. Babar, Kash and I will forever be grateful. Don't think much, just show up with a $20 in your pocket.
Additional facts:
? More than 15 million people affected
? More than 1,600 dead
? 2 million homeless
? 1,300 villages affected in Punjab alone
? Worst flooding in 80 years
? Landslides and flashfloods are washing away entire villages
? Thousands of homes destroyed; thousands of acres of farmland uprooted
? Water-borne disease like diarrhea and cholera threaten the victims
AND COUNTING?..
Experts have predicted the Pakistan flood could be worse than the previous three major world disasters...combined.
Maurizio Giuliano, a spokesperson for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, has warned that the number of people affected by the Pakistan flood could be more than Haiti's January earthquake, the 2004 tsunami and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake combined.
Please email me @ nomie.114@gmail.com asap so I have a headcount. Please feel free to invite anyone else interested, friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, etc.
Roniildo... did you use your or my address?
ReplyDelete..........Johnaldo, I used my address for TP's pass. I just think since JQ sent that email out that he was travelling, he may have missed TP. He should be back now though? If it gets delivered today or tomorrow, I'll let you know right away, so as TP doesn't make the WFD trip for nothing, although he could cheer us on :-)
ReplyDeleteROnildo:
ReplyDeleteAll those mail for now no answer?
DS may lost as player like tears in the rain.
Roniildo... ok, thanks
ReplyDeleteOhh Roniildo:
ReplyDeleteI know I may have your attention with Linwood HS. lol.
is the most near soccer field from Renfrewshire the I saw traveling on Google earth.
Tano... look up some Lanarkshire or East Kilbride fields... thats where i played as a kid!
ReplyDelete............Tano, you can walk from Linwood to my mom's house LOL
ReplyDeleteI get familiar with the streets for walk there by 2011 tour.
ReplyDelete........that would be awesome Tano. It will be great to have a full team from Madison, if we get invited back...need to be on our best behavior, and not embarass Johnaldo....LOL
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo:
ReplyDeleteAfter the game lets go to Tesco and get some bannocks and some stovies for snacks.
RoniIldo: I almost forget the we have an invitation from SASL to Argentina.
ReplyDeleteHello All,
ReplyDeleteI have since been informed that this event has been cancelled. No reasons were given. My apologies for any inconvenience.
- Garry
Bannocks and stovies! that's an athletes diet!
ReplyDeleteGuys.... Roniildo and Tano have just informed me that we have managed to sign a new player from Guilford Hawks. His name is Dave Slade and he is a very strong attacking midfielder and forward. Some of you will know him from the goals he has scored against us in the past! We are in the process of getting him registered at SASL and he should be available for selection in the next two weeks! Welcome Dave!
ReplyDelete..........Welcome Dave! We are looking forward to seeing you scores for us now :-)If the SASL registrar mails back your pass to Johnaldo this week, you will be eligible for next week's match.
ReplyDeleteBig thanks to Tano for finding Dave at he right time!!!
Need a signed Waiver form from Pink and Daviildo
ReplyDeleteAlso Ron/John need their (Pink and Dave)info for ref. roster when they are registered to play. Please email me the info., Thanks
ReplyDeleteRoniildo there is no game next weekend
ReplyDeletes my pleasure to help.
ReplyDeleteI was worry when when all these games I saw that there wasn't 100% attendance to our games, like La Boca, Carlos now Gogg and Jack, plus some injured guys, like Tom Safet, Ron or me, too.
So is good to have some stamina guy added to the squad.
Welcome Dave to the best east shore team.
And thank you John and Ron to add my old partner to Madison Celtic.
Just found out yesterday that i fractured my right shoulder 8 weeks ago playing against Southington.... that explains why it's been hurting like crazy for 2 months
ReplyDeleteAre you wearing cast? it is the common Salter-Harris 1 fracture?
ReplyDeleteHope you getting better soon.
At least you can use your other arm for drinking
:-) Get well, my friend.
..................johnaldo, HS! Can you still play tomorrow. Higgs and Arniesto both out. Just talked with Safet. He will most likely play, unless his injury worsens today! With a diminising squad, tomorrow will be very tough, but we can, as we have demonstrated, overcome adversity!!!
ReplyDeleteEl G, Dave and TP's ID and roster info already in mail to JQ, so no worries there. I will email you their. You just need them to sign waiver forms.....correct?
no cast.... cortisone injection to reduce the inflammation around the ligament damage ( ripped the ligaments too )... may need an op if it doesn't heal over the next month... he said i can keep playing because i have already been for the last 8 weeks.... he said the worse that can happen is that i damage it more and have to go for the op earlier!
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo:
ReplyDeleteYou may consider to play with shoulder pads like american football player. So tomorrow your position will be cornerback?
Seriously: now, that we know of your injury will give us a little scary to play like that. I'm not sure if Roniildo let you do so. But will see, who tough they are, and you may play some minutes.
See you tomorrow.
Tough draw today.... felt like a loss in the end.... but an 8 goal thriller is always good for the fans!
ReplyDeleteJohn please call me 860-395-8513
ReplyDeleteOrange beat Guilford 3-1 so the top of the table is very tight now Wallingford top with 7, Guilford next with 6, then Orange on 6 then us on 5
ReplyDeleteReport tomorrow.... can't write it without swearing right now....
