This week's fixtures & results League II (winter 2009/2010)

Em - super nice report

question : "Mike calls Vidal a cheat as he didn't rewturn to his D after any goal was scored."

2 of the 3 players have to return to their D while the other team has to wait till that s done to cross the middle line - is this correct ?

From the rules:

"The conceding team takes possession of the ball. No conceding player with or without the ball can then pass half court until at least two players of the scoring team have returned to their goal area, one of these players can be a ‘goalie’ who was already in the goal area. In the case of the scoring team taking undue time returning to their goal, the referee can call ‘game on’. Likewise, in the case of the conceding team taking undue time taking the ball past half court, the ref can call ‘game on’."

Nothing here (or that I can find elsewhere) on all 3 players having to return the the goal area.

the section just above that:

"After a goal is scored, the scoring team must return to their own goal area and cannot come back across center court until the ball or any player of the conceding team has come past center court."

Em - fantastic report!

thanks Tom - we re gonna have someinternational bike polo refs convention soon I guess

Nice one Hassan.

So... let the games begin.

I missed Hassan's epic stack into the back to the goal behind his own cones. That one looked like it hurt.

ha! it did.

and not my own cones, was trying to score a malletless (and not legal but entirely worthwhile) goal.

Ah, second game then, I hadn't written it in my notes. At the time I just figured that one wouldn't slip my mind.

Dinos, when is your man back from his travels?

He gets back next weekend from what i'm aware i'm afraid. I didn't find out until shortly before he left and i didn't see him betwwen finding out and him leaving so i don't have dates and the like. sorry homes.

So who is going to Newington tonight to watch the Beards v Sparkle? Enough for throw-ins before/after/during?

yes

need some heckling andy

Oh and Beards, when are you free to play Malice? Tues/Wed/Thurs next week?

yes, plenty! come on andy, aint see you for ages.

beards need to play apples before you can have a go with them.

I can't remember last time I played throw-ins. It's been ages!

I thought you were playing them Monday?

are we?

i should be there 7ish beards. we are the only game tonight - i believe

Em mentioned it last night. Maybe not, he was quite drunk.

ha
i dunno, it's up to old man bill, he's the one who can't decide when he can play or not.

Is anyone going to be there earlier than 7pm? Trying to work out whether to sneak out of work early..

i got to sell a bike on route, if they are late i am late so 7 is my opener

Put the price up if they are late. £1 per minute. This is polo, man!

I said I wanted to play them Monday. Not that we were playing them Monday.

Beards need to stop being pussies and play us already.

and us ...
