Tourney: Epiphanie Bike polo Tournament - 1er et 2 Février 2014 - ROUEN

Thanks for the feedback, I guess as the rules get explained better over the next month all will be easier for players and refs.

Sad not to be there, has Rouen thought about a live tombola draw? You know make it a big event..I reckon I have more chance of a random draw than a NHS internet connection!

...just my point of view...
I love this post.

at first i loved it, but then i started to hate this song. And now, i'm having withdrawal symptoms

Sounds like Rouen was emotional this year.

Dun, dun-dun dee-de-dah, dun. Dun-dun dee-de-dah, dun. Deeeeeeeeaaar-dah, doo-dah, de-dah-de-do-dah. Dun...

Dun, dun-dun dee-de-dah, dun. Dun-dun dee-de-dah, dun. Deeeeeeeeaaar-dah, doo-dah, de-dah-de-do-dah. Dun...

Thats not how it goes

Don't kill me if I will say something wrong, i've just arrived home after tournament :P

I think that we really should work on refs mentality. They are just too shy... If you see unclean game in football it is getting even more unclear if ref is not resolute... The ref passivity is the reason why games are starting to be a little brutal.. If ref will give you 2min suspension you will not risk again... There were really hard checks from behind, steering arm checks and crazy bike to bike contacts that should never occur and there were no man advantages during all the tournament....

In every other aspect tournament was great... accommodation, food, party, courts, atmosphere etc etc etc. Best time ever ... The Beardless want to do it next year, we are already warming up our fingers to fill registration form as fast as possible :)

PS.
please somebody, take this song out of my head :P

Dun, dun-dun dee-de-dah, dun. Dun-dun dee-de-dah, dun. Deeeeeeeeaaar-dah, doo-dah, de-dah-de-do-dah. Dun...

You forgot the start bit! Or was it the end?

Great to finally play at epiphanie, but let's face it tinder>bike polo

Did you Tinder in Rouen? What radius did you go for?

Max took it next level with face to face real life tinder

Woah. Face to face, 5 metre radius? Pro shit.

There were really hard checks from behind, steering arm checks and crazy bike to bike contacts that should never occur and there were no man advantages during all the tournament....

Name names. If refs are still too passive then you should call people out for the bullshit here.

Right now, Rouen is sounding a bit like this…

@snoops
For sure I don't want to stigmatize certain person.

The thing that I want to say is that we should use more 30 seconds or 2 minutes man-advantages .... the problem with calling only ball turnover is that there is no risk in committing a defensive foul while you don't have a ball to turn it over :P

First Final

Did anyone record the hooks vs beardless? was a great game

That was an amazing game! Probably my favourite game of the tournament.
3-0 Beardless after 3 minutes? Hooks catching up, 3-3 and beardless winning 4-3. Crowd cheering for the local heroes but also for the underdogs, great game.

Unfortunately my battery was running low and I wanted to save it for the final games ;(

Yep, great game. Except hooks took two shitty goal by loosing the ball in front of the goal leaving it to whom who wanted it to score.
Shame on you guys ! Shame on your family ! Shame on your grandma ! :)

Second final

11:59 from the 1st game
Not really clean, Luca's angle from ball line seems a t-bone plus that arm....

That was bicep/shoulder boyyy

Yeah, clean imo.

Superpoopa does well to get pretty parallel with Dodi and the arm does not add any momentum, but sinks into his body.

Fucks up Will though. le lol.
