City draws with Montgomery

2007-10-01T09:59:00.000-04:00

September 30, 2007. by Larry RedKard Kurtz.

Another bright brisk morning at Ferris began with Montogmery's players showing up late, angering the ref and leaving their sidelines with few subs. The first 10 minutes saw Montgomery attack again and again, distributing the ball nicely, creating several corner kick opportunities, and some angst in city's back line, as Tim The Goalie was watching from the sidelines as the Gaffer donned the gloves in backup role. However, JCFC was able to withstand the offensive and eventually turned the play around. A solid effort of challenging 50/50's, fitness and superior numbers on the bench, helped JCFC win field position most of the game.

City's best chance in the first half fizzled when Shesh squeezed between two Montgomery defenders to create a one on one with the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was up to the task as he not only stole the ball off Shesh's foot, but almost stole his foot.

The second half saw more field position being won by JCFC. Montgomery was playing on counter attacks and one almost squeezed in with a soft cross that Token McDermott was able to win and knock away from the offender. A golden opportunity arose when Eddie Viagra broke free from the left and had a one on one with the goalkeeper, but unfortunately, a final touch went a bit too far off the feet and right into the keepers hands. With under 5 minutes remaining, JCFC won a indirect free kick from under 16 yards out. George blasted a shot that ricochet off the keeper's hands, bouncing off the top post and onto Larry's head for the game-winner. Unfortunately, the ball touched the upper goal post which is out of bounds. Game ended 0 to 0.

For the first time, JCFC deployed a formation with five midfielders--a key to the match as city still created offensive opportunities and was able to flood the midfield and control the ball.

Man of the Match. A nomination for Juan, who with some key aggressive saves held Montgomery out of our net. Another nomination, for solid defending despite 3 hours of sleep goes to DOB.
BFM wrapped it all up nicely, giving Man of the Match to the back five--Juanhaldino, DOB, Mary Poppins, Token English and Mike (plus BFMs 8 minute sub stint.)

DOB is having triplets as we all learned at The Merchant.

Also, big thanks to Montgomery, as we have decided to lift the Munchkin label as several of their members joined JCFC for drinks and shots at The Merchant.

Next week's game is at home vs. Parma. Big game.

JCFC drops game vs. Essex

2007-10-01T09:58:00.000-04:00

September 24, 2007 - 06:00 PM -- Not the most pleasurable article, by Larry YellowCard Kurtz

JCFC seemed confident to take it to Essex United on a humid Sunday morning in South Orange. JCFC and EUFC went back and forth, both creating chances early on. An opportune cross from Jess onto Sebastian's head rocketed over the post. As the half wore on, EUFC took it to JCFC, almost scoring twice. Tim was able to turn away both chances. Unfortunately, if you continue to give EUFC time, they'll capitalize, as they finally broke through for the first goal. Half 1-0. The second half opened up with EUFC moving the ball nicely, as JCFC found it difficult to control first touches and put enough pressure on EUFC offense. A funny and lucky bounce off DOB's chest oddly landed on an EUFC offensive players foot who one timed it past the diving Tim. JCFC was able to finally rebound and make a contest of it when George found Jess on the far right who banged it past the athletic keeper of EUFC with under 10 minutes remaining. Unfortunately, time ran out and the final score was 2 to 1.First touches need to improve. Short passes need to be made. Red Card received a yellow for some minor offenses. . JCFC still will be in 2nd place at the end of the day, so we got to get results to keep pace. EUFC improved to 1-1-1 (4 points)Man of the Match, Mike Burke in his second start in the defense did our side proud.Honorable Mention, Jesse Mallen-- playing with the flu, Jesse was all over the pitch, finally getting one goal back, albeit not quite enough

JCFC wins home opener at new pitch..wearing Yellow!

2007-10-01T09:57:00.000-04:00

September 17, 2007 - 01:00 PM -- By Larry RedKard Kurtz.

Wearing yellow, debuting a new home pitch and missing a large chunk of the starting eleven, JCFC began their home stand at Ferris HS field on a brisk Sunday morning with a makeshift squad due to vacations, injury and unplugged alarm clocks.OS Portugas showed up earlier than most of the City squad, which proved important, as Portugas opened the scoring in the fourth minute mark as the winger got free of the defense and placed a well struck left footed strike from 25 yards out over the JCFC keepers fingertips. JCFC seemed to lose heart, not winning many 50/50 balls and letting the Portugas players continue to hold on to the ball. Several corner kick opportunities fell by the wayside with near misses as City strikers failed to capitalize. Missing BFM on the sidelins to direct the subbing, the gaffer got in the game on the right flank, and towards the 35 minute mark, Eddie Viagra yet again crossed a ball from the left flank with his right foot, this one skimmed over the defense onto an awaiting and open Juanhaldino, who patiently gathered the ball and right footed it inside the keeper's near post.Halftime 1 to 1.The 2nd half began with JCFC dominating all over the field. JCFC continually used its fitness level to win 50/50 challenges and maintain the momentum. Attack after attack ended in no shots until finally, a long throw from Jesse was headed to the back of the box by The Goregous one where Shesh half volleyed the baall past the keeper into the right side of the goal for the winning difference.Stats. JCFC has outscored the first 2 opponents 6 to 2. Tim made some key saves shutting down the Portugas crossing opportunities. Man of the Match: Shesh, delivering the winning goal to put JCFC at the top of the North B standings at 2 wins in as many games. First caps for Adrian, Roman, and Mike. Next match away vs Essex United, and the hopes of seeing the likes of Gustavo and another token gibson in the lineup.

JCFC Merchantier Dinosaurs domnate and win

2007-09-13T12:24:00.000-04:00

On a sunny and humid morning at Elizabeth's Brophy Park. JCFC faced a skilled Central Espanol team, newly formed as a breakaway from US Parma's last season’s campaign. JCFC went into the game with confidence as the last meeting vs. then league-leading Parma resulted in City's best games of the season, followed by a an off-season friendly that resulted d in the first summer win for City when CE showed with a questionable keeper.City got the first strike in, on a swift service from George on the right blank, as the ball was not handled by the CE keeper, Seba got his head onto he ball which found Larry's tapping it in to the back of the net. JCFC 1-0 Central Espanol.Central Espanol fought hard to tie it up at 1 all with a vicious delivery from 25 yards out that left the city keeper flailing at the streaking ball.JCFC 1-1 Central EspanolJCFC took exception and quickly returned the favor when another Gorgeous George cross off from a free kick found its way to the far left post and Shesh headed the ball off the bounce into the back of the net. JCFC 2-1 Central EspanolThe match then took a slightly humorous route, as Jesse "The Hammock" Mallen, near the midfield stripe on the left flank, cleared a high ball towards the box, all on the pitch clearly heard the Central Espanol keeper shout out "I’ve got it covered" only to see the ball bounced over his head and into the back of the net. It was around this time in the match that the sidelines turned into laughter as Jerry "Columbus" Schubert was seen climbing over the far wall looking for a lost ball and Barry "BFM" Morgan was head to remark, "..There goes Columbus exploring..." JCFC 3-1 Central EspanolNearing the end of the first half, a key moment occurred as a CE defender over challenged Joe "Irish Jose" O'Beirn and continued with additional lip service for the referee. The Espanol player, who turned out to be their captain received a yellow for the head but and subsequent yellow, resulting in a red card, for bickering with the ref.JCFC opened up the half with confidence, a 3-1 score and one man advantage. CE showed their desperation to catch up and bring it to within one at least. JCFC valiantly fought off the attack as its defense began to tighten up as it became used to the tight confines of the pitch. As CE continued to attack and bring man forward, City gave a breather to it starters to keep them fresh for the last fifteen. The match nearly turned ugly, as the Gaffer, in at the top looking for a score himself, was caught by a flying elbow to the mouth by CE's defending giant, but as the ref swallowed his whistle, the lack of call and taste of his own blood prompted a quick and devastating tackle by Hidalgo that put the CE man up in the air and onto the ground for a few minutes. City players quickly called for the gaffer to step off and cool off, and off he went only to receive a yellow card, not for the tackle, but for substituting without permission from the man in black. City countered again and again in the second half, only to be called, on toss'em up calls for offside, until in the late stages of the 2nd half Jerry "The Beast" took a ball down the right flank, drew the two defenders to him and slyly crossed it into the path of an oncoming Shesh, who calmly slipped the ball past the rogue goalkeeper for JCFC's fourth and final goal.JCFC 4-1 Central EspanolMan of the Match. A difficult decision this week, as there were many outstanding contributions in all areas. Mallen, Guerin, Schubert, Donohoe were all nominated. The gaffer nominated BFM for it was his lineup and game plan that laid out the opportunity.Thus the game of the match, JCFC. Pints for everyone.

2006-10-26T08:47:00.000-04:00

Well played game vs better foe. We'll get them in the springSunday saw a great effort by the dinosaurs, only to be undone by Parma's experience and a handful of balls that bounced the wrong way. Parma's first goal came off when their man was left with plenty of space to find a bit of dry land within the mud--the shot was well placed to the back post. City fought back, missing several chances while Tim kept the back of the net empty with some saves that had those on the sidelines wondering who this flying monster of a goalie was. It was all for naught... we did see a well struck shot by Meshesha late in the game, as well as fire blazing out of George's eyes as he went forward on and on, unable to break Parma's defense. Once Parma placed the ball in our net for the fourth time, the gaffer decided to give Tim a rest, keep his goals against avg down, and Juan thus pulled on his goalie shorts and went and got muddy while making a couple of pretty decent saves. A loss, yet not a stinging loss. No shame in losing to a better side while playing your balls off. Next week, Middletown Inter, an away game... and the best chance this season to see, JCFC's starting 11 for the first time together on the pitch

Game vs Essex United 10/15

2006-10-26T08:46:00.000-04:00

JCFC improves to 3 wins, 2 defeats, 1 tie.JCFC again flexed its muscle on the road defeating Essex United 4 goals to 2 in South Orange, NJ. JCFC took the early lead on Sebastian's first goal of the game. Shortly thereafter, Sebastian capitalized on a goalie error, when, conveniently, he fucked up a clear, and the ball went right back to Sebastian who flipped it over the keepers head into the goal. Thanks Keep. Essex fought back when they fired a rebound from twenty two yards out to close the gap to 2 to 1. But, JCFC determined not to play with their heads down, scored another goal when Mesh capitalized before the half. Essex was able to close the gap again when on a corner kick, they scored on a head ball. JCFC scrambled to keep the ball out of the net. Late in the game, their keeper mishandled a shot by George, JCFC was awarded a corner kick. Assane placed the ball beautifully and George knocked it home for the security goal. Notes: We gave up another corner kick goal. Though, corners on that short side to side field are more difficult to defend. 50/50 balls were not won in the 2nd half as much in the first half. Road record is now 3 wins and 1 defeat. Unbelievably, JCFC has never trailed at half (4 leads, 2 tie). Too bad we don't play 45 minute games.

Vs. FC Dynamo 10/8

2006-10-26T08:43:00.000-04:00

Despite a makeshift defensive unit, JCFC was a formidable task for FC Dynamo to beat. FCD nearly scored on a few well played balls, but thanks to the goal post, the game remained zero vs. zero at halftime. Not to be forgotten, JCFC had several opportunities to have some chances also. Going into the 2nd half, JCFC were determined to win the mid field. The first 10 to 15 minutes was dominated by JCFC. Carlos provided a golden opportunity, as he picked up the ball in the left mid field and perfectly placed the ball to Mesh who beat two defenders and the goalie for the lead goal. Unfortunately, FCD was able to begin to apply pressure the last 16 minutes and scored on two beautiful goals. With the score tied at 1, George near posted a shot that may have changed the outcome. Mesh has two goals on the season and has provided JCFC with a good threat to score at any moment. Sean made some really nice plays at the defender position, along with George anchoring the middle. Tim was again solid in goal. Tim has provided a stability in goal and that is so key to an up and coming team like JCFC. Next week is Essex United at home, we can win this game. With the improved play of our middle and forwards, JCFC is looking to go to a 4 4 2 next game. Parma defeated Bayonne 4 to zero. A Parma player said they were the weakest team they faced. Parma has also beaten FC Dynamo 2 to 1 and Lacey 3 to 1, and tied Middletown.

Game Vs Monmouth 10/1

2006-10-26T08:32:00.000-04:00

JC 2 MC 0Even rain couldn't prevent the determined Merchantiers from Jersey City from taking 3 points home with them. JCFC dominated the first 25 minutes of the first half, controlling most of the action on the Monmouth clubs half. Finally, a ball was centered and Gerard one touched it into the net from about 5 yards out. The rain continued for most of the game. In the second half, Mesh capitalized on an error by a Monmouth defender and raced in toward the goal, beating the goalkeeper and sliding the ball to Steve who nailed it into the back of the net from 1 yard out. Congratulations to Tim who made a key stop toward the last 15 minutes of the game and captured the shutout. Merchant Dave played excellent in leading the stellar defense. 2 wins, 1 tie, 1 loss: 7 points, Plus 3 goal advantage. 8 goals scored / 5 goals given. 7 different goal scorers. Seb (2); Larry (1); Steve (1); Mesh (1); Gerard (1); Juan (1); George (1). Two road victories, both by a 2 goal differential. FYI. Parma vs. Montgomery was canceled. Reason, they didn't want their little toes to get wet. Wee Cunts. Next week, FC Dynamo away, a game I am sure that FCD thinks they will roll through since the won the scrimmage this past summer, lets show them otherwise.

JCFC goes down the shore and takes 3 points from Lacey Strikers

2006-09-11T10:55:00.000-04:00

Not an apt name as John said.

We played well and suffered a few injuries in the process.

Joe is on Injured Reserve

Manny is Questionable for next match

Barry and Juan are probable for next match

The early going saw The Merchantiers’s dominance, as Lacey rarely crossed midfield. A fair number of chances were lost by JC as the shots went high or wide.

Halfway through the half, Meshesha fed a sweet pass through the defense to Sebastian who put it in the back of the net, but the referee called an offside that just might have been.

Late in the first half, Juan scored the first goal of this inaugural season.. A pass from Meshesha to Cos, his shot blocked, bounced and a lucky ball landed at Juan’s feet with time to switch legs, set it up and blast it past the keeper at the near post.

Early in the second half, some confusion clearing the ball from a corner kick resulted in a dribbler across the line for the tie from Lacey Strikers.

JCFC settled down and despite Lacey’s superior strength in sub numbers, kept up the attack.

Again, JCFC had many chances, including a ball that clanged off the post and several that scurried across the goal line without one of the men in yellow able to poke it in.

Soon after, Sebastian followed with a pretty goal, after a flick over the defense from George set him free down the flank, the keeper came out and Seba calmly lifted it over the keeper’s head and into the net.

Meshesha followed with a half volley into the far post after the ball bounced around the box following a Cos corner kick—easily goal of the season so far.

Man of the Match:

Carlos Fighetti—he tirelessly ran down all players down his flank, starting at right fullback after an early injury left Jonathan Woodgate (Irish Joe) on the bench prior to the start. Carlos owned the right flank, even taking a few shots (off target, but hey) on goal.

Next game is our first home game—be at Lincoln Park no later than 815am. We need time to warm up and get the field ready—nets must go up, lines must be redrawn and we’ll need a few bags of sand to fill in the puddles at the goals.

See you in Bayonne on wed night for training.

SCRIMMAGE AGAINST FC DYNAMO AT 815 IN NORTH BRUNSWICK.

SEE YOU THERE

Scrimmage or training

2006-08-21T22:43:00.000-04:00

We’ve an offer to scrimmage one of our league opponents this Wednesday at their home field.

We can wear the yellow kit.

Yes or No? we need to decide by noon Tuesday—

We’ll need to get the lot of the team down to New Brunswick (Route 1 and 130) by 815pm for a 90 minute game.

Are ye in or out?

Training is ON! Wed 8/16 8pm-10pm, pints at the Merchant afterward

2006-08-16T12:07:00.000-04:00

Guys,

As in last week’s note—neither John nor Juan will be at training tonight—Barry will run training and George G will run warm-up’s. John and I will be at a league meeting down in Carteret—we hope to finish up quickly enough to join the lot of you for at least pints at The Merchant.

I hope to have the game schedule, eligible 26-yr olds, and home field situation resolved tonight—more news on that.

For training—bring light and dark tops… and your subscription fees—cash is great, if not, a check to Juan Hidalgo or GSSL will do fine, as well as last four digits of your social—league uses it for passes. As I’ll not be there—please see Barry.

Don’t forget to bring the complete form next week, along with one passport size photo (unless you had a player card with GSSL last season)—

I’ll see you at the merchant and definitely next Wednesday at 8pm.

Have a good run!

2006-08-10T13:21:00.000-04:00

Good training run last night—glad to see everyone on the pitch—

Had some new faces on the pitch last night—welcome to Dave O’Brien and Assan. Good to have Steve D now that the heat has receded a bit.

Next week, training will take place as before, at Lincoln Park from 8pm-10pm… Pints at the Merchant on grove street—if you can’t make training, make the merchant before heading home to the missus.

I will not be at training next week—I have to attend a mandatory league meeting. Hopefully by the end of the night will have a schedule set for the fall. Once we have that in hand, we’ll look to schedule at least one scrimmage before the season is out. Understandably, labor day weekend is upon us soon enough, so we may try to schedule the scrimmage for a weeknight.

George—good stretch last night---still feeling it! Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted their club dues—it is much appreciated—makes the job of setting up the club for the season that much easier and enjoyable.

If you are still intending on playing the season with us, please be sure to submit your dues—as I’ll be away next week, you can give your dues to Barry, our accounting wiz.

One last piece of business—I emailed everyone a player registration form—I would like it back on the 23^rd (two weeks hence) so we can finalize all details with the league. If you had a card with the GSSL last season and were not with JCFC—please speak with your previous team to find out the card’s whereabouts, else you’ll need a new card.

-Juan

Wed 8/9 8pm-10pm Training, 10pm-? The Merchant

2006-08-09T12:03:00.000-04:00

See you tonight.

Training is on—be sure to bring dark and light jerseys, plenty of water and your season club subs.

If you miss training, we’ll be at the Merchant on Grove street across from City Hall around 10pm.

I’ll drive by Grove St. Path station to pick up any stragglers.

JCFC Training

2006-08-02T14:32:00.000-04:00

Training is on for tonight Wednesday 8/2 @8pm.

As it is obscenely hot, be sure we have enough water.. and mosquito repellent.

Expect we’ll be at the Merchant by 10pm downing cold tasty brews.

Bring your club subscription fees!

-Juan

Two days since training.. Feeling sore

2006-07-28T16:23:00.000-04:00

Was good to see all the new one faces, as well as the familiar, albeit older faces—considering we are reorganizing over a short period of time, we had a very good training session this past Wednesday. Great turnout!

Outside of some blisters, no injuries were sighted or reported, unless it was the group of boys bending their elbows at The Merchant on Grove street—if you think training ends when we leave the pitch, you’d be mistaken—to be in proper football form, not only must we exercise, run, dribble, pass and shoot, but we must also put the pints down in preparation for the season.
Seriously though, we did have a good session and expect to continue as we form up into a proper team. Bring your monies next week—I’ll have forms for everyone to complete as he league will require all paperwork to be submitted shortly—

Some key points for all to keep in mind:
-Bring light and dark jerseys—else half of us will end up as skins and the other half will be horrified.

-Training next week is Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 at 8pm—same place

-Bring water and bug spray for your own sake

-If you need a ride to the park, a couple of cars will pick up (and drop off) at Grove Street Path at 7:45pm—

-We do make it a point to have a few pints, even if its bud light, after training—and the Merchant appears to have happy hour prices all night on Wednesday, so come on out!

-if you intend to play with the team this season, and in order to get you registered, we need club fees-- $150 cash or check either to GSSL or to Juan Hidalgo—whatever floats your boat.

-Once season schedule comes out, we’d like to have a social the Friday before our first game—as we are all older and grizzled, wives and SOs will be more than welcome.

-Know anyone else who may enjoy the kick around or even be looking to join a team this season? Bring them out.

Organizational Meeting (or an excuse to go on the piss)

JCFC Then and Now.

The squad during the 2004-05 season...

The 2001-02 squad--The A Team...

The 2001-02 squad: The Reserves....

The original squad in '99...

The Club Today...

JCFC was based in Jersey City from its inception as the majority of players lived and drank in the downtown area for years. Time has passed and only a few remain in JC--we are looking for a new home--as long as there are fresh pints to be pulled near by.

We look to sign up 20 commited players (including those who will return--so far we have 8 returning players.)

In our previous iteration we trained once, sometimes twice a week. we recognize as life goes on, committing to football 2x a week with wifes, babies and jobs is not doable.

Most importantly we look to find some new members for the club--members that appreciate a good pint of lager after games and training, members who appreciate football--our membership in the past has been very diverse--English, Welsh, Irish, Argentinians, Bolivians, Colombians, French, Italians, one Scott and one guy who changed his flag depending on who was winning that week--and Americans of course--many americans. Our playing style was traditional english football, but over the past two years we've changed as our forwards can no longer keep up with the long ball.

We look to expand and make new friends on and off the pitch, as what sport at our age really is about, is about camaraderie and an excuse to get out of the house.. excercise is a good bonus. But the pints.. ah.. the pints.

so if you're interested... drop us a line at jcfc06@gmail.com

Welcome to JCFC, the premiere adult soccer club of Jersey City.

Founded by Paul Grigg and Chris Levendos in 1999, the club spent six years competing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League, winning most of the time and even earning the Fair Play cup one year. In 2005, JCFC changed leagues and joined the Garden State Soccer League.

If you are interested in playing with us, we are looking for Over 30's players who can commit to one training session per week in Jersey City or elsewhere in Central Jersey and to make themselves regularly available on Sundays for a league match.
