NewYear Soccer 7s: Saturday 9th January @ YC&AC

The most common expression I heard on Saturday morning apart from the standard ‘Happy New Year, How was your Holidays’ was “I can’t wait to start burning of the extra pounds I gained over the festive season.’ With that in mind, it was obvious that everyone was going to run hard, tackle hard and then hit the wall! Judging by some of the Knockout Round results this...

Robert Peacock: TML Referee September~December 2015

I have spent the last three months absorbing life in Tokyo. I flew to Japan as part of a university exchange with the Tokyo Institute of Technology and have completed my Master of Engineering thesis. Having previously refereed in Scotland, I was lucky to enough to be given the opportunity to join the Tokyo Metropolis League (TML).

This experience has been a steep learning-curve but has provided a unique...

Vagabonds defensive solidity holds while scoring issues continue in draw to Dutch FC.

BFC Vagabonds 0 Dutch FC 0 Komoba Sub Ground, Saturday 24th October 2015

A week off from the pitch didn’t do much to change the fortunes of the Vagabonds at either end of the pitch as they continued to limit the opposition to a few clear shooting chances. However it will be of some concern that they haven’t managed a goal in the last two matches and rarely troubled the opposition goalkeeper throughout the match.

Syu Syu Aoyama vs BFC Vagabond

Defensively organized Vagabonds hold free scoring Syu Syu Aoyama to a 0-0 draw

BFC Vagabonds 0 Syu Syu Aoyama 0 Shigaku, Saturday 10th October 2015

Although unable to make their chances count, BFC Vagabonds were able to hold Syu Syu Aoyama scoreless throughout the match, something that hadn’t been done since last season. Coming into the match Syu Syu were averaging over six goals a game and the Vags were averaging nearly four a game, so the game stood poised to be a high scoring affair, but an early kickoff and a number of injuries seemed to...

Vagabonds vs Lions in Yokohama

Vagabonds unable to hold on for a point after a seesaw battle with Lions FC in Yokohama

BFC Vagabonds 3 Lions FC 4 YC&AC, Saturday 3rd October 2015

Looking to continue their fine run of form after last week’s victory, the Vags found themselves a goal down within the opening minutes of the match. Some nerves and miscommunication between the Vags players allowed for a deflected ball to bounce out to a Lions striker just outside the box. He made no mistake and hit a first time volley with the outside of his foot which curled into the top corner....

Muzzy’s Farewell that Never Was

BFC Vagabonds 6 King George FC 2 Shigaku, Saturday 26th September 2015

Saturday’s game was billed to be the swansong for one of the Vag’s longest serving players – James Musgrove a.k.a. Muzzy who was leaving Japan for the UK the next day. Perhaps it is a taste of things to come but any chances of turning out for the Vags were scuppered when the job of cleaning the apartment before moving out trumped any thoughts of goal-scoring glory.
