For the uninitiated, "your" side is the section of the bleachers/stands that is directly opposite YOUR players/coaches bench on the pitch.

I'm not talking about the 6 yellows, although that is certainly nothing to be proud of, I'm speaking about the general hack and attack type play that Holy Cross, and some other teams, seem to favor when under pressure. Hacking, dragging, going in studs-up... That's not "hard" play, that's dirty.

There's a big difference between playing hard and playing dirty.

I believe that's the way it was done for district 34 also.

IMO these stats mean very little... High School soccer teams differ greatly from school to school, district to district, region to region... It's impossible to know the standard of games, level of competition, quality of team and players. Sorry if that sounds cynical, just being factual.

I can't believe this thread has gotten so long considering it's not even about Scott or CCH!!

4-2 to Campbell Co?

Thanks Hoops.

Yep, the horn-tootin seems to get the hackles up!

I've seen that happen many times in Club and High School soccer. The stronger team goes in over-confident and just puts in a lack lustre performance. It ends up with the good team somehow playing to the level of the weaker team.

I hope it doesn't go to PKs, it's a terrible way to win/lose. At that stage it's partly luck... Will the keeper move the right way... Will the pressure mess with the strikers head.. I hope it's decided in regulation.

I agree with whatsaylenyou... I'm going with Villa to sneak out a win. Their keeper, Barton, is very good and if his defenders step up they could come away with the W.

Looks like the Cov Cath boys are fit and healthy again. Nice result for senior night. Well done, boys.

Well they're not hurt from doing anything strenuous on the field... Most of them don't seem fit enough to keep up with play, never mind get hurt. Maybe their feelings are hurt from reading all the remarks about bad reffing on this forum.

Twenty people hurt?

Rescheduled to tomorrow at 7:00.

Ah I only look at the basketball forum when I need a good laugh! I know Scott deserves pretty everything they get on this forum... I was just amused by the irony of how this thread evolved into what it was trying to get away from.

Oldtimebaseball started this thread because it looked like in an original thread that teams were being picked on... Now people are even posting pictures of kids... Come on people, that's going too far. Whether the kids were right or wrong, good or bad, it was all done in a split second of a high school game, and grown men are arguing over it...

Do you know where the games will be played?

At this stage most fans should know, and do know, where to sit in the bleachers. Intermingling is clearly antagonistic.

Final from Erlanger.

Wow, I see handles commenting on this thread that I never saw before! Gotta hand it to Scott games, they sure get the browsers riled up!

Oldtime, you're a font of useful information. Thanks!

I agree with everything you just said. Most colleges recruit from club teams. High school might be a very small factor in the decision. You really only see a players true potential at club level, where he's playing with, and against, players of the same quality.
