I hear ya, but in my example and situation...I used what the ref saw and not anyone from the stands.........including my expert, far sided, blue colored glasses..........we can complain about the refs, but I have always said that if they are in the correct position, then they are the experts and it is hard to argue with what the ref sees so close to the action.

 

6 cards to 1 and two of the cards were for "persistant" fouls....not sure if that is the correct phrase, but 3 fouls in a row on two different occasions......etc....

Only one card was for persistent infringemnet. 1 was for the coach. 1 was for unsporting . And the other 3 were for reckless play. And your only argument is comparing the cov cath and hc game. I could bring up several other games where 6 red cards total were given out. I just don't understand where your logic is coming from to label HC as dirty players. And this was carried over to the st.Henry thread by the same people as before. HC has never even been given a red card in any games. Not necessarily meaning they are not dirty, but your strongest argument is stating the card status. And commenting on ONE player who was called for persistent infringemnet. If you ask me it sounds like excuses on why these power house teams don't blow HC out.

Mustang support. NKY!!

Cov cath is better, but I always like upsets. 2-1 NCC.

Hope Scott wins this one. All Nky teams have my support.

I'm getting a lot of "sore loser" vibes. Ah well, better luck next year

Its all good clean fun. But thanks and good luck to all you st. Henry fans against Boone.

Look it up bud

Congrats to NCC. Sounds like the usual coach McDonald.

Congrats to B.C

Overall good game by both teams. Both teams played hard. However, it is completely unjust to sit there and say hc was chippy more than st. Henry. If anything it was completely equal. And if your were going to go by cards it was 2 to 1 which you referred back to constantly in the cov cath game. You guys are just a bunch of homers.

Should make to be a interesting match. St Henry 1-0 in regular season play on their senior against HC.

Goes into shootout.

2-0 St Henry sounds about right. St Henry should think twice about trying to push the score to 3-0 because apparently all heck breaks loose if a team goes up by 3 against Holy Cross. I understand that's why Highlands kept it a 1-0 game when they played HC.

I really hope your not being serious. Excuses. Excuses. You guys are quite comical.

Just a spectator at this game, not a fan of either side. I agree that HC was aggressive and sometimes too aggressive, yellow cards were deserved but CCH was definitely not innocent as some of these bias remarks are insinuating. They had plenty of physical fouls that went uncalled. Arm grabbing and tripping to name a few. I know you CCH fans saw them because I was sitting behind you and it happened right in front of us. You could be considered a hypocrite for the way you speak of HC's aggressiveness if you're not careful. HC held CCH to 3 points because of their defense alone and I think some of you have a big problem with that. As for HC, their offense was lacking organization and skill which resulted in almost no shots on goals. When all is said and done, I believe CCH is definitely the better team. Congratulations on the win. Good luck to both teams in Regionals.

You've said it best. This is the point I was trying to make. I just couldn't stand the insults thrown at hc. And the excueses on why cov cath didn't slaughter hc was amusing . Overall cov cath is the better team. And good luck to both teams in regionals.

I think it is funny that several weeks later people from CCH had the same take on how HC plays that I did when they played Cooper earlier in the season. Almost identical comments about how they changed their "style" of play once they were scored on.

 

Hope you guys are not called the same thing I was, nor told that you have no clue what you are talking about and then told to sit down and shut up.

I have seen several HC games. In certain games the aggressiveness is and isn't there. Ncc they lost 4 to 0 and they did not become hacks or foul constantly. In the HC vs Scott game they lost 3 to 0. They did not become hacks and so on. I think in the cov cath and HC game it got out of hand. The center ref tired to control it but fell apart. I believe the fault was on both sides, but obviously this argument is not gonna change your mind

The Cov Cath boys are well versed in how to play physical soccer. I'm sure they'll take your finesse remark as a compliment.

Thats what it was intended for.

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.

You must have been watching a different game because both sides we're doing the same amount of hacking and dragging. This is also high school soccer. Meaning the physicality aspect will almost always be present. Cov cath may not be use to that because of the finesse soccer they like to play.

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

Point taken. Just give me examples of the dirtyness. 6 yellow card does not mean you were playing dirty.

Good teams play through hacks anyway period. Not saying cov cath is not a good team. I just can't stand when people REVERT to making excueses. Suprised having 5 starters for HC sit the bench too. There coach did not pit them back in. Showing another example of how the 1st string offense could not score on HC second string. Eventually cov cath I believe in the 25 min marker he took out all remaining starters.

It's not my school first of all. Secondly I just love to hear people make excuses. It fills me with joy. I would hope the almighty Cov Cath could out posses the "hacks" of Holy Cross. You people amaze me

There seems to be a lot of animosity towards holy cross for just playing hard. Both teams were running there mouths throughout the game. However, it was 2-0 and cov cath player committed an obvious foul. From then on the chipping went back and forth mainly starting from number 7 on cov cath. Ill I hear is just excuses on why the score was only 3-0. And if I recall from the Cooper game it was completely even in the foul standpoint. And the only player to receive a red card was Cooper.

3-1 Scott

2-1 ncc.

Wow. Was not expecting this score. Congrats to cov Cath on their senior night though.

Brossart 3-0. Cooper is not the same team as before losing Ross.
