WTF is Rachel Lewis on about with the "hooliganism" card? I guess the race card is sooo passe these days

 

[Captain Shamrock]

fcuking unbelievable......there are so many hooligans around here. Is this what BC Place looked like on the weekend? FFS, you would think it was really serious.

Still have alot of work to before we can graduate to rocket launchers

 

[Captain Shamrock]

As usual the fun sponges ruin what could be a good atmosphere........you just have to look at what Celtic has done to its' most 'loyal' fans. Disgraceful

The Southsiders are discussing bringing in bubble machines. I wish I was taking the piss but sadly, no.

Big loss last night Martin?

With how close the standings are it makes all the home games must wins and they will need something fron one or two on the road.

Looks like there are only singles left for this weekends game against LA and I have guest coming from Scotland. Good thing I got them tickets 10 seats over from my season tickets and at a discount, just by calling the front office in advance instead of the last minute. I would of felt like a heal not being able to get tickets for out of town guests.

In other news, caps reserves tied UBC 2-2 tonight in a friendly game (pre-season for UBC) which they were losing with about 15-20 to go and scored 2 late to tie it. Obrien, Demerit, Davidson, Hurtado, Manneh, Watson, and Mattocks all started. You would never have guessed throughout the game that a professional reserves team was playing against a university team.

Obrien - quality but returning from injury
Demerit - returning from injury, hard tackler not much of a ball on the feet kind of guy but quality
Manneh - younger than most of the UBC players, lots to learn but I like him
Watson - Ive seen him play, but never do anything
Mattocks - wrong sport your a sprinter
Hurtado - wrong sport your a sprinter
Davidson- hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha professional he says, brilliant.

And still sounds like it was 2-0 while they were on the pitch???

 

[cascadesoccer]

Not sure if we missed more chances or the ref missed penalty calls tonight. Game was ours to win and we Harvey'd it.

Curious if all the Kenny Miller lovers thought he was good yesterday.......touch of an elephant. I particularly loved the pass he gave right into his teammate's ghoulies. He is SO fcuking bad. And for the record, none of those were hand balls.

Miller: "We've controlled the game in long, long spells. We can still be positive. We deserved to take something from the game today."

Rennie: "I feel like L.A. are probably the best team in MLS. Whether that's the case or not remains to be seen but that's my opinion."

Positive.... Rewind, rewind, rewind.

Chivas beat RedBull today .... Next weeks easy must win just got tougher.

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Hmmmm, best in the league? I can only assume he's talking about at the end of last season. What was really disappointing was the fact that LA sat back immediately after the goal. A great idea when there is 88 minutes left. Arena is a tool just like Rennie.

Seattle win ...

This season is starting to resemble last year except there has been no Barry Robson to disrupt things to start the end of season swoon...

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Agreed but you now have Kenny Miller masquerading as a footballer which is as bad as Robson being a dick.
