See you on December 10th EFC, good luck the rest of the year. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:                              

[soccermama]

Thanks Edmonds55 - I thought that it was a good game, althought the field wasn't the best, and I was saddended to hear that some of the Dynamo parents on the West side of the field felt it necessary to taunt and yell at a couple of the players on Eastside.  It is NEVER appropriate for parents to yell or taunt players and to hear that it happended today was disappointing.  Considering EFC was down a player almost the entire second half, they did OK.  Dynamo capitalized on the situation and took it to us.  Looking forward to a game with 11v11 and the twelfth man with his/her mouth shut on the sidelines.

Good luck and see Dynamo again later in the season.

Thanks for your well wishes SM,  I agree with your assessment of the field,  woefully inadequate for P1 caliber teams.  I hope we do not have to play on a baseball diamond and dodge two pitching rubbers again, the only thing I can say is both teams had half the game on each side.

As far yelling or taunting,  I didn't hear anything of the sort, as you know soccer is an emotional game.   I did however hear a few expletive deletives from the Eastside fanbase, but as I said soccer is an emotional game, hard not yell sometimes,  and if someone is always perfect let him/her cast the first stone.

[vms]

Good game played in fair conditions. Dynamo earned a tough win. Hard to beat a good team down a man...but that's soccer.I am sorry for our guy getting tossed...I was standing 20 feet from the play and heard the "cuss". :x  It was a hold but you can't lose your head...it cost us a chance to win without him in the middle. So it goes. :cry:  Good luck Dynamo...

[soccermama]

Edmonds, I too did not hear from either side or from either teams players any foul mouths.  This was information from one of our players who gave specifics and pointed out the "guilty" parents as well.  It is an emotional game, especially at this level, I just hate hearing parents of any team, ours included speaking, yelling, taunting opposing team players, it is inappropriate and should be penalized by the referee.  I have seen good referees address this in the past and hope they continue to keep the players safe from parental harrassment, afterall it is just a game, no matter how seriously we all take it and want to see our teams/players succeed.

[edmonds55]

SM;  I appreciate your position, but unfortunately we were provided with  a venue like today's with no stands, right on the sidelines and too close to the field, the players and the coaches and the officials, all too common now.  This type of venue occurs far too often in my opinion. Soccer is such an unusual game, not much scoring and passionate play by the players,  it is impossible for most to sit on their hands and watch 80-90 minutes of an intense, physical soccer game and not yell and scream on occasion.  I enjoy a clean and hard fought game, I won't condone phyiscal play with a malicious intent, that cannot/must not be tolerated and the players first and foremost must be protected from serious injury by the officials before they worry about parents yelling, after all that's what gets most fans upset, losing control on the field of play. Player saftey first.  The officials today were pretty good.   There are bound to be disagreements both on and off the field, and if the fans are more removed from the sidelines I think it would be far more fun for all involved, player, coach, and referees/officials alike.
One can yell and scream from the stands, and no harm no foul.
Just my opinion....

[soccermama]

I'll agree with you on the parents on the sidelines and opposing sides standing next to each other.  I think that most people are very good and route and cheer in a very positive manner.  I also agree that player safety comes first and that fouls on both sides need to be called.   I do agree that at this level of play that most games should be played on turf fields with stands or at least have a venue where the parents, friends and relatives can be on opposing sides.  But when that doesn't happen and the parents are on the sidelines close to the coaches and the players I just don't think it is appropriate to bait, talk, taunt opposing players or just as bad cheer your teams players on to "get that kid" or "next time hurt him", is or can be said.  Completely inappropriate at any level of youth soccer, in my opinion.  It shows a lack of class and sportsmanship and as adults we should be setting good examples of both for our children.  I certainly have seen worse referees in this league but was not impressed with the one we had today, or unimpressed, he seemed a little inconsistent, but the game was not overly physical today anyways and did not warrant a lot of whistle blowing.  Good luck next week, things will get interesting.

SM,  good points, the Dynamo received one yellow today for throwing the ball down, nothing/nada for rough play, we play a clean game. Yet,  this is the first game in youth soccer I've seen in two or three years (30-40 games, with mutiple children playing, older for that matter), that I've witnessed a player get thrown out with two yellows in just over 45 mins of play, and the first foul certainly merited a red card right off the bat. You're right the referee was inconsistant, just gave the kid a break I guess. Hopefully the players will be able to play the beautiful game the way it's meant to be played without getting ripped from a cheap shot, which quite frankly is the epitome of "classlessness" and "lack of sportsmanship" and has no place in the game.  Remember if you're going to dish it out, you better be prepared to take it, too.  Let's just play soccer, shall we?

[soccermama]

I wasn't trying to dish it out, and everytime I talk about one topic you seem to bring up another.  The second yellow card was for swearing, which all the players do, and that behavior I do not condone as well.  My point was the parents, and I wasn't just pointing the fingure at the Dynamo parents I was making a point that in all Premier, select and youth sports for that matter, children should play without getting hassled on the sidelines by opposing parents.  Just for the record, did not totally agree with the first yellow card, I thought it warranted a warning and to be thrown out to react to another players dirty antics is something I am sure he will learn from.  Have a great season and good luck next week.

SM;  again we are talking about the same topics, they are all related. Nice try rationalizing swearing and cheap shots,  since you obviously didn't see the first yellow, clearly everyone close to the play were calling for a red card,as one other parent called it " a vicious cheap shot" and if you didn't think it deserved even a yellow? Well then, get the Fifa Soccer rule book out and start on page one and get a pair of glasses too.

The Dynamo have had a wonderful season to date,  and thank you for your well wishes,  I wish the same for you.

[DaveytheBeck]

Edmonds...way to suck up...lol. First the whole firts of the post is total dissing, and then you hit us with some garbage like "Dynablow have had wonderful (lucky) season to date, and thank you for your well wishes, I wish the sma eofr you," WTF?!    And Guess what, swearing, and "vicious cheap shots" arent on the first page, maybe you should get out the ol glasses.

[vms]

Soccermama, I am not sure where you were heading with your posts.Seems like there is always a lot "said" at field level by the parents and you and I know that it is usually emotionally based and rarely vicious in intent. We are quick to think a foul is a "cheap shot" when one of OUR boys is the victim and never think the flag thrown on our boys is merited. For once I agree with Edmonds...there is always a place for good,clean physical soccer...never a place for overly "aggressive"  play that can injure the opponent. His son was "smashed" and it warranted a "yellow" card...IMHO

[soccermama]

VMS, you seem to be having the same problem Edmonds is having.  I don't believe that their is any condoning of the ousted players foul or comment.  There also has been no comments on my end that defend that.  The only message that I am trying to convey is that parents, on any team and any side never have the right to try to influence the referee, intimidate the player or encourage their players to do the same kind of "fouls" that they find unjustified and to expect their own players to retaliate.  I find that much more offensive than a late tackle-but that's just my humble opinion.

SM, let me spell it out for you, whether in football, soccer, basketball, baseball etc.  if you cheapshot your opponent sooner or later there will be payback time.  It doesn't come from the parents or fans or the referee or coaches,. it comes from the players who play the game because said cheapshot artist is a menace and danger in the game played and to all who play it. Playing a clean and phyiscal game is fine and tolerated but a cheapshot always lacks skills and ability to play with others and has to make up for their obvious limitations in this way. The cheapshot gets the message sent back to them by the other team and the game settles down and is played out and said cheapshot ends up on the bench eventually totally disrespected by all, kind of like old Dave Schultz of the Philadelphia Flyers,  couldn't skate a lick but was a great goon. No one likes to play with the cheapshots. Thanks VMS at least you admit a cheap shot when you see it and look at Law #12 in FIFA,  that foul was a red card all the way.

[socrtaxi]

hehehehehehe, much better conversation then the "poop" songs hehehehe. Good luck out there this next weekend too folks!

 :lol:

[vms]

Let me restate my post. It was definitely NOT a cheap shot...it was   aggressive...HUGE difference.He was NOT trying to hurt the player. I think you, Edmonds, are a little wound tight because it was your kid. It was NOT a RED ...so take your little FIFA book back to the latrine and reread it

[edmonds55]

PvMS;  Nice try, but be it any player that gets hit from behind with no intent to play the ball, cheapshot,  we were 15-20 ft from the play, how far away were you,  50-60-70 yds?  or even farthur back standing by the entrance to field as you were later in the game ready to run?            :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  lol:

 As another parent stated, "vicious cheap shot" and another parent stated Eastside plays, how did she put it,  "with violent intent"  and this from a former soccer player herself.

But enough of this, it's another beautiful day and as we see the cream is rising to the top,  Crossfire, Dynamo and FC United leading the league as I stated previously and ECFC and Storm just behind and Snohomish and Heat and EFC Pink    

I watched part of the Snoho/FC United game and very good game, both teams had chances but I thought FC United was stronger in the midfield and that was the difference, but Snohomish gave them a tough game and were in it all the way.  The FC United defense may be second to none defensively.  

I think a song may be in order,  either Pat Benatar and her new version of " Eastside Hits'em With the Cheap Shots, they lose anyway "  or to honor PvMS and his obvious past experience with time in the "latrine" , Rush's version of " I Think I'm Going Bald"  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

[soccermama]

Eddy, you must be a politician or cut from the same cloth.  Were you watching a game from the sidelines in an emotional state when you wrote ....

" Playing a clean and phyiscal game is fine and tolerated but a cheapshot always lacks skills and ability to play with others and has to make up for their obvious limitations in this way. The cheapshot gets the message sent back to them by the other team and the game settles down and is played out and said cheapshot ends up on the bench eventually totally disrespected by all, kind of like old Dave Schultz of the Philadelphia Flyers, couldn't skate a lick but was a great goon. No one likes to play with the cheapshots."

I thought that the parental name calling was just for the field during the emotional games.  My point is that we all get riled up, especially when our own children are involved, but we need to take responsibility for our own behavior (myself included) and you don't seem to be capable of that, the above quote proves this.

[vms]

Nice try Ediego. I saw the hit on your son . I am glad he did not get hurt...but the reason it looked so bad was that he was outweighed by 50lbs...poor little guy...you should fatten him up with a combo or some ice cream :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
  Even my son was able to keep him in check and he's average size!!!

As far as EFC playing with vicious intent you are just wrong. They play hard, physical soccer. You should watch the English Premiership games
 for a taste of whats to come.  Interesting that Dynablow parents decry the tactic then encourage their boys for revenge . Just a wee bit hypocritical my friend. And I am sure your former soccer player parent is unbiased,eh  :lol:  :lol:
I also saw the play that led to the yellow in the boxYour Dynablow lad had a fistful of jersey while draping himself over his back for the intended header.  Actually great strategy as it turned out for you. Just because the ref doesn't see it doesn't make it the beautiful game of which you speak so hypocritically...Dynablow won and you disparage the team they beat. You have NO CLASS there Eddy, no class at all.

SM,  having played both football, basketball, in high school and later playing  BB at the IMA at the U of WA during college and later in my twenties, one knows a cheapshot when you see it.  I stand by my quoted statement, cheapshots have no place in the game with any sport, and sad to see there always seem to some that crawl out of their hole.  Perhaps I feel strongly about cheapshots having a teammate of mine in high school  football end up a quad due to one received during a HS football game.  A quadraplegic, at age 16 and was a good neighbor and friend.  There is no place for cheapshots,  people get hurt, and by the way I  was using cheapshot as a relative term/generalization, but if you happen to think the player in question is being singled out, if the shoe fits.

PvMS,  nice try again, but as always on the short end,  all year beating the drums how EFC Pink will beat Dynamo and just wait.... :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: Let's see, 17 goals for Dynamo and 3 for EFC Pink,  Dynamo 4 wins and EFC 0. PvMS, you "disparage" a team EFC has never beaten, you try to " walk the walk and talk the talk"  against a team EFC cannot beat,   so talk about class and your lack thereof,  you would know now wouldn't you, you live it every day                            

[soccermama]

Ed, before things get uglier I don't think in this case the player is Cinderella (if the shoe fits), but you are starting to resemble the ugly stepsister trying to force the shoe on.

No, Edmonds55, I do not disparage Dynablow at all. They are a good team.And Viet is an excellent coach. It is YOU I disparage :lol:  :lol:  :lol: Unfortunately neither you nor I have any effect on the outcome of games. The players play, the winners gloat and the losers feel bad. So it goes...There is another game next week.
Your Dynablow may be up now...so gloat,gloat,gloat
...but I remember a similar refrain last year..
.and we all know how hard your #2 team fell don't we???
All those mighty wins, the glorious GF/GA go right out the door unless the trophy sits on your shelf. Say what you will about EFC RED...no one and I mean no one picked them to be in the State Finals. But they got there and though they lost, played a fantastic game v. Xfire. They are a team that is NOT to be taken lightly, but go ahead if it makes you feel good about yourself.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
And again...the hit on #9 was seen differently by the two sides. The truth is in the eyes of the ref...he thought it warranted a yellow card.I am happy your son was not injured.I am sure our player meant him no harm. End story

Now that was a cheap shot.

[edmonds55]

Now that was a cheap shot.[/quote]

PvMS;  nice try again, but you do deceive yourself,  the "disparaging" remarks, pictures, are directly aimed at the Dynamo with a convenient excuse that it's me and only me.   :roll:

It's been real fun and no the Dynamo won't take EFC lightly, we need eyes in the back of our head it seems,  or as Iceman  said to Maverick;" When you play Eastside, never leave your wing man."

By the way, the picture of Rudi Tomjonovich (sp?) and Kermit Washington,  that's not a cheap shot, that's called "assault and battery".

[vms]

Not really Edmonds...before you, I never even thought twice about Dynablow. You put them on my radar.It is only because of your pontifications that I have been amused enough to correspond. It could have been any other team actually. The names are interchangeable. And in all honesty I am probably the only one on EFC that gets the least bit worked up about Dynablow (maybe Soccermama too).  They are more concerned with FC United and Xfire in the long run.Sorry to burst your bubble.    :lol:
