Is the Mann/Daniel game under protest due to the offside call or because of a player they think should have been ineligible?

I'm sure everyone knows this, but according to the rules, one cannot be guilty of offside when receiving the ball directly from a corner kick. I certainly hope it was on a subsequent pass.

I hope Byrnes wins it all and Hanna gets ranked #2 and Northwestern #3.

I also hope Neverplayed's ref as well as my young lady are forced to drive to games at least 1.5 hours away for the next 2 seasons.

I also hope that we return to the old seeding format which gives more points for playing teams in higher classification and with winning records.

I also hope I have enough time to make a bracket based on this information. That would be awesome.

I have seen many an offsides on a corner. Usually, it is the kicker. He/She kicks it infront of the goal and all the defenders step towards it, then the kicker comes and plays off a pass or deflection and is offsides.
Also, I do not see this called often, but technically if a player is considered a threat the goalie must be mindful of, that player could be called offside even if he/she does not play the ball. I can imagine if a player were marking the goalie, and the post defenders were a step or two off the posts, then that player may be offsides.
Just my two cents, since I did not see the game at all.

Daniel officials are questioning the player eligibility issue. There is nothing they can do about the (bogus) offside call.

W&E,

It seems that goalies are "free game". Like your game W&E, Mauldin's goal was scored on Lexington last night when the Mauldin players were allowed to knock down the goalie, who had possesion of the ball. I found it interesting that fan_of_sports called it a header over the goalie.

Gilbert won 4-1 over Emerald

Swansea lost 3-1 to Carolina Forest

Allan, were you at the Swansea match? I had them picked to go to the 3rd round.

deahler, your pain is my pain as you pay close attention to what goes on in the 18. May he be struck with a terrible, terrible 3 day rash.

Regarding the offside call on the corner kick, are you sure the ball didn't go out of bounds and come back in? The AR's signal is similar to an offside call and can easily be mistaken.

H66-You still squawking about JR? Wando JV beat Ft Mill 1-0 on a goal by Kent Seignious. Get over it!

Ok, fair enough, then a more accurate description of the play would be . . . Mauldin was awarded a free kick just past midfield. The free kick was lofted near the box and was headed by a Mauldin player. The Lexington goalie came off of her line and fielded the ball. In the ensuing contact the ball was knocked free and into the goal.

Yep, I was there.
Swansea controlled the game.
Swansea 15 shots to their 5.
Several fouls in the box (by CF) and handball no calls, even one where their girl swatted the ball in the box(red card and pk-no call-it was a terrible. Also, we had an own goal-SS. It was an all around a tough night for the girls (LONG DRIVE). However, despite adversity, we still had 7 shots inside the six an nailed the keeper every time.
Played well, they just did not finish!

P&Y -
At half time Gilbert had a 1-0 lead. Emerald looked flat in the second half and did not play well. Gilbert has one very fast foward #2. She scored three of the four goals last night. Gilbert likes to play it high and over the top for her to get a break away, and she prefers her right side. We adjusted and she still was able to move the ball. Not one of our better games.

FYI-#2 gilbert will also use the outside of her right foot on the left side of the field (she will not use her left foot, because she is terrible with it). Gilbert will not play swansea next year because of gilbert's coach. Swansea only wanted to finish the game. They did not want too. However, this is the wish of gilbert's coach, not swansea's.

did ac flora play last night?

ALLAN -
Did you start a game with Gilbert and was it called because of lightening?

deahler,

Agreed. Good Luck with Fort Mill. After reviewing Mauldin schedule if they would have a few breaks the season could have been very different with such a young team.

Season record 15-5

Lost twice to Dorman (two 1-0 matches)
Lost twice to Lexington ( 2-1 , 2-0)
Lost to Riverside in pk's

Region 2 4A will be strong again next year.

WANDOS GOIN ALL THE WAY!

Yes we did. Called before the half.

Sounds a bit like the play on the six @ the Taco Bell tourney with Lex v Mauldin, keeper in possession charged by a Mauldin player and knocked to the floor, ball out and over the goal line. Call? free kick to LEX, that is the correct call. Attacking players may not charge the keeper at any time and no player may be charged with the ball in the air.

I dont know if yall know what happened last night at the Dorman/Irmo game, but it was not good. The game was overshadowed by the loss of Jessica Bosak due to a horrific injury. You could hear the break from the stands, and it was gut renching. I believe she broke her tibia, and went through a three hour surgery, where she had to have a metal rod inserted in her tibia. Ive also heard she will be in the hospital till saturday. I will say, thats one of the worst sports injuries ive ever seen. Not to mention, dorman also lost another good player in Daisy Walker, for a good time during the 2nd period. Keep Bosak in your hearts and prayers!!

Per SH-J—Hope she recovers soon and fully!

http://www.goupstate.com/article/20070503/NEWS/705030382/1018/SPORTS

to clarify may not charge when in possession of the ball, shoulder to shoulder when both contesting for ball on the ground? same as field player.

soccer05,

I know who scored the goal. This isn't Monday-morning quarterbacking. I told you right on the field, after the match, that I felt you brought a gun to a knife fight.

I'm over it, just needling you....good luck in the lowerstate.

Summerville also had a player suffer a severe leg fracture a few weeks ago. She also had surgery to place a rod in her leg. She collided with her own keeper and once they saw the injury, they called an ambulance. Very scary situation.

It was "exactly" as deahler reported it. Not sure where Fan of sports was at, but his view was obviously not the best...

See previous post below:

deahler,

Quote:
Mauldin's goal was scored on Lexington last night when the Mauldin players were allowed to knock down the goalie, who had possesion of the ball.




When both teams are fighting for a ball in the air who knocks who down? In that slit second the players are trying to head the ball away or into the net each player is giving their all. You say Mauldin was allowed but it was just physical play from both teams.

Here is deahler previous reply:

Ok, fair enough, then a more accurate description of the play would be . . . Mauldin was awarded a free kick just past midfield. The free kick was lofted near the box and was headed by a Mauldin player. The Lexington goalie came off of her line and fielded the ball. In the ensuing contact the ball was knocked free and into the goal.

On behalf of all the Irmo fans I hope and pray for a full and speedy recovery for Ms.Bosak. It casts a pall over the complete game when a terrible injury occurs; such as the one last night. I certainly hope we will see her on the pitch again at full strength.

Anyone have any updates on the Daniel protest? It seems a shame that everyone involved has to continue to focus on a game that has already been played instead of the difficult one ahead (Eastside).

According to the SCHSL, the Mann player received two yellow cards and was sent off. This "soft red" does not require a one game suspension, so she was eligible to play. Game result stands.

Good luck to the Lady Patriots against Eastside.

Anybody have a score from FM and Lex?????

Sorry to upset all the Upper-State people that were pulling for Summerville. They lost to Wando with a score of....... 1 to 0 .
The game was a very hard fought game. Summerville started the game on the attack. Thanks to the Wando defense there were no goals.

No upset—Amanda Tinker netted 3 goals, bringing her career total to 101!

Bravo to WHS girls soccer for reaching Upper State for the first time in its history and to Tinker for a brilliant career. The defense has recorded 8 shut-outs since spring break—another bravo—with WHS outscoring several ranked AA/A teams 47-0 in that run.

Anyone with lower-state AA/A results?

Spartan,
Quoting the rules, and enforcing the rules are two different things. You are correct that one finger can control the ball, but if the ball is still moving/rolling/oscillating in any way, it is not under control. A keeper has to have the ball in "control". This can be considered two hand control, hand to body control, hand to ground control, or even hand to post control. Those are your options. If the ball was rolling, or the keeper had it with one hand, and tried to pull it into their body, by moving it, a referee could consider that not in control by the way that the keeper decided to move the ball. This is one of those rules that is "in the opinion of the referee". So it is determinate on the referee that you have, and their intrepretation of "control". What fun, what fun....

#2 for Gilbert is a fast, strong, talented sophomore. She deserves ONLY positive posts. Gilbert's coach was also a class act tonight at the Woodruff match.

I think that the match between Swansea and Gilbert was called at half-time, thus making it a complete match according to the SCHSL. Don't have to "finish" those.

Stop beating a dead horse. The Fan, you need to stop saying what you think and base it on reality and facts. The Swansea-Gilbert game was called 4 minutes before the half. That was the report of the referee and finally the SCHSL. Nice try! Talk to SCHSL about it. W&E the truth hurts, doesn't it! I guess the truth is what you think is the worst. More Truth-Congratulations to Woodruff, you showed what kind of team Gilbert has-a One player show!

Soccerboy,

I certainly agree with your assessment. I should have used the word "can" instead of "is".

Amazing how little words can get you in trouble (Bill knows)

I like one clever man's statement, "The rules never change...

...only the interpretation"

Three out of the four final teams in AAAA are from the mid-state. Quite an accomplishment for Lexington, Irmo, and Dutch Fork. If I'm not mistaken, the other team is not from the upstate, but from the coast. How 'bout that!!!

"Home" field advantage was huge... Good luck to HH and the rest of the teams that are still in the playoffs.

Airport finishes the season 21-5. 3 of the losses were by the score 1-0 and the other 2 losses were by Pk's. Congratulations to the Airport lady eagles on their 1st ever region championship, 1st ever home playoff game(win), 1st ever 20 win season, and 3rd consecutive year making it to the lower state semifinals. All of this being done with losing 9 players from last years team(6 graduating and 3 deciding not to play for various reasons). Well done ladies!

On the topic about goalies and there safety when airport boys played bluffton on thursday night the forward for bluffton slid studs up into the goalie and was not carded for it. I dont know what the ref told our coach for not carding him but i think in a situation like that the goalies safety would be a priority.

[color:green] [/color] Round 2 Myrtle Beach 3 Chapin 1 Round 3 Myrtle Beach 10 Carolina Forest 1

There is a story of a little boy who comes home, shirt ripped! Nose bloody! Hair all a mess and a bright shiny black left eye beginning to show. His mother distraught and worried starts to coddle him and asks who beat you up? Who gave you that black eye? The boy does not hesitate in the least, puffs out his chest, smiles to reveal a missing tooth and with great enthusiasm and gratification announces to his mother and the rest of the bridge group gathered there at the house for their weekly game “No one GAVE me this black eye! I EARNED it!”

It really was a great season for my Lady Bengals this past year. Our goals were to make it to the third round of the playoffs this year- one better than last year-which we did- and to finished the season as a ranked team (That we are waiting on to see although I think we have made a pretty good argument for ourselves 3 of these last 4 games.) We developed incredibly over the season as a team playing a schedule that I believe will prove to have been tougher than anyone else in our region, our RD2 sister schools, or most other schools in the state. We lost some games we probably could/should have won, played well in some, ok in others, and poorly in a few. The ladies beat two different #15 teams as well as #5 and only lost to #3 by one goal. The Riverside game was I believe a combination of so much adrenaline draining soccer in three days, a little injury trouble, and an admittedly poor job by myself to get the girls ready and “up” for the game. We played over 200 minutes of hard nose soccer Monday and Wednesday to earn our way into the third round this year. The huge for us win over Dreher just left us drained and tired. I know the newspaper reported 20+ shots by Dreher to a few for us which implies a “lucky” win for us but I must come out of my normal form and rebuke that assumption just a bit. Many of the shots- Most of the “shots” recorded were long range, off frame, blasts that were aimed in the general direction of the goal. The number of shots versus the number of saves made should corroborate this to a point. We show Dreher as having 6 quality shots on goal—but then again—that is “our story.” There are other ‘hair splitting’ facts and figures associated with the game, but the bottom line is that the girl did earn their spot in the third round. AFTER the Dreher game is where I probably should have handled things differently, at practice Thursday and mentally leading up to the game last night. A bus full of sleeping teenage girls on the way to a quarterfinal playoff game was not a good omen in hindsight!!! Nor was the dead cat lying on my truck’s hood when I left the house that morning. As a second year program we are still “learning to win” and this year was a great education. Quite simply I did not have the girls ready to show up and play at all against Riverside. Maybe next year “coach” will get it right……… Thanks goes out to Coach Terry for not pulling his starters at the beginning of the 2nd half. I just want everyone to know that he did not intentionally run the score up- I specifically asked him not to hold back in the 2nd half or cut the game short. Heck we drove all the way up there, we at least wanted to get the full 80 minutes right?!?

Look for great things from us next year- sorry for the extra long post- but I wanted to make sure everyone knows how proud I am of these young ladies and what a great job they did this year. (And put in a plug to the ranking committee!!!)

Dang...you timed out and your recap is gone !!!! I was looking forward to your take on the game. The sports article is fine but I believe your insights would have more interest on this message board. If you feel like reliving the game a short piece would be great other wise I understand.

fos,

After a full-weekend in Fayette Nam, running around watching my daughter's U-13 NCYSA state cup games, I'm bushed.

If someone wants to start a new "Lex-FM" thread to re-visit last Friday night, I'll probably chime in. If not, let the record show: Lexington 1, Fort Mill 0.

W&E --


"Anybody got a "Stupid-to-English" translator?"

That's good. Don't know nothing 'bout the merits of the comments but that's good.

Found lpaf, Amber Alert still out for Chico. (something tells me that there is a "gag order" in effect in his household until 9 PM Friday, May 11).

OH MY GAWD, HE'S A BUFFFETT FAN........

From what I have heard from my WF boys, Chico has joined the Department of Soccer Justice to mete out some intense punishment on the Irmo girls this week-

Does anyone know the Riverside/Eastside score?

Dutch Fork /Wando score??

Hilton Head 1

Hilton Head wins PK's 3-0

Great game, HH scored in first half when Mytle scored a own goal and then Myrtle scored with 20 seconds left in game. Back and forth for the OT's. Myrtle beach hit the cross bar on first and HH hit the cross bar on 2nd PK and it went in. The last two pk's by Myrtle Bbeach went straight to goalie.

CHOO CHOO!

Just heard Wando wins in Overtime. Don't know the score.

BE 1
Waccamaw 0

Very physical game..... Congrats to Waccamaw for a great season.

Go Bishops!

It seems this team did not get much respect out there this year. There are a number of teams throughout this state that I believe have another opinion of them. Let's start with losses to Lexington, 1-0 late score, Dorman, 1-0 in PKs, Riverside 1-0 in PKS, Wando 1-0 in OT, and the list could grow by mentioning hard fought WINS. This team was strong, played hard and competed through injury, sickness and NO RESPECT. I truly believe they have earned everyone's respect!

Most people in this state also have no idea what the seniors of this talented Dutch Fork team have been through either. Three (3) coaches in their 4 years of Varsity play. (Thanks coach Painter for coming in and stablizing the situation!) The defection of 2 talented players to a rival school (for no other reason than to play soccer for a traditional power in my opinion)The loss of Post season play in 2006 after winning the Region because of Coaching indiscretions.

The Seniors at Dutch Fork can leave with their heads held high. They leave the program in a very good place with a talented group of girls ready to continue on. To end with a final 4 appearance that was well played and went right down to the wire against a very physical, tough Wando team is nothing to be ashamed of!

Good LUCK to Wando and Lexington in the Finals!

How does a team that beat Lexington 1-0 a couple of weeks ago lose to them 7-1? Did they completely fall apart??

MM,

Good comments on Dutch Fork. They fought through a lot of adversity, last season was a rough one....losing post-season play was tough. DF stayed under the radar all year and did a great job reaching the lowerstate final. The program looks to be very strong.....don't know why anyone would want to transfer out in the future.

Congratulations and continued good luck to the Lady Foxes.

What stability has been brought by coach painter? Is this his first year? Sounds like he's doing a great job!

COACH Painter is a great guy and a great coach. His brother Tommy is also a great guy. Trust me in a couple of years DF will be heading to states with no problem. Hayne Painter will have the girls program set straight by next season. Congrads to all the girls and coaches at DF. Can't wait to see you next year

By stability, I meant a calming influence. Last year's team had to play an entire season knowing that no matter how well they played they could not compete for a State championship. They went on to Win the region and watched from the sidelines as their rival school took their place in the seedings and made a very good run at a State Championship. I don't know how many times I heard my daughter say, "That should have been us!" You take that memory and let it run amuck it could have harmed this year's team as they went forward. Bad memories are sometimes hard to forget. I believe he (& his staff) started early to help create NEW positive memories to grow and build on. With the ups and downs of the season Coach P and his staff continued to keep the girl's eyes looking forward and not back. That is stability!

Huh?? "Irmo did what they had to win" What did they do?

"Lex countered and made it worse than it looked" Lex countered what?? There was nothing to counter!!

Believe me it WAS as bad as it looked. Irmo was in the game for the first half while they had the wind. Once Lex scored that first goal and the second half started it was all over.

LF, in soccer (stay close now) playoffs one must win to advance. Therefore if you find yourself down, you better start pushing forward to try and score. Irmo pushed, Lex D held, and then took advantage of the small numbers in the back. I realize you're excited to finally make the promise land after all those years of coming so close, and what, with the early career drama and all. You can play nice and pretend you know soccer

I am back, I could not resist this one. Were you at the game? I was, it looked to me that Irmo kept trying to double down on the girl with red shoes-her footwork was amazing! The 3rd, 4th, 5th goals came from great play-crosses with a nice open header/feet. Just poor defending, they were not pushing up. (Gabi had an off night-not typical) And you think you know soccer!

OK, now I understand what you mean.

Hey, no discredit to Lexington. You guys truly are a great team.

I sure liked W&E better than this new guy. This guy is a jerk.
All those sleepless nights with the new baby are starting to get to you.

A lexington fan taking up for a lexington fan? No way...

true,

You hit it right on the head, the man is downright sleep-deprived and ornery. LF went overboard on him. The guy is a DAD now.....very sensitive. Stay away from the following subjects:

2. Region 1's playoff run
3. The number of All-Staters from Region 1
