SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer showdown in the CAGE!!!!

Domination tonight via the boys of BC, A 4-1 score as a final and the lone goal for Airport being that of a WEAK penalty!! All I can say is #10 for BC a freshman was all over Airport's backs and made them pay early with a goal and an assist! Great game if you were a BC fan! Not so much if you were supporting Airport...

Anybody can give me some info on how Griff Sims got a straight red? Along with airports assistant coach?

It goes like this, Griff comes on, 5 minutes later (if that) he grabs a BC player as he goes past him and holds on for dear life. Ref walks up to Griff and gives him a Red card. Where the foul was on the field and where everyone else was as well, makes me think that Griff had to have said something to the Ref to receive a Red.

As for the assistant Coach, again, he must have said something. What I don't understand is how Coach Masone didn't get anything for running all the way across the field to prevent his player from getting into a fight

To be fair, the officiating was very, very poor for a game of that magnitude. It was possible BC's second goal was started in an offside position as Herbert sprung loose to in-line serve it for the finish. Then again, BC was called offsides on a throw-in that they scored on earlier in the match sooooo

Griff's looked like he might have been intentionally trying to foul from behind, although he did not slide. However, he did have a brief "discussion" with the official before the red was issued so there might be something there. AHS assistant coach initially got a yellow then said something else to the center and got tossed.

Wait a minute! I've been sneaked dissed and besmirched!! How does someone wanna be like me this bad!?! Can some explain to me the mega coaching staff at Airport? They have position coaches I think. One head, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, midfield specialist, goalkeeper analysis, recruiting coordinator, game day corner kick coordinator, associate head assisant left back coach, and game day 3/4 warmup pants advisor/coordinator. Geez! Can someone show light?

So I'll give you my take on this match. I am not trying to create discussion, banter, or take anything away from BC. First off, congrats on your share of the region title and outright championship pending tonight's SA/Dreher match.

Lastnight, BC just had a lot of things go their way. The weather was more suited to their style play and was obviously going to be tough for us to spread the ball around playing in steady rain on a slick pitch. The season ending injury to our starting centerback in about the 8th minute was obviously game changing for us. I can tell you with 100% certainty Griff did not say anything to the ref, it was for the attempted tackle from behind. Agree with me or not but I did not believe that to be a red card offense for many reasons. 1.) BC had a tackle from behind 2 minutes previous and received a yellow. 2.) The time in which the card was given and 3.) the magnitude of this match. But obviously playing 65 minutes or so a man down puts your team in a bind. I thought we did the best we could considering the circumstances.

BC's 2nd goal was offsides but our defenders can't just sit back with their hand up waiting for a call. BC's 3rd goal was a goalkeeper error that only happens 1 out of 100 times. BC's 4th was a rocket free kick, it was a great goal.

As for the coach getting a red card. It was right in front of me and we had not received any sideline warnings or yellow cards previously. Nothing out of the ordinary was said, the card was very undeserved.

Now, Finkel-If I feel that a fight is about to break out then I have no problem getting a card for stepping on the field to protect my players as well as the opposing teams players. I would much rather get a card and pay the fine then the boys get cards and be forced to miss playoff matches. I am not going to sit and watch a brawl start, so if that is a cardable offense, so be it.

Bottom line-it was BC's night. Coach Heise did an excellent job preparing his team and I won't take anything away from BC but the officiating was not very good for a game of this magnitude. good luck BC and Coach Heise in the playoffs, we hope to meet again for sure. Just my take, take it for what it's worth.

To wet for me to get out in that mess last night. However, from the score it sounds like someone over at BC has them boys in the GYM!!
