WOW! Ol' deahler has to go out of town on some business (gotta support the family), and all @#&^%*^)@#% breaks loose.
First of all the Lexington game against Spartanburg was decided by the girls on the field, not the ref's. Spartanburg had the better team. Did the ref's call against the Lex keeper affect the final score? YES! As did the fact that Spartanburg's coach elected to leave his starters on the field all the way to the bitter end, well after Lexington's coach emptied his bench. Whatever, 1-0, 4-0, a loss is a loss, especially in the playoffs. For those who weren't there, don't let the score be reflective of Lex's "D". They were outstanding! Especially when you consider they played a player down for most of the game, and only allowed one goal during that time, against a very high-scoring team.
As for the call on the 'keeper, it was definitely a penalty! Did it deserve a "red card"? Not my call! I make more money in an hour than those three guys combined made for their 90 minutes of "work". So, it would probably be unfair to critcize too much
Lest anyone think that those last comments were made as snide remarks, that wasn't the intention. The point was, ask yourself, how consistently perfect you perform on your job. Although I do have to admit, it stings a whole lot more when they call it on your daughter
In reference to the rest of the comments, try to keep it all in perspective
Be more like me: calm, cool, collected
OK, OK, my wife has signed me up for anger management courses this summer! Spartanburg fans and players (a nice group of folks, by the way), please disregard the man in the corner with the red face. You'll be much better off if you talk to him the day after the game. Especially when his team loses (he's a poor sport)! Did I mention my wife had signed me up for anger management counseling this summer?
A couple more things, then I will go. Why is it that posts about Lexington on this board, seem to draw so much activity????? And, count me among those that would like to see a certain young lady turn in her white shoes and bobby socks for shin guards and cleats.
You guys enjoy the popcorn, I'm having a beer for this one!!
