SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Lex vs. Dorman

the 3rd goal was a pk that was given to dorman over nothing, you can beat a team, but you cant beat a ref, yea after that it was over.

Lexington's heads never went down....they just didnt get much of a chance from the ref...hats off to the dorman cavaliers for a hard fought game

From what I saw - the teams were very evenly matched the first half (0-0) with Lex. dominating possession (as someone said earlier). However Dorman came out swining in the 2nd half and Lex. couldn't stop them. Autenzo had an incredible game, overpowering Lex. midfield and defense.

Lexington clearly had an off night and will need to step up their game if they are going to be a state contender. Their ranking will definitly drop after this showing.

And it did.. all the way down to #5 and Dorman took a jump all the way from #12 to #4 !!

my prediction is dorman will fall out of the top five in a game or two...they're just not that strong

SpacemanSpiff, Looking at this week's schedule it appears that Lexington has a bigger challenge than Dorman. A couple of Lexington victories and they could be back up above Dorman. A couple of losses and who knows where they'll end up. On the other hand Dorman is playing a couple of weaker teams. Should be a good week of soccer.

good point soccerfan

A team that has aspirations to play at Stone will not let a ref take them out of a game. It sounds to me like Lexington self destructed and even with a young team Dorman is not going to let that kind of opportunity to go by. Dorman has too many quality players who can get the job done. It sounds to me like Lex needs to learn to let their feet do their talking instead of arguing. I hope they get it together because they've been on my "A" list since last year. SV Friday night is a game I'm gonna go to.

Lets put it this way....
If you do the job you are supposed to do then referee calls or noncalls are a non-issue.
Learn from it, reboot and move on.

Not always true futbol. A team can do its job by leading in the last minute by one and a ref allows a huge advantage offside to go uncalled, the one on one results in a goal and regulation ends...thus 50-50 chance in OT instead of a win. This type situation happens far too often , actually.
