they won 4-2 and NW scored 2 dubious own goals, in finishing, the most important aspect of football, NW destroyed Irmo...even the most ardent Irmo supporter should be able to agree with that. Its not like Irmo will never be back, they are still a good squad and will be fine for next year, just on tonight they were not on top of their game




I agree with most of what you say, I just always tend to feel little uneasy whenever people claim a game was one-sided--especially considering the heart both teams brought to the field tonight. It's a bit disrespectful to the winners and the losers, downplaying what I thought was a very hard-fought game on both ends.

Your last point especially is a bit sad though...I've been away for most of the season and this is the first game of '10 that I saw live. I'm proud of my boys and always will be, but a few --certainly not all-- of them were decidedly off mark tonight, compared to how I've seen them play before. In the end though, I think they gave it their best and that's all we can ask for. I'll be in the stadium again next year, and I hope they will be too. This rivalry is the stuff you make movies out of. /eyes 100+ anons viewing the forums....*hint hint*
