I am also on record congratulating Wando on their sate cup win.

A point I intentionally did not bring up in the past discussion is alluded to by Chico.
-Drogba scores in added time and beats Man U.
-Man U scores 2 goals in 4 minutes of added time and beats Bayern who lead 1-0 most of the game a few years back.

Although I feel that had the game been 11v11 that Wando most likely would have won, I cannot help but to think that when Lexington was mounting pressure for the equalizer,the 10-15 minutes it took for the referee crew to sort out the issues took the "wind out of the sails". Most likely those 10 minutes did more hurt than the extra man.

Wando played a very good strategic game, and although I had not seen them play before they did exactly what they needed to do.

Time should have been added on...PERIOD....Thus my thread on the refs.

One other thing.... it is my understanding that none of the painted boys threw bottles.
I am sure it was a lex fan or two who were showing their displeasure, also from my vantage point if the intent was to hit someone then they are horrible athletes because it was not a great distance. It was certainly a lack of class and should not be accepted behavior. As far as the Charleston paper.... I do not recall this gentleman being present at the Carolina cup were the behavior of some of the Wando supporters was questioned (personally I see nothing wrong with drums and horns), specifically when it came to congratulating the opponent after a loss. Booing from the stands or refusing to shake hands while calling your opponent "white trash" could both be construed as sour grapes.
