bluessuck 10 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 they didn't look that impressive (besides Neil Henry) tazewells D looked good for the most part. Mistakes here and there but nothing major and taz's goalie got pretty hot headed and lost his cool. Great game for the most part... alot better than last years first game haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealgame 10 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 i heard abingdon went to a pre season tournement in roanoke and played with (if not better than) most teams in the region. so dont count abingdon out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 with the River Ridge in the region they stand NO chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandsfan 10 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Abingdon has already tied Cave Springs and beaten Salam and Martinsville defeated Hidden Valley while Carroll County defeated Christiansburg i believe. I would say that would seem to dispell the myth about teams here having no chance. The river ridge is very beatable this year with the exception of Blacksburg.

bluessuck 10 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 you cant say that if someone took that cheapshot on you that you wouldn't have retaliated. Abingdon was up big but still was trying to get more so poskas came out to slide into the ball and the guy came in cleats up and got poskas in the face. Poskas checked his mouth and was bleedin so he chucked the ball and it hit the guy in the face and the ref came over and carded poskas. In his defense though, they were killin him the entire game pratically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeper1 10 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 thats called being a punk. ive been spiked in the eye (playing tazewell), taken a knee to the mouth that needed stitches, and all kinds of other crap--none of which got called--and never had to throw a ball at anyone. collisions happen, and so do injuries. deal with it.

dawgs86 10 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 if someone came into the keeper he shouldve been carded.. thats probably why tazewell's keeper only got a yellow because the ref thought he was covering up the first foul because if he wouldve gotten that one then the keeper wouldnt have had time to do the rest, if the ref was in position... or just gave him a yellow cause abingdon was killin them so bad haha my opinion..

[/ QUOTE ] thats the biggest smelling crap I've ever heard. Taz may have had dirty plays but we don't have dirty players. The only dirty play I can remember is Zack Cline spearin ben blair. Poskas took kidney punches, cleats up tackles and got kicked in the balls so hard one time that I didn't think he'd get up. He told the ref after every cheap play to watch for it and the ref let it slide every time. I guess the slide to the face just sent him overwards but I don't blame him. He's broken bones and got stitches as well but I think it was the lack of respect that upset him. He deserved a red but I would've done the same thing and you'd have to be a "punk" not to. my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrollfan 15 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I was not there but I would not call someone a punk for not doing something. Everyone has their own breaking point. What Refs were at that game. I know it was not Jim because he was doing our game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazrocksmysocks 10 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 well I was just sayin that he's not a punk for taking up for himself. He is easy to get along with and he was telling us at lunch yesterday that this was his first yellow card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 yeah that was a pretty damn dirty play...the only reason he got a yellow instead of a ref was because that the side ref...Ango...said that i had a cheap shot on cline...which was definitely not true unless getting all ball and then the person tripping over his own feet is dirty...i did not retaliatein any way shape or form mainly cause the refs went to each team and said that any form of dirty intentional play would be an automatic red...so much for Ango...

beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 you need to get your facts straight man...i was playing clean honest soccer...i know how to hit people and make it clean..i got ball on every tackle but a few each and every game...there was NO excuse for that hit...

[/ QUOTE ] It's the refs responsibility to take "control" of the game and let it be known what will and will not be allowed. I've seen refs who let it get totally out of control and it's flat out dangerous for the kids to be on the field...I've also seen the other extreme, where the flow of the game is hindered by so many "touchy" calls... Sounds like the ref sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazrocksmysocks 10 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 well they didn't call hand balls or anything really. And when they did the calls they were lopsided calls for abingdon. Not taking anything away from abingdon but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
