Suit Up 82 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 As a Richlands fan, this is starting to get annoying to see. Do I think we got multiple bad calls against us?absolutely. Do I think anything can change it? No. So let’s accept it for what it was and move on. No need to beat a dead horse anymore.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Go play at Letcher (or Breathitt back in the PV days) and then tell me how bad Bluefield is with home cooking. Ever seen the coaches go out with the captain's for the coin toss? I hadnt, before Union played over there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog05 69 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Here’s the thing, I remember when Tazewell use to get cheated every other year when we went to Richlands and played there. But none of them will talk about that😂 I hold nothing against Richlands. I just like watching all the Richlands folks talk crap about something when they used to be the same way.

BLUEMAG911 19 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 can you give an example of how they were cheated and what years because I can only remember one time since forever that the dogs have been competitive. That was the year they should have went for two in the playoffs against Richlands. All of the other games in recent memory have been blowouts.

No clue, but I think it has been that way for a while. I believe I remember it taking place when RC visited Harlan in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlan county fan 2 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Harlan county and Union should try to get a home and home series going. I think it would be a good game. You guys drop Letcher central and play Harlan county it would be a better game for the Union bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago Powell Valley played Harlan, we got thumped pretty good, but with almost 1200 kids thats what should have happened .We are still about half your size but maybe we could give you a better game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlan county fan 2 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) You can't compare Letcher county refs with the rest of Kentucky they are a breed of there own. Homecooking is one thing but flat out rape is another and that is what you get when you play at Letcher lol.

Can't include all Richlands Fans. Some of us old school guys know that bad calls happen in every game, and in all seriousness, penalties could be called a lot more and most would blame the ref. Yes, a couple of the calls in the Bluefield and Richlands game were questionable, but as a Richlands fann, the Beavers were the better team and deserved to win the game. I'm glad the Blues played respectable, but the ref's (bad calls and all) did not decide the outcome of the game. Bulldog05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2013, at Middlesboro, #58, would go to the ref, point to the Union tackle, make the holding signal, and the ref would then throw a flag. This happened every time Union got a long play or crucial 1st down conversion AFTER the play was over. This in addition to the other crazy flags that game. Definitely not isolated to letcher.

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Don't get me wrong, I believe Pikeville will beat us regardless... they're just that good. But, it's discomforting to know that you're probably going to have to play 11 on 14 down there. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Harlan independent had a hard time seeing the white hats signals to start the clock when behind. But, that eyesight magically improved once the lead changed hands. White hat looked like he was taking off once or twice at the end of that game. In basketball I will take seky refs over tssaa in football I'll reverse that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlan county fan 2 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Last year Harlan county played at Letcher we had 260 yards in penalties they had 40 yards. Perrry county is bad too, everytime you get a long run against Hazard they call it back we barely came out of there with a win this year 22-20.

Yep. I remember Travis' quote in the paper about that. From the Coalfieldprogress...“Those two personal fouls changed field position dramatically, but they never could tell us who it was or what happened,” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
