Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Well - I couldn't stand to read too much of the threads in the Frisco forum. While they are calling us names for supporting Rico did anyone ever ask how they could support Sala after his "incident" last season? I know it is completely different . . . LOL - those guys. Well it gives them something to talk about since we seem to get the best of them almost everytime - they can't talk about how they won the cannon - LOL You really have to start to feel for those guys their frustration must be immense as they are the "class" of the league and all of us classless Houston fans seem to have more to cheer about. Oh the entertainment - I can understand why they put a short moratorium on Houston supporters in their forum. I was just curious if anyone had heard an "explanation" for their hypocrisy concerning Sala?
Post your comments on these links - re Rico http://houstonist.com/2007/10/08/houston_sports_7.php Follow the link on this post regarding Ricardo Clark. If so inclined - make your thoughts known.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) short moratorium? i have been "forceably banned" by one of thier female moderators '"fc parrothead". She got very defensive. all i did was tell them that they play better without their floppy one, ruiz. she freaked and banned me. i can't tell if this is really a punishment or not. i do miss the many posts about how the man is holding dullass down though. funny stuff. yes, i know, it is only a matter of time before nobius forceably bans me from the Houston rooms too. you don't have to tell me wayne rooney. where the hell is he anyway?
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Our problem is, we were born on third base. But, still, isn't that a lot better than being born in Dallas?
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) News on Clark... From MLSnet.com For the time being and foreseeable future, Ricardo Clark has been reduced to a spectator. Clark, in the wake of his nine-game suspension for his altercation last Sunday with FC Dallas' Carlos Ruiz, sat high in the Robertson Stadium suites while his teammates suffered a 2-1 loss to the L.A. Galaxy. Clark hopes to file an official appeal to his suspension early this week. "I feel bad for my team. It couldn't have come at a worse time," Clark said in visiting with Steve Mark during the Dynamo broadcast Sunday on 790 The Sports Animal. "I feel pretty down about it and hopefully we can get something going with my appeal and maybe it'll work in my favor before the playoffs." "First, I'd like to apologize to everyone watching-fans, family, kids. I reacted before thinking of the consequences," said Clark. "I'm glad Ruiz got out of the game without getting hurt. I'll learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen the next time." This season, Clark missed eight MLS games due to injury or U.S. National team callups. The Dynamo had won all or tied in all of them.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) he's a funny cat-he's blown me off before and then other times he's actually pretty funny. Maybe he's just moody-understandably now-not knowing if he'll be around or if this is another short stop on Son of Daglish train trip.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Free Rico shirts-i love it-great idea since we'll actually have some time to where the shirts into next season. i like something with handcuffs and his name and number on the back. I always liked the "I'm a Dick Head idea" with a silouheete of Mulrooney's face on the front with that caption and his name and number on the back.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) I belive the Dalglish deal stems from being hounded by fans and the press early in his career. He really shows no intrest in talking to anyone in large crowds, but if you talk to him when hardly anyones around, he can be a very nice guy.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) OK, that makes sense. I had a feeling it might have something to do with his previous experiences in England.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Think it's more than a fair dose of hypocrisy. The League Fair Play Table: #4 Houston Dynamo #13 FC Dallas FC Dallas is the dirtiest team out there. They can't even play a single game without discipline.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) what does he mean make sure it doesnt happen? i'm thinking ruiz better watch his back...
Re: Dynamo's Clark suspended nine games Nobius chime in here - we can give a gift of $10000 tax free to anyone we want - once a year. For those so inclined - PM me and I'll give you my name and address so you can make the check out.
Re: Dynamo's Clark suspended nine games Well, yes (it's actually 12000 now) you can give to someone without incurring gift taxes from the IRS, but employers can also have their own restrictions about accepting gifts from vendors and customers.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Their forum, their rules. And that's not the first time you've said that Ruiz is a diver on their forum. If it wasn't for the fact that you're a broken record about the same three things, I don't think you'd have anything to say at all on BigSoccer.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) I know they're annoying hypocrites who always say the same dumb things, but I have to agree that I wouldn't want people coming on our boards telling us how much we suck, which is what a lot of the Dynamo people do there. ...even though they do.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Any chance that Rico comes & joins EB/TA for the 9 games that he misses? That would be kind of cool.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Maybe we should chip in for an appearance fee at the mezz if he isn't going to make the trip to Salt Lick.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Every one else was doing it and i just got singled out. You are probably right. Calling me out not on a PM just makes it so much better. Thanks. Me to stoopid to talk uh bout nothing else. Me kumplane to much. Me shood talk uh bout kunspricee more. Me shood talk uh bout kids thro thing on feeld diffrent so *rey* dont get mad. Go Dynamo
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) Rico played in the Dynamo-Galaxy Reserves game, so I suspect he'll be playing in the remaining reserve games.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) The LA game was the last reserve game of the season.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) I think Dalglish is frustrated for not getting a game. Unfortunately, I made a mistake in buying a $35 shirt with his name on the back of it at Soccer 4 All. He's gone... everyone knows it. I'm the last to find out.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) When in doubt always get a plain jersey no-name...you will feel better later
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) i'm getting a clark jersey, he made himself timeless when he screwed the pooch couple weeks ago.
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) I picked an authentic Ching jersey so I am ok
Re: Consolidated Clark thread (punishment, alibis, support, etc) You're not worried about Ching going to SJ?
