Ref bull***************: Just see the number of threads about this guy...cards for diving when clearly fouled. I hate the reffing in this league so much it's not even funny anymore. Horrible Coaching: For weeks now we've been saying that if we cloned Andy Williams 9 times, we'd be a damn good team. So what does Oz do? Well of couse we start Mathis at O.Mid when we all really know that Mathis should be no other place than in front of the net...especially with his fitness level recently. Number 2...taking Faria out for Teddy?! I'd rather have Rodrigo in instead of Diallo...but if he wants Diallo in and thinks he's fit enough...then FINE. But what happens, Diallo starts limping, and gets taken out, thus we are left with no forwards for a remaining 25 minutes. OZ IS CLUELESS. Absolutely F*UCKING CLUELESS. Number 3...Is this team going to give up? For the 2nd game in the past 2-3 weeks, we had an on the field arguement between our team. We argued in the lockerroom after the DC game on Thur....and then did anyone else see Faria sitting by himself 5-10 feet away from the bench on the ground. It reminded me of Knobloch standing lonely in the field as the rest of his team had a meeting on the mound during his throwing error times. I have two things left to say. #1. www.graferspants.com ...He's helped us out before, and he's gonna do it again...no matter how ***************ing goofy he is. They're Long, They're Black, They're Halfway up his Crack...They're Grafers Pants #2. I'm going to kill myself. #3. I'll see you all in New England...If this team isn't gonna play for itself...a loud and obnoxious ESC should do the trick. I hope...although with the guys you never eff'n know! Sorry for the rant.
I hate to even think it but the nightmare end to the season would be Daniel Hernandez beating Grafer next week on a free kick. -- Teddy Chronopolous, striker?
He'll just kick it over the net for a field goal. Have faith in Grafer...maybe not our coaching or the rest of this team...but Grafer I am confident about...no matter how far out on a limb i'm putting myself on.
Faria is the only one on the team that doesn't want to give up. He is the best player we have right now and OZ is blowing it. Faria has been the leader of this team and the only one that is spending all his energy tring to win. He is hustling every min on the field and what does OZ do, takes him out when we need him the most. Mathis can go where ever he wants next season, he has done nothing for us the whole year. He is a burden to the team. He causes problems in the front and is a imature baby. He needs to grow up. Diallo also. Faria is a second year player and he is already more mature then the both of them. There is no way that we are going to make the play-offs with howard out and OZ as the coach. How can this team become a team when we have 20 different starting line-ups. He needs to stick to one or two line-ups. And these are the players that need to be out there all the time, unless injured or spent, Faria, davis, williams, petke, jolly, and akwari. After that I don't care who he plays. But the best line-up we could have, if we make the play-offs, is faria and mathis/ diallo. mathis and diallo don't seem to play well together and faria plays great with both of them, so OZ pick one and start that one with faria. Davis, williams, tab, and pauli in mid-field. Davis and williams work great together why can't OZ see that. petke, jolly , akwari, and who ever. that is the best line-up and the one that has worked in the past.
sharcm: Good point, but possibly more inportant than Faria is Tim Howard. I admire those two players, and Tab. That is basically it.
I agree with you about Faria...sometimes the finishing has been bad from him(IT HAS FROM EVERYONE) but his work rate has to be noticed. No other player gets back to play tough defence when down by a goal in the 87th minute. I just hope that the idiot that OZ is doesn't ruin Faria's outlook/workrate. This team is broken right now...and so am I. But I'm starting over, and I hope this team is going to too. We must play as a team next week, we must find a way to overcome bad coaching.
