    They don't have their own forum, so they have to crash ours.

    Wrong. They have the best forums in the world. They just come in here to show us how it's done.

    Because there weren't any forums before them, you see.

    Domestic whores only. Imports are extra.

    It's hard to post and play in the band at the same time. And they can only post in the afternoon because the Mariners are using their forums in the evening.

    Ole Gunnar Wazzu is a one man fanboy convention who gets it hard for tifo and stats. His post history is drool fest over attendance figures, fan fashion, and pictures of banners. When he does finally get a thought in post game, it's usually to inform everyone whether flags were banned or that he spent the whole match counting the number of away supporters.

    This is the problem with these sort of fans is that they are bigger fans of themselves then the team they claim to support.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Rothenberg, and the Word was Sounders.

    When Geiger opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth official say, "Come!" I looked and there before me was a black and white ball! Its kicker was named Moreno, and Benny was following close behind him. They were given power over the field and to score goals, take out the defense, and win trophies.

    Would you have felt better had the sentence begun with "When Abbey opened the fourth seal..."?

    This is my very first post so bear with me. I've been a DC United season ticket holder for 10 years and I love my team - through all the ups and downs - and read the boards regularly.

    I am also a Seattle native who learned about soccer watching the NASL Sounders as a young adult. They were my initiation to the beautiful game that I now love.

    On Wednesday I'll be at the game in my DC United Jersey cheering on my team and holding up a sign for all my friends and family in Seattle to hopefully see and be thankful that they finally have a team to root on. (One that I also root for - except for when they're playing my first love, DC United.) Vamos United!

    God no. But I would have felt better (not good, but *better*) if it was Stott.

    But mainly I'm just trying to find out who the ref is -- harder than ever since the ref assignment database site has been down all year.

    Yeah, I did a little digging but couldn't find anything. Hope we get a half-decent ref. I'd hate to be discussing crappy ref decisions after the match.

    Wait, hang on. So you're saying you want a half decent ref because you think his decisions
    (presumably) would be half decent, and therefore there would not be any referee arguments after the game? OK, so there you lost me.

    Oh, but you were being sarcastic? So you hope the referee will be full decent (a phrase that troubles me in many ways), and therefore there will be no referee arguments after the game?

    Are you at all familiar with what we do here?

    Just sayin' you might be disappointed no matter who's reffing the game! I belive Solomon himself would get his head stuck on a pike in this forum after a sketchy PK called, or not called, as the case may be.

    Frankly, I think it's far better to hope for nought decent referee (a phrase that troubles me even worse than the other, so why do we have half decent?) who is so bad he helps the home team and therefore negates any post game whining on this board altogether. Wouldn't you agree?

    No way I want that bastard Solomon reffing our game, I drink with him at the tailgate, he is way too smashed by game time to be reffing anything but which Barra Chica is best to follow up to the stadium ;)

    Seriously, how hard should it be to know who the ref will be a day and a half out?

    I love Seattle (the city), my whole family except me were born there, I lived there as a kid ........ I even bet while it was in the A-League, I was a bigger Sounders fan than half of these wanna-be "hardcore fans".

    But now that they have finally made it to the big leagues, they, and their unnaturally bright green jerseys that blend in with the pitch, can go Die in a Fire™.

    It will be so sweet to watch them sit with their faces in their palms as they watch their team disappoint them.

    what the hell happened to Gus? that's who should ref tomorrow.

    i think its going to be very, very loud with a very "edgy" atmosphere--i think it will be an excellent introduction to rfk for the flounders, a wall of noise that will in and of itself compress them out of defensive shape.

    I'm thinking the Barra should throw trash on the field. While the Seattle players are sorting it, we score the winning goal.

    Be sure that your sign includes a big shout out to my home boys on Capitol Hill! I'm sure you know which Capitol Hill I'm referring to.
