ECNL and Premier League

Texans won 2-1. The center did everything he could to help them get the equalizer. Fortunately for us, he couldn't put the ball in the net himself.

We have a much needed break now until the end of December. Maybe we'll see you in Florida.

Been there, seen that. ECNL officiating is for the most part very good, imo. Even when not so good, Tulsa is the only place I've ever felt the officials had an agenda. Congrats on your big win.

if you werent there, you cant possibly fathom the favoritism Unc is talking about.

one example....Our defender gets ran up on from behind and taken down....FREE KICK HURRICANES! It was just outside the left part of the 18 yard box. The only thing keeping me from being a lunatic (ok...guilty) was that my mom, dad, aunt, and uncle (all from OK) had come to see the game....so I was TRYING to be a good boy.

I know they say that sometimes you play the other team, and sometimes the weather, and then sometimes you have to play the refs too.....this was crazy, like I havent seen before.

BUT...in the end, and while our D and mids working their tails off (they had to), it was our frwds that truly made the difference. They kept pressing the O at every chance, and Hurricanes couldnt spend anymore time on our end than the refs would let them.

Great game to WIN, and I would have been ticked if we had lost because the term "fair play" truly meant nothing. holy crap.

Red headed center ref?

In the LS game, he let TSC's really good forward trip and run over a shielding defender to leave her one on one with keeper for go ahead goal. I saw that one. Most blatant non-called foul I've ever seen in a soccer match.

Am told that video reveals they also clearly miscalled offsides on LS's tying goal with a few minutes left in game.

Glad I warned you, for whatever it's worth.

Nope. Follicly challenged center. He obviously has been through this before. Every time he called a ridiculous foul he just stared straight ahead and paid no attention to either sideline. As BigBoy said, I have never been involved in a game quite like that one.

Couldn't help but notice that the 95 Premiere League teams finished the Fall LHGCL D1 season 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th. That seems a bit odd.
