Seriously though I'm glad you're okay and I'm kinda surprised that those guys went to that place. UM is probably hosed and hopefully everyone gets justice, or at least revenge?

Yeah that sucks, ultras fighting each other because theyre dumb criminals is one thing but attacking regular folks? That's really hosed up.

e: is it normal that I've been reading the word "baton" with a cartoon french accent?

This ref isn't giving us poo poo, letting them shove down all our players. How many times are they gonna foul Dwyer?

Timbers are insanely fast on their counter, for all the bitching about this team they seem thoroughly competent

Most of the year they were too fast and could get up field but not connect on the final passes. Lately they've been connecting better and put 5 on LA and 4 on Colorado so the potential is there.

Borchers has gotta put that one in if he's going to remain in our top 2 or 3 scorers.

I wouldn't mind if Dwyer got the first yellow.

Really surprised at the lack of yellows for bitching given out so far.

These teams are so even. It's not just 0-0 even. If one team scores, there's still a strong chance the other will match them goal for goal.

Yeah, regardless of which way this game goes it is super enjoyable and chippy so far. I feel next half is going to be even better/worse.

This game is insane. They sure do show a lot of replays while the game is playing, or Joey cutting and passing a log around.

Unimas is trash. The English feed is awful. Portland is all speed and no technique. KC is getting roughed up and losing their cool.

And this ref is so bad.

That yellow for Wallace was bullshit, that's totally accidental.

This ref is really bad. For both teams, but was Wallace really deserving of a yellow there?! I think that was a horrible call.

Edit: are they actually taking a possible head injury serious?!

TheBoyBlunder: Jul 3, 2004; Anyone else have the munchies?

I'm not entirely surprised Wallace got a yellow there. It wasn't malicious but late and endangered the safety of an opponent. Still felt harsh though.

SKC begging for a red. But they're denied.

Nemeth earned that yellow though. That was stupid.

How was that not a red?

Less the push from behind but the ball kick to the head.

VVVv agreed, just frustrating now. Bad ref is making a good game bad.

Sucks to see a guy doing as well as Melia to have to step out.

I would keep Melano on to score against the new GK.

Yeah, aside from a lucky Wallace poke, he has done really well. Glad to see himself and the trainer taking his mental health seriously. - What I imagine Twellman is saying right now.
