fknbuflobo Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 where were the referees? For some reason, in America, referees tend to allow the physical play distroy the beauty of the game. I have read that all the European leagues have been cracking own on this. It is about time that MLS and the NCAA crack down on this as well or the beautiful game has no chance to be successful in the US. Sidenote: need to punish diving as well Let the officals do what they will, and then adjust to the officials. Akron failed to adjust to the officials. When they ain't calling it, meet thugery with greater thugery! The beautiful game be damned! "He sends one of yours to the hospital; you send one of his to the morgue." Frankly, it is very difficult for a predominantly finesse team to win a championship, regardless of the sport. We sorta pulled it off last year. It will not likely happen that way again. Bitching about officials is exceedingly weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's opions such as yours that will distroy the game in America I sincerely welcome your two cents, taxguy. In fact, I love it. No insult is intended. I merely want to reinforce the fact that physicality, even brutality, is and always has been a part of this sport. Football is a very old sport, older even than our Baseball. Despite efforts to “clean it up,” there are intrinsic elements to the game that will never leave, unwritten codes, if you will. Americans are historically soft in this regard. I want Our Zips to realize this and be able to prevent less talented squads from taking us from our attractive soccer, and stealing a draw. Fullerton did exactly what I would do facing a superior opponent. In short, I want Our Zips to learn how to win ugly, if need be. Let’s hope they learn from this minor setback. Perhaps the officiating stunk last night. I did not see the game, only listened. But I suspect some of our young boys were not mentally prepared to be bullied about the pitch. At some point, if the ref is not controlling the match, one must take matters into one’s own hands. I suggest that someone from Akron should have earned a yellow, just to send a message. I do not prefer that style of play, but I am intimately aware that it is sometimes exactly what is required. Our Zips are sure to see more of the same this year. You can count on it. What do think Hartwick is going be like? Does anyone out there remember Caleb Porter as a player? That dude was downright nasty. Thanks for the retort. I invite you to have the last word, if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidenote: need to punish diving as well look man, the EPL is way more physical than the mls. Just because there are some soft spanish players that "speak for the way football should be played" in camp nou that passess sideways all the time doesnt mean you can't body a guy up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who was at the game, this was of the latter variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icchamp1 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Zips take a 1-0 lead over Cal State Northridge. Northridge are down to ten as their captain CB received two yellows in the first 18 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roogangs Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I am glad someone on Akron finally stepped up and had a hard tackle. Maybe it will spark the team to be increasingly physical along with there typical play. Who was the "enforcer". Announcer said Brenes but Gametracker said Barson?

TheTank123 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 That a boy Scotty! Yedlin with the assist? Yes, Yedlin with the assist. Made up for his giveaway that led to the CSUN goal. Blew by his defender, crossed ball to Scotty who brought it down with a great touch of the chest and a class finish. Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just returned from Cal South, so it will take a few days to get over the freewaymania disorder. Interestingly, the C-SUN-Akron game was L.A. Galaxy night in Northridge. They apparently paid former Matador Sean Franklin to come back to toss the coin or something, after which he disappeared. On the other hand ... Los Tres Chivos de Akron were seated five-ten feet from the Zip in Paradise. Will try to download my pix of the group tonight or when I have a chance.What you didn't hear in the broadcast was that after scoring, Scotty through off his jersey and immediately ran around the corner to in front of the stands, pointing up to Zarek and Ben. Funny Valentin jumped over the railing, and threw himself up on top of the track fence around the stadium, from where the Akron players lifted him up on top of the pile. At least that was what appeared to be happening in front of me during the melee. I think the one security guy from CSUN had his hands full, as he had no idea who the guy was that jumped out of the stands!Ben and Zarek were at both games. Blair showed up a few minutes into the Northridge game -- I thought he disappeared before halftime, but I think I see his face in the bottom of the frame I took of Zarek celebrating after Caldwell's winner. Ben was accompanied by a lovely looking blonde. That's the celebrity news section of the ZN.O for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Gotta have those pix, Z.I.P.!!!!!!!!!Hey, if you go to my gallery, you can see three shots I took last weekend in Northridge, including one of Zemanski and Valentin. I tried to insert it here, but the gallery doesn't have a 'copy' link. I have some more but having problems downloading. For some reason some pix on my camera won't download to my pictures file. Anybody have that problem before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
