Kennedy Soccer 2011

Welcome to soccer season.
The weather is nice, elbows are still thrown and the refs are still on some bullshit.
Last night was the boys and girls varsity double header game at Kingston vs. Jefferson, and I am complaining because we need a new team of refs. I don't think that I've ever been so pissed off in my life. Yellow cards were flying everywhere, but mostly on our team. In the boys game one of our foreign exchange students got a yellow card because he supposivly pushed one of the players. Thats bullCRAP. If anyone should have been called it was Jefferson players. It looked like they were trying to grind (dance) on our players. I mean seriously?!
The ref was supposivly an MLS ref.. well if thats the case.. I know why he isn't anymore. HE MAKES DUMB CALLS?! really.. c'mon now. This is why your reffing a high school game. No one on your level likes you. Sorry, if you can't tell I'm pretty pissed. The boys ended up winning 3-2, but I think that the refs were making shitty calls.

When it comes to the girls game. The ref who was giving out yellow cards was the reason we lost the game 0-1 to Jefferson. It went like this. The balls in the air.. the goalie jumps out of her box to get it, it slips out of her hands and PILO (Hannah Palamo) comes up takes the ball and makes a shot. Well the idiot sideline ref (same one who was shitty in the boys game) says the went out the end of the field so no goal and instead a corner kick. Bull crap.. he was just cold and wanted to go home. We only had 1 minute left in the game when we got that goal and we would have had to go into overtime. His decision caused us to lose the game when we really could have won it, and it was an actual goal. I don't think that I've ever been so pissed off in my life. I think that its mostly because we were playing Jeff. I mean come on.. its jeff. Really?! stupid Kirkwood refs. Get a new job I don't like you right now.

Anyways now our record is 3-1 varsity. At least the JV beat Jeffs. But still I guess you can say I'm very protective over my team, and I know a bullshit call when I see one. I don't know one cougar fan that wasnt pissed at the end of the game. I know I was pretty livid, and I still cringe at it. But hey, we have state still right?! We got this. Plus we still have the game against Linn-Mar, and I can't wait. I'm excited for that too. Oh well. I'll keep everyone updated on our games.
Here's our games and records for girls so far.

Varsity: Muscatine (win 3-0)
Dubuque Hempstead (win 4-0)
Dubuque Senior (win 5-0)
CR Jefferson (loss 0-1)

JV: Muscatine (loss 1-3)
Dubuque Hempstead (win 2-1)
Dubuque Senior (loss 1-2)

Thats all so far. But we will beast this season. I know it :)
