Goal line technology: FIFA ruled against it last week in favor of POSSIBLY employing 2 more officials (do I remember that they might be positioned at either end? maybe).

Hey Steve the Second half when Cronin was on GA side we can hear him talking to the guys throughout the game and that second goal not his fault. Dont get me wrong I think Wicks is more vocal but I was at the reserve game today and Wicks makes plenty of mistakes himself. So either way we are going to let up some goals. The main thing is keeping the team chemistry.

Oh yeah…and the only thing worse than Cronin in goal is Cronin with a groin injury in goal. BRING IN WICKS!!

Buddle was useless last night. He was dragging and, for most of the game, completely disengaged. Its not that he just didn’t contribute, but his lethargy in marking defenders and refusal to aggressively go up top made him a liability to the team. Awful!! he should have been pulled in the first 15 minutes.
On the flip side,, from my seats, I had a good view of Franklin in both halves and he was something else. He has great sense and fantastic technique. He can defend, pass and carry the ball and this was his 3rd MLS game!! I had to laugh when it seemed like Vanney was giving him directions..Franklin knew what he was doing at all times!! A real star, and he covered well for Randolph’s inability to complete any cross. Surprisingly good left foot too.

Aren’t they doing goal line tech elsewhere in the world, because that was a goal. we need it in MLS now with these crappy refs that seem to be the case nowadays! so far this young season the refs have been really poor!

Yeah, the replay really did make it looke like the ball crossed the line. Anybody for goalline technology to take away the human error aspect of the game?

From what I saw last night on my tivo, it looked like Buddle’s ball crossed the line at the end. Another blown call by the MLS’s finest..

Well my alarm clock cheated on me…and I woke up on 70th minute of the game. Didn’t see much. Hope somebody will post torrent.
From what I saw we keep ball good,which is always a good sign of progress. Wow becks move on second gaol was so “MU days” din’t see that from him for years!
I was scared about this new-old man that we signed two days ago (you all were so pessimistic)…well,people,he is better than Vegenas and can stop the first wave of opposite attack. Can I ask more?
LD goes for “pichihi” this year!
And this pic goes for our season poster
