Seriously? This is ridiculous. Even after the love tap the two players shook hands and made up. I can see maybe a yellow card to both players, but a straight red for a little bit of chatter and a tap on the head? That’s a bit much. If that’s all it takes to get a red card in the MLS, these refs would never last in the Bundesliga or Premier League… Well, pretty much any of the European leagues.

World Class Soccer Comes to Lancaster: July 16th at 7pm.
As many of you already know I also coach a youth (under 10) soccer team for the Manheim Township Soccer Club. So, I wanted to share this with everyone. The club has organized a fund raiser with Clipper stadium and the professional soccer match that they are hosting.
This Thursday July 16th Harrisburg City Islanders will be playing Crystal Palace from London, England. This is a great chance to get out and see some top level soccer, right here in Lancaster. For only $12! I hope there is a great turn-out to this game, because that will show that we are serious about soccer in Lancaster and will hopefully give us the chance to get more top matches. Come out and watch what should be a great game and support soccer in Lancaster! As an extra bonus Clpper Magazine Stadium will donate $3 from each ticket to the Manheim Township Soccer Club (see details in the image above). It’s a great way to support youth programs in the area.
Hope to see everyone there!
Berks United Bounces Back with a Win Against Wick
From BerksUnited.com
Saturday, September 20, 2008. Leola PA: After a poor start to the Fall 08 season and loss to Germania, Berks United bounced back on Saturday with a decisive win against Wick Futball. Berks took control of the game from the first kickoff. They broke the ice by scoring inside of 10 minutes from the start, then scored 3 more quick goals. After the first half the score was 5-0. In the second half the pace slowed and Berks was caught off guard and allowed Wick to put 2 in the net. Berks managed to score only one goal in the second half, but still had a comfortable 4 goal lead at the final whistle.
Next week Berks will play there rivals Manheim Township at home. Kickoff is at 4:00
The Week in Soccer
Opening week of.. for well… all the leagues I play in, it was a week of mixed results. The coed team which continues to be a struggle finding and keeping good players. (Another went down to injury.) Well we lost. I don’t remember what the score was though. Thursday turned out to be much better. The b division team, the Blue Team played probably the best game we’ve ever played and won big 8-4. Then FC Blackbird had a great debut showing by winning more than 10 goals to 4.
Saturday turned out to be the worst of all with Berks United. We won the league the last two years and and this weekend we lost to the worse team in the league. Plus, to ad insult to injury we lost one of our best players to another team because of guy on our team, who by the way has chased others away before. Then that guy quit too. So, I thought problem solved, but it was already too late. Oh, why is there always politics?…
