You know i be reppin my Lafayette outfit Cause they just beat the snot out of Jesuit Half-time came, they try and make us quit "Heck no dawg, we still in it"
That's what Ellis said And thanks to Prejean's head We got the death blow to leave them J- birds dead
Cause we came back and we clipped they wings Gonna get fitted for them state champ rings
But i'm off track it's time for Fontainebleau most posts say we gonna win by 2
And while this may be true we still training hard got a cold hearted dude named J. Menard
But now, like all things do i gotta end this flow, like a season, for some boys in blue

There was really no vulgar display of emotions by anyone. I'm not defending anyone here, just saying that as an observer of the game, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Definitely no reason for CoachRay to cover his children's eyes or worry about them having nightmares. The only abnormality was the excruciatingly long half-time. Because of the POLICE were called to the field. That seems a little out of the ordinary to me. If it is ordinary to you, man you are going to some intense games.

I was talking about the reaction to the perceived offside. Also, The police weren't really called out onto the field, either. That's the thing, it is being blown WAY out or proportion here. It's not unusual to see police at a high school sporting event, is it? I think it is required for them to be there. I mean, do you have it in your head that the police rushed the field and arrested people on the field, face-down-knee-in-your-back-style?
Nothing happened that would make you wish you hadn't brought children to the game or to think that the next Jesuit/Lafayette game would result guns bieng fired at the refs.

Am I the only one that finds a problem with the BJ Gruzzardo quote at the end of the article in this thread? He said, "This can only happen in soccer."
I'm not sure how to take this, but my first reaction is "what the heck is that supposed to mean." It sounds like he's frustrated for even having to deal with this "other" sport of soccer.
Well well....if he's got that much a problem with how its being run then maybe start listening to some of our suggestions and make some changes, but maybe I'm reading too much into his reponse.
I would have loved to have been at this game...shame the game was not played at a "decent" time.
There's always a problem with the written word getting out of hand online...however...I would be interested to know what "words" were exchanged for a player to think he needed to press charges....??

mcscruff, #8 is Romig and any hype he gets is deserved. #8 was, in my opinion, the most standout player on Jesuit. Played extremely well on the ball.

Imagine you are one of the 17 Lafayette seniors. You know that Jesuit won a game in the fog when the Goalkeeper Hand of God snatched away a goal a few years ago. Then the Lafayette player with the arm at his side swept the ball into the goal for that game winner. Then Reesie gets taken down on a picture perfect tackle from the side. It is said that an official is miked for every match. Now, an alleged goal is allowed, but Lafayette strongly objects.
The Legend grows. I said last year that ESPN needs to televise this game. People laughed. >8000 hits on this topic in 24 hours. Is that a record?

Read the Times-Picayune today. Ref lies about his name. He is not Brian Hall. His name is Mitch Jacobs. What's up with that?
And if many of you guys here are so up on the game and self proclaimed experts how come no one has brought this out before?

Especially interested in any comment from cajunref who appears to have blind loyalty to the referees. Everyone must realize that no coach, no player or no referee is perfect. In the article in the Times Picayune Tommy Henry states that he was displeased that the game was not controlled properly. All 3 parties involved (player, coach and referees) failed. I wasn't at the game but I would like to ask either coaches and or team captains if the Referee (Hall/Jacobs ?) came to them before the match started and discussed the importance of all parties keeping their composure during the match given their past history. A quality ref can often diffuse a situation before the game even starts.

Did he only give reporters the false name. but not the police?
As to the police presence at the game, I don't have a problem with the police being there for whatever may develop. If they were specifically called in by a ref, a player or a coach they have to respond and question those alledgedly involved . You would like to think that experienced players, refs and coaches can handle disagreements in a game without making threats and involving the police. But once the police are called they have to follow certain procedures.
But if the ref didn't want to talk to reporters I wouldthink a "no comment" would do, rather than a false name.

Another referee post in one of the opening threads after someone posted the paper article, said that the referees name was wrong, The referee told me that he never talked to the press. So that would probably be why they got his name wrong, however it has been a long running joke with many referees to call this referee in question that, as he is probably in high gear to making it to that level in the near future.
On a different note, many officials have been harassed, threated, stalked, and the list can go on and on. After games for calls they made or did not make. Even there family's have had the harassment. Now i know what your are saying not in Louisiana right? Wrong, one New Orleans referee had this happen to him 5 years ago after refereeing a Jesuit game, and Jesuit lost. The US Marshals Service had to get involved. Further more not one of the NBA officials give there real name, all the names that are announced on TV are not correct, why? Because of security reason, that is why the crews names were not said at the game. lastly the referee crew had to be payed for the game right? so they had to turn in paperwork, there correct names were on there, the coaches new who the referees were, most of the players knew who the referees were. This is really all that matters. I don't think this that big of a deal. It was not the right name, but i surely was not going to run out and post the referees real names, it is not safe. Furthermore the referee crew never talked to the paper so they got there information from another source, beside how much of the news can we really belief?

The Times Picayune says:
"Jacobs told reporters after Lafayette's 2-1 victory Tuesday that his name was 'Brian Hall'."
Referees should be protected, but if this referee used a false alias that happens to belong to another referee from Louisiana, he is in the wrong.
