A Few Days Off..

Tomorrow I leave for Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania, which will be my home for the next three school years. Move-in is Thursday, with the typical orientation/getting used to the campus/meeting people stuff going on the rest of the weekend.

I'll be busy with that, obviously, and just doing the things a new college student does. My blogging pattern isn't going to change -- I'll still be posting daily or as close to daily as possible based on what's going on in the soccer world -- but I am going to take these next few days off to immerse myself in everything up there and prepare for the start of classes next week. If I get a chance and there's something worth mentioning, I'll do a post here, but it's more likely that you won't find much here at least until this weekend.

Just wanted to give everyone the heads-up. Thanks for your understanding.

English/European Soccer is BEGINNING TO SUCK DUE TO BAD REFEREEING.

Arsenal Vs Liverpool was a BAD REFEREE'S GAME; That referee, we call him "SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHE" THIS GUYS TALKS...LEAVE THE GAME OR REF THE GAME...HE KILLED ARSENAL'S GANME. WE UNDERSTAND WEAK GAME BAD BAD REFEREEING SHOULD NOT BE PART OF ANY CLUBS GAME...LOSING OR WINNING!!!

ARSENAL VS, BERCELONA:
THE REFEREE KILLED THE GAME, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE FACT THAT ARSENAL WAS PLAYING DEFENSE, THE SENDING OFF OF ARSENAL STRIKER WAS A VERY BAD JUDGMENT ON THE REFEREE'S SIDE. THE REFEREE'S FOUL RECOGNITION WAS VERY POOR AND THAT LED TO SERIES OF BAD CALLS.

GUYS, WHO SEND THESE REFEREES TO REF GAME SHOULD KNOW THAT WE ARE PAYING MONEY TO WATCH THE PLAYERS PLAY THE GAME AND NOT THE REFEREES.

ENGLISH/EUROPEAN SOCCER IS BEGINNING TO SUCK DUE TO BAD REFS, THIS IS OBVIOUS. THE MEDIA WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT....THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR JOBS BUT I TELL YOU, THE GAME IS BEGINNING TO SUCK DUE TO BAD EGGS IN THE REFEREE CIRCLE. LET THE GAME PLAY, IF AM THE COACH/MANAGER OF ARSENAL, I WILL BE VERY MAD, HE HAS GOTTEN TWO BAD GAMES DUE TO BAD REFEREEING....YOU CAN LOSE A GAME BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT REF. WHO PLAYED PART IN THE LOSS. PLEASE TALK TO YOUR REFEREES, THEY ARE BECOMMING TO BECOME VERY BAD AND OBVIOUS.

English/European Soccer use to be superb but ENGLISH/EUROPEAN SOCCER IS BEGINNING TO SUCK DUE TO BAD REFEREEING.
ARSENAL VS LIVERPOOL
This referee...we call him " Sunday School Teacher"...this guy talks and kills professional game. ...You ref. the game and stop the talking. We come to watch good players play the game and not the referees posting thir images, throwing the book at one club, and killing the spirit of the game by putting their interests over the game. Arsenal did not play their best game against Liverpool but they lost that game just because of bad refereeing. Please, ref/teacher, ref. the game and stop talking and killing the game.

Arsenal Vs Bercelona
I BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY THAT MECI WOULD NOT BE BEATEN TWICE BY ARSENAL...
but again, another bad refereeing against the Arsenal club. Very bad judgment to send the Arsenal striker out for doing nothing. This ref....his foul recognition was very very poor...; the penalty against Arsenal was bad call, the ref. could not control such a professional game...we are not paying money to come and see a ref. ruin a game for the club and for the fans.

Please, let the game play on...play on...play on, and be fair to both teams. Arsenal was insulted by that ref. during that Bercelona game. I know they would not win that game but then, give the teams equal chance to contest!!!

The media people would not say these things because they want to keep their job and look professional but I pay my money to watch these games...and ....bad refs to ruin my day?

Whoever sends these refs. to ref. these games should get down to business..., have serious talk with the refs. team, to stay away from deciding who wins...or will win...or playing well...or not playing well. They should just be fiar and ref. the game and leave the pitch.

If am the Arsenal's coach/manager, I would be very mad,...we are talking serious business and a ref. coming to decide your fate.

However, the clubs should know that refs. are part of the game and should do their their best. Bad refs, is just a 12 to 11 soccer game.
Thank you.
