Sausages had had 3 of our regulars out of town, and only 6 people at the field when the coin toss took place. Even though players 7 and 8 were in the parking lot running towards the field, the officials, in the spirit of competition and fun, decided that a 1 minute grace period absolutely could not and should NOT be granted.
So, blazers got the ball in both halves, and sausages only had 6 guys on defense for the first series.
So, we had one guy who was playing his first game of the season last night, one guy who was playing his second, and three guys playing out of position.
We`re already in a tough position, but after 1 series each, blazers and sausages both have a TD.
The officials secured the game from there. We`ve all had games where we thought the officials screwed us one way or another. That`s a part of game playing in a "for fun" league -- and I accept that. Last night, these guys were screwed us so bad, I thought I was in a twilight zone episode.
I can handle officials that are trying their best and make a bad call or miss something. As human beings, and with only three of them out there, that`s completely understandable.
What really pi$$es me off is when you have guys like the three slackoffs from last night -- they really don`t care about even TRYING to do a good job, and they get off on the power (i.e. making us kick off both halfs because we didn`t have 8 guys with flags on at 7:59:59, and getting off on letting the clock expire on us the week before).
Let me be clear. Missing three regulars, two non-regulars filling in, kicking off both halves, and giving the blazers a series with only 6 defenders, and no subs... We weren`t going to win. But with a fairly officiated game, we could have at least stayed close enough to have fun. |
I can`t really believe someone actually took the time to write that Sh@#! This must be a joke. Has someone check the number to see if it`s legit? That post is truely sad.
Why brag about #10 in semi-pro ball? Who cares? O wait I`ll be sure to turn on ESPN to get the lastest rankings. That just tells me that there are 9 other teams better than yours and I got a good idea why, your on the team. If your actually think your good at contact play it, but it seems you suck at flag football! Go cry to your Falcons |
