Silsbee vs Lcm

[oodooo]

I mean hey there was some [i]gooooooddd[/i] sportsmanship in that game

[bullets13]

i don't really understand the purpose of this post.  posts criticizing teams, players, other posters, or coaches, as well as posts with no relevance will be taken down.

Alright, I shouldn't have tried to single out a specific player, but I didn't intend to though. I guess I should've made it more blatant that I was using one game as a reference to the increase in unsporting conduct in the area. Granted I realize soccer has contact, and there isn't too much that can be done about that. I am referring to the cheap shots and lack of respect for the game that has shown up lately. The Silsbee and Lcm game was just the most recent example. But I will draw on the fact that other threads have criticized teams for the poor play and dirty plays yet they have remained posted.

i can live with that response.  we've had some issues on the soccer forum lately that i'm trying to clear up.  your explanation makes more sense.  give us some info about the game, though.  score?  what happened that upset you?

[oodooo]

I was upset with the ways that slide talking from behind has become customary and also the fact a player is allowed to take 6 steps to hit a guy, then another guy can come off the bench and hit the same player without any impediment. The score was 6-2. I don't know what individual players scored, but I do know that Silsbee cycled goalies.

There was a "fight" in this game, which i'm sure is what this post is reffering to.

An LCM player commited a hard foul on a Silsbee player. The LCM player was walking away with his back turned to the Silsbee player, when the Silsbee player ran after the LCM player and punched him in the side of the face from behind his back. The result was a couple of players already on the field pushing and shoving to seperate teammates, and the Silsbee bench (which was closest to the action) clearing and most of the players coming on the field. One of the players from the Silsbee bench proceeded the blindside the same LCM player (who was barely on his feet, stumbling around, and clearly unable to defend himself) with another hit to the side of the face. Coaches from both teams performed admirably in keeping their players out of the scenario and keeping the event from escalating, excluding the one extra player who entered in. Red cards were administered to both players from Silsbee, and a yellow to the LCM player. The LCM player suffered no serious injuries, but i believe the second person to hit him recieved a broken hand.

For the record, I've seen a clear video of this incident numerous times and own a copy myself.

thanks for the explanation.  i'm glad to hear that the coaches managed to get things back under control.

@ThatSoccerGuy

That "fight" is what I'm referring to, I too have seen the video. Unfortunately I did not see how the coaches handled it, I only watched the one Silsbee player reach said Lcm player without any contest.

So were there any other repurcussions to the two silsbee players besides red cards?

None as far as I know to this point.

[Mea Culpa]

To LCM and Silsbee Athletes,Coaches,and Fans:

        I'd like to apologize for my actions during the LCM vs. Silsbee soccer game on January 15,2010.
I now realize that my actions were not only inappropriate, but extremely dangerous. I feel that I have disrespected my fellow athletes, my coaches, my family, and myself. Most of all, I'd like to personally and sincerely apologize to the LCM athlete whom I hope is not injured. I hope that other student athletes will take note of the grief that this incident has caused for everyone involved.

[/quote]  1puncher suspended 3 game 2nd puncher off team, assigned to alternative campus.  His punishment worse because he was not the one slide tackled and was on the bench at time of incident.  community of silsbee condemns actions of both boys.  boys are known to be good kids who have not been in trouble before.  Rumor is that both are facing charges

We beat Silsbee,This past Tuesday on a shoot out.

No such action can be condoned. It is clearly wrong and indefensible. Stepping up and taking responsibility with a sincere apology is a start. These boys will learn that there are consquences to their actions and bad decisons whether spur of the moment or on the field or off the bench. On the other hand, if the LCM kid is not injured(and I hope he is not), I would urge that crimminal charges not be filed. Every kid makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. Let's resist the run to the courthouse mentality.
I read recently that Pat Tillman, generally considered a modern hero, spent time in a juvenile facility for a high school fight. Glad he was given a second chance.

[Guest Newbie]

I agree with watash.  I do not condone this behavior and punishment should fit the deed.  If this is a first offense though, I disagree with charges being filed.  Everyone makes mistakes, he's living with the consequences.  Previous behavior should be considered.  Let's not mess up a teenager's future from a (hopefully) isolated incident.

[elhector1]

So the girl from the Ozen basketball team should have the charges dropped against her, if this is a first incident?  The sports may be apples to oranges, but the punch is exactly the same.

[Guest Newbie]

The punch is the same, I don't know either player, but previous behavior and premeditation should be considered.

To LCM and Silsbee Athletes, Coches, and Fans:

      I would also like to apologize for my blatant actions at the LCM vs. Silsbee soccer game on January 5, 2010.
I understand that soccer is a contact sport and that you may get slide tackled from behind. I should have held my temper and shouldn't have pursued the LCM player. I sincerely apologize to the LCM player that my teammate and I hit. I hope that my fellow athletes, coaches and fans consider my condolences.
