Lumberton 4, Silsbee 2      FINAL
There were 4 Penalty Kicks, at least 6 yellows, 1 soft red, and 1 straight red.  Officiating was poor all around to say the least, and i never really complain about it, but there should have been 3 more reds.  Neither team gained much in preparation for future matches against better competition IMO.  Now this was the first time i've seen Silsbee play, so i dont know how they would grade their own performance in this match.  As for Lumberton, it was sloppy and very uncharacteristic of their talent.  The flow of the game was completely butchered by the amount of stoppages due to senseless fouls and foolishly immature outbursts.  Thank God noone was injured.  How, i have no idea!

Silsbee gave it hell. the ref was the same guy that officiated the game last year when Silsbee got into the fight. He called the game tight and the fact that the game was played one ref short didn't help matters. Im not saying that the officiating caused Silsbee to lose this game, but it sure didn't help them. Lumberton had 4 pks and silsbee was granted 1. Lumberton scored 2 goals off pks. Silsbee got one. Another of  lumberton's goals was scored off of a cross from the edge of the box to Lumberton's middle midfielder who headed it in. and another of Lumberton's goals was a freekick from straight on at the 18. Silsbee's other goal was about a 60 yard freekick. these goals were presented in no particular order.

So if I read this rite,  Lumberton missed two pks.  Is this true.  And how far was the Silsbee free kick that your saying is 60 yards.  That would be quite the free kick.

The ball was placed about 3 feet in front of the mid pitch line which is the 50 yard line in football. the goal is at the back of the endzone, which is 10 yards long. so 60 was a guestimation. it was a really far kick no matter what the factual number of yards it was.

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
