RSL Post Game Show Thread...

dysko · 06-23-2005, 12:41 AM

I still haven't figured out why Checketts Jr. is on that show... I think if he would quit trying to relate soccer to basketball and actually learn soccer it would be good. It seems to me that he is trying to make it on the sole merit of the fact he works for team and is an "insider," but he has no real credibility. I really think that the post game show isn't that good... it is nice to have the call in and such, but get someone who can talk soccer intelligently and really break down a game. That said I am glad there is something for post game, but the quality could be a lot better.

Sure black streamers are interesting and yes this is the US, but this is not hoops or pointyball and never will be. That is why I love the sport. We take time to show our support. We also take time to think of a way to show our embarasment, but we still chear our team.

Spencer if you lurk around here... I want you to know that this is America, but this is also SOCCER. Soccer fans are not going to come into a stadium and sit on their hands like they do in other sports. Soccer fans do things to let thier team know they are there. The Loyalists are behind RSL win lose or draw. The Loyalists love their team... they will cheer them on when they do well and when they don't. The Loyalist will commemorate milestones be they possitive or negative. RSL put its name in the record books tonight... it was commemorated. I am sure I don't stand alone when I say I would much rather commemorate Kreis notching his 100th goal, which will happen. The Loyalists will not conform to what soccer neophytes think they should do. This is America, but it is not other sports... It is different. Don't ask us to conform or question our support, rather ask us to help you understand why we do things the way we do.

So with that said can you add a spell checker to this message board.

Bad spellers of the world "Untie."

I'll see if I can find a hack.

Well dysko, I agree with you. However, since Uncle Dave has been a godsend to the soccer community in Utah, can of hard to look a gift horse in the mouth. Right?
If Spencer wants to do the Post game, let him.
But it could be cool if they got Wayne or someone in there as a third commentator.

Yes please get someone in who knows soccer... as for Spencer when someone can figure out what he does with the team other than hang out at games and do radio shows without even doing enough homework to relate to his audience I will cut him more slack.

What exactly did he say?

I take it he wasn't exactly thrilled by the black streamers...?

I didn't hear anything about the streamers, but there was about a 10 minute segment I missed. I always thought he did a fine job. No harm in upgrading though.
