CI Hecklers

What a game!  Looking tired and sloppy for the start of the match, with poor passes and giving up a goal early, the fans were feeling the magic leaving the island.  Then we call upon our mystical player of the season T-Ship, as he navigates the murky waters of Crystal Palace defense.  Floating past players and making the GK look stupid as he gets chipped off the cross bar.  It was beautiful.  We from the deck were in total suspense as the ball looked to be suspended in the air, taunting the opposing players.  Perhaps it was the spirit of the "bandanna boyz" that made that ball drop on the favorable side of the line.  It was exciting to see the 2 individuals with white shirts, and blue bandanna's, banging the drum, and flying the banner wishing DC best wishes for Tuesday night.

The second half produced 2 great goals by my favorite #11 the 'druber.  A wonderful substitution by Becher bringing speed and size up top causing direct pressure on the defensive line and the shaky Brian "nice uniform, bedazzled himself" GK.  Don't think we did not see the wonderful build up to produce these, The deuce-deuce with a terrific ball.  We look forward to watching some more wonderful plays 7-7 in Md. Putting another MLS team in their place.

Let's Go Islanders.

Let me start by saying sorry I missed the cup game.  Man am I sorry.  It sounds like the deck was the best scene of the season.  Good thing Bixler has enthusiastic family.  Taking it down to the 6th shooter in OT, penalties, singing.  After telling me about the game, you might as well come over and kicked my dog.  I will never be able to let down this missed game.

So with 2 great games we were able to welcome back two of our former boys.  Barbosa who has great taste in footware and the ever lovable Dave Kern.  Both of which made our team look like we are in first place.  Ty is making waves as one of our best players ever, and the supporting cast has been amazing.  I thought Nate played a great game in the back, and we moved the ball better than ever.  Big ups to the coaching staff for this squad thus far.

Look forward to hearing what everone else thinks, and did I hear someone say road trip.  I always wanted to tour Sam Adams anyway.

We have official jumped into the Open Cup this summer with some furry.  Winning over the Rage 4-1 makes a good statement to the rest of the field.  With the Wester Mass squad showing up tuesday we must once again show up with force.  Not to jinks, but moving ahead would be the Rev's.  New England was the team to end a wonderful run 2 years ago, loved to have that chance again.

This weekend we have The Hairy Pigs, who got us on their Island.  Not to happen again, we will stay on the top of the usl-2 and prepare for a big upcoming week.  This is going to be difficult for CI with key members of the defense out with injuries.  We are pulling for you Bix, "let the healing begin!"

What a win!!!!  We saw some great soccer that windy night on the Island.  A 3-0 victory over the river rats is always welcomed.  Other than the goal scoring power, soon to be league leader, Chad. And the wonderful talent of Mr. backwards (Congrats on your first goal) Ty, what are your thoughts of our 2nd Home Victory!!!

After the first home game of the season, what are the thoughts of our squad?
