Thoughts- Closer game then it should have been, Cincinnati has alot of talent and outplayed Richmond at times. Both goals that were scored in live play were things of beauty. An open question... How can someone as fat as John McGinlay have such thin skin?? Thanks for the fingers McGinlay, I'll use them well... You... just enjoy your sheep and haggis laddie. :Big Grin:

Be proud, Kings fans. At least your score was respectable. The hounds fell, 4-0.

lol...i'm sure John wasn't that upset with you...you should hear him at Kings games, lol. mmm...haggis...good stuff.

lets hope the Kings can get a couple goals back on sunday.

one good thing is that the Kings didn't give up any early goals like they have in the past.

I think the Kings are in a very good position to overtake the Kickers, with the home field advantage on Sunday, and a great turnout. I'd like to see that happen.

I don't take things like that personally... its all in good fun, most of the time... I just couldn't believe he was so easy to wind up.
I have to say though he was NOT a happy man at the end of the game. I really wouldn't have wanted to be on the Kings bus home last night.

i hope he wasn't happy at the end of the game. no coach should be happy when the team loses. one thing is that it looks like Pickup started last night and if you look at the stats, the Kings don't usually win when he is in the lineup. he's a great coach, but having the coach on the field isn't always a good thing. i wonder if he was playing because of injuries. if thats the case, i hope that all the guys are healthy for tomorrows game.
