man this sucks, we're done playing each other until the playoffs now.. and the season is only 2 weeks old. Yeesh. Who did the scheduling this year? Individual teams like old days, or a computer?

tough way to lose the match with that last goal. Ill have to watch the match once it is up on USLnation.com but overall i felt like we probably deserved a point at least.

But it was good to get back out there and see everyone.

I have to give big props to Ronnie last night.

He took a rash of trash talk all night from all sides of the stadium during the match.

After the match he came over to E10 and thanked all of us for the fun over the years and he will miss playing Charleston.

That's Ronnie for ya. He feeds off the crowd. I remember hearing some Vancouver fans saying they threw their best at him up there he was eating it up. I can't wait for the replay as well. I didn't get to see much of the game last night.

I can't stand players like that.. when they're on the other team of course.

some of the Battery alumni were giving him a hard time too
