.....but we are stinking up the pitch and Charlotte is red hot ! The only solace is most of our games left are against teams lower than us. The 7/27-28 games versus Charlotte is getting bigger with every game played.

I don't know that we stunk it up. I do know that incompetence in the referees reared its ugly head again. Total cop outs on the dual yellow cards in the scuffle, a good tackle by Kalungi was not only whistled but carded, and then Mr. thin skin ejected him. I thought maybe it was his 2nd yellow, but it's not in the match report (but it could be an error). The penalty was a farce, even thought they didn't score it. On both of those occasions, the ref was nowhere near a position to make a proper call. He stopped a clear advantage the Kickers had to call a foul on Wilmington. Twice the Kickers put a ball in the back of the net only to have some mysterious call be made. (the one on the corner kick made no sense as to why he stopped play). A serious look at the quality of officiating needs to happen. I have never seen so many poor performances in one season.
