Well said, Billybob00

hillbillybob... take a look at the IU soccer website. Or for that matter call coach yeagly and ask him about Matt. Seems that you morons are a little bent out of shape because your team sucks. Oh yeah, ask you blast keeper coach about him.. he trained him.

AMOM - What are your Kim's assistant? "All the boys played well". C'mon they're frigging men playing a game for money and people are taking my money to come watch. I'm assumming your a mom of one of the players or Mrs, Morris herself. This is not Lawrence rec soccer honey where everyone tries hard and we all go out for ice cream after. This is pro and should be looked upon as such. To lose to this bunch is totally unnacceptable. Paid nine bucks to see this losing crap for three years. OKAY, all you fine Blast supporters, tell me again, "If you don't like it stop going and stop sending your negative messages on this board." Well OK I will. Now how many other people have done the same and how many others are you willing to tell the same thing to. From what I saw last night, can't be more than 400 others.

COACH - Lambasting a player in the middle of the park after the game. What a joke. Save it for private. Gforever come on with his analysis. Fine, but he misses the whole point of whats's really going on and it begins with negativity from the coach to the way the whole organization is run, which trickles down to the players. Change all the players you want, the negativity from top to bottom won't change the results.

OWNER - Walking around in jeans and T-Shirt with a pack of Camels hanging out of his back pocket. So much for Tobacco free and creating an image of professionalism. No wonder they can't get solid sponsors or coverage.

Look, like I said before the whole thing starts at the top and right now the tops at the bottom.

Oh yeah, BillbobOO, I'd take the OO out. Ask Gforever what it means in Europe.

As for the IU keeper, stop being a twit and understand the world does not revolve around IU soccer and that just because he didn't play there does not mean he was bad, it means they had depth and there were no injuries to get him a shot. He's quite good and at the least has the aspiration to make it as a pro. Bottom line is he was on the team that won and that really means a lot.

Well,
It looks like people are getting upset and personal.Let's just talk about yesterday's game.
We have to say that Cincinnati was the better team (not necessarly with the best players).They were better organized,disciplined and played for each other.We can all criticised their keeper but
at the end of the day he won the game because his defenders did a good job protecting him (even tough he did not get anything to do).The real surprise was to see the Blast lined up with a 4-5-1 at kick off with Mark Allen as the lone forward!We have difficulties scoring goals and we line up a center back at forward!!I would understand if we had players to play off of him,but he was out of position (we did not create anything in the first half with Mark up top but we can not blame him for that).We lost the battle in the midfield even with 5 midfielders against 4.Overall I don't think that the defenders did such a bad job (we still need to distribute better from the back) but there is no movement of the ball,people wanting that ball,people wanting to create.There is no confidence,the players look scared of making mistakes.They have to play and enjoy it!
I think that it is time to go for it and assign roles to the players and ask them to stick with it (in a 3-5-2 with the option of inserting an extra attacking player behind the forwards or a defensive midfielder in front of the defense depending on the team we play against).
It is not too late but the coaching staff will have to do something about it pretty soon.
But that is only my opinion!

I am not sure what Jimmy was yelling at his players about at the end of the game but I do know if he was pointing out their short comings it needs to be done. I have been to some of their practices and know they work on the very things that they do not do on a regular basis in the game. These guys are playing for money and free rent for so many months off the organization. It is a profession and if they can not play it the way the coaches want it played, they deserve to be cheweed. I have heard Jimmies tirades and they are nothing compared to what you would hear in Europe on the pitch. I know coaches there that would make Jimmy appear to be a choir boy. I do think however that you have to deal with each player as an individual and come at him according to his tempermant. One thing that might be overlooked by a frustrated following is that you have four new players on the team or intermixing into the first rotation and cohesion is not easy to obtain with that mix. The recogition of Mark Allen forward as the single attacker with little to feed off is very valid. Mark should be in the defensive scheme and not in the front. The important thing to remember is that this is like any other cold business, one day you are here, the next day you are not as witnessed by Costa, Sweet, Dolinsky, Camerena and others. It is what can you do for us lately. It does not sit well with the soccer moms and family members but the players know this coming in and should play like they want to stay. A professional translates his practices to the playing field. That is the bottom line. PRODUCTION is what the team wants from all positions. Either produce or move on. Develop thick skin or you fill in the blank. This is not a Friday night out with the family and friends to see the young men play a fun game of soccer. It is a serious business with people paying money to see wins, and the owners shelling out big bucks for them to get a winner. They do with what they have for lack of sponsors. Competitive market. Either live with it and understand it or move on to the rec leagues and the premier and national leagues to watch. This is as close as you will get to the real deal without large sponsorship. It is also not Europe and the MLS so realize that to. Before someone asks the obvious, I am in no way associated with the Blast nor am I a member of the Morris family or a close personal friend. Just someone who did this for a long time and understand what the problems are to a small degree. Keep your head up Blast and play the way the coaches want you to. Some of you are already and doing a damned fine job. Others still have to transpose practice to the pitch. gforever

Who are you talking about? Kim is the owner.

socrfun,
why take the 00 out of my name. i dont give a sh$$ what it means in europe. havent you realized you are in america. this is american soccer, this isnt europe. get it together

that is funny how you think you know who everyone is. kims assistant. even if it is, why would you call them out. dont you have anything better to do. go back to europe where you and you "lads" can talk soccer

so the blast players are in it for the pay checks and free rent. speak for yourself but i know, a lot better then you do believe me, that there are a couple of people out there busting their back sides for this team and for you to say they are out there for a pay check. you should check yourself. this is going to get turned around and they will be laughing at people like you that say they are just out there for pay checks. that is absolutley obsurd. i wish you could do what some of those players are doing so you would respect what work that really goes into it. you make me sick!
