With so many players off celebrating freedom, liberty, and the right to purchase automobiles and mattresses at dramatically reduced prices, Manager Seanny found himself scrambling to assemble a skeleton crew of Ranger stalwarts to combat Hawks, our bugaboo rivals from the other side of the Columbia River. Forfeit: Not an Option. Rangers have never just rolled over and died in their entire illustrious multi-decade history and Sean wasn't going to be the first manager to fly the white flag, especially since a similar Hawks forfeiture last spring cost us goal differential and the chance to play for a championship. Many, many frantic emails, Facebook messages and passive-aggressive queries went out to secure a full-strength squad. As July 3rd dawned cool and gray, eleven brave men stepped forward to answer the call:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 27px; font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Do you know that there's still a chance for you?</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 27px; font-size:17px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">'Cause there's a spark in you</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">You just gotta ignite the light</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And let it shine</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Just own the night</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Like the Fourth of July</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">'Cause baby you're a firework!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">[Queue fireworks and explosions shooting from Katy Perry's ample bosom.]</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 18px; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCMEe-3VPohl_feh_enTWMT8aSDvlONPOHDJ18T7Hc137HXVFMMxOvYL3QPMRSSFU3o7eJEZGElMsqhgPgW6fjkqQjs3BeJ3ZcNiTuZCqGWtLCq42djVrRecj2tcrDqxUH5MopTEkqCBA/s1600/Katy-Perry-Firework-music-video.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCMEe-3VPohl_feh_enTWMT8aSDvlONPOHDJ18T7Hc137HXVFMMxOvYL3QPMRSSFU3o7eJEZGElMsqhgPgW6fjkqQjs3BeJ3ZcNiTuZCqGWtLCq42djVrRecj2tcrDqxUH5MopTEkqCBA/s200/Katy-Perry-Firework-music-video.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625586180865664114" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 108px; " /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 18px; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Starting XI:</span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Silverman, goalkeeper</span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Pullen - Bauman - DeBar - Payne, fullbacks</span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Siegel - Muralt - Calkins - Ingersoll, midfielders</span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Holstein - Fahrbach, strikers</span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Reserves: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Reserves?

Dramatic calls were made. Eventually, the referee hung up his phone and agreed to the arrangement, but with the caveat of thirty minute halves. Some looks of consternation flashed among 'Gers. Sixty minutes? That's it? </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ingersoll, recalling the non-match a year ago, flashed a steely look of snarky, vengeful malice: "We outnumber them by a lot.

But we didn't. Maybe it was the long break since our last match. Maybe it was the new combination of players. Maybe it was the lack of goose crap on the pitch that somehow threw our bearings off, but whatever the reason...we were awful. We had difficulty connecting on passes, making traps, and finishing. Ingersoll sliced a shot so far right from the top of the box it may have struck a small child playing in the grandstand. Hawks' keeper, a strong stickminder despite his penchant for wearing a Flounders kit, scooped up the long balls ably and compensated for his right back's lack of mobility. Fahrbach and Holstein started getting chances but the net continued to elude us for the first half. The referee's whistle was a mournful clarion call to action.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"Their backs are old and slow.

That proffered 1-0 forfeit was looking pretty sweet in hindsight now. Stupid hindsight. 'Gers took to the field and, although the passes were still spraying all over, they were connecting. Ingersoll and Siegel got more involved on the flanks and the back line was solid with Silverman only having to make two of his trademarked sliding saves. When their dribbling midfielder started getting mazy at the top of the box, our backs collapsed and forced him into a low percentage shot. DeBar, Payne and Pullen controlled the back line and allowed Bauman to roam forward.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">With ten minutes to play and the situation looking dire, Calkins fired a long pass behind the Hawks right back and allowed Ingersoll to surge forward into the box. Their keeper covered his angles and Ingersoll laid off a gentle pass to the on-rushing Muralt, unmarked and lonely to the left of the penalty spot. He took his time, picked his shot, and finally beat the keeper with a clean strike through the middle. 1-1 was at least not an embarrassment, but did the Yellow and Black have another in the tank to make the result respectable?</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Indeed they did.

It fell kindly to Muralt, who calmly collected and passed it into the net. The keeper, for all of his match day heroics, had no chance. There were a few cries for offsides, but it was a clean goal and 'Gers escaped with all three points, a modicum of self-respect, and a solid mid-table position with two (but likely only one) match remaining.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Thanks to Muralt's family and Stella Bauman for coming out to watch.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: left;

I mean, you can't just not show up for a bunch of kids, right? (Well, technically, I have but my priorities are kind of whack.) But some things a team can control...like getting eleven players on the field. Blessed by last week's reschedule of the KMA match, Manager Seanny did some research and realized that having only played six matches, the team roster was not required by league rules to be closed as it is on the seventh match. As such, he was able to acquire some other on-loan players. Normally that means contacting FC77 Hibernian, the O40 squad, and hoping Brian Gaffney and several others would play another match...but Hibs were playing immediately after the famed Blue Monk Derby in another part of town, so that wouldn't work. Well, bollocks! Wait. Bollocks! FC77 Bollocks! A quick email was sent to Open 2nd Division side FC77 Bollocks manager Jeff Lucas and, happily, he and two or three other players offered to come "help a brother out". Ingersoll also chanced upon former Ranger Dan Holstein at the Timbers-Rapids match Saturday night and casually dropped the nugget he was looking for some players on Sunday. Holstein's eyes lit up and after a few moments, it was evident the Prodigal Son was comin' home to Daddy. And by Daddy I mean Rangers. Just want to clear that up.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Starting XI:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Silverman, goalkeeper</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Pullen - Calkins - Payne, fullbacks</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Travis from FC77 Bollocks, stopper</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Burden - Nic from FC77 Bollocks - Jeff Lucas - Ingersoll, midfielders</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Holstein - Youssef, strikers</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Reserves (Oh, glorious reserves!):</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">King, Schutte, and Fahrbach</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Not Available: </b> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Abso-freakin'-lutely everybody else</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Sometimes everything just clicks. Sometimes the weather is just right, the passes are going where they are supposed to, the ball falls to the right person in a 50/50 challenge, and the opposing goal looms really, REALLY large. Sunday, June 12th at 11:30 a.m. was just such a day. The new players from Bollocks and Holstein immediately found their groove and place in the starting scheme and everything just kind of went the way it used to--the way it is supposed to. Sharp runs down the outside flanks. Smart hold-up and control in the middle. Silverman bored out of his gourd from most of the first half. Ten minutes in, Burden made a run into the 'Hounds box and was adjudged by the match official to have been unfairly tackled by the opposing defensive line. As the 'Gers left winger dropped to the turf, the referee showed no hesitation pointing to the spot.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">"You want to take it?" Ingersoll asked Burden. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Ron graciously shrugged it off. "Naw, go ahead."</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">And thus began a complex (ha!) psychological mind game of captain and keeper. See, Ingersoll and the 'Hounds keeper have played on the same winter team before and one afternoon, during a practice at PSU when Ingersoll was practicing his penalties, he distinctly told this very keeper this: "My coach in high school told me to always shoot at the exact same spot. Make it automatic so you never miss. Find your spot in the net and always shoot at it. I once took a PK in high school and put it so far over the bar that my coach made me take 25 PKs after every practice and I had to shoot at the same spot every time. Since I figured most keepers were right handed, I would shoot right (their left) hoping their left side would be weaker. So every practice my senior year, I took 25 PKs to my right." The 'Hounds keeper is a smart man and I was sure he remembered that conversation. So what would he do? What would I do?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Would he leap to the right because he knew I always shot right? Or would he leap left because he knew I knew he knew I always shot right? Or would he still go right because he knew I knew he knew I knew I shot right but he was trying to fake me out? Or would he go left because he knew I knew he knew I knew he knew I knew I shot right?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Ah...f**k it.

The ball drilled into the net in the center of the goal. It wasn't Hasli's chip of Keller from the spot over the weekend, but they don't ask how, just how many. 1-0 'Gers.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><i>Losing to Wolfhounds = NOT ACCEPTABLE</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Thus began a veritable deluge of goals. Holstein opened his scoring account after only fifteen minutes with the team with a deft move from the left side, finding the net from well within the box and doubling up the score. With Travis subbing himself off due to a calf strain and ankle knock, 'Gers was still left with two subs available and took full advantage of the fresh legs. 2-0 became 3-0 when Burden himself connected also from the left side, sliding a worm-burner into the far corner of the goal and then, just a few minutes later, launching a 25 yard effort that went just wide. The comfortable lead loosened up the side to make smart runs and play with added confidence. Lucas made an unopposed run from his center midfield position to the right side of the box onto Nic's slicing pass behind the 'Hounds back line, but the field was just a little too short to support the move. Nic later played a looping ball from his central midfield position to the left side of the opposing goal, finding Roy Payne of all people making a sixty yard run deep into the box. Payne took full advantage of his rare foray forward and hit the ball with the outside of his foot, sending it across the goal mouth and into the netting for his first goal as a Ranger and the team's fourth of the day. (Not bad considering he was only 90 yards out of position! Ha!) Youssef was integral to several passing plays and King later scored from another left-sided series that beat the keeper near side, I recall, and all but killed any vestige of momentum, hope, or desire 'Hounds may have entertained. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><i>Losing to Wolfhounds = Not Likely at This Point</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The back line provided rock solid protection all half. Silverman was required to only make a few collections, mostly long through balls that were fast on the turf, and Calkins, Angry Mike, Fahrbach and Payne (when he wasn't in the other box!) all totally dominated the infrequent balls that got into our half. Lucas eventually dropped back into a stopper role and further denied any 'Hounds movement through the center. 'Hounds started finding more success in the second half as the sides got tired and the field was broken into the "attacking" and the "defending" halves of the team. Eventually, they played a long ball and got lucky, but Payne did make their striker pay for it with a decent tackle to get his pound of flesh for the goal. Schutte answered with a strike of his own--his first goal as a Ranger, too!--midway through the second half after anchoring the center midfield and working the right side enough to get close for a pop. 'Gers did an excellent job of making off-the-ball runs, exploiting space, and retaining possession. The game was wide open back-and-forth for the last twenty minutes, with Silverman making a few of his signature slide tackles to keep additional shots from not happening. I think someone even cracked wise, "Hey, Aaron, a few more tackles like that and we are going to make you a field player!" 'Hounds got a yellow card for dissent late in the match, but the overall mood was generally cordial and the final whistle welcomed by all, including the three Ranger supporters in attendance...Kendall Ingersoll, Toby Holstein, and Paddy's lady friend.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><i>Losing to Wolfhounds = Not Gonna Happen</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">So another three points, no new cards, and a rousing Blue Monk Derby performance...that's a pretty good afternoon's work.

The shortened match at Rob Strasser Field in Delta Park looked like a morning to forget for the Yellow and Black, but credit the renewed "never say die attitude" of the squad--and Manager Seanny's profanity-laced motivational tirade after the first goal--for an exciting six goal shoot-out.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Starting XI:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Silverman, Goalkeeper</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Pullen - Calkins - Payne, fullbacks</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Snyder, holding midfielder</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Schutte - Bennouri - Muralt - Ingersoll, midfielders</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Fahrbach - Youssef, strikers</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Reserves:</b> None</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Not available:</b> Bauman, Burden, Gullung, King, Radigan, Reyes, Seaton</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Rangers welcomed back Thom "The Good Doctor" Fahrbach after a year long absence as well as Paddy Schutte, who had joined the squad in the winter. With the same defensive line available from last week, Fahrbach switched to the new role of second striker, filling in for King. Schutte took up Burden's position on the right wing, with Ingersoll playing on the left. The 3-1-4-2 formation was otherwise unchanged from last week's side that ran riot over Wolfhounds. With no substitutes on the bench and a shortened 80 minute match required due to the late start of the OPL match on the pitch prior to kick-off, 'Gers hoped to settle in to a comfortable rhythm of possession and wide play like last week. CHAx3 did not want to play that game, alas, and took advantage of a long ball down the near wing to break a striker through on a hero run after just ten minutes. Silverman rushed out to cut off the angles but the net was just too big and it was 0-1. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Still reeling from the unexpected strike, the orange-clad visitors found a second goal not long afterwards. A similarly uncreative solo run up the middle again found Silverman stranded. 0-2 after just a quarter hour. The match seemed over and done around the twentieth minute when Payne was adjudged to have committed a tackle from behind in the box, dropping the striker to his back. Match official Carlos showed no hesitation pointing to the spot and although Silverman correctly guessed the shot was going to be low and to his left, there was just enough power on it to send it past his outstretched gloves. 0-3 before most people had broken a drizzly sweat. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">But as Manager Seanny mentioned to Calkins after the match: "I just never believed we were going to lose." And thus The Rally began. It began with little things--Snyder executing his 38th consecutive clinically perfect slide tackle to stop a run...a smart little series of three passes from Pullen to Bennouri to Schutte to circumvent a troublesome CHA midfielder when others would have blindly kicked it out of touch...a tidy lateral pass from Ingersoll to Muralt to get a shot from distance off and test the keeper...Fahrbach and Youssef working together to send Youssef through the line for another shot that required a CHA defender to wildly throw himself at the ball. The tempo started to pick up. 'Gers started winning 50-50 balls and working the side lines for a throw-in and then a corner kick. And then another corner kick. Payne would get forward as Calkins and Snyder smartly shifted left to cover him. There wasn't a single epic turning point in the first half that heralded The Rally, but as the bulk of play continued to hover around midfield, then creep into the orange half, and then more than occasionally end with a shot just off goal, it seemed to this reporter that the times they were a-changing.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">With a halftime faster than Chuck Woolery could say "We'll be back in two and two!", 'Gers retook the pitch with a mission: Score quickly to turn the momentum. Despite having the wind in their faces, FC77 looked spry and wily from the outset, finding success on both sides. Snyder and the defensive crew managed to shut down the hero runs as well as expertly synchronize their line for at least three offsides calls. With the back nicely buttoned up, the midfielder stepped up and began to dominate the field of play, occasionally springing Bennouri through or finding the strikers in dangerous positions up high. Finally, after ten minutes, 'Gers got their reward. A forward surge by the middies and strikers saw Bennouri place a sweet, sexy ball behind their left back and into the hobbling run of Ingersoll, who was gimping his way forward with a bum right heel. Not wanting to waste such a gloriously set ball, he surged into the box and toe-punched it forward from fifteen yards out. The goalie flopped at it but couldn't keep it from finding the upper near post. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">"YEAH!!! YEAH!!! GET THE [bleep!] BALL!!! LET'S GO RANGERS!!! GET THE [bleep!] BALL!!! C'MON!!!" Undoubtedly Wayne Rooney is smiling somewhere in Manchester as his motivational, profanity-laced tirade found its Yankee counterpart on the wet, chilly climes of North Portland. As the sides reset, Ingersoll barked: "LET'S GO RANGERS!!! PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR [bleep!] AND PLAY SOME SOCCER!!!"</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Play some soccer they did! A robust challenge on the CHA strikers after kick-off found the ball back in the orange half, as did another challenge when it came back, and again. 'Gers swarmed the ball wherever it went and not eight minutes later, the black horde surged forward again. Muralt took the ball into the box and then served it on a silver platter to the still-gimpy Ingersoll, who crushed it with the inside of his bum foot from just outside the corner of the six and into the same section of net to make it 2-3. More semi-intelligible roars of histrionic man joy ensued as the side barked for a third...and Bennouri obliged not two minutes later with a fantastic looping shot from outside the box that beat the keeper to the upper left corner. 'Gers went wild screaming for a match winner. CHA got a little snippy as they tried to stem the wave of momentum overwhelmingly in FC77's favor with several little incidents involving Snyder, Muralt and Pullen, ultimately forcing the referee to stop play and ask Pullen: "Do you want to play or what?" To which Pullen, to his eternal credit, responded: "Yeah I want to play but I don't a [bleep!]ing broken leg either!" He's not called Angry Mike for nuthin'! Boo-yah!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Silverman finished up the second half substantially less busy than the first, reeling in a corner kick and some errant through balls. 'Gers had a few chances to find a fourth in the last four minutes--notably, Muralt's shot from outside the box and Ingersoll's half-volley of a corner flashing over and wide of the upper right corner-- but The Rally was predestined to stop with three glorious goals and not four. An exciting finish and another point in the table keep Rangers undoubtedly near the top as the side prepares to travel to Vancouver for the long, LONG awaited rematch with the team whose forfeit cost us a shot at the championship last spring.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Match Summary:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">CHA-10'</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">CHA-15'</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">CHA-(PK), 20'</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">RAN-Ingersoll, 55'</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">RAN-Ingersoll, 63'</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">RAN-Bennouri, 65'</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Halftime: RAN 0-3 CHA</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Discipline: None</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Attendance: 14-36, depending upon what time you counted</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Next Match:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Hawks (0-1-0, 0 points) v FC77 Rangers (1-0-1, 4 points)</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Sunday, 18 April, 2011</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Devereaux Field</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Vancouver, Washington</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">10:00 a.m. KO</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div>iSeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13696788734485864894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279990006513771.post-58462695370849556072011-04-05T20:48:00.000-07:002011-04-05T21:55:46.377-07:00'Gers Spay 'Hounds in Opener, 6-0<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>FC77 Rangers 6 : 0 Wolfhounds FC</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">(Muralt - PK 10'; Youssef 15'; Ingersoll 20';</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Gullung 25'; King 28', 35')</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">FC77 Rangers announced their return to the GPSD O-30 Third Division with authority on Sunday, crushing rivals Wolfhounds FC 6-0 at Rob Strasser Field in North Portland. An almost flawless first half of soccer put the match out of reach twenty minutes after kick-off as the Yellow and Black cruised to their eleventh consecutive Blue Monk Derby victory. Cheered on by an enthusiastic trio of Junior Rangers, for the first time in approximately a year Rangers looked like Rangers...and it was friggin' dog-gone awesome.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Get it?

Playing the outside wing game that earned them success in the previous spring campaign, 'Gers maintained an approximate 70% - 30% possession advantage over their opponents for the entire first half. Keeper Aaron Silverman touched the ball twice--both times for goal kicks. Muralt, Bennouri, and Snyder kept tight control of the center of the field, ably assisted by Pullen, Calkins and Payne, who all showed calm and collected control when the ball occasionally did reach their high line. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Charles Gullung's second foray into the box around the tenth minute found him tackled from behind and Referee Andy showed no hesitation pointing to the spot. Still recovering from...uh...man surgery, Gullung deferred the penalty kick to Muralt, who clinically dispatched the ball into the back left side of the net for an early lead. 'Gers doubled their advantage five minutes later when Bennouri--returning from a winter stint with FC77 PBR--turned the right back and flashed a quick box into the mixer. Ingersoll's shot ricocheted off the 'Hound central defense, eventually landing at Youssef's feet. The Ranger substitute blasted a shot from 9 yards out past 'Hound keeper's right side and with a joyous whoop, put the match all but out of reach.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">But there was more. Oh, was there more. A smartly played arching ball from Bennouri just five minutes later dropped behind the Wolfhound left back and Capt. Seanny rushed wildly past to receive it. Smartly taking possession on the bounce about thirty yards out, the strikingly handsome manager turned into the box and, finding himself one on one with the keeper, blasted a shot back into the far corner for the third. This made Ingersoll very happy because he usually whiffs it and obligingly, he flashed the Ranger "Gangsta" sign to celebrate. This is important to note because in the thirtieth minute Bennouri turned the right back again and served up the most beautiful pass to a wide open Ingersoll on the six yard line. Instead of tapping it in, he ripped a shot over the bar in defiance of all known laws of geometry and physics. Crumpling to his knees in shame, Ingersoll will be mercilessly taunted until he scores again.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Gullung opened his Ranger account just a few minutes after that with a cheeky chip on the near post. Running onto another dangerous attack, Gullung (playing only for the second time with Rangers) beat the keeper and managed to pop the ball up and over the goalie. The ripple of the net signaled a fourth.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">'Gers veteran King earned himself an inaugural brace in the next ten minutes. The first goal <i>[King: Correct me if I'm wrong as you know I value my journalistic integrity] </i>came off a thundering run through the middle and ended with a clinical finish to the near side, while his second in the 35th was a hustle play to rush onto the end of a widely slotted shot and put it back across the face of goal and into the net. Both goals were the result of some neat passing against a slightly blitzkreiged defense. Although he didn't get on the score sheet, Burden played his typical high energy game with several left-side runs and crisp passing with Bennouri and Muralt.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Ingersoll's half time team talk was essentially, "Let's give Silverman a clean sheet," and while 'Hounds continued to put up a spirited display and earn three or four shots in the second half, the Pullen-Calkins-Payne Axis held strong. Snyder stymied several closer-in attacking moves but was not required to execute his trademark flawless slide tackle. Silverman did slide out to meet a striker on a far run late in the match but the result was never in doubt. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Despite frequent attacks on the Wolfhounds net, a seventh goal was surprisingly not to be found. Youssef got a one on one midway through the half and was, like his captain, also unlucky to find the net. Not so easy after all, is it my friend? Eh? Gullung picked up a caution in the seventieth minute after exchanging words with the opposing keeper and...uh...aggressively giving him the ball. A steady flurry of shots and offside calls kept their defense busy until the final whistle and the six goal first half barrage proved to be the story of the afternoon.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">"The boys looked sharp and we executed as well as we ever have in the first half," </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Ingersoll said after the match.

Of course, having a full complement of eleven players on the field and some substitutes would have helped, too, or failing that, I could have played holding midfielder while my colleague Tartuff acted as a sweeper to neutralize the delayed runner on corner kick set plays. Plus, wookiees are justifiably famous for their aerial prowess as well as ripping people's arms out.

With raining falling before and immediately after the Match Day Five contest--but generally not during the hour we played--and both sides starting with only ten players, the teams finished the season with five points each and tied for third place in the O-30 First Division.

Both Gaffney and Jones are FC77 stalwarts from multiple teams, notably FC77 Hibernian and Newcastle. Their presence on the pitch was greatly welcomed as they both put in full shifts and definitely helped to keep the match from being another undermanned runaway...but that is the last reference I will ever make to the Sunday night massacre from last week. Brian from Wolfhounds also offered to stick around and play a second match and his efforts at the back right side were also appreciated as he did very well to neutralize the outside striker and keep control of the ball it was pinged back and forth in our end. Thanks, gentlemen!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Payne took over the keeper's gloves for the match, an impressive feat since he is still recovering from broken ribs. Despite the injury, Payne made several bold rushes off his line to intercept the inevitable long ball O-30 players send on bouncy turf pitches. Another scrapped together back line did a fine job keeping him from getting too busy, with Symmetry's only score coming from another dreaded corner kick play approximately twenty minutes into the first half. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Calkins and Calkins' Beard slid into the back line around the fifteenth minute, pushing Snyder up to his more familiar roll as holding midfielder. This enabled Jim to do what he does best every match, and that would be executing textbook-perfect slide tackles on breakaway strikers. Bearing the fruits of his labors (i.e., a nice bloody raspberry on the knees from one such challenge) as his scabby red badge of courage, he helped lock down the rear guard for most of the match and frustrated several menacing attacks, especially by that one guy who looked like Edgar Davids without the goggles. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Most of the match seemed to center around the middle of the pitch, with almost 85% of possession within 20 yards each side of the center line. Muralt and Harris commandeered the center of the squad and they had several good series of shorter passes and distribution to the wings. The typical Rangers style of "ball from middle, to wings, and then crossed back inside" started to reappear and 'Gers held a lot of possession and threatening attacks in the first twenty minutes...making Symmetry's goal against the run of play. Burden and Ingersoll both had a couple of good runs and many crosses into the mixer, but the goal was either too small or too far away for it to find net.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The Yellow and Black's equalizer came in the second half. Gaffney collected a loose ball, took it wide to the touchline, and arced a pass forward to Ingersoll. The skipper collected it on the line, turned upfield, and made a run down the sideline. Spotting Jones and King surging forward, he flared the ball across the center to Jones, who skillfully took control and made for the box. He was clattered over from behind just inside the "D" and earned 'Gers a free kick from a dangerous position. Muralt knew what to do next. After the wall was pushed back the requisite ten yards, he squared himself up and sniped a curling ball over the right side of the wall and just inside the far post of the net, beating the outstretched keeper. The final ten minutes was frantic as 'Gers looked for a winner, with King coming close off another dish from Ingersoll and Burden hitting a bouncing shot from the top corner of the box, but regrettably, victory was not to be had on the day.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Rangers first official winter season ever ended with a 1-2-2 record, some good goals, and an appetite for more football in the very near future...which is good, because the real spring season starts the first or second weekend in April.

Seriously--'Gers took to the pitch in their familiar 3-1-4-2 formation. Welcoming Snyder and Gullung into the side for the first match of the year, the Yellow and Black pressed the play from the start. Rushing down the field, former Wolfhound Switzer, playing for perhaps the final time as a Ranger, blasted an early shot past the left upright. A couple of throw-ins deep in the 'Hounds half of the field hinted at more chances and Ingersoll's drive from inside the box chipped past the right post. Youssef fought hard up front and often found himself battling multiple defenders for space or the ball. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The home side recovered their composure and started to put together some passes. Payne [Fun true fact: He was playing with a fractured rib!], Calkins, and Pullen were able to intercept any potential messes and Silverman aptly dealt with any balls that trickled through. Muralt looked dangerous from distance as the half wound down with a wicked shot that was headed just under the crossbar, but to their keeper's credit, he stretched big and got enough of his fingers on the ball to push it off the top of the frame and out of bounds for a corner kick.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">After the interval the side went back to work through the middle, with Muralt, Gullung, Snyder and Harris all working hard to change up the play, make quick passes, or look for an outlet. The little bit of luck that has eluded us for quite a while finally came round ten minutes into the second half when Burden came across the pitch to take a corner kick. His kick was expertly delivered into the mixer and seemed to curve inwards just enough to make the goalkeeper nervous. The delivery found eyes for net and despite a valiant effort to punch it away, the ball splashed into the net for the only goal of the afternoon. "I'll take that!" Burden cheered as the sides reformed. 'Hounds put up a spirited bit of ball for the final twenty minutes and found a lot of possession in our side. Silverman roared out to make several sliding saves, eventually getting his clean sheet. A late series of shots had the home side screaming for a penalty, but match official Padman would have none of it and looked like he was giving serious thought to carding one of the more vocal Wolfhounds. 'Gers got a couple of more breaks, with Muralt and Ingersoll both letting fly from outside the box, but in the end it was Burden's blast from the corner that was the game winner.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Match notes</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">...As mentioned, this was Switzer's last match as a Ranger...Attendance was estimated at ten, consisting mostly of joggers running along the track...Wolfhounds donned yellow pennies as the home side since both sides were wearing black...</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Next Match:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><b>FC77 Rangers v Kells FC</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Sunday, 6 March, 2001</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Liberty High School, Hillsboro, Oregon</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">7:00 p.m. KO</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"Rangers vs. a Celtic replica wearing Kells...</span></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A potential Rose City Old Firm in the making?"</span></i></span></div><!-- Enter the summary here --><!-- And the rest of the post here --><span class="fullpost"></span>iSeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13696788734485864894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21279990006513771.post-70128705877293098252011-03-01T16:16:00.000-08:002011-03-01T16:22:29.211-08:00FC77 Rangers Winter 2011 Official Team Photo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHoz6mY4d7PV84R5P-xyLz1yl6tU-1T9pseoXqAXDDnrF8CRfGz3T-YO8XXIWQue65fn__E1dicXRhqHXnsCSttPu48mrg_UdqKce5kMloHnUVQ3oOBxcb3_gQw1ZfTPQNGIu-YILhLko/s1600/IMG_1659.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 220px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHoz6mY4d7PV84R5P-xyLz1yl6tU-1T9pseoXqAXDDnrF8CRfGz3T-YO8XXIWQue65fn__E1dicXRhqHXnsCSttPu48mrg_UdqKce5kMloHnUVQ3oOBxcb3_gQw1ZfTPQNGIu-YILhLko/s400/IMG_1659.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579270209635979602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>FC77 Rangers - 0ver 30 First Division</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Winter 2011</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Official Team Photo</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Back row, standing:</b> Ron Burden, "Angry" Mike Pullen, Dan Calkins, Mohamed Youssef, Aaron Silverman, Charles Gullung, Dan C.

Both sides came off hard-fought draws in their respective openers ('Gers 2-2 Controlled Chaos and No Subs drawing 0-0 with Symmetry) to form the middle of the table and each were looking to improve on their previous result in order to keep up with league leader Kell's FC, a dominant 5-0 winner last week over Wolfhounds FC. In the end, however, the difference between a single point and nothing at all was reduced to a matter of inches. D'oh!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Starting XI:</b> (Hooray!

'Gers lined up in their preferred black strip--because it is slimming--while No Subs donned their newer maroons. Familiar referee Josh ("Lil' Vin Diesel") presided over the preceedings and got both sides underway at exactly 10:00 a.m. 'Gers got the first menacing look on goal with King blasting a shot past No Subs keeper Ricardo from inside the box, but his strike went just outside the post. No Subs countered with a run of their own that seemed to be offsides, but the sixteen year old linesboy kept his flag down and allowed the striker to dribble around Silverman, who had slid out to deny him, and shoot from about eight yards out...and miss. Wide left by less than 12". </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Harris and Muralt battled fiercely for the central midfield as both teams preferred a long ball attack on the bouncy turf. Switzer, playing deeper than usual as a makeshift holding midfielder, worked well with Calkins to stop up short runs and allow the harder kicks to roll back to Silverman. Another Yellow and Black found King swing left to run onto Ingersoll's pass, hold up, and crack another shot at Ricardo. The keeper bumbled the collection and their central back rushed in to punt it away. It appeared the half would end scoreless until around the 25th minute mark when a No Subs corner kick routine was (in all fairness) nicely executed, with a delayed central runner finding his header into the upper right corner. Another was it or wasn't it? offsides no-call threatened to put the visitors up by two in just three minutes, but Calkins scrambled back just in time and kicked the ball past the far post to keep it a 0-1 match.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Determined to keep pressure on certain members of their suspect back line, 'Gers found their equalizer just five minutes into the second half. After King was fouled just inside the near sideline, maybe twenty-five yards out, Ingersoll dropped the free kick into the mixer around the penalty spot. After clattering off some heads in the box, the ball was cleared out to Pullen, who had pushed forward on the far side. He sent a beauty of a ball over the scrum and onto the forward rushing Youssef, who trapped it with his body and fired from inside the six. Hopelessly beaten, Ricardo could do nothing as 'Ger's striker smashed it to the right. 1-1 with plenty of time to find a go-ahead goal. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">That go-ahead goal seemed to come just ten minutes later, when (Muralt?) loped a ball over back line and found Ingersoll hur-hobbling forward with as much urgency as his bum hamstring could muster. Ingersoll collected just left of the penalty spot and got the slightest chip on it before Ricardo could close the distance. With No Subs' back line screaming for offsides, the ball bounced casually back toward the goal.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Once.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Twice.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Three times, each consecutive bounce getting lower and slower...until on the last bounce it tinked off the inside of the far post and rolled mockingly slow back across the goal line. King and Youssef hurled forward to throw themselves on top of it, but the center back who had been protesting the least and realized the play was still live hurled himself into the goal as the ball continued its slow motion roll toward the netting...only to be violently expelled by a panicked kick from the No Subs defender. Youssef, King, Burden, and Muralt all screamed at the linesboy who was, in all fairness, on the line even with the post and theoretically in a position to see it, but a goal was not to be given. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">No Subs continued to go long ball and found a break with ten minutes to play when a rush and a push and the ball that was theirs found the feet of an isolated striker. Silverman valiantly tried to wipe him out, but he was able to dish to the right. Unopposed, he almost put it over the bar, but still found net for the game winner. 'Gers bravely fought on and a late corner offered one final chance to equalize. Ingersoll roared for everyone to come forward<i> [Editor's note: Next time we are down by one late in the game and have a corner kick, we should pull Silverman forward, too. Losing by two gets you as many points as losing by one and it would so cool for him to score.]</i> Burden's corner streaked along the end line, bounced off a No Subs defender, might have bounced off the keeper or the post, and was haphazardly cleared through a mass of players to the top of the box. Eventually it rolled out to Payne, still forward to support the set play, and he dropped another pass into the mixer where several shots blasted off, well, everybody until eventually it was cleared out for good. Time soon ran out, leaving the good guys on the short end of the scoreline...by about less than the width of a goal line.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">All in all, it was still a spirited performance. New player Dan Harris worked very well in the central midfield on his debut and props to Switzer for playing holding midfielder as is not the custom of his people. Next week against Wolfhounds FC, we should have a full complement to play--including people at their regular positions--and I am optimistic that our fortunes may turn around for the better.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Match notes</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">...Attendance was estimated at 12, including Roy Payne's daughter as unofficial Junior Ranger and a bunch of random people running around the track...King, Muralt, and Youssef are currently tied for the Golden Boot, if that was an award we actually gave out...Team picture day was postponed because there was not eleven players to take a picture.

Crisp, clear skies greeted the squads at Dick Baker Stadium in Gladstone for the 10:00 a.m. kick-off--because ironically, winter outdoor soccer weather is usually better than half of the fall matches--and the Yellow and Black got off to an impressive start, netting twice before twenty minutes had ticked off the clock. Chaos battled back to equalize with ten minutes left in the match, but Rangers held on to earn a point and announce they were no longer going to be the friggin' Over-30 doormat anymore...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; "><b>Starting X (Yes, X.

Calkins and Payne--ably filling in as substitute goalkeeper while Silverman made his way to the pitch (he even has his own goalie shirt!)--marshaled the back line impressively, keeping the Chaos strikers at bay and forcing a lot of long passes that Payne was able to easily collect. Playing a modified 3-5-1 until friend of Rangers and former player Brian Gaffney just happened to show up early for the Newcastle-Old Nicks tilt at 11:10, he quickly took up a holding midfielder role and allowed King to push forward into his own preferred striker position. The ball rattled around the stacked midfields for most of the opening ten minutes until long distance sniper Muralt took a free kick from approximately 25 yards out and dropped a tricky bouncing ball through the mixer and into the back of the net. Youssef's whoop of victory signaled the first score and buoyed the collective spirits of the squad.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; ">King doubled up the scoreline a scant eight minutes later when a break through the middle found (Switzer?) lob another bouncing ball back through the box. King hit the pass sweetly on the volley with his left foot and completely beat the keeper as 'Gers surged forward through the back line, making it 2-0. 'Gers finished out the half with comfortable play. New player Paddy Schutte did a great job battling on the left side and didn't hesitate to drop back on defense to help Ingersoll when the Chaos outside players tried to run the flank. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Payne moved to his more typical role as left back for the second half, allowing Silverman to mind the sticks. Chaos started to find their rhythm and more of the play, getting more mileage out of long balls and testing our defense. Chaos scored ten minutes into the second half off a well-executed corner kick play and equalized in the 50th [Note: winter season plays only 30 minute halves] when a sideline play appeared to be offsides, momentarily stymying the team when the linesmen's flag refused to go up. The resulting scrum in front of the goal involved several deflections and haphazard bounces before the ball stopped in the net. While 'Gers played demanded to know why the play wasn't offsides, match official Padman explained that the player offsides was not a part of the play and that the pass was made by a deep running midfielder who was onside, thus his eligibility. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Still sucked, but at least there was a reason.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Muralt fired a few more middle and long distance shots to find a winner and Chaos responded with two hero runs that looked very threatening. Silverman snuffed both forays out with monster legitimate slide tackles--not a fun thing on artificial turf--at the edge of the box and, in the second instance, a good distance outside the box. Both attacks ended with a striker sprawled on the carpet and somebody griping about a card that was not coming.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">While most would probably see the draw as a bit of a letdown, a point against a team that beat us 3-2 last season and 6-3 in a fall 2008 championship isn't a bad result...especially since we've only had one team scrimmage and started with only ten guys.

Rather than freak out and uncontrollably scream excited profanities ala Tourette's Syndrome as had been his custom, Sean turned and displayed this symbolic hand gesture:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoc3W60979vnZp7D68jJSpZtl80zZrQ3Zk-9R9hcvuXC2QwdzzzIgbPyWlefj_O522FKkXfq9ss8X8uOIz6WyJJ7PNEcnbHFggg3UKjsqwb4B8-MibqQSoYLrg3O_AYzriY0VKC4MOcbQ/s320/Photo+on+2011-02-07+at+10.36.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571022073453262466" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Exhibit A: Symbolic Hand Gesture</span></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Some might say that this is nothing more than Nicolas Anelka's "flying bird" goal celebration, but those people would be incorrect.

The outstretched fingers take on the form of outstretched wings, which can refer to soaring/taking flight/victory or perhaps obtusely refer to the mythological phoenix rising from the ashes of defeat. It should be also noted that the hand gesture does not literally mimic the star in the middle of the crest, because it is implied that after you score, YOU are the star of the moment.

The match had originally been scheduled for PSU's Community Recreation Field for a 12:30 kick-off, but unscheduled turf maintenance sent the two teams to nearby Duniway Park for a good-spirited and lively seventy minute scrimmage. (Did you know that turf needs to be mowed or rolled? It's true, apparently.) Several new squad players debuted with Rangers, including Dan Harris, Paddy Schutte, and Charles Gullung and all made a positive impact on the afternoon. The Yellow and Black side also included guest players Tyler Shook and Jason Carney.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Starting XI:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Payne, goalkeeper</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">"John" from Wolfhounds - Shook - Pullen, fullbacks</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Snyder, holding midfielder</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Schutte - Harris - Carney - Gullung, midfielders</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">King - Youssef, strikers</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Reserves:</b> Ingersoll, Burden, Calkins</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Not available:</b> Switzer, Bauman, Muralt, Silverman</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">After a thirty minute delay to get to Duniway Park and stretch out, the match kicked off at approximately 1:00 p.m. with 'Gers in their typical 3-1-4-2 formation. Payne graciously stood between the posts as keeper and proved his keeper skills are not limited to the indoor style of play. Relatively unbothered for most of the match, Payne was only forced into a few collections and a couple of punches on corners. The back line proved stalwart and maintained good control of the ball when it got into our half. The Wolfhounds keeper pulled a hip muscle early on in the match and was soon substituted, forcing the new arrival to face a series of wing-inspired breakaways and touchline sprints down both flanks. Harris led a calvary charge ten minutes into the match that netted--if there had been nets, obviously--the first goal with Youssef (I believe) finishing a similar sequence shortly thereafter with a tap-in. Harris may have had a second, also (sorry Dan, I can't remember) and Snyder added the fourth in the second half after a quick throw-in from Shook on the near sideline.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">More important than the goals, however, was the relatively good movement and passing the team exhibited for their first practice together.

While that was in part due to a disproportionately high number of losses and a disproportionately low number of regular players, that is not an excuse for keeping our loyal handful of followers up to date on the latest and the greatest about the Yellow and Black. A lack of updates is inexcusable and not in keeping with one of the many unofficial Ranger mottos, particularly "Never Give Up." As such, swift and ruthless administrative action has been taken to ensure that sure a lapse in reporting never happens again. As of this morning, the squad issued the following statement:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"Due to a lack of the usual high quality--or, well, almost ANY posts--for the previous fall 2010 campaign, FC77 Rangers has announced that effective immediately, Sean Ingersoll has been sacked as manager. We thank Sean for his four years of faithful service, which saw the team go from 0-10 prior to his arrival to winning one division championship in 2008, two runners-up (also in 2008 and 2009), and getting royally shafted by finishing tied for top points in spring 2010 but not being allowed to play in the championship. However, an 0-8-2 season is not acceptable to a recreational football team of Rangers' stature and so a change must be made. I mean, we're not like Arsenal that keeps their manager on forever without ever winning anything! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"However, a change must be made and so it is with a heavy heart that we have released Sean from his contract. We realize that with the Winter season approaching February 13th, a quick replacement must be made in order to ensure a smooth transition and to keep Sven Goran Eriksson from getting too interested in the position. As such, after an exhaustive search process, we are proud to announce that a worthy successor has been tapped and has taken over the squad effective immediately. He is familiar with the squad's proud history and will help us move forward in a positive, ass-kicking direction.

Look for regular updates on this site regarding match results, new personnel, merchandise that we may or may not ever produce, etc. I'm even toying with the idea of introducing some fun new features to the site like "Know Your Rangers" and "The Full 95". "Know Your Rangers" will include random questions about the team, our history, and our general awesomeness. "The Full 95" is a total copy of the Portland Timbers segment where they take a player and ask a series of random rapid-fire questions while a stopwatch ticks in the background, only instead of 90 seconds we'll go for 95 because ladies, FC77 Rangers can go just a little longer than everybody else.

Seanny was not feeling the muse this week after the worst Rangers loss since he took over management of the team. Plus, I got a sweet new 50" Panasonic flat screen television and Blu-Ray last weekend and several times when I thought to myself, "Sean"--because I do refer to myself in the third person when I talk to myself--"you should really put up a characteristically awesome match summary. Sure, the result didn't go your way, but 'Gers' global audience in Scotland and the Netherlands is dying to know how Match Day One went for 'The Greatest Over Thirty Recreational Football Club in the Greater Portland, Oregon Area'." Then I would look over at the Panasonic proudly mounted on the wall and go, "Or, I could watch 'Saving Private Ryan' again." And inevitably, Adrian Carpazo would get shot by a sniper. In glorious digital sound. This was especially satisfying since a certain linesman I had suspended two years ago for being a dick finally resurfaced at the Montessori Earth School and since he looked like Vin Diesel, well...</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I'm sorry.

Oh yeah, we had three killer goals. Muralt dropped a lovely thirty-five yarder over the keeper and under the crossbar to get the scoring started in the dying moments of the first half. This rallied the team before half-time and with a tactical adjustment (from a 3-1-4-2 to a 3-1-5-1-ish) we looked pretty sharp. Switzer muscled himself onto the scorer's sheet with a hold-up ball that he turned and fired into the Division Street End goal. Then King scored ten minutes later after Ingersoll took a sweet lay-off from Burden, turned the Kickers' right fullback even as his shirt was being pulled the entire time, then flashed a right footed pass to the striker for his inaugural goal of Fall 2010. Fine scores, all.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Silverman made about twenty saves on the day and the defense was always scrapping for balls and to disrupt Salem's play. The score line is harsh, but the opposition was definitely on their game and looked as strong as they did last fall. Perhaps this year will be a "rebuilding" year for us.

There is a section in the Rules of Competition that talks about forfeits and their effect on final standings. I’m sure many/most of you have looked this up already. It reads:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(54, 95, 145); font-style: italic; ">“Wins by forfeit. Teams will not receive credit for any "goals scored" in a forfeit win. No team may break a tie in the standings if they have a better goal differential caused by a regulation win with "goals scored" against an opponent, while the team they are tied with was required to take a forfeit win against the same opponent, with no credit for "goals scored".”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I read this a couple of different ways, so I emailed Terry and asked him to give me a ruling as to what this means. Here is his response:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-style: italic; ">“Sean I am sorry your team did not make the final it was very close between the three teams. I want you to know that the rules state that if teams are tied at the end of the season and a team won by forfeit and received no goal differential then the other teas/teams receive no goal differential. I did go over the scores and this is what I came up with.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Game 3220 FC Hut 4 – 2 Hawks</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Game 3254 FC Hut 1 – 0 FC PFA Less 3 gives them a +13 goal differential</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Game 3205 Lagers 2 – 0 Hawks</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Game 3233 Lagers 3 – 0 FC PFA Less 5 gives them a +14 goal differential</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">I know if you could have won these two games 3 – 0 then you would have had 6 more goals and you would have had a +18.”</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, his calculations matched the numbers I also determined. Rangers final goal differential at the end of the season was +12. I am very sorry, guys, but we missed the championship by a single goal.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Hut and Lagers do get promoted to the O-30 First. I believe FC Rogue and Goodfoot FC get the drop. I know I’m supposed to end on a big “Rah! Rah! Rah!” note, but I’m too bummed right now and I just don’t have it in me. Again, I’m really sorry. You guys <u>totally</u> deserved the post-season for the fourth time in five seasons.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Sean</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Rangers...Fall season kicks off in just over two months. </b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>We have something to prove.</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>We have some hardware to reclaim.</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>And we have some serious ass to kick.</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>See you in September.</b></span></p></span><!-- Enter the summary here --><!-- And the rest of the post here --><span class="fullpost"></span>iSeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13696788734485864894noreply@blogger.com1
