OK, we pulled out a 1-0 victory against a 12 man Chivas squad and other than the horrible officating by Salazar, two things stuck out about the match.

First RSL dominated the play and possession and worked incredibly hard, and two if the RCB or FCB had pulled what the Chivas fans did tonight we would all be banned from the stadium and probably in jail.

Ask yourself why that wasn't the case tonight, there should have been a massive removal of the Chivas fans. I have to also tell you that I found it very funny that they all wore chivas gear, but it wasn't Chivas USA stuff, it was all supporting a team in Mexico. How desperate do you have to be to cheer for a team that you won't even wear the gear of? Sad.

Anyhow I have some great pictures from tonight that I will put up on the http://connect.roguecavaliers.com/ site and up on my blog http://blog.roguecavaliers.com/ some time tomorrow morning. I have to watch the match again to do my blog post.

Since I was not at the game could someone explain what the chivas did?

well firsty sadly they were louder then us durring the first half of the game. ;( cry
what the thing they did wrong was they brought garbage bags full of some kind of confetti and dumped them all over the people in the lower bowl seats.
Then they started lighting roman candle and colored smoke bombs in the stands and again droping them onto the people in the lower bowl seats.
as far as i could tell i only saw one of the people up there reprimanded by the security, the rest they let continue to do it.
oddly enough they started doing it at what looked like in celebration after the RSL goal and then started waving a few RSL flags aswell..... odd

but they waved our flags upside down...a sign of disrespect...

ahh didnt catch the upside down part, i was tryin to ignore them adn watch the game!!! silly me

hey did anyone catch a pic of mathis tossing that chivas defender before yura got called for that BS foul infront of the goal?

Besides the fact the chivas fans were in the wrong team shirts...I have to give them some points for being there and being the loudest fans in the stadium. Not sure what was up with the group, but we sounded DEAD until the goal! The whole south end sounded asleep.
The smoke bombs, confetti, and roman candles were ace! Would love to see more of that; but I agree with Denz. I am sure the RCB/FCB would be banned from the stadium for such antics. I was told to put my horn away a few minutes before the Chivas fans went at it.
Ohhh..and a pathetic turn out for the first playoff match. Not as bad as the Colorado fans last weekend..but it was sad to see so many empty seats for the first ever playoff match. Wonder if raising the ticket prices had to do with that????

Nice Scarf!



Who tossed that at him?
