Controversial handball call sends RailHawks home with 1-0 victory

“I thought the penalty was ludicrous, [Sias] must have the best reflexes of any player I’ve ever known to deliberately hand ball it from a yard away.” ” - Adrian Heath



That pretty sums up my disappointing & rainy day at Nelson Field. But now we need to get back up and be prepared to play against Puerto Rico (again) on Friday.

Meanwhile here is my dedication to the referee who awarded the PK and the game to Carolina.

Guess Which MLS Coach Is On The Hot Seat?

According to the Goal.com editors, most of the them said exactly what most of us said all along on which MLS coach is on the hot seat. But the Hunts Sports Group (or should I say Hunts Entertainment Group) could care less or won't even listen to what their fans are saying.

Weekly radio show starring Coach Heath

Just a quick reminder that every Wednesdays at 6:30pm CST, there will be a weekly half-hour radio show called the Austin Aztex's Coach's Show. The call-in show stars Aztex head coach Adrian Heath and it's host Ahmad Brooks. You can listen to the show on AM 1300 The Zone. please tune in the the 1300 and have a call to the show.

Ugly Podcast

I like to give a shout out to my friends on the Winning Ugly Radio Show on the Champions Soccer Radio Network. Winning Ugly is the Around The Horn of soccer but a million times better than that annoying ESPN show. The show is basically MLS + European Soccer + Pop Culture = fun & laughs. The show's host usually ask the questions to the panelists and judges their answers based on points to determine this weeks champions. Here are the lineups:

Scott Bornstein

Sandra Franz

Zach Woosley

Erik Young

Hank Alexandre

Jason Davis

MJ in Pitt

Bobby Rhine

So please turn in the show in which is available on podcast, including this week's Episode 27 of the show in which the lovely, smart and talented Sandra Franz is the host of this show.

However there's one subject matter that has to be address. Weeks ago the Winning Ugly panel wanted Drew Carey to be a guest of this show. So they promoted heavy for their Winning Ugly campaign:




Then this past week the FCD marketers launch their own promotion to the game against Seattle Sounders.



How dare them that they stole Winning Ugly's intellectually property and idea. That's copyright infringement. What's even worse is that the promotion sounds more like Seattle Sounders' front office promotion than FCD's. Unbelievable.

The FCD front office will be hearing from the Winning Ugly's lawyer Jackie Chiles soon:



"That FCD Drew Carey promotion is deplorable, unfathomable, improbable. It's an infringement on my client's Winning Ugly rights. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous."

Stay turn for more info on this saga.

The Montreal Impact vs Austin Aztex Preview

The Austin Aztex will play their first road game of the season this Sunday afternoon as they take on the Montreal Impact. The game will start at 2:45 pm CST and will be on USL Live. Chantico's Army members and Austin Aztex fans will gather at Cuatro's (24th and San Gabriel) for the Austin Aztex's watching event. So please join us for the game.

The Impact are coming off a 1-0 loss to Toronto in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship and that result lead to the firing of John Limniatis the next day. Considering the form they have been during the early part of the USL-1 season (one point in four matches) and the result of the CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals exit in the hands of Santos Laguna you can see why the front office let him go. They hired Marc Dos Santos as their interim head coach of the team. But there is no rest for him and the Impact as they take on the Charleston Battery tomorrow evening at 6:45 pm CST and then 2 days later against the Aztex.

Meanwhile the Aztex (6 points in four matches) need to get their 2nd win of the season. One of the issue that they need to prepare for Montreal is to not to start slow and conceded the goals early in the games that the Aztex have to come back to find the equalizer. That resulted in the 3 draws that the Aztex produced and you can not afford to drop points at home. Plus they need to get their players fit as there are rumors that some players won't make the trip due injuries. So their roster depth is put to the test. So lets hope they can get a massive 3 points on the road against a struggling (hopefully still after Friday's match) Montreal team.

In other Aztex news, the Austin Aztex U-23 PDL team won their first match of the season (4 points in 3 matches) in Waco as they defeated the DFW Tornados 4-2. You can check out the match report from Chantico Army member that made the trip to Waco yesterday.



What a bunch of lovely fellas. ;-)
