RSL's worst: BTC's crazy boycott of RSL

In my opinion, Atiba Harris and Scott Garlick are the worst players RSL have had and will have in their entire existance.

That second goal LAG got vs. us has proven one thing: Garlick is the worst goalkeeper RSL has ever had. Garlick gives away horrible goals every single game, Nolly should play every minute of every game, every season of RSL's existance (which won't be too much longer if we keep playing like this).

'Tiba is horrible. He either plays to the same level as Kenny Cutler, or he is the worst player on the field. Neither of those types of play are very good. 'Tiba falls down every time he is touched, he gets a probable average of one yellow per game. Ridiculous. 'Tiba, you may be able to make the Rapids reserve squad, as your first touch is the worst in the entire league.

Ellinger, you are gone, or at least you should be. Same to you, Scott Garlick and Atiba. If ellinger is still the head coach of this team by the end of the season, I am moving to Toronto to start a clean slate. My fandom for RSL will be hidden away, and never ever seen again.

This could sound harsh, but with some observations, I'm sure every RSL fan will somehow agree with me.

ELLINGER OUT, GARLICK OUT, TIBA OUT!

NOLLY IN, WATSON IN, ANY OTHER COACH IN!

As the Galaxy commentators just barely put it, "The Western Conference can just take RSL out of the picture." And I agree with them.

Ellinger is a mystery to me. He plays Nelly-Pope-Torres-Novak. Nelly essentially let in the first goal, Pope had shaky moments, Torres just played horrible today, Novak impressed (he is pretty much the only one on RSL right now). In the midfield we have Talley and Sequeira in the Defensive end, why play a 4-4-2 with two D-Mids? Klein and Ballouchy playing out wide. Klein finally plays well, and E subs him (lucky for E, Andy played okay)! Ballouchy is not a L-Mid. Up top we start my personal favorite player, Atiba Harris, and a guy who is a good goal scorer who is old and, sorry to say, has lost his touch (Kreis). Where is Watson, the excellent spark of energy we saw last year? Where is Jeff, our real goalscorer? How is it that the Rapids (a team that you look at their roster and say who is that?) can stay alive in this league? Because their coach is not blind! Clavijo is able to actually watch the game and make subs that make sense, not leave the crowds with confusion. Clavijo starts his best players, not his favorites (Cunningham did start last year, did he not?) That is how teams win.

Checketts, drop Ellinger, and give your fans something to cheer for.

John Ellinger has more job security now than Lavell Edwards did on Jan 2, 1985.

Checketts needs Ellinger to make RSL unwatchable.

That way, if the stadium infrastructure funding doesn't come through, attendence will sink down to Rapids/Wizards levels and Checketts can justify moving the team to southern New Jersey.

Ellinger will be gone as soon as stadium infrastructure funding comes through or when the move to Rowan is announced.

do you think if we all show up with gigantic signs stating "Fire Ellinger" at the next game, we'd be noticed? doubt it! since the cries for watson and no attiba aren't getting anywhere

Could someone justify why Ellinger is still Coach?

This is such a ****ty product. How would you market this team? We already hold all the records for being the most pathetic MLS team in history.

Come watch real salt lake......we just might connect 2 passes?
Come watch real salt lake......there are hot girls at the game?
Come watch real salt lake......2 players played in the world cup for the 2 crappiest teams in the World Cup...

How can you convince the council to vote for a stadium?

I honestly could care less if I ever go to a game again....

Thanks Ellinger
and Thanks Front Office for keeping him as the coach....

Garlick is a clown.
Harris is a clown.
Klein is a clown.
Pope is a clown.
Sequiera is a clown.
Ellinger is king of the clowns.
I'm an idiot for buying season tickets. Won't happen again unless Ellinger is gone.

I think Kreis needs to go with Ellinger............. who runs the team anyways. And why the hell is Ellinger still here? I mean really? Is there something going on we dont know about? He should have been gone a long time ago if not at the end of last season. Good guy or not, he has been a sheit coach for us. Do we really need to stoop to the tactics the Galaxy used to get rid of Sampson? make big signs and cheer so loud Get Rid of Ellinger that Ogden can hear us? we should let him go with a grain of dignity left. Come on Checkets be a man and do it. I do however like the conspiracy theory (its always a conspiracy after all) that they want the team to loose so attendence goes down and they can move.

Fuera Ellinger and Kreis. But Klien on the bench for a while and dang it...play the reserve team. At least they play like a team.... Oh but leave Novak, Torres and Ballouchy in.... they rock.

I miss DJ. hahaha Now its getting serious.


WE ARE :banpoop:

I've been thinking/saying this for a couple of weeks now.

Great minds think alike.

Apparently the only way the FO is going to fire Ellinger is if the fans quit coming to the games. I hate to say it, but they need to be hit in their pocketbooks.
