First-ballot MF Hall of Famer.

Is a ballot needed?

Probably the best match I've ever been to. 90 minutes of WTF defense, but an amazing game. Amazing.

And if people wonder why some old greybeards are salty to the new kids....I had to spend 10 years with people like Max Bretos & Christopher Sullivan calling games in Standard Def. Fuck you lucky bastards and your 1080p HD production values and EPL trained announcers. Dicks don't know how lucky you are. 

 

:)

God, I love Bretos and Sullivan...

 

...now that I don't have to hear them every week.

 

PS. Bretos had possibly the worst trademark goal call in all of history. He would yell out "YEEEEEEEEAAA" so you though he was saying "yeah" but then add an "S" at the end for no reason, so he kept yelling "YEEEEEEAASS"

Two unanswered goals, ANSWERED BY TWO UNANSWERED GOALS!!!!!

 

I was like 14 when that happened and even then remember thinking 'what a fucking idiot'

And a picture of the Red SMF Banner as referenced above. It's what you'd call an ashcan copy.

I miss that (and the very large NYC Firm banner) banner... Can someone bring those back for old school's sake?

I miss most of the old banners.  But IIRC we don't even have most of those banners anymore..
