A cool moment from a guy who has taken a lot of stick from us on the boards. (deservedly or not)
Of all the moments to come out of yesterday, that might have been the nicest story; team whipping boy scores a goal & appreciates the fans that kill him from time to time.

Thanks to B Lewis for uncovering it by asking him post-game what he was doing in the celebration.

Can he travel to Canada this year?
I don't think he traveled with the team to Mexico during preseason so I think he still can't leave the country.

I had no idea!Thanks to B Lewis for uncovering it by asking him post-game what he was doing in the celebration.
On the video, you can hear the SW launch into "Ballouchy"!
Now, we'll have to change the lyrics to Wipeout: "Ballouchy ain't nuthin' ta fuk wit"!
We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

+1.Not only was that awesome, but I loved the fact that he celebrated the goal with all the other bench players. Hug pile on hug with them. My favorite moment from yesterday.
I've talked so much shit about him, but was happy for him yesterday and wished he got that header that was close. Good for him.

If he scored on that header, I think the arena would have exploded.

The only reason he gets so much negative shit said about him is purely the result of ineffectiveness. It's very clear that he cares and is trying and wants to succeed and he seems like a great guy off the field. I'd love to be able to love him. I think (hope) Backe is finally realizing his limitations - he's not a holding mid and he's not a #10 - and is putting him in spots where he can succeed off the bench.

Wipeout...a proud ESC creation!
...until Seattle or Kansas City steals it, of course.

Some of this is also brought on by Backe, unintentionally. There always seem to be games where were 0-0 or 1-1 and really need a goal, or losing 1-0 and really need to tie, and we wait & wait & wait for a sub, and finally we get one in the 87th or 88th minute.....and it's Ballouchy. That's where the frustration turns to hate, and he gets crapped on somewhat unfairly, regardless of how he's playing. If we changed the context of his appearances, it would be a somewhat different scenario. It also wouldn't hurt if he wasn't seen somewhat of the pet of an unloved coach, but, I think 1/3rd or more of the crap Ballouchy gets is because of how he is used, and the rest is because when he does play, he seems not to play all that well. Lately he's been better, however, so let's hope that continues.
