I thought for sure I'd find a 20 page string on soccer's newest bad girl.

The only comment I have is this clown of an official should have been suspended as well, for him not to see, or even worse, act on her numerous infractions is inexcusable! this should have been a red card situation early on, his inaction may easily have gotten someone seriously injured.

There was a discussion, although not all that deep, on Bernie's forum. It just didn't mention Lambert's name in the title.

I could see her getting a little ticked and elbowing back after the BYU girl elbowed her in the stomach at the start of the video. But after that, it was ridiculous. The ponytail tug was the most obvious of the sequence, but on the one tackle from behind, it was just lucky that she didn't seriously injure the other player.

I'm just wondering where the ref and where the New Mexico coach was. The ref can't watch everything, but this was so painfully obvious, you would have had to be blind to miss most of those incidents. And the coach should have gotten her out of there when she saw Lambert had lost her cool. She should have gotten her out of the game and told her to cool off because she was ultimately going to hurt the team. If the coach had done that, maybe Ms. Lambert would have settled down and still have some semblence of a college soccer career.

That being said, we only saw one minute of footage from a 90 minute game, so we don't know what all else went on in that game. But most of what I saw was pretty bad and the player, the coach, and the refs are all to blame.

It seems to me that one of the assistant refs should have surely made a call here. They have the ability to notify the center ref at this level, correct? And one of them should have been essentially lined up near Lambert the whole game, since she would often be the last defender.

But for the record, it appears that very few in that thread have ever played soccer before and even fewer understand the Laws of the Game.

An ode school coach would have dealt with it much differently. He would have rotated players through the opposite position and had everyone take one good crack at her. Sometimes you have to protect your players when the referees don't.

That's a great idea. When my daughter was playing U12 travel soccer out here in So Cal, she had a little trick in her bag that worked pretty well. If she encountered a particularly nasty player, she would walk up to the girl, get real close, and say with a pretty good Aussie accent: "A Dingo Ate My Baby." It worked like a charm every time. The target player would slowly back away, and never come near my darling daughter again.

LOL! She's AWESOME! The 2 BYU chicks are even hotter, Shumway and the blonde.

Guys all over the country agree with us since guys at sports radio stations have said how they want to date her! Laughing

I love it. Head games were so much fun. I played stopper in college and our sweeper had the most devastating slide tackle I have ever seen in my life. (This was before tackles from behind were illegal, provided you contacted ball first of course.) When he struck the ball, it travelled at least 50 yards while the player went flying through the air in the opposite direction.

I had this little thing where I would warm up to the striker (4-3-3 was prevalent)and be friendly. Then I would warn him that the sweeper was a menace, had already knocked a bunch of guys out for the season. He should be kicked out but his dad has connections, etc. and he should just let me win the ball because it wasn't worth it. Funny thing was that during an early year game I had to cover an All-American. Guy was talking smack to me the whole time. He just zips by me as I lunged unellegantly and stepped on me just for fun when I ended up sprawled on the ground. I didn't see it. I only heard it. It was a clean tackle and Mr. All-American was done for.

To this day nothing excites me like a well-executed cross tackle. The sound of the tackle, the flying body, and the broken spirit. It's a dying art. And nothing intimidates a bully more than the rattle of feeling like they just ran into a wall.
