Some of you might have seen this already, but 2009 East Bay girls soccer Player of the Year Carlee Payne, who is now at BYU, was shown in an odd Sports Center highlight last night.
She scored the winning goal in BYU’s 1-0 win over New Mexico … and was on the receiving end of what we’ll call “physical play” from a UNM defender. It’s worth a watch.
Payne leads BYU with 13 goals and 10 assists this year as the Cougars have gone 17-2-2. She was named Mountain West Freshman of the Year.

Wow, that really is “physical play”. BYU needs a goon to go in and teach that gal a lesson. I would think th NCAA has to take some action with that, especially the yank of the pony tail that floored the BYU player.

Good news!
“Her violent actions have caused her suspension indefinitely from New Mexico Lobo women’s soccer team. She is not allowed to play any games or even practice with the team. “

This week has had a lot of topics that should provoke a lot of thought on our part. I can’t help but think is she suspended because of her actions or because it was shown on sports center. I find it hard to believe this was her 1st exhibition of “rough Play” the officials didn’t even card her for it. I believe Sporstcenter got her suspended. I refuse to believe they would admit they weren’t doing their jobs by saying they didn’t see it. Her coaching staff who should be watching the individual match ups did not pull her from the competition. Players only do what we as coaches allow them to do. I don’t care if it’s T.O., LeGarrette Blunt, or in this case Elizabeth Lambert. If your going to punish the player you should punish the coaching staff that stood by and did nothing.

I agree with Wannaknow… player irresponsiblity, dirty play and unsportsmanlike conduct needs to be better managed by coaches and school administration.
Example: According to my son, and confirmed by another parent, last night, Washington HS freshman football coaches stood by as there players warmed up on Logan’s side of the field, later stomped on the Colt in the middle of the field, and chanted something to the effect of “this is our house” with a curse word in the chant. Logan went ahead and handled them anyways, but I mean, come on, what kind of lessons are being taught to these freshmen.

I think you need to listen to the words of the chant. They were saying “who runs this ship” which has been said by WHS players for many years. It was Ray Lewis’s pregame chant to his players when he was on the Ravens. P.S. WHS was on their own side of the field when they were doing their chant. Isn’t it enough that you won the game? and took it to them the whole time? You already had 60 something points! Why start something when you don’t know what you were talking about and you were not even there. I witnessed the whole thing and it did not quite happen that way!

4by4, are you suggesting that bouncing up and down on the colt in the middle of James Logan’s field chanting “who runs this ship” is perfectly acceptable and not a demonstration of bad sportsmanship? if not unsportsmanlike it is certainly in very poor taste. As for the warming up, the kicker was kicking on the other side of the 50 (Logan’s 40) and the coach was asked to move him to his side and the coach apparently refused and said “we’re warming up here.” Also a demonstration of bad sportsmanship.
It is good to hear that they were not swearing… however, I think you can understand the misunderstanding.

I’ve heard Washington chant that many times … the first couple times you hear it, “ship” definitely sounds like something else.
November 6th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
yes it it is “ship”…witht he kicker on other side of field that is regularly done in many pregames if you have a kicker that reaches the endzone…if you kick off from your own 40 back up to yards to be at 50…u will be kicking them into the track every kick…if you watch the ebal games where there are good kickers on everyteam they all warm up this way…
but could have been handled better by the coaching staff on both sides probably…
from what i heard there was a lot going on from both sides in that game…including onside kicks when up by 40 and throat gashing gestures being made…but overall it was a hyped up game for the championship and probably got a little out of control…im sure the jv/var will not have same issues…i also believe both staffs have a tremendous amount of respect for one another, i mean to be playing for a league or co league championship at every single level is positive for both programs…so i wouldn’t make more out of it then what really happened…looks like logan is up 1-0…

Yikes! What a goon! Holy smokes, that’s bad… I’ve seen some cheap shots but NOTHING like that. That’s like what, 5 incidents? I’m surprised she didn’t take a swing at Carlee for pointing at the scoreboard
November 6th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Lambert… Lambert… HOLY CRIKEES, It’s JACK LAMBERT IN DRAG!!! The bad news is that while she’s removed from the women’s soccer team, she’s starting at Middle Linebacker on Saturday.

I just think sportsman ship needs to be addressed to both sides in the WHS incident, the coaches should know there should be no warming up from 40 to 40. This is to keep the teams separate. And coming from someone who used to employ these kind of tactics there is a purpose for inciting the opposition like that. Many just do it as part of their school’s nomenclature, however it is documented that many people in physical sport like boxing, martial arts, and football are more prone to make mistakes when the anger or embarrassment emotion is felt. At worst case the coach new exactly what he was doing and should be reprimanded. Best case his ignorant to the history of the things he does and should be reprimanded. After all this is not the NFL and those are children playing for nothing more than the love of then game and perhaps the opportunity to go to the next level. The coach is supposed to be the role model REMEMBER!

I see the issue here as the “where-the-heaven-are-you?!” referees and assistant refs (linesmen) who should be watching for this kind of bull. Yeah, sure, I really want to play “sock-her” when I see that junk. Unless I am a thug who enjoys unpermitted violence, cheap shots, and lack of enforcement of the rules, get me away from there. They should fire and dismiss the whole ref crew there, ruining the game that should be rough, sure, but not dirty and injury-producing! Those takedowns are unbelievable – GET the heaven OUT of “the World’s game” you zebra-headed duds.

I just want to say a few words about an incident last weekend at a liberty high school fall baseball game. I witnessed a african american adult male enter the liberty dugout and instigate a fight with a coach. I later found out after asking a few questions who the man was. His name was Mr. Rod Ingram and he is an independent hitting coach in the area. I will say this
to any parents who use Mr.Ingram to teachn your kids that you need your head examined. Mr. Ingram’s behavior was disgusting and he had no place on that field or in that teams dugout. The good news is that
he was arrested and taken away in habdcuffs.Parents think twice about who you want to be an influence on your child.

It’s easy to sight almost daily examples of poor coaching, sportsmanship etc. I 100% agree that parents must choose who influence our kids. But relating to this topic, the officials in that soccer game ought to lose their jobs if they missed ALL those calls, what were they watching? Parents count on officials too to safe guard our kids. Also, I totally agree about the coaching allowing that type of play. It’s obvious on the competative soccer team I follow which girls are likely to have caused a player to be on the ground and which it was likely an accident. For sure with those highlights people know exactly what that girl does and look the other way. What a thug. She will get what she deserves for her play by this film following her for the rest of her life but what about the adults that allowed this behavior all through her soccer career? They get away unscathed but it was up to them to teach her sportsmanship and they sacrificed that for a win. Shame on everybody.

Sportsfan, I agree, it’s been ongoing for too long to get it to that point. Sort of my point, too, the refs are supposed to be the regulator but all too often the play gets out of hand because they are oblivious. Some do it for beer money, some never played enough to know how to do a real game – but many think cheap rough shots are a part of the game, and we really really need to get rid of those types at the very least.

This has certainly made a stir on the internet (after all, In writing from Denmark, where this video was also shown). I do believe the Lobosplayer (Elizabeth Lambert) should be penalized, but a 2-3 game suspension would have been more apropriate that what appears to be an emotionally caused “indefinate suspension”. True, she showed unsportsmanlike conduct, but nobody was injured, so lets not loose our head.
Lets be fair here. Only because this was a female player, has this attracted such interrest. Had this been a male player, he would have been known as “a hard player” and carried that rep as a badge of honour (Think about Roy Keane, Vinnie Jones, Marco Materazzi, Pedrag Mihailovic, Claudio Gentile, Gennaro Gattuso, Rigobert Song,Jaap Stam and many others). The referee of the game has a large responsebilety in not calming down Lambert who was obviously to fired up over what was an important game, and the fact she played directly against a player (Carlee Payne) whom she had a hard time handling.

I bet if it was a make athlete people would not make such a big deal out of this. Yeah its wrong but be equal people. She is being punished and critcizied more than Legarrette Blount was against boise st.
