Well, unless you mean dodging obscenit...Never! ;-)<br /><br />Well, unless you mean dodging obscenities from an opponent's parents when I marked their precious little over-rated snot of a winger out of the game...<br /><br />In all seriousness, I was pretty lucky to play for some pretty strong club and school teams, and I don't remember being on the wrong end of too many shellackings, particularly ones where I made crucial mistakes. <br /><br />But to the point of the piece above, one of my strongest memories of club ball was a state semifinal, played in heavy wind and rain, where our keeper misjudged a hoofed clearance. Wasn't even a shot, but the damn ball flew right over his retreat and desperate dive. Right into the net. Lost 1-0. <br /><br />Crap. Now I'm pissed off about that game all over again. 20+ years later.
