Merry Christmas everyone! Santa ...put on your pants! 

Are you BLIND, ref???

No, not exactly. Here's why we refs always get the call wrong...

The UEFA has some new guidelines to help refs call offsides. If you understand what it says, you MAY be eligible to ref in the Union County Soccer League!

Cape Girardeau Photos

The Sports Section FINALLY got their photos up on their website. There is no index so to find a photo you have to wade through the whole bunch. On cursory look-through I found some photos of the 1st and 2nd grade teams but nobody else. I could be wrong....
