After the dramatic 1-1 tie, the Roadies made their way to the parking lot and on their way home before I could reach them for an on-camera interview. They are not to be blamed because of how long I wandered around on the pitch, almost in a daze.
So many emotions.
Proud that the team battled back from down a goal to get a point.
Frustrated that we certainly could have taken all three points.
Excited that we were still in first place and undefeated.
Angered at the referee for some questionable decisions and at the way the Rocket City United players pulled, shoved and tackled aggressively, making the game sloppy and not as entertaining as it could have been for the sold out crowd.
So, for this week’s Roadie Reaction, we are listing the Top Ten Tweets from Saturday night.

Another great crowd over 1,800 in a 1,500 seat stadium. Very nice.

That whistle was 2 hasty! Let the play finish; the follow up goal should have counted 2 our advantage, player sent off after! @Nashville_FC

I know coach Johnson said he wouldn’t say anything bad about the officiating but I will. If the referee lets that play out Nashville wins 2-1. The Fourth Official who I was standing next to, agreed.

Went to my first @Nashville_FC game tonight. Must say it was a lot of fun. — Zane Gibson (@_ZaneGibson) June 1, 2014
Keep bringing in new fans and watch this thing grow.

I’m not sure about you guys but it seems the I-65 derby could be something special. — Nashville FC (@Nashville_FC) June 1, 2014
Yes it is, if only there were RCU supporters to trash talk with. It’s likely they have just as many fans as they had goals on Saturday.

That was a draw that should have been a win, but I loved how the team and the fans seemed to come alive in the second half. @Nashville_FC

That’s how it felt for me too sara. Kind of felt like a loss, especially when there were plenty of chances to win.

@SteveWSSports Can’t say enough how much I enjoy your coverage of @Nashville_FC. Keep up the great work. It is much appreciated! — MusicCitySC (@MusicCitySC) June 1, 2014

“@jaradsneed: @NFCRoadies Remember to keep your head up man!” Appreciate that a lot guys. We’ll come back stronger and I owe you guys 1! — Alan O’Connor (@AlmeisterG) June 1, 2014
O’Conner missed the PK at the end of the game. But I think he’ll make up for it at some point in the season.

@Nashville_FC still undefeated. Nice hand ball to stop the second goal @RCUSoccer
— Travis Best (@tbest459) June 1, 2014
Still undefeated. Still top of the table.
1. I saved this for last, hoping NFC players see these tweets and realize what a win next Tuesday would mean to shut their fan up.
@BucketHeadHBS Do Nashville players know that when you try to score on a pk, you are not trying to kick a field goal??
— Rocket City United (@RCUSoccer) June 1, 2014
Stay Classy Huntsville.
@BucketHeadHBS And when you have the motto “Our Club Our Town” you might want to conciser actually playing in the town you are from. — Rocket City United (@RCUSoccer) June 1, 2014
From now on, we will definitely conciser it.
@BucketHeadHBS Well, its nice to actually look at our field and have.. ya know, grass. Was that cat litter we saw yesterday?
— Rocket City United (@RCUSoccer) June 1, 2014
How nice was it to look at the stands and see…ya know, spectators?
