... It was the worst of times.

I got shown the straight red for the first (and hopefully last) time yesterday.

The team was full of pricks. cheap shots when the ref wasn't looking, kicking while I was down, stepping on legs, and shouting random insults like assholes do.

That and a frustrating day didn't combine well, so when one of my teammates fired a long ball for me and it was one on one with the goalie, I tripped, and instead of avoiding the goalie like I should have (and could have) done, I went into his side with both knees.

Note from the future: I didn't actually have to serve the mandatory suspension, turns out they gave it to the wrong person, somehow. I played the next game, and the guy who was actually given the suspension didn't end up showing up anyways. Not bad.
