disgusting!

I love the line “Liz is a quality student-athlete…” by Coach Vela. What, she’s quality except for when she’s punching opponents or pulling their hair? OJ was a great husband, too, you know, when he wasn’t punching Nicole or brandishing knives.

What a Class act! Saying “I’m sorry” just won’t get it. There is too much violence in general to permit this kind of behavior. Where are the criminal charges?

BYU’s #7 elbowed Liz with a closed fist (violent conduct justifying a red card). Liz retaliated in kind. BYU’s #21 has a handful of Liz’s shorts (unsporting behavior justifying a caution) The hair pull was again in retaliation. If the referee team is not going to control the game then in self defense a player need to send a message that if you are going to cheat there will be a price to pay. The cheating by Kassidy Shumway and Carlee Payne is more subtle but equally as outrageous. The referee team sets the tone and since they permitted this type of play the referee team of Joe Pimentel, Mark Sackett, Bill Debatty and Albert Montalvo should receive equal condemnation.

“A former Lobo soccer player, who played with Lambert and asked to remain nameless, said that the incidents have been over-hyped, and the majority of people don’t understand the nature of soccer.”

Mario AND Editors,

her first instance of physical abuse? what a joke – she should be banned from collegiate playing and coaching for life.

Kim—You’re an idiot. There’s a huge difference in dirty play. Backing into an opponent and grabbing some jersey are one thing. Throwing punches, pulling hair, and intentionally inflicting harm are completely different. I played D-1 soccer all through college and sometimes it got a little rough, but this is a little out of hand. You’d know this if you’d ever played.

I hope that everyone realizes that it wasn’t just on Youtube or local news, it was on the Today Show as well. People need to think about their actions, whether in retaliation to something or not.

I’ve seen this on all the networks. Class act all the way. From the coaching to the reffing. It further supports my theory that ugly women are a plague on society. We must deal with this problem before the uglies unite.

lambert and the coach should be banned from soccer for life

Let’s have the same crew that did such an outstanding job with coach Lo9xsley handle this problem. If Krebs could “ whitewash” Loxsley( With schmidly being his usual incompetent self), we should be able to have this young lady selected as the UNM Female Athlete of the Year.

“I don’t want to give away any tricks of the trade,” the former Lobo said. “But I think when you are out there you think ‘if the refs don’t see me, it’s not going to be a problem.’ And now the media caught her for it, and now she is paying for it.”

What more needs to be said? This is an amoral girl’s soccer team.

I think her punishment should be pretty harsh because I was in Nevada this weekend and their local news station could not get enough of this story. It ran every couple of hours on two national sports channels and I saw it on Good Morning America. What a way for our school to be represented. Why didn’t the coach say anything? The coach should have done something this cannot all be the fault of the refs blindspots.

So is this the first time this player has gone off like this? It’s hard to imagine so. I think a thorough video review of all games she’s been involved in is appropriate. Is she the only member of the team playing this dirty?

Elizabeth Lambert has a bright future in roller derby!

This is a perfect example of a player that lacks skills has to resort to physical means.
I am glad to see that she has been suspended and should be removed permanently.
It is players like this that send a bad message to younger players and kids who are learning when they see her MULTIPLE actions.
When you have to punch,pull hair,and slide tackle players legs to get to the ball that shows lack of skills!!
And this applies to any player who has to resort to such tactics to get the ball.
Hair pulling I thought was faded out in elementary school

Wow, women’s soccer just became a whole lot more interesting for me!

Liz Lambert is playing this way because Kit Vela wants it that way. If Liz isn’t the thug, Kit will put someone in who will. Someone needs to interview a lot ot past players and parents of players if they wnat the truth. This all started at the top. Let’ see if UNM has what it takes to find out the truth

Lambert should be taken off the team for her violent actions. I realize that soccer is a though sport but if she wanted to throw punches and pull hair she should sighn up for the catfighting leauge. Wheather it’s in the nature of the sport or not this type of behavior is unacceptable for a UNM athlete. (or coach!)

Although I agree that her actions were COMPLETELY uncalled for, I have to say that Krebs is a hypocrite. He covered for the men’s football coach, who punched and choked another coach, then he says, “Liz’s conduct on the field against BYU was completely inappropriate,” Krebs said in a statement. “There is no way to defend her actions.” How were you able to defend the football coach’s actions, Mr. Krebs? It’s not like he’s a good coach or anything. Look at your football record! I think that’s a pretty good indication of the competence of you and your co-conspirators. They’re idiots if they keep paying you your overpriced salaries while students are having to share a room with 3 people because UNM spends their money on the corrupt athletics program. Pathetic.

I propose a cage fight. Locksley versus Lambert.

I just saw the report on ABC news. If that were my daughter that she did that too, I think I would come unglued and do something that would put me in jail. However, doing so would make me just as worthless as this player.

This individual is not a “… a quality student-athlete …” as described by the coach. She should be suspended for life from collegiate soccer. God forbid if this person ever made it to a world stage representing the USA in soccer. I wonder what some of the Euro hooligans would do if she did this to one of their players.

Lambert needs to be banned from the game for life…people like this grow up to be serial killers.

My Daughter is being highly recruited by a lot of Div I schools. Ms Lamberts actions has confirmed to us that New Mexico will definately be one of the schools that will be crossed out of our list. We are on a little island in the pacific thank you for that Ms Lambert for showing what type of program allows that type of actions to go with minimal punishments as a suspension.

To condemn Ms Lambert to a lifetime ban from the soccer team would be a travesty. I am not saying what she did was right in any manner, but take a good look at colleciate sports in general, eye gouging in football,deliberately trying to take someones knees out,taking down someone while in mid air attempting to score a basket. This stuff happens in every level of sports. However in this day and age of instant world wide media, we need to be on the up and up in whatever we do and say. Ms Lambert acted inappropriately and should receive some sort of suspension, not a life sentence…. Blame it on a society who lives to see this sort of thing in sports, but then will quickly turn on the perpertrator after the event.
