BATTERY vs Orlando | US Open Cup | June 17 2015
CHARLESTON BATTERY vs ORLANDO
I dedicate this gallery to my good friends Battery Forward Dane Kelly and Goal Keeper Odisnel Cooper. Each played with gut and heart… took a beatin’ & kept on tickin’… Tied at the end of regulation time, still tied at the end of overtime… 10 round shootout resulted in a 8-7 loss for Charleston.
Charleston Battery Players you WON! Orlando knows THEY LOST!!!!!!! Charleston Battery Players, hold your heads high!!!!!! You have so much to be proud of!!!!!!
Orlando must be really threatened by our own Dane Kelly as their supporter’s chants were designed around him… Wow what a compliment to Dane Kelly… he is on their radar! Dane was inappropriately heckled by the Orlando City Fans … then scored on Orlando’s GK! Meow!!!!!
Battery Goalkeeper Odisnel Cooper had one of the worst calls against a player I have ever seen… overall, poor, poor officiating by the refs…
I personally spoke with Former Battery Player Mark Watson… so proud he is having the opportunity to coach for MLS … not so proud of the supporters of his club… very disappointed in their lack of sportsmanship… but applaud them for noting the ‘polite’ ways of supporting our Battery.

on June 27, 2015I watched this game and an very proud you decided to tell the story as it really happened. Your choice of action shots are spot on. The fan shots speak volumes. I know it was a long and gruelling game. In my opinion the Battery out played Orlando from the minute the game began. It is a sport, a game of endurance. I saw a professional Battery team with loyal fans. The rude gestures and mockery displayed by the Orlando fans was very unprofessional, borderline indignant. It's one thing to play a game an another to win. The score at the end of the day is in no way indicative of of the team sports. Since this was an invitational, the powers that be need to watch this one and play close attention to the unacceptable behavior of the fans. I truly think the referees need to also review the call that was clearly unfair. In the future I hope the Battery makes solid invitational choices, not because of their standings, but because of their ability to play the game and bring fans with manners. There should be guidelines that have repercussions for unsportsmanlike behavior. In my opinion the Battery won.
