  • Richmond Kickers find their footing against Pittsburgh

    This was a game that the Richmond Kickers needed to win, a game that they needed to win exactly like this. After squeaking out 1-0 victories and 0-1 defeats, the Kickers dominated 3-1 victory against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, controlling possession and putting up multiple goals in a win for the first time since the end…

  • Richmond Kickers vs. Pittsburgh Riverhounds Game Thread

    I know that you all missed me these past two weeks; I missed you too! Surprise of all surprises, the Richmond Kickers had two 1-0 games since I last talked to you. One was a victory against the LA Blues, while the other was a loss to the Wilmington Hammerheads. A lack of multi-goal games…

  • Richmond Kickers to get Ethan White and Long Tan on loan

    D.C. United announced today that they are loaning out defender Ethan White and forward Long Tan to the Richmond Kickers for tonight’s match against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. By now, Ethan White is a familiar face to many Kickers fans, playing both as a right back and as a center back. His loan is especially needed,…

  • Late drama dooms the Kickers chance at points

    In the 81st minute, right after Jason Yeisley scored the Richmond Kickers second goal against the Rochester Rhinos, my mind started to look forward to where the Kickers would be in the table. 15 minutes later, after yellow cards, red cards, and two more goals, the Kickers are worse off than when the started the…

  • Richmond Kickers vs. Rochester Rhinos Game Thread

    Welcome again from beautiful City Stadium in Richmond, Va.! It is a lovely sunny day just south of Carytown, and a lovely day for the Richmond Kickers to take on the Rochester (Ragin’) Rhinos. As I mentioned in my previous post, the Kickers need a good result to get back on track for the playoffs,…

  • Richmond Kickers 1-4 Charlotte Eagles: Kickers collapse in the second half

    After getting four points in their last pair of back to back matches, the Kickers go on the road to North Carolina and lose both games, including a 4-1 loss to the Charlotte Eagles. This currently leaves the Kickers in sixth place, the last playoff spot, and having played three more games than the team…

  • Richmond Kickers fall to the Wilmington Hammerheads

    The last time that the Richmond Kickers scored more than one goal in a game, it was against these same Wilmington Hammerheads in City Stadium, with two goals scored in extra time. Since then, the Kickers have just one goal per game, but were able to win two and tie one. With a new defensive…

  • Richmond Kickers at Wilmington Hammerheads Game Thread

    The Kickers come in on a hot streak, and look to continue that tonight against the Wilmington Hammerheads, in North Carolina. However, they are boosted by the fact that a number of players are getting healthy, returning from national team duty, or have just been loaned in. The fact that Yomby William and Henry Kalungi…

  • Ethan White loaned to the Richmond Kickers for the weekend

    As I briefly mentioned on Black and Red United, central defender Ethan White has been loaned to the Richmond Kickers for this weekend’s two games against Wilmington and Charlotte. White has been recovering from knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and has not featured for United in league play so far this season. Kickers…

  • Richmond Kickers 1:0 Charlotte Eagles: Kickers leave it late

    Over the weekend (in a match that I was sadly unable to attend), the Richmond Kickers were able to beat the Charlotte Eagles 1-0 on a late goal by David Bulow. The goal came from a turnover off a goal kick by Charlotte, which allowed the Kickers to regain possession. Ross MacKenzie chested down a…
