The most interesting thing for me was that the ref seemed to imply that Hanashima-san's teams had a reputation for this, and he seemed very troubled by it,

Don't forget than Masaru was a coach before, and by all accounts seemed to take it seriously - he blamed himself for the injury suffered by his ace. He's also a former J-Leaguer. Perhaps his earlier stint in coaching earned him a reputation as a too-serious coach whose kids didn't play with class. There's no indication that he's relocated, so it's very possible that earlier team was local and the ref might have heard stories.

Nonetheless, from the previews of episode 13, we will get so see more of this ref and perhaps we'll get a better idea of what's bugging him. But did the previous Predators team have a bad reputations? I don't remember it being mentioned. |

Yeah, I thought the reputation of the Predators precedes them. I mean, those triplets, while prodigies, aren't exactly the friendliest of the bunch. I bet this isn't the first time they did this, and they were on same team before too, so it follows they pretty much made the Predators infamous.
As for the 'gentleman thing', I personally can't grasp the idea considering the sports I played with my friends are filled with taunting, jeering, and trash talking. Of course it's all in good fun, with everyone shaking hands and good games being passed around after all is said and done, but being a gentleman isn't exactly what we did DURING the game.

This is the first time I heard the mention of "gentleman thing". Seriously, this ain't golf or Tennis.
Japanese got to learn from the source... Now to the importance of next week episode regarding Reika mom. This will be cliche and boring Someone fast forward to dieting montage..

Still can't agree with this "gentlemen play", that the ref mention. Zidane is legend. Maybe it was worth losing the shot at the championships ^ :O

If there were no rules nor refs, football matches might all end up like the animated version of one in the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks. |

So I'm not usually one for sports shows, but I was convinced to watch some of this, and I like it so far. (Up to Ep3) As ANN states -- this show is only supposed to be 13 episodes, right? Or will it be longer than that? The quick pacing so far through 3 episodes, leads me to believe the 13. Although from what I've heard, Reika hasn't had her "character development" yet thats shown in the OP?
(Although her character design kinda bothers me. Yes, it's good to teach kids that even if they are out of shape, that through hard work they can burn it off, etc. But the original to later design change kinda insinuates that if you are overweight you are ugly, etc. As compared to something like the chubby characters in Real Drive were overweight, but not completely bad) |

Episode 13 seemed to go by very quickly. It was over before I knew it. I don't know how realistic it was for the Predators to be able to turn the tables on the opposition like that, with my zippo amount of football knowledge. I was almost expecting them to actually lose the match, but that would be silly, of course. Maybe next episode. It was a little bit of a downer(?) after the last episode not to see more of Reika in action. But at least Erika scored one of the goals. Kudos to the fansub group for getting episode 13 out so soon! After some of the very long waits we've had, it seemed like a miracle to see it available already. However this cour ends, I know I won't be disappointed (unless it's only one cour), unlike a couple of the big gun animes this season which, in my opinion, just came to very unsatisfactory conclusions. |

Lol, I saw eps 13 and saw that Saionji's family problems are resolved, and I go wtf? Turns out that I missed eps 12.
And scumbag ref. To hell with being a gentleman's game, I just want a fair one.
