Dale, Vela, dale. Nice to see him back. Too bad it was too late to save Bob Bradley's job.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Seems like a bad omen for your club's first-ever goal to be waived off. On the other hand, Charlotte FC's kits are top notch. They look awesome.

sky1324 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 And Charlotte experiences its first awful reffing moment. DCU gets away with a hook before what I think was a handball gives DC a goal. Unreal. Refs don't even look at the video review. 2 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that I find so frustrating about the FCC experience is that they're clearly bad, but I don't know enough about MLS to point to why or how to correct things. I'm going to the Crew game in Columbus with a friend who's a Crew fan and I think I might just wear neutral colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCC can follow the Chivas USA route, e.g., failed expansion club which led to MLS buying and folding the club in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except in Cincinnati's case, the are real estate implications, which makes it a lot less likely that scenario would ever happen. Chivas shared a venue and practice facility with LA Galaxy. Blowing it up left behind a lot less shrapnel than it would for a franchise whose owners invested the lion's share of $250 million in a stadium. When you've got that kind of skin in the game, you get a much longer leash before the powers that be are willing to label it a failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS could always demote FCC if the league had a PRO/REL structure. (No, I am not serious about the PRO/REL talk). Honestly, I would be upset with ownership if Austin, Charlotte, or even St. Louis make the MLS Playoffs before FCC does. I give GM Albright and HC Noonan three seasons to turn things around in Cincy. The first hurdle is winning more than 6 matches in a season, a very low bar to hurdle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Well other than being blown out in Austin I did see some positives from the team in that match. They didnt park the bus the entire game and actually had decent possession in the opposing end. Noonan also used all five subs (which was rare for Stam) and made his first sub well before the 80th minute (which is when Stam made his, too little, too late). Other positives not affecting play is the team finally listened to fans and made orange kits and posted a position lineup rather than just names for their starter grapics on social media, which again fans had been begging for) Goaltending seems to still be a big issue. Many people didnt like Tyton and then Vermeer came and suddenly fans were begging for Tyton again. Now Tyton is gone, and after Kanns performance against Austin, fans are clamoring for Vermeer. Its the circle of suck and when a new keeper comes in and does bad its like fans forgot the old keeper was just as bad and want them back. 3 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 For those with an Athletic sub, there's a fun read of an anonymous survey of MLS team GMs et al. https://theathletic.com/3162180/2022/03/03/2022-mls-team-executive-anonymous-survey-candid-views-on-owners-coaches-players-and-cheating-around-the-league/ Many good quotes but my favorite is: Quote “I mean, GAM, TAM, what the :censored:?,” said one executive. “Just have an amount you can utilize, don’t make it so needlessly complicated.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I’m sure that dropping GAM, TAM, ect will make it easier for the casual fan to understand MLS as well. At this point it’s time to just have 1 type of allocation money but I assume that won’t happen until the CBA is up. 1 Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Looking good in Charlotte: EDIT, also, Sounders/RSL suspended in the 44th minute in Utah due to weather: I haven't been tracking, but not sure if they need to play the remaining 90 seconds and then break again for a second half, or if they can play straight through whenever they restart. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Columbus up a man and 2 goals in the 80th minute, draws 3-3. FC Cincinnati up a man and lose due to VAR handball call 0-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 FC Cincinnati just always finds some way to blow it. Up a man late, tied in the dying minutes of stoppage only to give up a handball in the box. Also the stadium had no music or working menu screens at the concessions as the stadiums internet systems were down. Whoops. 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
