In Topic: Sin bin or ice box coming?

01 December 2023 - 03:11 PM

If the issue we're facing is that refs don't want to card for "professional fouls" that kill the game and that refs don't want to send a player off for a second infraction, I don't see a "sin bin" doing much to resolve this. If a foul occurs after the 80th minute of the game, there would be no difference between a second yellow or a sin box. The team would effectively lose that player for the remainder of the game. 

 

If refs are afraid to give that second yellow, why wouldn't they be afraid of using the sin bin...?

Strange way for league to handle giving kai less suspension

This doesn't make a lot of sense. I could be wrong, but I recall one of the "positives" RBNY was pushing was that Vanzier owned up to his mistake right away... Something isn't right.

 

At this stage, whether or not he can become something, he's better off moving on. Public comments from the team seemed to indicate that Vanzier owned up to his errors and everyone was happy to have him back. Yet, he was relegated to the bench for much of the season. Was that simply because he wasn't fit or was there something more? Reality is, he needs a fresh start somewhere else.

I don't know how frequently the Seeing Red guys read here, but I want to send my best out to Joe and my hope for a speedy recovery from whatever he's fighting through. 


In Topic: Selling naming rights to RBA?

I thought that Hudson County had re-acquired ownership of the stadium a while back. Thus wouldn't it be Hudson County selling the naming rights and not Red Bull...? 


In Topic: Is Coronel better than Meara?

31 August 2023 - 10:54 AM

When Meara first started for us, he was great. Then he got hurt and Robles took his spot and became a clear #1. Meara never regained that form. He's simply gone backward to the point that I'm not even sure he's a good backup now. He seems like a player that has accepted his role as backup and isn't pushing himself to try and steal that top spot back. It was there for the taking when he started US Open Cup. Instead, he fell flat and looked terrible...
