#1439307 Will Barlow play in every game?

Posted by JBigjake54 on 17 November 2023 - 11:23 AM

the fan base piles on Barlow as an easy target, when their ire should be directed at entirely different directions - high paid USL-level yearwood, suspended injured vanzier, confused Omir and Luqs, red card reyes, and ownership


The fan base piles on all of these targets.

the work just started. Time to send Barlow packing.


How about we digest this news first?

I suppose that this list will be updated:

Looks like we are the first club to fire two coaches.

At least no one bought the "standard of playoff consistency" BS. More like mediocrity.

Jhon Durán black balled at Aston Villa...
I'd take Jhon Durán in a heart beat


Villa paid $18 Million for him. Current value?

I see you, Big Jake.


I did not go into the refs changing room!


#1438888 Some people express opinions, others are ignorant

Says the guy who chooses to be ignorant.


Look in the mirror. I suggested waiting. The most we ever learned was that VZ made a "This is monkey bullshit" comment to a ref.

Seems like Vanzeir got screwed based on how lenient the punishments have been for players who very clearly intentionally used racist language.


Be careful expressing such an opinion!
A few resident a-holes here pronounced Dante guilty without a shred of information and demanded his immediate termination. Anyone suggesting patience or a different narrative was castigated.


#1438828 2024 Roster Changes - not too early

Posted by JBigjake54 on 07 November 2023 - 07:37 PM

I don't think we're more than maybe 3 pieces and better luck away from being a contender for a top seed again.


Better teams than us are also working on improving.

I think Nov 22

You answered your own question?


#1438674 Why no excitement?

Posted by JBigjake54 on 05 November 2023 - 03:13 PM

I would gladly take players like a just past his prime Thierry Henry and impactful Tim Cahill again. at least the place could fill up from time to time.


IIRC, RBA was not a full house when they played.

this playoff streak outside of a couple dozen people here doesn't move the excitement needle. 


Those couple of dozen are journalists who cannot find anything else to say about our decades of playoff fails.

Loved the Miazga drama. Still only 80% sure he was mocking us. 

Miazga said he was trying to show love. Poor timing.

Stadium was excellent last night atmosphere wise.  Good crowd that was into it.  


My ears are still ringing.

I don't mind the WWE guy, but the woman on color commentary is not good at calling this.


Watch on FS1. Tony Meola doing the commentary.

best-of-3? Admittedly, I don't follow nearly as closely as I used to, but I didn't realize I was this out of the loop.


Format seems to change annually. Always a year late for us.

Manoel coulda shoulda had 2 more.


Man scores a hat trick, I do not question his misses.
He just as easily could have had none, with game going to PKs.
