    That would require a coach who would know HOW to fill out a lineup card with our best lineup. We don't have that.

    Why substitute Gaitan and not Bronico?

    So, while this game has dragged on, I have:

    1) Purchased a replacement tv, and a HUGE upgrade. I just ordered a 65" LG OLED E8 HDR. An evilly good tv. My LG 49" HD lasted me either 10 or 11 years, so we can splurge on an upgrade.

    2) I tried to return my Nectar foam mattress and they offered my $200 to NOT return it. Since I have already had it for 9 months, it seemed like a decent offer and I really did not relish the idea of sending it back (now, they arrange for a donation).

    Pretty decent use of time while this game has been a snooze.

    After my little fit of Prince videos in the 1st half, I spent the halftime watching old Prince videos. A hell of a lot more productive than listening to Danhole.

    Thank God I'm old and remember crap.

    Good for you and good use of time.
    I like turning the sound off listening to music when he is droning on and on.


    I am watching videos about my new television.

    Sapong.

    We cannot bench the Fire's 2019 MVP- Brandt Bronico.

    Take out one of the backs and go with three back line up.

    The Fire MUST go for the win every time. Draws mean virtually nothing at this point.

    Taking out Sapong (Fire's co-scoring leader) and Gaitan (assists leader and third in goals) is pure stupidity on Paunovic's part.

    With New England tied 0-0 (that would give them 41pts), you would think our dumbass coach would have gone for the win.

    58'-Mihailovic should have come in for Bronico, not Gaitan
    66'-Took out one the defenders and brought in Katai
    77'-Then last ditch effort take out Dax and bring in Herbers

    Yes
    Yes
    Yes

    Even better go with a 4-4-2
    start Katai in midfield instead of Bronico
    and start Sapong up top where he belongs.

    If the Fire do not score and win the game, this is entirely on Paunovic.

    Calvo fumbles a great ball from Herbers.
    Right in front of goal.

    Well, sitting here watching the stream, which is sucking. But, at least my dog is sitting next to me on the coach and I've been petting her for the last 15 mins. it's not all bad.

    What a f*cking waste of time and effort.

    1 point out of 6 against FC Cincinnati.

    Paunovic Out and out now (although I wait until October 6 at 5:05 ct).

    With a New England draw, the Fire could have pulled within a point.

    Three points behind New England, who have a game in hand.

    My dog is lying on the coach, sleeping on my foot.

    Man's best friend, indeed.

    Time to switch over and catch up with the UFC Fight Night.

    Especially in the first 66 minutes. He was completely invisible! :thumbsup:

    Bench him!
    Trade him!
