Post-match: Spark Diminished - MLS Matchday 29 Crew vs Florida Men Saturday October 16th 6:00pm

Given the conflict, I chose hockey on Saturday....

 

This is a sure win. Bet the ranch.

Neville let the cat out of the bag; the league is corruptly conspiring with the officials to throw Miami's games.

I figure either he's telling the truth, in which case we're golden, or he's lying, which will piss off the ref who has just been accused of being on the take.

Either way, we're good

 

Is this the first time Pipa will play in Columbus after leaving The Crew?

 

Not 100% but I think so.

 

I smell a tie.

Forward progress but still a nail in the post season coffin; or a long thumb tack or piece of duct tape.

Or at the "I think I'll go for a walk" point from the "Bring out your dead" scene from Python's Holy Grail.

 

"You're not fooling anyone, you know..."

 

Will we get to see that fancy halftime light show again? Or was that for US games only?

 

Wonder if anyone has told Emily Maish that her hometown professional soccer club faces off this weekend against an opponent that Coach Caleb Porter has called, "One of the best teams in the league."

 

Mensah is out for tomorrow due to quarantine.

What a jackass.

 

FFS.

What a joy, the 2021 Columbus Crew.

 

I'm not sure how much it even matters. He went 90 on Saturday and 90 again on Tuesday and then had to fly back here from frikkin Zimbabwe.

Aside from quarantine, which is a whole separate subject, he's not Superman.

It's the perennial complaint from clubs: we send you our best and you send us back exhausted guys who need a rest and are probably nicked up anyway.

 

[citation needed]

 

Miami cannot really complain about cheating since they played with 4 DPs all last year. F#ck 'em. Crew by 4, even without Mensah and likely Room.

 

We should not sign anyone who is vaccine hesitant, period. It is costing us games & points and I am sick of it.

 

I believe the quarantine is 10 days (could be wring there) for unvaccinated. He could miss two games, not just one.

 

So if I'm reading everything correctly, there is a Jackets game at Nationwide on Saturday evening as well? What time does that game begin? Are there other events in the area tomorrow?

 

Yes, 7pm puck drop. Also a 7pm concert at Express Live. So neither should have much impact on the Crew game, other than larger pregame bar crowds.

 

Thanks. Sounds like my group has picked the right weekend to convince me to try Hofbrau Haus as a pregame/parking venue.

 

It's 5 days at least it was last international break.

 

If that is indeed the case, then it makes no difference (unless he is exposed to a known case or gets it himself, of course). Bill is right, as he is likely out anyway after olaying 90 twice for Ghana.
