I was walking down the street in Hoboken yesterday when I ran into Jeff Parke and his friend Jared. They had stopped me and asked if I was fan because I was wearing a Red Bull pullover. We talked a few minutes and he thanked me for the support. I mentioned that we had crew coming up for the New England game he happy to hear that and looks forward to hearing us on Saturday
i've met jeff parke, he occasionally goes to the same church as me. he's a really cool and nice guy, very approachable. talked to him after the 3-3 kc game and he seemed really upset at the result haha.
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 Fyi--trying To Get The Word Out..ny Red Bulls Dc Viewing Party Wed August 22 Blackthorn Irish Pub Michigan Ave Kenilworth Nj There Are People Coming From Red Bull Iving Away Priozes Etc..it's A Good Time Hope You Can Make It
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 he, i used to go there all of the time. please inform us all of any future watch parties there. i was not aware that we had supporters at that place. i wouldn't mind watchin a game at blackthorne
i have also met jeff parke. you are 100percent correct. he is very approachable. he actually told us that all of the supporters are what gets him through the tuff games. he seemed very genuine, when speaking on this matter. good guy.
Jeff Parke was cool at the All-Star game, came up to a few of us at the bar, small chit-chat. Glad he plays for us.
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 its not only cause the bennigans or whatever are playing , right? its only a watch party? riiiiiiiiiiiight?
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 yeah, post about that in the future, i live a few minutes away. much props to parke, its safe to say that the ESC loves the guy's grit on defense and we let him know it!
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 damn i wish i wouldve known about this.....i live around the corner from black thorn, hopefully we can get more watch parties there
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 and of course he was the ONLY Metro who gave us any sort of props for going upo there. Everyu single other one walked away without acknowledging us at the end of the game. Aboslute ********ING!!!!!!!!!!!! BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they wonder why
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 I'll second that. I recall him taking a few minutes to chat with me and my daughter at the team hotel in DC in October of 2005. He seemed surprised we would drive 4 hours in a pouring rain to see them play. Of all the players we spoke to that afternoon he was the only one who thanked us for coming down to see them.
He's my favorite player. I never talk to the guy, but he seems so down to earth. Everytime there's a new edition of RB insider, I'm hoping he's in it. I hope someday I'll get a chance to talk to him
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 u are 99% correct, just please don't forget Joe Vide. He walked towards us and applauded.
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 Fina I think there should be some sort of response from the 101'rs personally we should boo them or let them know some how...
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 I'd rather not boo them if at all possible. It would only make things worse and it's too easily misconstrued. But yes, some measured response is called for here (note : measured. Not over the top fire and brimstone)
How about a song at the end of the matches? Sort of a gentle reminder. If you're happy with our cheering clap your hands! If you're happy with our cheering clap your hands! If you're happy and you know it then we'd sure like you to show it! If you're happy with our cheering clap your hands!
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 Wow, are you retarded. That's not a question, it's a statement. We don't turn on our team, end of. If they show no heart, play terrible, and don't even care..then yes, maybe it is appropriate to boo. But not after a shocking defeat like the one this weekend.
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 what else would you expect after a complete meltdown like that, although theoretically i would expect some sort of acknowledgment
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 It's ok, we're supposed to be thankful for what we have/are about to have. The sun shines in my world. [/sarcasm]
Re: NY RED BULLS VIEWING PARTY AUGUST 22 Alright alright. Let's make those judgements later on into the season.
Therewere only two RB players I booed: Yourie and forgot his name, black guy who transferred overseas. I would never booed the whole team after a bad game or not getting acknowledge for my support.
