Revolution Recap returns Sunday, 7-8PM on WNRI AM 1380 (+ Internet)

I'll check it out tomorrow, Sean. Your podcast missing on ITunes last week was a gaping hole in my commute home from work!! I continue to really enjoy your show, enjoyed the chat with Brad Feldman a few weeks back. Saw in the Globe that you're a Franklin guy (me too!).

I'll try to post tomorrow about whatever thing you guys say pisses me off the most, coz that's always more interesting

 

re: Khano - I was counting the minutes till Joyce ripped Khano, she's got a dislike for the player, part of that camp of Revs followers that like Castro-Pepe-Badilla but have trouble with Khano's game. I think if you counted the quality crosses from Khano this year, his total would easily surpass Castro's. Khano's defense has been pretty good this year, and his number of bad passes has dropped off as well. Go Khano!

re: the Stadium - Sean, I think you are being myopic about the stadium location. Of course, people from Franklin and Providence will have more trouble attending, but for every southern problem, you pick up that same person from the north (suddenly Lowell, Lawrence, Revere, southern NH can think about getting to a Revs game)...then add in the fact that inside 128 Bostonians can get to the game easily, clearly Somerville is a better stadium location than Foxboro.

re: the MIA - Loved this topic. I was glad you reminded me about #1 draft pick Valentino (aka WHO?). Not as big a Phelan-hater as you guys. Loved that you remembered Igwe and agreed with your assessment that he is not a center back but that he showed promise on the left.

Upcoming episode suggested topic: Talk to Kyle and Joyce about whether SN tanked the Open Cup game and did they think that had long-term negative effect on the team. I think that is a big topic here on the board, would love to hear it discussed on your show.

Great show, thanks Sean!

 

Thanks for having me again, long time no see

 

Another good show last week Sean.

If there was one thing that struck me about the interviews you did, it was how many of the Revs talked about how the referee should know "the situation" before issuing the red card. I guess I find that interesting for two reasons...

- No one talked about Badilla knowing "the situation" when he committed the foul.

- The idea that the officials should be bending and interpreting rules on the fly based on off-field issues is at best a questionable wish...there is enough chaos and wiggle-room in soccer officiating without actually encouraging rules interpretation.

Go Revs! Go Revolution Recap!

 

Hey Sean, listened to the final podcast. Thanks for the great wrap-up. Overall, I left the season happy. High point was the Superliga win, but I actually felt really good about the 0-0 home game against the Fire where I thought the Revs played their hearts out. Yea, in the end, it did come down to too many injuries. Were the Revs contenders without injuries? I think so, not because the Revs were unstoppable, but because the rest of the league, with the exception of the Crew perhaps, looks pretty damn beatable to me. With Twellman, Ralston, a healthy Joseph, and ma man Khano on a wing, along with Larentowicz, Parkhurst, Heaps, Albright, and Reis, I think we had enough horses.

Hope you have an occasional off-season show. Otherwise, hear you next year.
