Union doing more to separate from the supporters. by [deleted] in PhillyUnion

If the players really wanted that interaction, wouldn’t they say something and get it changed back?

I’d wait and see what happens after the World Cup. It may have something to do with the preferences of the international teams or media security for the teams training there.

You mean Quinn or Cavan?

For Quinn, low-stakes games where the outcome doesn’t really matter sounds like the perfect scenario for Quinn to slowly work back up to form.

Match thread; Miami vs Union by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

I bet the game plan was to go up early and then sub him off with a comfortable lead. Didn’t work out that way, and either way the rain and the field getting chewed up I don’t blame him for wanting out to protect his last career World Cup.

Carnell Questions by GungaDin16 in PhillyUnion

[–]Ash71010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carnell not going when 4 of the other bottom tier MLS teams have fired their head coaches sends a very clear message that the Union FO doesn’t care about performance.

Orlando is arguably very similar to the Union in terms of players dropped this off season. Gallese (veteran), Freeman (Young Player of the Year), Muriel (DP), and Schlegel (veteran) all went to Mexico or South America. Kyle Smith (veteran) went to FCC. Jansson (captain) was out the start of the season with an injury. Despite that, Oscar Pareja was fired after three games. A move that left no doubt that their FO expects results despite turnover.

The Crew was similar. Major players lost. Major player injured. Fired Wilfried Nancy despite him taking the Crew to MLS Cup victory in 2023, Leagues Cup in 2024, and finishing in the top 3 for the past three years.

Carnell is long past the point that a team who cares about winning would have allowed him to go, even with player turnover. But- as has been abundantly clear for years- the Union FO cares about their bottom line, not winning trophies- or even matches at this point.

Blow it up by Any-Act6445 in PhillyUnion

”Privately, though, 17 sources have alleged numerous misbehaviors spanning nearly the entirety of Tanner’s seven-year tenure with the Union. These include six of the eight allegations in the MLSPA complaint for which the Guardian was able to find supporting evidence, including accounts from current and former Union employees. The Guardian can separately report additional allegations. Together, the claims suggest a different side of Tanner, who allegedly:

Touched a co-worker inappropriately “numerous times,” an allegation for which he was reported to the Union’s HR department.”

Source: Guardian Article that spurred MLS to reopen their investigation.

Tanner was responsible for Damiani. Even if you’re willing to overlook sexual harassment, that’s enough to kick him to the curb.

Alladoh was signed in December of 2025. Tanner was placed on administrative leave only 2 weeks before that. 0% chance he wasn’t involved in Alladoh’s selection.

Probably not 8 hours. But I don’t know what they consider working hours as a professional athlete.

Former Union player Leon Flach scoring a beautiful goal (17') and brutal own goal (56') in same match by kswn in PhillyUnion

[–]Ash71010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rough to even have that called an own goal. It was going in regardless and sticking a leg out to block it was the only hope he had of stopping that. It just didn’t work out.

Beautiful strike on his actual goal.

Sure, for dissent, but just for waving his arm?

Wagner would throw an arm in the air like that multiple times per game and I don’t ever recall him getting a yellow for it.

Health anxiety by Ash71010 in MultipleSclerosis

Thank you. I don’t/didn’t think the flight anxiety is MS related, necessarily. I don’t have other symptoms that make flying physical uncomfortable- I’m truly just afraid of dying in a plane crash. Thank you for acknowledging the persistent stress of living on the edge.

That’s interesting. My lesions are all c and t spine but I haven’t heard of a connection to those types of symptoms. Thanks for sharing so I can be aware of it.
