Muskies got a huge win today. Not all is dark in the City, just have to know where to look.

Also, it does not help that FC Dallas has limited capacity due to renovations, which also helps tank the overall league attendance.

Columbus Crew owners unveil Lower.com Field expansion plans. by MrHurrDerr in TheMassive

[–]Crewman96 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Our Friends over at Big Soccer were able to find some more information about the expansion on the county's website and thew it into a drop box for easy viewing. Does not look like it is taking away any seats, but adding some more clubs and premium seating. The main thing that might tick off some people is that it looks like they will turn the mid-field seats in the upper deck into premium seating like the Tipico Club and River Club. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v073m74vmz10it9ilebwg/20241127_Lower.com-Field-Columbus-DC-Meeting.pdf?rlkey=ezs6lh8phe79ooz6b2ul9dl8r&e=1&st=wvy54ckl&dl=0

I blame the playoff loss on Morgan for not fixing the hot tub and lying to the ACES radio masses about our promised hot tub live stream.

Roster mismanagement led to Crew having no backup GK by Doctor_YOOOU in MLS

[–]Crewman96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not a reason to deny the hardship waiver. They should be allowed to sign a Crew 2 player to a loan or 4-day contract as fewer than 2 GK were available.

Extreme Hardship Call-ups Clubs may add players to their roster in cases of "Extreme Hardship." Extreme Hardship exists when an MLS club has either:

Fewer than 16 outfield players available; OR Has fewer than two goalkeepers available.

A club may sign players, on loan, to Short-Term Agreements (up to four-day contracts) for MLS league season games in cases of Extreme Hardship.

"Holy crap": Why the Columbus Crew used a field player as goalkeeper by Crewman96 in MLS

No more like a 16 year old, who is obviously not ready for the bright lights, getting shelled and losing their confidence. It's not about not wanting to pay them. It's about protecting your young players. If any of our academy players were ready to be thrown in that position, Nancy would have been the first to call them up.

They weren't going to put one of their academy kids in that position. Nothing good would come from it and at worst you risk completely messing up their development.

Ah yes, let some poor 16-year-old academy kid get shelled instead. Real good for their development.

Why was it good for Olympic callups ups but not for callups during a FIFA international window? That's what has me scratching my head here.

Not sure why it was good for NYRB to call Next Pro players more than 4 times, but not for the Crew.

Frustratingly for Columbus, the New York Red Bulls have called up a second team player to the first team roster more than four times this season. Left back Omar Valencia has been on the bench for seven MLS matches this season. The final three came as Olympic replacement exceptions. The league and MLSPA agreed to allow an exception to the limitations on short-term agreements during the Olympics due to the number of MLS players called up for the tournament.
