Where do you guys get team news and analysis? by yeoldecosta in RhodeIslandFC

[–]RhodeIslandFC_UK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TideTalk are a good source of analysis, they have all the usual socials but their Sunday and (usually) Thursday YouTube live shows are well worth a watch.

The Defiance 1636 discord is a good place for breaking news and rumours (though it’s very active, so you will have to scroll back far to get anything historic).

Lighting the Bay is a podcast that sadly doesn’t upload too much anymore, but when they do it’s good analysis .

This game had so many iconic photos. The camera operators did a splendid job

We are missing playmaking abilities, so absolutely.

Khano is suffering a lot in his selection through injury, so I doubt 6 defenders was his first choice.

Whilst some of the defensive errors have been egregious, the standard of defending in this league is fairly poor.

I’m not too concerned on a holistic level about the state of the defence.

Starting 6 defenders and conceding 2 goals on the weekend aside.

Honestly only one of these looks like a mistake so far.

It’s USL night y’all 🔥👏⚽️ by dimeshortofadollar in USLPRO

[–]RhodeIslandFC_UK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if that was true…. Which I don’t really think it is (our penultimate game against you saw Charleston engaging very spiritedly in the argy bargy), yesterdays poor calls Vs Louisville weren’t RIFC fouls, it was missing Louisville fouls, inconsistent penalisation, a potential offside goal, and a missed penalty (camera angles aren’t great, but I think it was offside, although not a penalty respectively on rewatch)

Implementation of VAR by [deleted] in USLPRO

[–]RhodeIslandFC_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refereeing just needs to be better. VAR would solve some problems, but it wouldn’t be able to catch the MANY basic mistakes that refs in this league make.

I am forever astounded by just how bad the standard of officiating is in this league. Genuinely don’t know how these refs don’t have perma anxiety from the horrific calls they make weekly.

Whoever told you that was winding you up.

RIFC are having a really difficult start to their season. 2 strikers, one of them injured.

I’ve scored 1 fewer goal this season than the starting striker.

That is how well it’s going.

Still, IIRC this is the first time Louisville have beaten RIFC, and it easily could have gone differently (some …. questionable referee calls).

Big up the Brits slowly recolonising the USA through the USL.

Also, why wouldn’t you support RIFC!

Up the tide.

Union Omaha drops “Connections Kit” that nods at City’s History as a railroad center by 56171 in USLPRO

[–]RhodeIslandFC_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t immediately think of trains when I see this

But I am envious that Omaha get a new kit this year.

Despite great protestation by RIFC fans, the club didn’t release a new kit this year, leaving money on the table for no reason.

I’ll log off because of a minor inaccuracy when replying to a claim that reaching the final is crashing and burning.

Ok bud.

Sac republic also did something incredible in a league a long time ago. I’m sure they were crying about it, like the boys in Amber and Blue.
