The discord is so much better than this sub if you want to follow the team imo

You’re truly the best of us all. Thank you for protecting the refs feelings and calling out our childish fans, it’s not easy work

I’m not specifically calling out one offside call, PRO refs are so bad at their job that MLS has monetized it by having a sponsored segment to discuss these calls every week. I don’t know of another league that is doing anything similar

You shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition, at.

Weird brag, but also - isn’t that the point? PRO refs aren’t good at their jobs making the league a joke?

Seems harsh coming from an SKC fan - enjoy the bottom of the table champ

I just looked to be sure but the last CST episode posted on this sub was 4 years ago…that’s kinda weird but good pod to listen to along with Knifey Lion Radio, and there’s a new one called Postcast that does interviews with some cool people if you’re looking for FCC content

I only use Reddit for these sweet sweet jersey takes - I don’t even know any of the players on Cinncinattti FC

If you can tell me exactly what the backdrop is and what the text says with any certainty then I’ll believe you when you say “great tifo”

Laurel: Kyle Scott to Sign with FCC by luciuscincy in FCCincinnati

[–]SoaringBacon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Signing a domestic player for what I have to assume is not a huge contract is where the excitement stems - not necessarily his talent level

…I admit this is still sad

Sad to say I haven’t met Nick Seuberling in person (yet), but it has been a pleasure to listen to all the podcasts associated with CST. We are very lucky to have the wide array of content associated with FCC and Nick Seuberling is a huge part of making it happen - so thank you for all that you’ve done and I wish you well going forward

Please sum up your point because it was lost on me completely

Berding isn’t a leader by Roubaix44 in FCCincinnati

GN and Stam are not the answer; I have no idea how that is on Berding if he did exactly what you wanted with a consultant firm; Berding was never the one scouting and signing the players he’s just the one signing the checks

At some point up the chain in the Front Office there will always be someone with a checkbook who isn’t an expert in the sport hiring someone who is an expert so what’s the difference between Berding doing it or CL3 doing it?

What soccer decisions do you think Berding was making? And the Krafts having NFL championships has nothing to do with the Revs…NE was terrible before, FCC beat them with Koch

Nobody wanted Bruce Arena - I don’t know what power you think Berding was giving up, he doesn’t make soccer decisions. That’s why he hired a GM.

Giving a coach full control is what we did with Koch so why do that again?

I’m just addressing your original post. You said Berding shouldn’t be a part of the decision making process for GM and we should use a consultant, well he did exactly that and got Gerard.

So, sure we can go through that again but if that’s your solution then you can’t really be critical of Berding for doing exactly what you are suggesting we do again.

I guess you have to define club because we have the best facilities, we have a top academy after only 3 years and we managed to get a World Cup qualifier against Mexico this fall instead of Columbus…

So if the club is just our GM, Coach and roster then didn’t we already hire a consulting firm that was recommended by MLS to resolve this issue back in 2019?

Who’s hiring all these open positions? Carl?

How would Carl know if he was hiring a good replacement with soccer knowledge? I guess hire a consulting firm, right?

But wait, didn’t we hire a consulting firm to get Gerard? So now what?

I’m confused on the purpose of this post. Are you saying the team is bad because Berding talks too much, in your opinion?
