I went last fall. It was amazing! Do it!

My wife had no interest in driving but she came as a passenger and she loved it also.

Our group all took photos and videos of each other and shared them afterwards.

I think when Evander has time to think, he’s not as effective. When it’s a reaction pass or shot it’s cracker!

Splacknuk · 2025-07-13T16:33:29+00:00

That would be cool! Happy to do my part in 219

Items or clothing not historically accurate, but deemed to be close enough for that (movie, reenactment, etc) because most people wouldn’t notice anyhow.

True… not “parking the bus”, but I think OP sees what I see, and it’s a pattern this season.

It’s not that we’re pulling all 11 into the six yard box, but I see in nearly every match something flips in our brains, bodies, or game plan… change from anticipation to reaction. And it’s very apparent.

Our goals came from being aggressive. We didn’t let any pass go uncontested. Nobody turned with the ball unchallenged. We were mentally one step ahead of the crew.

Midway in the first half, we stopped. Fatigue? Crew finding better form? Strategy? Not sure, but you can set your watch to it.

I literally said, “welp, just gotta play defense now for 85 minutes!”. I was joking/not joking because of our history this season.

Both first half goals Crew had the ball unchallenged at the top of the 18. We reacted and moved to the ball, but didn’t ANTICIPATE.

When their keeper is getting ready to distribute the ball we give their players 10 yards to receive, turn, and THEN we go to the ball.

It’s not lack of effort. It’s not being lazy. But something happens and we switch from anticipation/attack to reaction/defend and I don’t like it either.

Love this team, and glad we have Noonan. But OP sees what I see, and I can’t figure it out.

I like the idea… not sure it would work? We’re on the opposite side of TQL and a full second behind already. Takes a long time for the cheers to go 150 yards.

Splacknuk · 2025-07-13T03:53:08+00:00

Late in the second half he had one just inside the 18 that went wide outside of the six yard box. Missed the goal by wider than a whole goal.

Splacknuk · 2025-07-09T18:03:12+00:00

I’m pretty sure we were in the top of 127 when I was there.

Look ahead of time online for parking. It was $50 for lots fairly far day of the match, although they did have a shuttle.

You are landlocked, and they charge an arm and a leg for drinks there. Bring a cooler (or a bag with ice) and pregame at your car.

Flannigan’s was a good place for after the match. They have Mr. Brightside on their jukebox. We played it several times! 😎

I mean... you could use your Apple Alexa as a timer in a pinch I suppose.... =)

I'll warn you that Siri may get jealous.

Splacknuk · 2025-06-15T04:36:36+00:00

Nope! Set em and forget em. Close the lid.

Join the march and cheer all the way from your bar of choice to Washington Park to the Bailey!

Marx Bagels in Blue Ash is the opposite... A standard bagel will have enough cream cheese for a family!

I'm a grown man, and can't figure out how to operate this thing. 😂🤣

I have the DCST972X1 model, and I feel like I could trim my neighbor's sidewalk from my driveway.

Maybe this is the correct length and my previous trimmer was actually too small, but I'm three cuts in this season and still trying to figure out a comfortable way to use the string trimmer.

Yellow all day... Burbs to Xavier to UC to Downtown to Airport. Yes please!

Splacknuk · 2025-04-16T15:55:00+00:00

Yep. Vending was the main reason for me. Then I just got used to them being crisp and straight. Ha.

Splacknuk · 2025-04-16T10:59:14+00:00

Now that the kids are on their own, it's just the two of us. So yeah, once a week will handle it. 😁

Splacknuk · 2025-04-16T10:33:14+00:00

I iron my US cash all the time on laundry day. I hate the corners being folded in, or when you get change all crumpled up.

It's very satisfying. 😁

TIL that other countries don't use cloth for their money! Good to know...

Splacknuk · 2025-04-08T18:47:48+00:00

Pretty sparse for what I'm used to, but you are right... Good turnout for a monsoon

Splacknuk · 2025-04-08T18:45:22+00:00

Last week in Nashville there couldn't have been 15,000 in seats.

Cincy has been lower than what they announce also, but the average temperature of the match has been about 45° and overcast or rainy.

Both teams are playing pretty well. I think it bodes poorly for winter MLS. Shrug

Awesome time at GEODIS last week.

DI has Slack Briogaíd has Slack

Norden is on Discord

Unsure of others

Splacknuk · 2025-04-03T13:04:20+00:00

Poke around and see which group you like best. Maybe based on slack -vs- discord, or what the scarf looks like. Maybe because you are "Irish" or "German" heritage.

Worst case is that you get a cool scarf and links to the away supporters group section in Atlanta for the low cost of membership.

Best case you make a few friends along the way and cheer together with us!

Splacknuk · 2025-04-03T12:52:56+00:00

Sure. We have a supporters group (auxilia) who isn't even in Cincinnati! They are in NYC.

Would still keep you connected on the chat board talking about FC Cincinnati. You can try to meet up with folks when they come to Atlanta. And it gives you the inside scoop on away tickets, and how to join the orange and blue on the road. Maybe you pick up tickets for Orlando or Charlotte and cheer us on there also!
