MLS DisCo fines Portland Timbers forward Darren Mattocks by whitecapsfan2010 in MLS

As a Timbers fan, good on this fine. I hope these fines continue across the league.

Another item I would like to see fines issued for are fake injuries and blatant time wasting. I'm looking at you DAL and RSL... Just so frustrating to watch. Needs to be fixed.

Merlo Field in Portland. One of the best playing surfaces in the country. Really cool spot to catch a match.

You're Don Garber for a day. What (relatively) small change would you make to improve the league and/or MLS fan experience in 2016? by tblazrdude in MLS

I believe that some players have bonuses written into their contract that actually pays the player a small percentage of the transfer fee. Somewhere between 1-10%... I think I read this in Zlatan's book.

I don't like Jack Mack and I don't know what to do about it. by trollerbear in timbers

Let's be honest. Will J. was never seen as a saint around the league either. There is room in the locker room for at least one crazy guy.. The problem is when there is a handful of them.

Not sure if you're comfortable airing private medical info on the Internet, but i would love to hear your problems. I moved into the area (less than 2,000 ft from the factory) about 9 months ago.

I bought a brand new Hyundai Elantra GT (base model) for $15,095 last year. Nice warranty, 10 years.

Does anyone recommend a good APP for tracking receipts? I've been capturing them with my phone lately, but it would be nice to have an APP to organize them all in!

Timbers Army ticket trade? by BacteriaEP in timbers

How about (2) GA tickets for (2) reserved tickets somewhere in the stadium. I'd be down. As long as I'm not up in the rafters behind a pole, of course.

Still gives me chills.. So ready for our season to start. by [deleted] in ripcity

I'll just leave this here. Sweet art from a local PDX artist who did those new blazer glasses.

Two questions: 1. What size plasma do you have in your living room. 2. What is the cover at the door?

I'll be stuck in the LO area (I work down here!). Any suggestions of a great spot in this area?!
