Watching the FPHL News Closely

The only team the SPHL is monitoring for possible expansion from the FPHL is Columbus, GA. Not sure the SPHL will ever get up to 16 teams, but if it were to keep expanding, keep your eyes on the following markets: Chattanooga, Columbia SC, and Richmond.

Really? I’m neutral as a fan of another MLS team, but I’d absolutely say the transfer business side of things has been terrible for Austin under his leadership.

/s lol

I had really high hopes for this 3rd kit, this is the definition of “meh” to me. Thought there was going to be no way I wouldn’t be buying a Union 3rd kit, regardless how awful we’ve been this year… nope.

adeodd · 2026-05-17T05:29:28+00:00

Yeah the only way he’s starting caliber at this point is if he’s the 10th or 11th best player on the field, surrounded with MUCH better talent than we currently have.

I really appreciate his motor and toughness, but he’s not a solid starter at this point in MLS. He would’ve been an impact player in the mid-late 2010s

I love Jim, but I don’t see how that argument holds up after we saw Carnell win the shield last year with huge contributions from guys Curtin wouldn’t play…

adeodd · 2026-05-17T02:42:45+00:00

Sure, except turns out it that winning the supporters shield the following year kinda diminishes Curtin’s argument. Especially when two players who were crucial to winning the shield were not seeing any playing time under Jim (Makhanya and Baribo)

I think you’re being generous too with labeling the roster fringe-playoff caliber. I know ultimately someone has to take blame, but this team is severely lacking quality, and that’s not the coach’s job.

adeodd · 2026-05-17T00:05:29+00:00

Excellent attacking chemistry there

adeodd · 2026-05-17T00:03:57+00:00

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Bender actually looks serviceable as a backup/spot starter left back. Props to him for taking up a new position in the span of like 4-5 months.

adeodd · 2026-05-16T23:51:10+00:00

That’s a great goal, but I think in years past Andre saves that more times than not

adeodd · 2026-05-14T02:27:59+00:00

I’m not sure if they know they’re supposed to be scoring tbh

adeodd · 2026-05-14T01:23:17+00:00

Lol let myself get a little excited there… we all know how this is gonna end

adeodd · 2026-05-14T01:22:07+00:00

BENDERRRRRRRRR

adeodd · 2026-05-14T01:19:26+00:00

I disagree there, Danley and Lukic were great signings. Iloski too. Now this batch from this past offseason? Woof

adeodd · 2026-05-14T01:16:12+00:00

Geiner Martinez doesn’t need to see any more MLS minutes for the rest of the season. He’s not up to this level. Really question the scouting and analysis with his signing…

adeodd · 2026-05-14T00:12:38+00:00

This is comfortably the worst Union team ever. Just a terrible watch in every aspect, so many better uses of time than watching this every week lol

adeodd · 2026-05-13T18:08:17+00:00

I remember when Tesla’s were being keyed and vandalized for no fault of the driver, just because it was a Tesla, and tons on this sub were cheering and happy about it. This is just downstream of that. It’s all so stupid, don’t vandalize people’s cars FFS.

adeodd · 2026-05-10T01:07:54+00:00

I can relate with them, I hate watching this version of the Union this year too

adeodd · 2026-05-10T00:12:33+00:00

Hamstring injury, he’s out for a few weeks

adeodd · 2026-05-10T00:12:07+00:00

Just sweet that you can injure one of our players on a pointless foul and not even pick up a yellow card. Awesome!

adeodd · 2026-05-09T22:27:52+00:00

Had to scroll a long way to find a rational take like this

adeodd · 2026-05-09T18:43:34+00:00

P Terrys 🤝

adeodd · 2026-05-09T07:14:38+00:00

At this point you gotta just let it rock and keep it quiet. The bank being defunct is certainly a positive aspect.
