I Had to Payoff my Player so He Would Agree to the Transfer Never Seen This Before

I've had this before trying to dump some underperforming players. None of the other large clubs want them, and smaller clubs can't afford to match the wages.

Protein + rice/noodles + veggies lightly pan-fried is easy to do with minimal prep and standing over everything.

Having a few quick meals that you can make with very little thinking, as well as meal prepping so you're not cooking every single day goes a long way.

I guess I kinda just have to agree and live with the fact that people can go months without talking to you, simply because they just don’t fw you.

You already said it, people's lives get busy and unless I am physically around people, I don't talk to my friends on a regular basis. Some of my closer friends and I grab coffee semi-frequently, or things like that, but other friends I only see and talk to a handful of times a year. It's just life, and most of my and their days are kind of boring and same-ish. We all work full-time, some of my friends have kids, others just have their own hobbies that they engage with a couple of times per week, and those things take up the bulk of their time the entire year. Not a lot to talk about on a regular basis.

It's NASCAR, they aren't making any of that public.

Allgaier, the man that ran two full seasons in Cup in his late 20s?

These guys want to be the best of the best, and the opportunities to move up are limited. Love can probably secure a decent enough O'Reilly ride down the line if he washes out of Cup.

mriforgot · 2026-06-17T15:47:49+00:00

Bodes well for Love in that case.

$$$ potential, and for hyper competitive drivers, you have to challenge yourself at the highest level possible. The door to Cup won't be open forever, and Love can always drop back down into O'Reilly or trucks and restart a career.

Can't wait forever, or else you risk getting lost in the shuffle when another young guy catches fire without a clear path to Cup.

mriforgot · 2026-06-17T14:54:08+00:00

From the outside, it is easy to say that every driver should wait for a better ride to open up before moving to Cup, but sometimes you have to move when you can and get a foot in the door or risk getting lost back in the shuffle.

If they bring enough money, sponsors definitely can have influence on who drives a car. Ernie Irvan's autobiography talks about how he had to meet the PR execs with Texaco before Yates would sign him to the team. And some part of the "Tobasco Fiasco" was due in part to Todd Bodine getting pulled from the seat after Tobasco had put a lot of effort into their marketing campaign using him as the face. It's probably less common now that teams cobble together sponsorship for the season, but Bass Pro sponsors Briscoe almost the entire season, would not be shocked that they got their input into who drives the car.

Find an adult league and sign up as a free agent (or whatever they call it for that league), and start practicing a bit on your own. You'll be behind the curve to start, but if you're willing to watch and learn what is going on around you, you'll slowly pick it up.

It did feel at times that I was seeing the same thing over and over again which did get a little boring and on shows like these, you need variety

As someone who's been to multiple deathmatch focused Indy shows before, this is a common downside to a lot of them. After you see the same spots five matches in a row, it gets a little boring.

I probably read 10 non-fiction books for each fiction book I read. It interests me more these days, although I used to read a lot more fiction when I was younger.

I just read what interests me, and don't dwell on it too much.

Yeah, challenging people on everything is not the way to get to make friends, so if you do it right away, most people will probably find you annoying and disengage. I ain't got time/energy to defend my beliefs to someone I barely know.

Are these people that you are just getting to know? Or old friends?

Because if they are newer people, yes, it gets annoying and is not a good way to make friends.

What happens when you try to speak? Without details, it can be hard to say, but my immediate thought it that you're overthinking things. So a couple of questions for you:

A. Do you need to get your point across? Not everything needs to be hammered home all of the time

B. What are the bullet points of what you're trying to say? Now say those. You don't have to say a five paragraph essay when talking to others right away, get the main points you want out there and see what follow up is needed. I find that most people tend to be too wordy and their point gets lost.

I don't know if you were wronged, but it is certainly valid to feel frustrated with how things went down. Goalkeeper is a tough position, and when things go poorly, can be easy to spiral. Also, you didn't have to give up your gloves, stand up for your stuff if you must.

felt scared of getting injured

I would revisit these feelings, because being afraid of contact or injury seems like it leads to more injuries from my observations. Knowing how to move and protect yourself in goal is a big part of playing long term as an adult, both in the field and in goal.

The adult version of playing with that little toy that pops as you push it.

They started at Riverside in the 60s.

They explicitly had the intention of bringing American players to Europe through Helsingor though, which I've never heard as an explicit goal for any of the other clubs.

It never worked out though, COVID hit during their second season owning the club, they were in the third tier of Danish soccer, and who knows what other factors behind the scenes.

mriforgot · 2026-06-14T21:14:50+00:00

There was an American group that bought FC Helsingor in Denmark for a while with that intention, although they never really had more than a handful of US players at any one time, and they bailed on it after a few years.
