Game #9:FIRE vs Philadelphia 5/11/13 12:30pm (NBCSN)

[firefan2001]

Well we have two weeks before our next game. Since it's not working with the same players Frankie is using, it's time to put some new blood out there.

Our bencg isn't that deep so there isn't going to that many changes Frankie could make, but there are some. Two or three changes plus stop playing a defensive lineup, just might do it.

Here's would I'd like for the May 11th game, not that it's ever going to happen.....

Hoping the league overturns the Larentowicz red card and makes him eligible to play this game.

I'll be up in the press box again, hope we move closer to a playoff spot

Hoping the league overturns the Larentowicz red card and makes him eligible to play this game.

Not going to happen and if we appeal and lose the appeal Larentowicz's suspension doubles to two games.



1.Prior to the start of the 2013 Regular Season, each of the 19 MLS clubs posted a $25,000 refundable bond with the League Office for the right to make up to two (2) unsuccessful appeals.
1.
If an appeal is upheld (i.e., successful), then the Red Card punishment will be rescinded

2.
If an appeal is rejected, then the Red Card punishment (and any supplemental discipline should it be administered by the MLS Disciplinary Committee) will stand and the Club will have lost one of its two allotted appeals for the Season.

3.
If an appeal is deemed frivolous by the independent panel reviewing the case, then the bond will be forfeited and the Club will further lose the right to appeal any other decisions in that League Season and the next one. Further, the Red Card punishment of the player will be doubled (i.e., an automatic suspension of two (2) games)

1.
Within 24 hours of the completion of a match, Clubs will need to send written notice to the League Office detailing the rationale for the appeal and include any and all evidence (e.g., video, photography, written statements, other) supporting the appeal.

Well looks like it's going to be a Pause and Paladini pairing in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Philadelphia.

Bullshit

Bullshit

What are you saying? You don't like us playing a two defensive midfielder lineup at HOME, I love how we play so defensive at HOME. I could almost see us playing like that on the road (almost), but at home WTF.

I meant the non-overturn, but ya, that too.

Gameday, heading out to Toyota Park in a couple hours.

Guess the Fire are debuting a #cf97TunnelCam now, before the game starts (an hour before, 11:30 CT)

 

[Jntg4]

Just about game time here at Toyota Park.

Disheartening loss

 

[firefan2001]

PIT-A-FUL

Losing 1-0 at home Frankie brings in his LAST sub and he takes out Paladini instead of Pause (more of a offensive player than Pause).

It's time.....FIRE Frank........

Did anyone else see Maricon Santos dodge the ball in front of the net at the end of stoppage time??

I couldn't tell from the press box, angle makes it look more cluttered over there, you guys probably had a better zoom with the TV then I'd assume.
