    NYCFC Season Discussion 2024: The Definition of NYCFC is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over and Getting the Same Result

    Great stuff... also depressing to see how tough the close will be. Maybe our view of that changes as the season progresses and teams rise and fall. Regarding the HRD, the outcomes in 2022 were great, but let's not forget 2017 when we won 2 and tied 1, with 2 of 3 games away. I count that as a...

    NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2024

    NY1 needs to do more for sure. I feel like the coverage from any particular outlet depends in large part on whether the sports editor there is a younger more forward thinking editor or a Neanderthal that reflexively acts to avoid anything to do with soccer.

    So, this little back and forth compelled me to go back and watch for myself. I think you have to account for the split second between when the referee decides to blow the whistle and when the whistle actually sounds. The whistle goes off a moment after the ball leaves Sullivan's foot, after...

    The difference is that each foot has to at least touch the line, and I thought it was only one. If that's the photo of the throw, it's awfully close.

    I haven’t seen the “foul throw” but as long as the thrower had at least one part of one foot on the line, he’s fine. A player can step as far into the field as he wants as long as he is touching the line.

    But his was a youth call up, which clubs can always refuse.

    Interesting. He shouldn't qualify for Young DP status this season because he turned 24 in January. If he's a Young DP, then he only hits the cap at $200,000. If not, he hits at $683,500. So, if they were to buy him down with TAM/GAM to free up an extra U-22 or DP spot, it would hit the...

    I wonder when the visa issue first popped up. Is this one of those things where he had to leave the country to get it sorted, which is why they let him play for Serbia's youth team? Or did he go over there at a time when he shouldn't have, and now it's causing problems? I tend to think it's...

    Well, the Stadium Thread is always at its slowest when people are discussing the stadium instead of something else.

    I could be wrong, but I think the contract for Magno (and maybe Martins too) will have him out of DP status after this season. This is Magno's 4th and I think the amortization of his acquisition costs don't go more than 4 years. Also, Santi doesn't seem to have a very high salary, so I wonder...
