Apparently they sit in the Manager's Box seats behind the visiting team bench at RBA. Guess who has tickets there too for the NYCFC vs. RB game on June 24th? This guy.

I wish I was there with you.

Love the team's reaction when McNamara walks into the locker room freshly shorn.

Jesus, you buy $1500 Father's day presents? What line of work are you in?

And if Drogba wasn't suspended for dealing with the Moss brothers last year, Vieira should not receive a suspension this year

I swear he's been told to be a like-for-like replacement for Mata. Sweat has some really nice moves going forward.

I do think this is worth acknowledging - I'm not gonna defend Sweat defensively, it is as bad as Midas says. And I didn't see the last game. But vs. New England, I saw him making consistently smart forward passes. It was his pass to Villa that set up the goal after all. If White made those kinds of passes Harrison would have another 3 goals.

My first post is not going to be about the game. It's going to be about something off the field that stood out as the lowlight of the season. If you know who I am in real life, or at least on Twitter, I posted this publicly. Because for it to happen is irresponsible.

Vince and Vance Moss, surgeons who live in New Jersey and served in our military. They are also public in MLS circles as Red Bull fans and more notably as arrogant ones. See last year, them getting in the face of Didier Drogba...

These two individuals have a history of accosting opposing players and coaches.

They were in attendance today. I noticed them in the Legends suite sitting with another Pitchside season ticket holder who I've seen at many games in the past. Based on this, I'd say that they were invited by this individual. They were dressed in sport coats and wearing Philadelphia Union scarves. As an NYCFC fan, I would never wear the scarf of another team to a match.

Before the game, Jim Curtin comes over to the NYCFC side of the field and shakes their hand. Does Curtin know who they really are? I can't answer that. But they were rooting for the Union and wearing Union scarves, so there's that.

They're fine during the course of the game, not making any scenes.

Then comes the Union goal. One of the brothers, I cannot tell which one, leaves PS1 which is the one closer to the corner flag and makes his way, Union scarf above his head, toward PS2 in the direction of the NYCFC bench. He gets as close as he can to Vieira and starts saying some language and in a manner that would "cross the line". Vieira turns around and responds with some kind language himself. Moss continues to accost Vieira and Vieira steps over the video boards. They are face to face as the NYCFC and Yankee Stadium security come to separate them. Nothing gets physical. Patrick goes back to the NYCFC bench, the Moss brothers goes back to his seat with Yankee Stadium security nearby him.

Vieira is likely to see a suspension, maybe multiple games, for leaving the bench/tactical area and entering a fan section.

Though, these brothers have a history and continually create a hostile environment where some worse can happen if escalated. And this continued behavior by them needs to be addressed by the league office. You can't have fans like them continued to be allowed to accost players in the manner in which they do.

After we scored the first goal, Vieira had his fist in the air and looked right at these guys. After the game, same thing. Vieira and Curtin spoke after the game, and I think Vieira said something to Jim about these guys. Jim Curtin then went back over to these guys after the game and said something.

I get angry, I get heated at referees and opposing players and coaches. But I never swear, never accost, never get into confrontation. It's sporting fun and in good taste. "Do your job" to referees. "Sit down" to opposing coaches. "Never forget 2014" to Wondo.

They create hostile environments, are aggressors, and agitators. I would ban these individuals from all MLS stadiums, games, and events.

As Drogba said in the article, these guys needs to be more respectful or in my opinion never be allowed to come to an MLS game again.

This is really upsetting to hear. What a couple of assholes. What kind of things were they saying? You don't have to be specific, but a general idea would be helpful.

I think you need to write the Club a letter describing what you saw and emphasizing that as a season ticket holder at the highest possible level you do not expect to be subjected to such a scene. I would copy the league. These guys should not be allowed back in Yankee Stadium, ever. If they were brought there by an NYCFC season ticket holder, his tickets should be revoked. Securitas needs to explain why they didn't toss those guys out immediately.

Why are people surprised LionNYC buys expensive seats on StubHub for an away game when he has a pair of Pitchside seats that cost about $15k for the year?

LionNYC could you and your Dad does us all a favor and suit up like these ass hats when you sit behind the Red Bull bench? Sunglasses at night, the whole 9 and obnoxiously raise your scarves throughout the match while heckling Jesse?

if he wears his typical 4 scarves to the game, it'll be the same....

Sorry, Garret. I hope you made it home okay. My wife said it was mean of me to let you think you knew what you were doing.

Midas Mulligan My girlfriend was impressed with your ability to use the term 'gobble' so eloquently on multiple occasions hahaha

Sit bench the Red Bull bench? They sit behind the away bench, that's where I am sitting. I support my own team more than I like to heckle the opponents. They have a different agenda. And my not dressing like them, jabronis.

LionNYC needs to go Full Kit Wanker

Doubtful.

One scarf. Raised high, obnoxiously. I only wear one scarf now a game after the playoff debacle of four scarves. The only exception is for July 4th weekend games where I also bring along a US scarf for the national anthem.
