Not a celebrity as such but I listen to TalkSport on SiriusXM and they have a reporter in the States for Saturday's match and he is then going to Seattle. TalkSport is a talk sports radio station out of London. His trip is being sponsored by MLS themselves. He is doing a report on the MLS in general but he/they are very keen to see NYCFC/LAG. Interviews with Lampard, Pirlo, Gerrard, etc. Even mentioned it was a star powered match AND in YS. Interested to hear his take on it next week.

Allow me a moment to vent.

FUCK THIS.

There are GREAT reporters out there that cover the team and MLS but we still feel the need to reach out to overseas people? Fuck, give EoS a scoop, throw a bone to Ives Galarcep, get Grant Wahl to cover the game for SI, not to mention the dozens of smaller shops that do this. These guys are trying to make a living, cover this team every day and get little to no love from the team.

Meanwhile the team's communications people salivate over having English press cover them. Your fans are New Yorkers. Stop trying to sell the team in London and Manchester and sell it in the NYC region.

You know how you can sell the league internationally? By getting Americans hyped up and excited about it, by having full stadiums. I'm glad they have AM New York doing a paragraph sized column on each player throughout the season but that's not nearly enough. Let the Daily News, NY Post and Newsday get interviews with these guys.

Let the players go on Podcasts. Villa is an incredible person and hardly anyone in NYC knows the man, get his god damn story out there ffs.

Agree that they could be doing more to grow media presence domestically, but don't see why they shouldn't be trying to grow international media presence too. Bandwidth aside, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I know a handful of people outside of New York and the USA who watch our games as regularly as we do (albeit on TV) and don't see why we shouldn't be expanding our reach.

Ummmm....... OK ...... Guess this hits a nerve.
Now back to game discussion.

I feel like they're not doing enough here at home. How hard is it to get a guy like Jason Hernandez who was born in NYC on Fox 5 in the morning? Or last year Wingert from LI and went to St. John's on News12.

Yeah, I needed to vent. It's frustrating because it's a dope experience but relatively few people in NYC know about it or have been.

Don't worry I get it.... No worries here!! Keep up the good work!

 

[canchon]

For the appeal, the team should have put together a video montage of coaches and players accosting officials post-game set to that So You Had a Bad Day song.

You could fill up the whole song with just a video of Jesse Marsch. That would actually be hilarious.

 

[danger]

Which is exactly why the league needs to come out and say what happened.

Not very many details but: http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/...-fines-caleb-porter-rejects-two-nycfc-appeals

"Vieira received a red card and was dismissed after the final whistle for irresponsible behavior. [...] [Chanot's] red card was issued at the conclusion of NYCFC's match against Columbus for foul and abusive language."

"Since each MLS club is entitled to two unsuccessful appeals this season, New York City FC will not be able to appeal any future dismissals during the 2016 season after the appeals for Vieira and Chanot were both denied."
Oops.

Seems like something where after we put in the appeals, MLS told us this rule.

Yeah, like you said....not many details.

What is "irresponsible behavior" and what was it about Chanot's abusive language after the match that made it worse than other abusive language that occurs after and during matches in which discipline is never issued?

Sometimes I'd like to see the players union have more of a voice in these matters such as the NFLPA does in player discipline matters (and maybe they have, just hasn't made it across within the media).

[Not arguing with you, just pointing out that nothing is really being said here by the league]

$25000 down the drain...

Anyone know if there will be a C'mon NY chant at the 5 minute mark? roxfontaine I thought that was a great idea and should be done every match.

Simply put, yes.

Jeezus, I hate sitting around waiting for it to be time to leave for the Stadium.

Maybe it's a product of all those years with season tix for the Giants, but man I hate these late afternoon matches.

The games should start at 1:00, like God meant them to!

 

[LionNYC]

Man City beat Stoke 4-1 and Burnley beat Liverpool 2-0. It's a sign!

To be fair, EOS gets tons of scoops, and covers the team regardless of whether an English reporter is there. This seems to be in addition to our local reporters.

Also, the major newspapers don't want to do anything with MLS. It's annoying because most other teams have at least one beat writer hovering around, but NYCFC (and the Red Bulls, for that matter) have some of the worst local coverage in the league. And it's because many of our local newspapers and media outlets want nothing to do with MLS. And that's not going to change no matter how much NYCFC reaches out to them.

It's very hard if the news outlet doesn't want to do the story. They've got more important things to worry about, in their mind, than NYCFC. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. We won't start to see better news coverage until our city's media outlets determine it's worth covering. Hockey deals with the exact same issues, though not to the extent NYCFC does.

Definitely enjoying being at the stadium in my Everton jersey after their 2-1 win over West Brom and getting to smile at all the people wearing Liverpool gear after their 2-0 loss to Burnley. Helps that a lot of them seem to be LAG fans to boot.

 

[JayH]

Hundreds of LPool fans here.

Still on the subway and I already hate LA Galaxy fans. I know LA has disaster subways but Learn how to public transit you slow walking, door blocking weirdos.
