And only a fucking yellow card. Allen Chapman has a place in referee hell reserved for him.

I would not be surprised if Molly is right about the 7:50 but wrong about 6:20 and if doors open at 6pm. It's a fair certainty that kickoff is not 7:30. Any time from 7:35 to 7:50 is believable.Legends opens at 6:00 PM. I guess they're trying something new. (Also, there's a speaker series event with CFG CEO Ferran Soriano). The NYCFC.com/matchday page still says 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM kickoff.

So I couldn't remember when I was watching it live whether or not Fuenmayor received a card at all for this.And only a fucking yellow card. Allen Chapman has a place in referee hell reserved for him.
This is getting like Vieira and OGC Nice.Join us on June 2nd for Pride Night vs. Orlando City SC:
- 6:00 PM: Doors open to the general public.
- Stop by the corner of 161st St. and River Ave. for City Beats pre and post-match performances.
- Be sure to stop by the Fan Zone, now located on the Masterpass® Deck for free face painting, balloon artists, and a GIF station; which will include special Pride-themed designs and photo opportunities.
- 6:50 PM: Your Boys in Blue take the pitch for warmups.
- 7:20 PM: Be in your seats as pre-match ceremonies begin and we announce the starting XI.
- 7:30 PM: Have your scarves ready as the Tunnel of Honor leads NYC’s team onto the pitch. The Tunnel of Honor will include members of the NYPD’s Gay Officers Action League (GOAL) and the teams will be accompanied onto the pitch by special Pride-themed procession flags.

- 7:36 PM: Get set for kickoff as we ceremoniously set off the smoke stacks, which will be wrapped in the colors of the Pride flag.
- 7:38 PM: Kick-off!
I think it was just delayed. It took a while for YH to be treated then carried off, and I think Chapman, the official scorekeeper, or both, waited to see if VAR would suggest a review that never came.So I couldn't remember when I was watching it live whether or not Fuenmayor received a card at all for this.
Now, checking the timeline, I'm still not certain, but perhaps the timeline is wrong.
11' Stoppage in match due to Yangel Herrera injury
14' Stoppage over
14' Substitution: Tommy McNamara on for Yangel Herrera (BARF)
16' Fuenmayor shown yellow card
16' David Villa shot attempt saved
Why was the yellow so much later? Or is there just a lag in when it was announced?

1. Herrera needed to be stretchered off the field.I think it was just delayed. It took a while for YH to be treated then carried off, and I think Chapman, the official scorekeeper, or both, waited to see if VAR would suggest a review that never came.
I understand he needed to be stretchered off, but Tommy didn't sub on until he was stretchered off, and the timeline shows the card was issued 2 minutes after Tommy came on.1. Herrera needed to be stretchered off the field.
2. Chapman did video review the incident and gave him a yellow card. So bullshit.
I hope Chanot is back in the starting XI for this game. I don’t think Ibeagha has been bad, but I think Chanot is a better CB
Accuweather has 50% chance thunderstorms at 7pm, showers at 9-10pm. Another beautiful NYCFC game day.
