Also, a couple of negative points...Tinnerholm, Ofori and Wallace were terrible. And I normally love Tinnerholm and like Ofori

Never seen a worse reffed match. Never. Every call went RB’s way and Lawrence and Lade were candidates for reds. There was also a foul by Adams that was suspect. With Unkle Geiger and That third fcker Ref that always has it in for us, all doing this game, it was always going to be 90min of jaded calls one way and “fair” play the other.
Nah. Ted Unkel handed them a point. That second red was a total joke.
Agree 100% Foul and a yellow? Sure. But a red? Two players running at full speed. No intent. Pure accidental. Never EVER a red.
Berget would’ve buried it. Anybody would have but the one forward on the team that doesn’t score. Berget’s injury was a gut punch
Well this is my question...

We should have lost. We should have won. Laugh at me all you want, but if we play with heart like that... damn. We’ll be alright.
At the end when the mini-balls were thrown into the SS, Wallace tried kicking his and shanked it behind the smoke stacks.... perfect.
Glad I made the snap decision to attend this one.
Hopefully it can serve as a rallying/turning point for the club. We sure need a kick in the pants.
I'm sure that's what the narrative will be going forward, but if we play better down the stretch it's more likely to be due to an easier schedule.

NYCFC for stealing a point down two men. Seriously, bravo. well done
This mentality, I don't know man. Wallace missed a sitter, sure, but without him as an aerial outlet after Berget goes off, and without him tracking back like he did, we get absolutely fucking battered tonight. I know there's some people who wish we played Lewis, Poku and Mix up front every week, and I'm as disappointed by Wallace's finishing as the next guy, but how about you give some credit to how hard Wallace worked tonight, rather than bury him for not magically turning into a deadly #9 out of necessity. He was a third (fourth? fifth?) choice emergency striker ffs.
RIP, Eloi Amagat's NYCFC career. We hardly new ye.
Berget's cameo tonight was nothing short of phenomenal and we would have won the game handily had we stayed on.
Credit to Dome for getting a point out of a derby where almost everything that could have gone wrong did. Not quite sure why we kept pushing for a winner (even though it honestly looked like we'd get one!), but with that end-to-end stuff at the end, I enjoyed the most madcap derby yet.
Also this is my question... “where is VAR?”
Today’s match was the best example of “a ref will not double check his decision” because he was too stubborn with his decision.

Something that really bugged me tonight was our propensity to cross the ball on the ground in the box behind the players crashing the net. We typically never have more than one forward in the box, and tonight there were usually three running, and instead of low pinging crosses that they could run on to for the deflection shot, Tinny kept cutting the ball back behind the runners, repeatedly. Sweat did it at the end of the match. Just bang it in and hope for a ricochet if not a clean hit - that’s what Villa’s cross was, and if not for Wallace, it’s have been perfect.
Analysis aside, that second half was fucking thrilling.
And David Villa knows how to curse in English. At the end of that extra quarter they tacked on he was screaming at the refs to blow the whistle “that’s fucking enough, it’s fucking over” or something like that. It was beautiful. I fucking love that guy.

I thought Villa might headbutt the ref at some point
I also thought Ibeagha had a great game

This is not getting rescinded. He cleated his Achilles.
Unkel was terrible in many other ways, and there’s an argument that wasn’t bad enough for a second red, but it’s not getting overruled.
Ofori didn't tackle BWP. That's two men running for a ball and BWP hits it away and tries to slow himself but Ofori is still going forward and happens to hit is hoot down where BWP stuck his leg. Not a red card for me.
Was going to scream "Adam!" as you passed by me going out of your section (right where you exited the section I was standing right above you lol.) but I figured it'd be awkward at the timing of the game so I didn't.
Yes, we could have won it. No we should not have won it. Not two men down. We shouldn’t even have drawn. A win would have been amazing. But I can’t complain about a draw under the circumstances.
