Nycfc V St Mirren
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
I wouldn't have a problem if they played 5 more games than they are. We need all the experience possible before taking the field in March.
Not sure what you are asking.
Is it normal for any soccer/football club in the world to play pre-season games against quality opposition?
YES
Is NYCFC, a MLS expansion club, a soccer team?
YES
Therefore, yes it is normal.
St Mirren fan here, forum hopping in peace. Not going to the game myself, but looking forward to watching the game on your YouTube stream - great feature you have there.
The fixture seems to have captured the imagination of our fans, so we should be pretty loud in the stands, even if we're not quite as good quality wise on the pitch! That said, I'm sure our players will give you a competitive game at the very least. Our team, although struggling in the league, has been around for a long time - we never lose a game without fight.
Your club seems well supported and well organised, so best of luck this afternoon (or tonight, depending on where you are)

They'll get 12 subs, but the current rule on subs appears to be that each team can only stop play for substitutions on 3 occasions - so if you sub off 4 players at half time, then 2 after 60 minutes and 3 on the 80th, your remaining 3 subs can't come on.
I don't know if they'll stick to that but that's how it seems to be done at the top levels of the game these days.
I wasn't sure because it seemed like the OCSC game against DC was more of a friendly - This just seems different
Another Buddie sticking his head in here! Our team's in a bit of a state, but we've been relegation fodder since the early naughties and are still in the top flight of Scottish football. We're not very good but we can pull unexpected wins out the bag when they're needed.
In summary, the only reason we're still safe from the drop is two other Scottish clubs being far shitter than us. Motherwell FC, who finished 2nd last year, have suffered a complete collapse and are dive bombing down the table. Ross County FC, from the far north, just never got going and have some serious squad problems. Us on the other hand, apart from losing our best player to Aberdeen, are holding it together. We've made a few new signings and frankly need this game. They're untested and we would rather find out if they're crap against you guys than in our coming game on Saturday.
We're a small club, even by Scottish standards, with a group of homegrown players. Young lads who grew up in the area and have come from our academy mostly so it's great to see them develop. In 2013 we won the Scottish League Cup, knocking out Aberdeen, Hearts and Celtic (3 clubs historically far greater than ours) along the way, so it's not all doom and gloom!
[skip to 9:08 for one of the mentalist moments ever, it's us going 3-1 up against Scottish Champions and Champions League club Celtic]
With 138 years behind us, you've got some catching up to do, but we don't win anything very often so shouldn't take you guys too long to do that...
Anyway, enjoy the game guys and good luck with the coming season!

I'm reading these with my best Scottish accent ( gleaned from Mike Myers, of course) and they are great! Thanks for the game guys.
You have to put the secret special MLS spell on your prof. The magic words are:
KAKA-BUILTNOTBOUGHT-KAKA-FILLTHEBOWL-KAKA-ORLANDOCITY-KAKA!!!
Saying it 3 times will do the trick........and probably get you an A in the course, get your laundry done and bring world peace.
pretty excited for today!!!!..on another note, can somebody start a post after every match to rate the players on a 1-10 scale and adding some comments, then we can sum all our votes and get an average to each player. what you guys think?
Damn, looks like we're wearing our roadies today!
I'll get to watch the first half - I also follow Liverpool however so I'll have to flick over when they kick off :-/ Good luck for tonight!
ffuucckk seeing this on my phone got me so excited
What app is that on?
