1
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.079
That's a good start, John, wait to go thirty seconds
2
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.760
of absolute dead air. That was fantastic. You know you've
3
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.359
done a morning person went all right, let's try that again,
4
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.759
morning man. I haven't even had you know, our first guest.
5
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:36.719
He's already working on probably his second or third cup
6
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.679
of coffee. I barely have started my mountain. Do you
7
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.039
start five minutes early? And this is what happens. Welcome
8
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.719
to Tuesday thoughts, John, hear you there. It's SDHAM and
9
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.159
it's one of those days where you knock on somebody's
10
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.439
door and it is really cool sometimes when they open it.
11
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.000
Because batting lead off in a know dilly no Deli zone.
12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.520
I know that those of you in the twitch pitch
13
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.240
have questions. I got questions. We got him for about
14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.439
twenty minutes and then he's off racing through the rest
15
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.480
of his day. It is Senior Director of Match Officials
16
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.560
at the Professional Referees Organization otherwise known as PRO. It
17
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.680
is Mark Geiger, and he gets to answer our questions
18
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.840
here on Tuesday, Mark, So what cup of coffee are
19
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:15.159
you on?
20
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.159
Actually it's only my first, John, so not too bad.
21
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.319
Okay, Well, first off, thanks for taking the time because
22
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.120
I know that a lot of folks who watch the sport,
23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.000
especially here domestically, they got a lot of questions about
24
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.040
what's going on. Are you ready, sir?
25
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.640
I am ready. Let's do this all right?
26
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.560
So my first question for you is, when it comes
27
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.680
to the officials in Major League Soccer here in twenty
28
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.200
twenty five, how would you grade their overall performance this year?
29
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.079
I think we started off pretty well. There were a
30
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.359
couple of rocky weekends that we had coming out of
31
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.159
the gate, you know, and that's going to happen for
32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.799
clubs and teams and players, you know, getting shaken off
33
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.159
the rust a little bit. But past few weekends have
34
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.280
been really strong collectively. You know, we're always going to
35
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.319
have situation to talk about, you know, debatable decisions that
36
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.959
are made, But overall, I think things have gone well.
37
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:11.439
When it comes to pairing sets of officials, whether it's
38
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.879
V R A v A R and the folks that
39
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.960
are on the on the pitch, how far in advance
40
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.599
do you sit there and look at pairings and go, okay,
41
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.680
I want this group with this group, or is how
42
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.520
do you how do you determine who's upstairs and who's
43
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:23.960
on the pitch?
44
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.960
Yeah, we release the assignments to the officials about three
45
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.800
weeks in advance, you know, and we start really one
46
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.240
month ahead of time, looking at the fixtures, looking at
47
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.800
personalities in the game, what the demands are, and then
48
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.840
what referee is going to have the best personality and
49
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.199
have the greatest chance of success on each game. So
50
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.319
we're not just picking names out of a hat and
51
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.960
putting them onto the onto the field or in the
52
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.159
in the Excel spreadsheet. We're actually trying to pair them
53
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.919
up for to be as successful as possible for the game.
54
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.280
So, you know, when it comes to levels of experience, obviously,
55
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.439
how much does that play into it too, where you
56
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.879
want to try to have you know, even distribution of
57
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.479
experience in Major League soccer upstairs and downstairs.
58
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.719
Yeah, there are games where it's going to demand a
59
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.680
senior crew on the game, and then there are some
60
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.120
games that we think with the personality the players and
61
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.680
the demands that the game is, we anticipate, you know,
62
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.520
somebody that maybe lesser experience can can be very successful
63
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.800
in the game. You know, when we have newer referees, yes,
64
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.520
they will have experienced assistan referees or experienced var so
65
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.080
we do do some pairing in that from that standpoint,
66
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.520
but for the most part, these are all professional match officials.
67
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.039
They've come through the ranks, they're very experienced by the
68
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.800
time they even get to MLS. So we're confident with
69
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.680
all one hundred plus officials that we have on our roster.
70
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.240
Yeah, you mentioned the levels of confidence. How do you
71
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.000
maintain I guess this is a two part question, My
72
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.280
first two part question of the day. How do you
73
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.560
maintain levels of education when it comes to laws of
74
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.560
the game to make sure that everybody's on the same
75
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.000
page and that they know. Okay, here's how this has
76
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.360
to be administered going forward forward on a year by
77
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.479
year basis. When it comes to the schedule.
78
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.639
Yeah, we meet with all the referees in Dallas. We
79
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.240
get together every few weeks and we look over the situations,
80
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.000
the most critical situations that we've had from the past
81
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.520
few match rounds. So that's how we really ensure that
82
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.160
we have as much consistency as possible and how how
83
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.600
the game is called. You know, you certainly want to
84
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.879
have the same level of experience, the same level of
85
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.959
application of law throughout. So really getting together on that
86
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.319
monthly basis is really important for.
87
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.879
Our match officials when you have older newer when it's
88
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.240
when there when there is a when there's a bit
89
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.160
of a bell curve. When it comes to level of
90
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.800
experience upstairs versus downstairs, how much of a watchful eye
91
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.319
do you have from the league office and from your
92
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.839
perch to sit there and it's like, okay, I need
93
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.879
the two of you to handle this properly. I don't
94
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.839
want one level of experience, whether that person is downstairs
95
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.439
as center refer upstairs as var I don't want that
96
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.839
person to try and make sure that there isn't any
97
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.399
you know, unconscious steering. I guess for of results. You
98
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.959
don't want to have a younger official intimidated from speaking
99
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.759
up in a situation, whether they're upstairs or down the stairs.
100
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.079
Yeah, the the lesser experienced officials, we expect them to
101
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.319
lead if they're the referee. The referee is the captain
102
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.879
of their teams. So even if everyone around them are
103
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.560
the most experienced officials that we have in our roster,
104
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.360
we still expect that lesser experience official to lead their
105
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.480
team throughout the game, prior to the game and post
106
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.439
game as well. I don't think any of them are
107
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.279
really intimidated by the league looking in or we're we're
108
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.800
watching all the games, we're able to listen into the audio,
109
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.160
and I don't think that intimidates them at all because
110
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.199
in the end, everything that we're doing is there to
111
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.920
make them better, you know, for the game and for
112
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:48.399
themselves as well.
113
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:55.000
So when you have these the consistent evaluation processes, what
114
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.560
goes into this constructive criticism to where it is constructive
115
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.800
criticism And the officials, whether they're experienced or not, they
116
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.519
don't sit there and take it too personally.
117
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.879
No, it's always it's always constructive. So every single game
118
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.240
is assessed. Every single official on the crew is assessed
119
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:17.199
by an independent evaluator. So they'll go through positioning, movement, teamwork,
120
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.279
match control, game management, player management. They'll look at all
121
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.319
those different aspects for the assistan referees, offside decisions for
122
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.519
var whether they recommend a review or not, really going
123
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.160
down into the process that they take. So every single
124
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.959
referee or official gets a score at the end of
125
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.800
the game. But there's also the key match Incidents score,
126
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.399
which is done by the pro management of the panel
127
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.439
that will evaluate each situation and decide if it was
128
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.319
correct or incorrect, and then there's constant feedback with the
129
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.920
officials who phone calls, zoom in person meetings, so the
130
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.920
managers are each working with their officials to really get
131
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.439
the best out of them for their next game.
132
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:56.839
I was going to ask, what's the turnaround time with
133
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.800
that evaluation where Okay, there's a match day and then
134
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.839
outside of the constant zooms and everything, is it that
135
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.560
every couple of weeks you get evaluated outside of the
136
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.399
constant zooms or what's the turnaround time?
137
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.560
Oh, they'll get they'll get their feedback that week from
138
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.879
every single game, So the assessor will talk to them
139
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.560
before a Wednesday. The KMI panel key Match Incident Panel
140
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.240
will then evaluate on Wednesdays, and they receive their written
141
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.920
feedback on Fridays. So during that next week they're getting
142
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.800
with their managers and talking with them about their performances.
143
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.879
If there is a if there is an official that
144
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.959
I'll use the word worrisome for lack of a better word.
145
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.279
If there is if there is an official or whether
146
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.759
you know they're an AR primarily or if they're a
147
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.720
center f or if they're a var what is the
148
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.319
path toward improvement? If all of the analysis and the
149
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.120
evaluation is worrisome to pro Yeah, well.
150
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.439
We have a couple options that we can do. We
151
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.600
have since we service so many different leagues. We can
152
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.680
certainly put somebody down into the second division or third
153
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.879
division if they really need some rehabilit politation, let's say,
154
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.040
but that's something that's not done very often at all.
155
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.959
We may pair them with some more senior officials to
156
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.680
help them through their next few matches, you know. But
157
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.879
really it's all about building up their confidence and getting
158
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.160
to back out on the field with correct decisions. You know.
159
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.360
We don't want to take severe action, like we could
160
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.480
always remove somebody from their next assignment. Yes, that's done
161
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.000
a few times each year because of something so controversial.
162
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.680
But for the most part, most of the decisions, if
163
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.759
there's some errors, they're subjective, they're gray, you know. We're
164
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.360
just looking for something a little bit different, small tweak
165
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:35.919
that they can apply in their next game.
166
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.840
Okay, so since you mentioned gray, let me get into
167
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.639
deliberate action here. Yeah, I do want to double back
168
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.440
and talk about promotion and things like that, and getting
169
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.559
from USL from you know, wherever you go to higher
170
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.279
divisions and things like that. I do want to get
171
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.600
to that. But deliberate action has come up in the
172
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:58.120
last couple of weeks different games, and how does I
173
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.000
guess how do you through laws of the game slash
174
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.480
pro view deliberate action. How do you sit there and say, yes,
175
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.600
that is deliberate action? What is your definition?
176
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.799
You know, it's interesting. This is something that's it's very
177
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.080
rare in the games first off, so to have two
178
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.960
weeks in a row of very similar situations is pretty
179
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:21.000
pretty unique. FIFA and the IFAB had put out some
180
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.240
guidance on this a couple of years ago which kind
181
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.000
of swung the pendulm a little bit. They were saying
182
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.480
that we would look at reaction versus action, and anytime
183
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.399
there was an action, officials were saying that it was
184
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.399
a deliberate play and so offside wouldn't come in. But
185
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.879
they said it really wasn't fair for defenders because they
186
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.080
were trying to challenge for a ball where they had
187
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.679
absolutely no real opportunity to really control it, you know,
188
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.759
So they swung the pendulum back a little bit, and
189
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.200
they're looking for a fit of They're looking for players
190
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.559
to have control of their body where they can control,
191
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.759
possess or clear the ball comfortably, you know, So if
192
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.039
they have to stretch for the ball, they have to
193
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.559
reach for the ball, or they're not balanced, then it's
194
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.720
not going to be looked at as a deliberate play,
195
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.720
even though it might be an intentional or a deliberate action.
196
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.120
So in the situation Atlanta, New England, in the situation
197
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.919
Saint Louis, Vancouver, both of those situations the player stretching
198
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.200
or the defender stretching for the ball, so really no
199
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.840
possibility or no expectation that they can truly control the ball.
200
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.159
So the expected decision in those situations is offside.
201
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.840
So the effort by the defender, if I'm interpreting this correctly,
202
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.360
so that the effort by the defender to make a
203
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.759
deliberate action to stop the ball in its progress doesn't
204
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.480
necessarily apply. It has to do with controlling of the
205
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.240
action and wherever you know, it's like exactly.
206
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.279
And really it comes down to expectation as well, expectation
207
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.919
of control. So just if a player is just pour
208
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.720
at what they're doing and can't control it, but there's
209
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.159
an expectation that they would control it based on the
210
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.720
speed of the ball it's on the ground, as opposed
211
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.279
to in the air. Then there there's no forgiveness, you know,
212
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.000
then it's going to be still seen as a deliberate play.
213
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.399
But again in these situations that we had these past
214
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.960
few weeks, in both of those there was no expectation
215
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.120
of them to actually be able to control the ball
216
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.559
because they had to reach for it. So that's why
217
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.720
we saw the video reviews in both situations.
218
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.120
For the off side halftime with Mark Geiger, here is
219
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.720
he has parachuted into SDHAM and we're discussing everything pro
220
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.240
and calls and pros and cons and calls and everything
221
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.480
in between as he has his first cup of coffee
222
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.840
and I have my first cup of Mountain dew. If
223
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.000
deliberate action is leader in the clubhouse right now. When
224
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.039
it comes to the one, the one particular law of
225
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.000
the game where fans have the most hue and cry,
226
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.679
is there a second one that is the one that
227
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.039
is the most tackled, so to speak. When it comes
228
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:45.639
to pro.
229
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.639
Well, I think it's going to be handball. You know.
230
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.559
Handball is probably one of the most difficult situations that
231
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.279
we deal with every single every single weekend. You know,
232
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.639
I'd probably talk about handball with coaches and clubs more
233
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.600
than any other topic. You know, there's so much subjectivity.
234
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.960
What's now, what's unnatural, what's justifiable? What's the intent of
235
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.440
the player, even though we're not supposed to talk about intent.
236
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.080
So that that's one that's always been a hot topic
237
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.399
and something that we talk about a lot within within
238
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.600
our group and trying to achieve as much consistency as possible.
239
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:17.360
I was going to say, so, what is what is
240
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.759
the talk like at the table? What everybody has their
241
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.759
you know, their hot tear, their their cup of coffee.
242
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.600
What what are the talking points here?
243
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.240
Well, each situation is different, so it's really just trying
244
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.799
to decide what the what the player is doing, what
245
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.000
the defender is doing in most cases, since we really
246
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.240
talk about it in the penalty area, and are they
247
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.240
trying to block or is what they're doing completely natural
248
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.080
for a player that's challenging for the ball.
249
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.000
When it comes to var in and of itself, do
250
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.799
you have referees that want to have that as their
251
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.240
natural track? Do you have folks that don't want to
252
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.960
do anything on the field, they just want to be
253
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.919
in a booth someplace, uh? Or do you have boats
254
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.600
sides where you may have those those referees that may
255
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.840
not necessarily physically you know, have the meet the markers
256
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.559
when it comes to tracking eight miles a match that
257
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.720
may gravitate toward wanting to be upstairs and be that
258
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.120
expert counsel in var. Do you have both of those
259
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.600
folks heading to the booth these days?
260
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.759
I think I think it's a little bit of everything.
261
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.120
You know. You have officials that have been on the
262
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.480
field for many years and have retired from the field,
263
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.559
and they see this as an opportunity to continue in
264
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.559
the professional game.
265
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:30.799
You know.
266
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.879
So you have just to call out one name, Kevin Stott,
267
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.480
who was on the field since year one. You know,
268
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.320
it was it was time for him to hang up
269
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.519
his boots, but now he's one of our most experienced VARs.
270
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.879
We also have a crop of officials of video match
271
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.639
officials that are on their way up the system, you know.
272
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.000
So they may be working USL or working NWSL matches
273
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.279
and while they're looking to move forward, this is an opportunity.
274
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.960
They're very good at analyzing video, they're very good at considerations,
275
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.240
so we give them an opportunity to booth and it's
276
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.279
it's a good introduction to MLS. The players, the referees,
277
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.320
and what the expectations are by having them in the
278
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.320
in the v o R.
279
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.080
So when you have these kinds of when you when
280
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.039
you when pro is what it is. And right now
281
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.519
Major League Soccer has the crews that are available to
282
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.960
it with that you assign on a on a weekly
283
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.799
basis or you know, once a month ahead of time.
284
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.960
How do you gauge the that next wave of individuals
285
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.200
who are either in NWSL or USL Championship or League one?
286
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.320
How how do you how do how does pro view promotion?
287
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.759
And we've already talked about relegation to an agree, but
288
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.720
how do you do view promotion when it comes to
289
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.360
officials getting ready to the next level.
290
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.679
Yeah, we're we're constantly watching the matches that are that
291
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.399
are in that second division and in the women's leagues
292
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.120
that Pro two services. So we do have almost one
293
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.200
hundred officials doing those matches and we're across those games.
294
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.399
There's a whole department for Pro two that has another
295
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.240
set of referee managers and coaches that are working with
296
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.600
these officials, and there's a lot of conversation between those
297
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.799
at Service MLS and those at Service the other leagues.
298
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.559
So we're we have our list of officials that are
299
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.240
performing in a very good way. You know, we know
300
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.360
who our trialists are going to be, to give them
301
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.639
an opportunity to show themselves in MLS to see if
302
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.320
it's something that they're going to be able to be
303
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.240
successful in going into the future. We always have officials
304
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.720
that are talking about retirement. We have injuries that we
305
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.879
have to deal with, just like any club, so we
306
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.799
need to be ready to backfill those positions that open up.
307
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.480
So when it comes to training and making sure that
308
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.639
your referees or as healthy as consistently as possible, what
309
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.679
is it just up to the individual or does PRO
310
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.720
have its own training program? Hey, you know we want
311
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.320
you to hit these markers. We want you to have
312
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.080
this as a BMI. I mean, how do you handle that?
313
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.639
Yeah, we have a couple We have a whole sports
314
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.519
performance department. So that's headed up by Tom Beckfermitt and
315
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.960
then he has some other coaches that are below him.
316
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.080
So the referees and any newer assistant referees all have
317
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.600
to be part of that sports performance program. Many of
318
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.080
the vet in assistant referees, they've had their programs since
319
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.200
they started and we're confident in what they're doing, so
320
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.960
we let them go ahead with that. And in the
321
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.080
Pro two space, they also have exposure to the sports
322
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.679
performance coaches, so it's a very structured program. They get
323
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.960
their daily workouts each each day to perform, and they
324
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.799
need to report back with data. They all wear watches
325
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.960
in order to collect their heart rate data and speeds
326
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.159
and all of that information, and that goes to the coaches.
327
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.960
When it comes to the administration of fouls that you
328
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.200
have some folks that might be at twenty one and
329
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.399
a half on average, some folks it might be north
330
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.960
of thirty on average. And I know that the fan
331
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.399
may sit there and they see the numbers, being as
332
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.919
desperate as they are, and they're wondering about consistency of
333
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.799
personality and a personality of a ref involving the personality
334
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.759
of a match, And I know that that probably goes
335
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.440
into the discussion in assigning these kinds of folks. But
336
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:02.799
for for fans that sit there and they see somebody
337
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.240
who calls a lot of fouls, and it might be
338
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.200
in a matchup where the two teams are kind of
339
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.519
free wheeling, and then you have a reth that doesn't
340
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:12.039
call a lot of fouls and that might be one
341
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.640
that you know, you could end up with five minutes
342
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.720
for fighting. If you're talking the National Hockey League, how
343
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.440
do you gauge once again, those whole kind of those
344
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.279
ideas of yeah, I know you call a lot of fouls.
345
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.680
I know you don't, but you still benefit what pro
346
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.440
is trying to do in navigating a match in Major
347
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:25.920
League soccer.
348
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.359
Yeah, we still we still have our expectations on what's
349
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.599
a foul and what's not a foul. Of course, everyone
350
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.000
has their own interpretation when in those gray situations, you know,
351
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.640
that narrow band of is it a foul or is
352
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.519
it is it not? You know, ones that we would
353
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.839
sit there and debate, you know, and the officials are
354
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.920
very consistent within themselves on how they navigate those those areas.
355
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.160
I would I think that the foul count, or the
356
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.039
average foul count is pretty consistent across the board. You know,
357
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.599
early in the season you may see see some disparities,
358
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.319
but that's just because the demands of one particular game
359
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.680
were higher or lower than than something that the that
360
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.519
the their officials we're seeing, you know. So when we
361
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.599
see that disparity from game to game. It's really what
362
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.839
the demands of the game were and what the what
363
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.200
the players are doing on the field, and then how
364
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.000
the how the officials responded to that.
365
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.119
When it comes to the fan these days and the players,
366
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.720
oh uh, here's one crowding uh right now, I know
367
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.279
that the you're if you're if you're a man in
368
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.160
the middle, all you really want to do is you
369
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.960
want to talk to the guy that's got the see on.
370
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.319
But that doesn't necessarily happen every single time. What kind
371
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.279
of feedback do you get from your refs about Okay, look,
372
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.759
it's like they're like five guys here and they don't
373
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.480
need to be here. What feedback do you get about
374
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.160
the crowding situation and folks trying to chirp in your
375
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:42.759
ref's ears.
376
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.519
I tell you what, the captain is not always the
377
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.880
best person to talk to. Also, there might be somebody
378
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.119
that's that's a little bit more calm in a situation
379
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:53.000
that the referees can talk to. And really we encourage
380
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.920
them to manage every player on the field or talk
381
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.880
with every player and try to get the best out
382
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.039
of them moving forward for the for the game, you know,
383
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.680
but we have only the captain this year, you know,
384
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.519
which is a worldwide initiative in order to tackle discent
385
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.359
and tackle mobbing of officials, where if officials have three,
386
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.920
four or five players that are coming in a more
387
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.720
aggressive way, they can initiate only the captain where they
388
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.720
create about a four yard space around them, and only
389
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.720
the captain is able to come in and talk to
390
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.279
the referee at that moment. It's a really good opportunity
391
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.759
because now the expectation is not only will the referee
392
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.440
just say no, I was right or it's a clear
393
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.799
penalty for me, they'll actually provide now an explanation to
394
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.039
the captain as to why they made the decision that
395
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:37.480
they did.
396
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.160
Are in a situation like that when crowding still happens
397
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.759
after the fact and I know that the fourth is
398
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.559
holding up the board for us here, are you satisfied
399
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.759
with how your center refs are handling it when crowding
400
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:54.240
continues after you still end up with you know, no more,
401
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:55.880
get out of my space. I want to talk to
402
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:56.480
this guy.
403
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.240
Like they've done around the world. Last year, we initiated
404
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.559
a descent initiative, you know, so we gave them clear
405
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.119
guidelines and we told them that we would support them
406
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:08.039
all season long when they started issuing yellow cards for
407
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.640
descent in these situations where there's clear aggressive behavior or
408
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.079
mobbing of the officials. So if they do only the
409
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.599
captain and they're speaking to the captain, somebody else steps
410
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:20.279
in in order to dissent. We expect them to give
411
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.480
yellow cards in these situations. But because of only the captain,
412
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.519
we've seen a decrease in the number of yellow cards
413
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.440
for descent. It's having a positive impact so far. I'm
414
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.359
hoping that that continues all season long, but I think
415
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.000
it's a really good tool for them to clean up
416
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.000
the game. The image is really important for us because
417
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.519
anything that the grassroots players and coaches and fans see
418
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.319
on TV is something that they mimic down at the
419
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.400
levels that they're playing in. And we're seeing a decrease
420
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.839
in referees at the grassroots level, which is ultimately going
421
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.079
to hurt the professional game because there's a smaller pool
422
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:53.720
to choose from.
423
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.400
That's going to say, before you get out of here,
424
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.720
best advice you can give for somebody that wants to
425
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.400
be involved at the grassroots level to Sunday po possibly
426
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:01.599
being Major League Soccer.
427
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:04.400
Try it just try pick up the whistle, pick up
428
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.519
the flag, get out there and have fun. It's a
429
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.720
great part. Uh, it's a great part of the game.
430
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.759
It's a it's a great way, another pathway to be
431
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.160
part at a at a higher and higher level. And
432
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:19.279
we have referees of all races, genders abilities out on
433
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.240
the field. So it's if there's an opportunity for everyone
434
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.400
to move up the ladder and be the best referee
435
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.319
there cant they can be, and to be part of
436
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.079
the game at the highest level they can get.
437
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.119
To Mark Geiger from Pro the Grand Exalted Poopa, top
438
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.720
of the pyramid. As always great to see you, Thanks
439
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.119
for coming on and answering some of our questions. And
440
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.960
as always, now that we know how to get in touch,
441
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.359
you know that sometimes we'll be knocking on your door.
442
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:43.720
Thanks for dropping by a dam'd be good.
443
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:44.720
Thanks Sean.
444
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.640
All right, Mark Geiger, everybody so uh Mark, Mark has
445
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.839
uh been Mark put up with us. He got to
446
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:52.640
see how the sausage was made, He got to see
447
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.599
how helmet hair happens when it comes to headsets and
448
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.519
all that kind of stuff. But uh, that's Mark Geiger
449
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.240
and once again, thanks to everybody. Chris Rivet and everybody
450
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.799
at Pro for helping nessessitate that because there's a lot
451
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.039
of stuff that we needed to get into and I
452
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.400
knew it was gonna kind of be rapid fire. And
453
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.759
once again thanks to Mark and everybody there to make
454
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.519
sure that this was happening. I hope that was helpful
455
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.839
in all of these ideas. Obviously, we will take this
456
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.200
particular segment and we'll roll the audio over later this
457
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.480
morning or leave this afternoon, so you can hear that.
458
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.960
You can hear the rest of the show as we
459
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.160
go here. But that's Mark Geiger from Pro. Can't thank
460
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.279
him enough for putting up with all of our questions
461
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.079
because literally there was a lot of stuff that we
462
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.839
needed to kind of get into and try to get
463
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:38.960
into it as best we could with follow ups and
464
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.680
things like that. So senior director Match Officials at Pro,
465
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.319
Mark Geiger dropping by to bat lead off this morning
466
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:49.160
here on Tuesday. Thoughts, Hi, Wow, Okay, that's definitely a
467
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.000
kind of a rapid fire way to get things rolling
468
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:56.079
this morning. So there you go, all right, So let's
469
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.599
see what thoughts were after this particular rundown. Morning. Alex Morning,
470
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.559
Keepsie Morning, Abby Morning, Derek and Uh yeah, we gotta
471
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:09.319
we gotta catch up with our friends with the cheap viewers.
472
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.599
That's not gonna happen. So we're gonna go ahead and
473
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:17.000
get rid of cheap viewers here and account of suspended
474
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:20.279
or deactivated. So I couldn't even do a thing. You
475
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:24.200
got in, you got out. I mean, man, that's just
476
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.279
not even that's just not even cool. You don't even
477
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:29.880
get the chance to suspend or deactivate or do all
478
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:35.279
that kind of stuff. So all right, so, uh sports boffin,
479
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:37.480
we will get into that coming up in a bit.
480
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.880
Welcome sports Boffin. I believe it is your first visit.
481
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:46.640
Morning Derek, Morning Abby, morning Michael, thank you. Uh and
482
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:52.000
uh so, uh yeah, cafsy if it was a Geigerbot,
483
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.839
that'd be kind of interesting. Uh So, there you go.
484
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.000
What do you think how many how many questions were answered?
485
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.319
How many questions do you still have? That's what we got.
486
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.960
So then, so Derek is looking at things sympathy for
487
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.559
a defender who is bad at soccer. Kevse wasn't a
488
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:13.920
fan player, was nowhere near the defender. You can't impact
489
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:17.559
the decision to jump to clear, and Kevsei was looking
490
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:23.359
for the ico Para run into run into Joseph assumed control.
491
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:29.039
Perhaps often when we get into all of our thoughts
492
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:31.799
after we've cleared the tables, we'll get into this, So
493
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:33.960
remind me to talk about this in our number two.
494
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.799
But yeah, no, Derek. Literally, it was a conversation that
495
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:45.720
we've had with folks at Pro and because of things
496
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.440
that have been happening across the sport, it was like, okay,
497
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.400
and especially in Major League Soccer and what we get
498
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:56.720
to end up talking about on a daily basis. I've
499
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.359
had conversations with folks at Pro and specifically Chris of it,
500
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.200
and it's like, Chris, okay, the the thing that you
501
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.920
put out at the end of the week, that was
502
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.480
the one thing that was left on the table. And
503
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:10.039
it might be more of a question outside of Mark's purview,
504
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:13.279
but yeah, the the end of the week report and
505
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:17.680
how you don't hear you get to see certain things,
506
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.279
you don't get to see certain things, the viewing and
507
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:25.200
how when you look at inside inside the va R studio,
508
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.119
obviously there are things that we disagree about, and so
509
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.119
that was why the conversation started. It's like, you know, hey,
510
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:35.440
you send a question in an email to pro and
511
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:39.000
it's like, well, what's the desired idea when you do this, this, this,
512
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:42.079
this and this, and then the conversation starts. And because
513
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.480
of what happened, specifically because of deliberate action, I reached
514
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.400
back out and it was one of those where okay,
515
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.480
so it's delibered action, and is there anybody that we
516
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.680
can talk to about this kind of stuff? And they
517
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:57.119
offered up Mark and I was like, okay, cool, that
518
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:01.240
was that was that that was random and accepted. And
519
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.480
so this was about two weeks of figuring out a
520
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.359
good time slot to have Mark in and we had
521
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.519
to start to show five minutes early. But you know,
522
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:14.799
you know, anybody outside of the SDH purview doesn't quite
523
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.480
necessarily understand that we started at nine oh five because
524
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.880
we're Turner Time kids. It's a local reference, and so
525
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.880
to start at nine o'clock and have the mute button
526
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.599
still activated when you start talking, that's what happened. So anyway,
527
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:29.400
it's about a two week negotiation and trying to figure
528
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.440
out a good time to catch up with Mark there
529
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:35.200
in his studio space. And so that was how it
530
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.400
came to be. And so I tried to tackle as
531
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.359
many issues as possible and as many questions as I
532
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:47.640
had without really going because I could have spent probably
533
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.039
another twenty minutes easily in breaking things down. But once again,
534
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.640
you sit there, you have this talk and then it
535
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.480
sets up stuff down the road where you can have
536
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.359
other things to talk about. But deliberate action happening twice
537
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.680
back to back weeks once involving it, that was a
538
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.279
no brainer to understand. Okay, where are you coming from?
539
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:09.119
And I think that we all probably respectfully disagree when
540
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:13.480
it comes to deliberate action, where if you're in the
541
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:18.039
way of something, then to me, if you're making a
542
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:20.440
deliberate action to get in the way, you're still making
543
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:25.359
that deliberate action. So that I think deliberate action is
544
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.119
going to be one of those things that we continue
545
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:31.559
to discuss and continue to disagree with and all of
546
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:35.200
the all of that particular kind of activity, So deliberate action,
547
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:36.960
I know that we're probably going to agree to disagree
548
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.079
on when it comes to all of that kind of stuff. Yeah, intent, Yeah, Abby,
549
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:46.119
and intent that was a stretch And yeah, thank you Abby,
550
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:51.480
blocking them already love it and morning Harry So and Michael. Yeah,
551
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.240
And that was why I wanted to bring up crowding,
552
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.519
and I'm glad that that triggered an idea because we
553
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:02.680
see a lot, specifically with Messi and friends, where you'll
554
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.759
have center refs who will sit there and they'll want
555
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.720
to talk to a captain. Mark mentioned that sometimes a
556
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:09.920
captain's not the best person to talk to, but still
557
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:14.079
that doesn't keep four other individuals from coming in. And
558
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:16.480
what I'm sure that a lot of folks would like
559
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:20.240
to see, especially those that are ones that follow the
560
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:24.480
laws of the game. It's like, look, so look, you
561
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:28.039
know you're crowding, bang bang bang. Instead of your crowding,
562
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:32.559
all of you are talking, you know, back away, and
563
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:37.880
so that kind of a thing. So so I think
564
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.960
that we are still going to agree to disagree on
565
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:48.880
interpretation of deliberate action, as Bart says, So Bart having says,
566
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.200
Bart doesn't agree with the interpretation of delibered action having
567
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:57.400
sat through training modules, and so I think that once again,
568
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:02.640
involving deliberate action, the fact that you are decided, the
569
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:08.680
fact that you are deciding to navigate your defensive stance
570
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.680
to prevent the ball from doing something that to me
571
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:18.240
means that you are thinking about doing something deliberate. That
572
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.200
that's I mean to me that that would interpret itself
573
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:25.759
as Okay, I'm gonna put my foot out. You're thinking
574
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:27.240
that you're going to put your foot out. It's not
575
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:32.599
a reflex action. It's not a it's not h it
576
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:35.640
is not a reflex. It is so reflex versus deliberate,
577
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:37.519
I think is what we're getting into. So I think
578
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.160
that legitimately we're going to continue to agree to disagree
579
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.880
about deliberate action because every single time that you sit there,
580
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.559
because self defense is one thing, you know, self defense,
581
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.279
turning your body towards you know, protecting yourself in self
582
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:54.920
defense is one thing. When you stick your foot out,
583
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:58.359
that to me is a deliberate action, not protecting yourself
584
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:01.400
from getting smashed by a a soccer ball at you know,
585
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:05.599
forty five miles an hour from close range. So I
586
00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:13.640
think that I okay, So I'm I'm under the distinct
587
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:17.279
impression that deliberate action is going to be something that
588
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:22.640
we are going to continue to disagree about meeting with
589
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:28.640
pro considering if you do nothing, it's you know, if
590
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:32.640
you do nothing except protect yourself, make yourself smaller, whatever,
591
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.920
turn that to me is self defense. If you're if
592
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:42.599
you're trying to sit there, make yourself bigger and extend
593
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.599
a leg one way or the other. That to me
594
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.519
means that you're thinking about doing something to get in
595
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:51.480
the way of the path of the ball. That to
596
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:58.119
me means that that Okay, here we go. So I'm
597
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:05.640
going to Webster's uh so, here we go. And once again,
598
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:11.359
probably this needs to be taken up with mister Venger
599
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.279
and laws of the game whenever they have their summits. Okay.
600
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:22.799
As as as an adjective, definition one done on purpose,
601
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:29.359
semicolon intentional, definition two formed with deliberation, carefully considered, not
602
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:36.720
sudden or rash. Definition three of a person weighing facts
603
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:39.200
and arguments with a view to a choice or decision,
604
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:44.799
semicolon carefully considering the probable consequences of a step, semicolon
605
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:51.279
slow in determining, deliberate. So what we're looking at here
606
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:56.039
is definition number numbers one and two done on purpose,
607
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:03.519
semicolon intentional and or formed with deliberation semi colan carefully
608
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:11.240
considered semi colon not sudden or rash. If we apply
609
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:18.519
definitions one and two as the adjective deliberate, I think
610
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:23.359
that we're going to agree to disagree because of what
611
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:32.880
it's going to be taking in that particular moment. So
612
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:35.160
then we got into crowding and wanted to get into that,
613
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.720
and like I said, we kept mark for about two
614
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:39.559
minutes over and I probably could have gone at least
615
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.559
another ten with all the topics. Abby start issuing cards. Yes,
616
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.279
if the captain's not the best to speak, but you
617
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.319
don't need four players, No, you don't. And I think
618
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.720
that a lot of times, and I think in the moment,
619
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.079
I think that what you need, you need to have
620
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:03.160
more center refs sit there and go after that, after
621
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:06.880
they do the clearing of the waves, you know, clear out,
622
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.160
give me my four foot ring. Who's my dude, I'm talking.
623
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.880
Then it's you know, anybody gets inside that, anybody gets
624
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:20.720
inside the bull ring, bang bang bang. We need to
625
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:28.000
see more of that. But I fear that because you
626
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.279
have star power attached a lot of times, and I'm
627
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.079
not just talking about the team that dresses in pink
628
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:41.240
and black. You have players who and I think that
629
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:44.640
you have center reps at times that don't want to
630
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:48.880
have matches finished eleven B ten, so they keep the
631
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:53.240
card in their pocket instead of going bang bang bang,
632
00:33:53.279 --> 00:34:01.759
you're inside the four foot circle, keep going, You're done.
633
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.000
I don't think we have enough of that. If that
634
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.920
is in fact the law of the game, where eh
635
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:14.199
four football ring and people still crowd even not necessarily
636
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.000
on that play, then you've got to have more. You've
637
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:25.000
got to have more fortitude from your center refs not
638
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:27.039
being afraid to sit there and go bang bang bang.
639
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.239
Don't be afraid to do that. Don't be afraid to
640
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:35.559
go down the row and treat it like the shooting
641
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.719
gallery when you're at the two bid amusement park with
642
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.000
the really rusty ferris wheel. Don't be afraid to do that.
643
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.559
Don't be afraid to go bang bang bang. I fear though,
644
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:48.920
you have too many officials that don't want to have
645
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:53.320
a game. Go away from eleven to B eleven. Like
646
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:58.800
I said, that's just that's my that's my thought attached
647
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.079
to the idea of not wanting stars to be taken
648
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:02.960
off the match and then taking out of other matches.
649
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:09.320
So those two things being in play, let's see what
650
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:12.599
else is going on. Uh, Derek Defender's being awarded for
651
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:17.039
errors KEPSI. If he does nothing, the ball does not
652
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:19.599
go to Pedro and probably out even if even if
653
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:22.000
it reached out could only be off side if not
654
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:26.400
played prior by the defender. Same with Opara. If you
655
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:28.840
let the ball go to Joseph, he's off thinking, misplays
656
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:32.039
it due to question thinking about the lurking striker he's
657
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:38.559
aware of. Yeah, and Derek, right, Derek not only talking
658
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.400
about the paint team, but for sure talking about the
659
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:47.400
pink team. Yes, exactly right. So yeah, and boffin football,
660
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:49.960
football and soccer could learn from both codes of rugby
661
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:53.800
in regards to respective officials. I mean, legitimately they need
662
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:58.480
to be just there will always be a level of
663
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:03.840
disrespect for center f. You think in what you were
664
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:07.719
going to do is you were going to gauge, and
665
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.360
so that's all and part of its gamesmanship, without question.
666
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:16.760
But you have teamm who sits there and navigates the
667
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.360
match a certain way. Then it gets to okay, I
668
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.159
know what this center f is gonna do. I know
669
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.280
this center f isn't gonna call anything. And that was
670
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:28.840
why I asked the question about making sure that you
671
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.400
tried to if you were pro three weeks out, if
672
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.800
you had two teams that were physical, that you had
673
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.679
a either you're gonna have somebody. You're gonna have somebody
674
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.800
who battles in the extremes. You're gonna have somebody who's
675
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.599
either going to be a blackjack dealer and go foul, foul, foul,
676
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.039
card card card, or you're just gonna let him go
677
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.880
and they're gonna kill each other, whichever. But what you
678
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.320
don't want is someone who's in the middle, who's gonna
679
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.639
call things and then not call things and overcorrect in
680
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.480
that kind. And that was why I asked about chemistry
681
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:59.239
and figuring out, Okay, who gets to be paired where
682
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.719
with these matches do you bring in somebody who doesn't
683
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:06.400
call a lot of fouls when one of the two
684
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:10.480
teams is physical and the other one wants to play that.
685
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:13.079
To me, you're dealing with both sides of the equation.
686
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:18.440
It's like, what do we do? You know? It's like, well,
687
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:20.559
we know that Philly does this, we know that Atlanta
688
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:21.880
does this. So what we're going to do. We're going
689
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:23.639
to bring in an official that sits there and doesn't
690
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:27.239
call a lot of fouls, which benefits the home team,
691
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.880
the physical team, which means that the other team in
692
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.360
this case would have to navigate and understand, Okay, this
693
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.880
is the deal. We have to get closer to the
694
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.639
other side when it comes to philosophy, or at least
695
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:42.440
understanding what's going to be called and what isn't. And
696
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.679
so that's why I wanted to get into that topic
697
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.639
because of we see a lot of times you know
698
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.440
that come to the fore when we talk about it.
699
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:57.079
We see times where you have the personality traits of
700
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:02.480
both teams and an official that caters itself to one
701
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:09.840
style or the other. So, you know, Mark said that
702
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.360
they're usually getting their assignments three weeks out. They make
703
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:18.599
the assignments about a month away. So assigning someone who
704
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.039
doesn't call a whole lot of fouls to a team
705
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.719
that's very physical, naturally, you would think would benefit the
706
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.519
team that is very physical, Like I said, And that's
707
00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:29.280
why I wanted to ask that particular question. And I
708
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.599
wanted to ask about training. I wanted to ask about review.
709
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.159
I wanted to ask about, you know, for lack of
710
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:41.199
a better word, the the the programs that you put on,
711
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.119
if there are officials that grade poorly, what what is
712
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.519
their path back to being a part of natural selection
713
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.559
When it comes to matchups, do you in fact, get
714
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:56.239
sent down to lower divisions to help your craft. Apparently
715
00:38:56.239 --> 00:39:03.199
you do so, oh yeah, and and and Kesey says
716
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:05.119
that you got to plot, you know, a month ahead
717
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:06.840
of time. True, but I would also think that you
718
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:11.639
would know the layout of the club that you're sending
719
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:15.480
an individual for, like if you if you do you
720
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.400
want someone as I would think, you know, I would
721
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:30.320
think that in a matchup that you have a Okay,
722
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.519
so the numbers have kind of evened out a little
723
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.760
bit so right now, just as an average, the man
724
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:47.639
that has called the most fouls per match is Philip
725
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:50.480
Deutyach and it is by well, hang on, let me
726
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:54.679
see if we have fowls per match average. Okay, elehil
727
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:56.599
Adagien is still at the top of the ladder at
728
00:39:56.639 --> 00:40:02.440
thirty three. Joe Dickerson knows prize is it just under
729
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:06.280
thirty at twenty nine point eight. Then it's Ricardo Fierro
730
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:10.599
or Senda Mendoza, Philip Duyach, Gueto Gonzalez Junior, abdu Enjai
731
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:12.920
who is called one match in the middle. Elahil Urghen
732
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.519
has called only one match in the middle, Guido Gonzalez,
733
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:20.119
Serga Dimianchuk, and that gets you to Malik Bdalian photos Bizakis,
734
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.599
that's your top ten if you take out the edge
735
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:27.079
of the bell curve in Ataghen Dickerson is at number
736
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.280
two at twenty nine point eight. Fierro Is is third
737
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:32.760
at twenty eight point six, Mendoza twenty eight and a half,
738
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.239
Duych twenty eight point three, eight, Enjai twenty seven, but
739
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.079
he's only done the one match, Gueto Gonzalez Junior twenty
740
00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.800
six point seven, Sergei Dimianchuk twenty six in a quarter,
741
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:46.119
Badawi twenty five point eight three, Fotus Bazakas twenty five
742
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:48.599
point four, and then then you really have a you've
743
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:54.679
got a you have smallest of small gaps between say
744
00:40:55.480 --> 00:41:01.639
Badawi at twenty five eight three to Pierreluclasie, who is fourteenth.
745
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.679
So nine to fourteen you're in a group, nine to fifteen.
746
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:07.960
Really you're in a group. And then you get into
747
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:12.400
the twenty three starting with Sergei Boyko at sixteen and
748
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:22.320
Alan Chapman is last in fowls per match average at
749
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:28.599
twenty point eight three, Drew Fisher at twenty one and
750
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.320
two thirds, Jayramarufil at twenty one to eight at Katerina
751
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:35.800
Koroleva at twenty two, Tory Penzo at twenty two, Victor
752
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:38.880
Ivos at twenty two point six, Ruby Elvasquez at twenty
753
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.840
two eight three, but Alan Chapman dead last in fowls
754
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:49.760
called per match at twenty point eight three. But you
755
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:57.920
would hope that in situations where you have, say that
756
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:04.039
bottom group in number not an ability in that in number.
757
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:11.199
So if we were to take say Tory Penzo, Jayra Marufo,
758
00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:15.920
Drew Fisher, Alan Chapman twenty point eight three to twenty two,
759
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:19.000
if you were to take that group twenty three, twenty five,
760
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.440
twenty six and twenty seven, if you saw them coming,
761
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:27.599
then you should know going in the kind of match
762
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:32.159
that is going to be called or not called if
763
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.360
you're going if you are a team that likes to play,
764
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:38.320
and if you're and you're going up against a team
765
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:42.000
that doesn't want to play, ball's got cooties. Kick it long,
766
00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:45.079
We're gonna kick you. You know, we're gonna be physical,
767
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:49.320
what have you. I would hope that when you know
768
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:51.840
that assignment of if it's any one of those bottom
769
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:55.000
five in number once again, number not ability that you
770
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:58.079
know going in doesn't matter who you are. Could be
771
00:42:58.119 --> 00:42:59.679
my d could be the you know, could be Messy
772
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:02.360
and friends playing Philly, could be messy and friends playing
773
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.800
you know, it could be you know, Atlanta or anybody
774
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:09.960
who's playing. You know, think think of a team that
775
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:13.679
fouls a lot, team that does, team that wants to play,
776
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:18.039
team that fouls a lot, Red Bulls, So red Bulls,
777
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.000
you know, any team that fouls a lot, that's very
778
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.199
very physical, Red Bulls, Philly, what have you. So if
779
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.159
you've got a team that's over here, and you've got
780
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:29.440
a team that plays the other way, and you've got
781
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.559
a ref that goes to this way and markedly this
782
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.000
way over another, then you know the kind of match
783
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.079
you should be expecting. And so that's why every week
784
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:43.280
when we find out what the lineups are, that's why
785
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.639
I let everybody know who the lineups are when it
786
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:51.079
comes to center refs and things like that. So food
787
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:57.559
for thought on a Tuesday. Food for Thought on Tuesday,
788
00:43:57.920 --> 00:43:59.880
boffin reason I asked the question was the abuse of
789
00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:03.039
it official lengthy suspension in both codes of rugby one
790
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.679
players has spent it for eight weeks way to improve
791
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.400
respect for referees. Yeah, in theory, but often it is.
792
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:14.400
But at the same time, you know you're not going
793
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.639
to You may lose that player, but it may not
794
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:25.400
necessarily change your style of play. So that's stuff that
795
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:27.960
to keep in there. No, and and you know, like
796
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:30.199
I said, keV ci Pro gets massive props, Chris Rivet
797
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.559
and everybody at pro gets massive props. And for Mark
798
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:34.559
Geiger to come in here to discuss all of these
799
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:36.639
different topics, and like I said, I know, it was
800
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:41.039
kind of rapid fiery for about twenty minutes. Like I said,
801
00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:43.880
I could have gone at least another ten, but we
802
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:46.280
had him on a strict time schedule and I went
803
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:48.360
plus two. So I'm hoping that the fourth didn't get
804
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:52.000
mad or give me a card sooner or later. But yeah,
805
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:56.280
so should never expect a bad week to be remitted
806
00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:00.199
with a change. So, like I said, just what what
807
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:03.800
I want to do every week? And it happens on Fridays,
808
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:06.559
I guess because that's when they're released. Released Mike will
809
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:11.320
give you the early look at who the particular center
810
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:16.760
f is going to be and the var But I
811
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:20.400
always try to make a point of who those center
812
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:24.400
refs are going into a match weekend so we can
813
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:27.039
kind of keep an eye out and go, Okay, this
814
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.320
is the kind of match you'd like to see, this
815
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:33.239
is the kind of match we may expect. So that's
816
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:37.239
that's kind of where I was in that part of
817
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:41.000
the discussion. So I'm hoping that we got to tech,
818
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:46.840
we got to tackle every topic. I'm hoping that we did.
819
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:53.519
I'm hoping that at least early on anyway, that we
820
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:58.000
got to tackle as many topics as we possibly could
821
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.800
in a very short period at a time. So it
822
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:09.119
was it was something that we tried to something that
823
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:13.559
we tried to lock in and try just to get
824
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:17.400
folks to to lay out when it comes to all
825
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:24.280
of this stuff. So and so that's where we are.
826
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:30.760
I mean, it was yeah, so sorry, I'm trying to
827
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:36.000
do like two things at once. It'd be nice if
828
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.679
I could type and actually do I'm also I'm trying
829
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:45.639
to get everything squared away for Soccer's in session coming
830
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:53.960
up here at noon Eastern, all right, So just to
831
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:56.239
give you just to give your heads up, Soccer's in
832
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:59.400
session is going to be more than just Wednesdays for
833
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:01.280
the playoffs, as far in as we can go for
834
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:06.159
the next couple of weeks. Won't be, might be an hour,
835
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:11.119
might not, depends on the guests today. Just to let
836
00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:15.159
you know. At noon on the network, Ryan Burkhart from
837
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.400
North Quinnette, and it's going to be Jennifer Barr, the
838
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.920
head coach at Denmark. They play each other today on
839
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:26.280
the women's side. And Nathan Nadou, the head coach at
840
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:28.639
Dowley County's going to join us at twelve thirty and
841
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:30.920
we're going to talk about the success that he has
842
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.840
had with that program down in Vienna. So literally I
843
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:37.440
have coaches asking, Okay, what are we going to talk
844
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:39.119
about these kinds of things, So that was what I
845
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:40.440
was trying to take off. We're also going to catch
846
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:42.000
up with Clay Livingston at one o'clock. We're going to
847
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:43.840
flip that to the network as a one v one.
848
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:52.360
So Ryan Burkhart at North Quinnette, Bar at Denmark, Nathan
849
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.119
Nadu at Dooley County, Clay Livingston. We might actually go
850
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.079
long depending on how we go and depending on how
851
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.840
many other coaches we have, we might go along, we
852
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.599
might not. So Klay Livingston's either going to be live
853
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:07.000
or on tape. Then tomorrow it is going to be
854
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.400
Will homskis the head coach at the girls side of
855
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.840
Lincoln County. That's gonna be at noon. Nathan Dooley from
856
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.880
Perry's gonna join us at twelve thirty because they have
857
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.320
a double match day against Druid Hills. We're going to
858
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:20.440
try and to see if we can get Kaye chu
859
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.320
Mur to join us in that show as well, so
860
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:26.199
we can get those match previews to go there. And
861
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:28.960
then Coach Romano from a Cony County is going to
862
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.280
be a tape piece and that's gonna get flipped at
863
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:36.679
later in the afternoon as well. Thursday, it looks like
864
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.519
it's going to be Brian Lawson the head coach at
865
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.199
Jeff Davis, Jeremy Moore the head coach at Toombs, and
866
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.000
then on Friday, I know that we're going to have
867
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:46.440
Coach Pettitt from Callaway to bat lead off at noon.
868
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:48.400
The rest of it will figure out as we go.
869
00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:54.199
So uh, that's Soccer's in Session presented by Kaiser Permanente.
870
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:57.159
That's going to be a staple in the noon hour
871
00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:58.800
here during the playoffs. We're going to try and catch
872
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:01.559
up with as many coaches as humanly possible that we
873
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:04.239
can find on any given day. Try to catch up
874
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:07.039
with up on match days because especially if they're at home,
875
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.639
they may not necessarily be all that busy busy. They're
876
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:13.320
just kind of trying to have busy work, and if
877
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:14.679
we can be a part of that busy work in
878
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:16.440
the noon hour, that that would be kind of cool.
879
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:20.119
But today, once again, Ryan Burkhart and Jennifer Barr head
880
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.760
coaches at North Guinnett and Denmark. They're playing each other
881
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.760
tonight and then Nathan Natu's the head coach at Dewley
882
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:27.519
County's gonna join us at twelve thirty. We'll go over
883
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.159
all your brackets, go over all your matchups and get
884
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:33.280
you ready for everything going on. Clay Livingston from Towns
885
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:35.880
is It going to join us at one o'clock and
886
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:38.199
we're probably gonna flip that just depending on how much
887
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:40.440
steam we have at the time, and we might go
888
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:43.440
an hour in ten minutes. Today, the matchup on the
889
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:47.760
network is at six point thirty six thirty matchup and
890
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:50.360
it is John's Creek at Lasseter. We will have that
891
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.000
for you on the network and that'll be at Soccer
892
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:55.320
down here dot mixler dot com. That will also be
893
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:57.400
on the Mixler app. It will be at Soccer down
894
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:00.079
here dot net. You hit the listen tab, you go
895
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.599
to SDH and you get to click and listen to
896
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:06.920
the match live. So that's your high school action today.
897
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:12.280
Tomorrow we're planning another high school game. Trying to get
898
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:14.599
word from the GHSA about what we can do and
899
00:50:14.639 --> 00:50:16.440
what we can't and how we can go and all
900
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:20.760
these kinds of things. So we're planning another high school match.
901
00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:25.199
It might come on the network before the twos coverage,
902
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:29.119
which starts at seven o'clock twos in Carolina. Core pregame
903
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:33.639
show at seven kick at seven thirty three on the network,
904
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:37.320
Soccer down here dot mixer dot com, mix er app,
905
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:39.880
Soccer down here dot net. Hit the listen tap. So
906
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:44.400
that's where we are with all of that. That is Wednesday,
907
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:49.199
and Mike I said, you know, we're planning on another
908
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.679
matchup on Thursday on high school. We know where we
909
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:53.960
want to go, but like I said, we've got to
910
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:55.760
get word from the GHSA and a couple of things.
911
00:50:56.239 --> 00:51:01.239
So today it is John screaking last that much we know,
912
00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:05.239
we know that six thirty kick come on a little
913
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:07.599
ahead of time. We'll have your brackets, have your matchups,
914
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:10.679
all that kind of stuff going on in the match
915
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:12.840
in and of itself, maybe a little post game depending
916
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.119
on the weather, but I think they moved it up
917
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:18.079
because of the weather that's being anticipated in that particular
918
00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:21.199
part of East Cobb. So six thirty kick, come on
919
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.239
a little before with your pregame, John Screek Lasster Girls
920
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:27.400
first round of the playoffs from the Frank and Letsie
921
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:32.199
Field tomorrow planning another matchup and it would air before
922
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:34.880
the twos in Carolina Core, which is at seven thirty.
923
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:39.280
Pregame seven o'clock, and it would be on the Deuce
924
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:42.239
to clear up the space to make sure that so
925
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:44.480
the Deuce would have the high school game on Wednesday,
926
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.800
then to then the mothership SDH channel on Mixler would
927
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:54.400
have Core and Atlanta United too. Then once again that
928
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:58.000
turns into more activity there on the weekend. It is
929
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.960
Atlanta in Orlando. It's a seven o'clock kick, So six
930
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:03.679
o'clock would be your pregame. Ninety two nine in the
931
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:06.360
game in the Odyssey app and then at two o'clock
932
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:10.960
Sunday afternoon, we will have the matchup I believe at
933
00:52:11.079 --> 00:52:15.360
Northern Kentucky where it is the twos inn FC Cincinnati
934
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.920
two So that's the remainder of the week that is
935
00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:24.119
going on live as far as we can tell. Also,
936
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:26.039
now let's see what else is going on in your
937
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:29.440
thoughts this morning. Uh yeah, and there have been times
938
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:31.800
where a riff did get pulled, that is true. Yeah,
939
00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:35.480
and so that's why I wanted to ask about the
940
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:39.880
review process when it came to Okay, so what's how
941
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.039
how much of a quick turn is the review, what
942
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:44.480
are they get reviewed, when do they get pulled, what's
943
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.159
the process for rehabilitation, those kinds of things, And wanted
944
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:48.519
to I wanted to get that done. I know, I
945
00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:50.400
have me. I can't do more than one. Yeah it
946
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:55.039
is Vienna, no, okay, so let me see if I
947
00:52:55.079 --> 00:53:01.800
can remember, all right. So, and in Georgia, it is Houston,
948
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:07.519
not Houston, Houston County not Houston County. It is Forsyth County,
949
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:11.039
and the town is for Scyth. So you have Forsyth
950
00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:15.719
County north of Atlanta. The town north of Macon is Forsyth.
951
00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:20.400
Second syllable Forsyth County. Even for Scyth is the name
952
00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:25.400
of the town in Monroe County where you have Mary Persons.
953
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:28.559
Monroe County does not have Monroe High School that is
954
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:32.360
in Albany. You have a lot of You'll have a
955
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:36.719
lot of counties that have a lot of vills, but
956
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:38.639
you don't have the counties. You have a lot of
957
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.400
counties that don't have the towns or the tons. Jefferson
958
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:48.559
County has Jeffersonville. Just to give you an idea, the
959
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:54.880
town of Quitman is not in Quitman County. And literally
960
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:57.079
that's just the beginning of it. You could go in
961
00:53:57.119 --> 00:53:59.679
and around the state of Georgia and you could have
962
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:04.079
the county name and aville or county name and a
963
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.400
town and it would be an entirely different county. That's
964
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:09.360
what happens when you have one hundred and fifty nine counties.
965
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:11.920
And that was just a small sample. So yes, so
966
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:15.559
it is Vienna. Yeah, Vienna. It is not like Vienna.
967
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:19.960
It is Vienna. I'm trying to think of some others quickly.
968
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:26.760
Hawkinsville is not in Hawkins County. Pulaski has Fort Pulaski
969
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:29.280
on the coast, but Pulaski County is in middle Georgia.
970
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:34.400
I'm trying to think of some others really quickly. You
971
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.159
don't have a Soper County, but you have Soper Ton,
972
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:44.199
but they're all out there, I mean jeffer In. Yeah,
973
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:49.760
so Jeffersonville is not in Jefferson County. It is in
974
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:54.760
Twiggs County. Lewisville is pronounced Lewisville, even though it looks
975
00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:59.159
like Louisville, like the town in Kentucky. Like I said that,
976
00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:01.519
that's when you take Georgia history here in the state
977
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.119
of Georgia. As a student of high school in the
978
00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:07.159
state of Georgia, you have to pass, or you did
979
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:13.199
when I was a kid. Anyway, Albannie. I actually did
980
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:16.239
an interview once with Nancy Lopez as Abbey brings up
981
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:21.239
al Bennie or Albinnie. She said that Ray Knight, her
982
00:55:21.320 --> 00:55:24.480
husband at the time, taught her how to pronounce it
983
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:26.199
because Ray was from there. And it's like you're having
984
00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:28.079
a conversation with a guy named down, a guy named
985
00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:32.159
Bennie Albennie. That's if you're a native, that's how it's pronounced.
986
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:36.079
It's al Bennie. For the rest of us, we always
987
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:39.960
try and figure it out. But yeah, but yeah, so
988
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.519
that was that was what we were staring at when
989
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:48.719
it came to Georgia history. So seriously, yes, Georgia history,
990
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:51.480
you have to pass it, and you have to pass
991
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:56.000
Civics to get a diploma in Georgia high schools, and
992
00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:59.599
so in Georgia history, that meant you had to know
993
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:01.199
the county seats of a one hundred and fifty nine
994
00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:04.679
counties and you had to randomly bring them up to
995
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:08.880
the table. Sly is pronounced the sly. It is spelled
996
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.880
s e h l e y. The county that is
997
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:17.320
on your way to Augusta. That looks like Taliaferro has
998
00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:21.719
pronounced Tolliver. Literally, it's these are just things that you
999
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:23.880
learn and they stick with you. So that's what you're
1000
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:27.880
That's what you're But yeah, Vienna is Dooley County. We'll
1001
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:34.280
find out what's going on there. And so Abby, what
1002
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.920
do you It's like, wait a second, wait a secon?
1003
00:56:38.119 --> 00:56:43.880
Uh did Abby just get botted? Hang on? Does it
1004
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:47.559
looked like Abby had cheap viewers on stream? Boo? I
1005
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:49.079
was gonna say that was not what you were trying
1006
00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:53.119
to post. Thank you, uh, moonlighting as a spammer. Okay,
1007
00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:57.960
here we go. Abby's PSA and the WPSL Decatur once again.
1008
00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:02.079
Dekater FC single game season take a discounts and you
1009
00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:05.719
can catch up with our friends there that we also
1010
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:08.000
probably mean we had Joel Gould on the show, and
1011
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:10.159
we'll catch up with him and probably Garetha Sullivan's. We'll
1012
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:11.760
get closer to the schedule, so we're probably going to
1013
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:15.199
be doing a lot of different things. Yes, Boffin about
1014
00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:19.880
the UK, no doubt, absolutely true. Greenville, Yes, Greenville is
1015
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:25.440
in Meriweather County. Greensboro was in Green County, absolutely true,
1016
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.320
absolutely true. So there we go. Yes, behind Texas one
1017
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:31.119
hundred and fifty nine counties in the state of Georgia.
1018
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:34.119
So yeah, you had to know him, and you had
1019
00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:35.800
to know Georgia history and all this kind of stuff.
1020
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:39.400
So that's that's our number one. Our number one is
1021
00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:45.679
Georgia history, all the Bots and Mark Geiger. But yeah,
1022
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:47.920
so I think that we are going to respectfully agree
1023
00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:54.119
to disagree when it comes to deliberate action. I think
1024
00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:56.280
we're going to I think we're definitely going to be
1025
00:57:56.480 --> 00:57:59.519
agreeing to disagree on deliberate act and deliberate action. So
1026
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:02.320
that's our number one. Our number two is what we
1027
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:05.440
missed on the weekend in Major League Soccer and all
1028
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:07.679
of the news of the morning, all these other kinds
1029
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:11.280
of things. Shout out Blue Rich Catalucci, Blue Ridge, Fannin County,
1030
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:15.039
the head coach of the football team is a very
1031
00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:18.119
dear friend of mine. And the Boston and I occasionally
1032
00:58:18.119 --> 00:58:20.880
will go up to Blue Ridge and we will rent
1033
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:24.960
a cabin for like a week, sometimes in June, sometimes
1034
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.039
whenever we can get out and head up north. But yeah,
1035
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.800
we will rent cabins up in Blue Ridge on. We
1036
00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:32.880
try to make it a yearly basis. But yes, fan
1037
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:35.880
and County Blue Ridge Fan, County Rebels and my buddy
1038
00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:39.320
Chad Cheatham up there in Blue Ridge. And by the way,
1039
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:41.960
when with the Boss goes up to Blue Ridge, we
1040
00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:47.920
go downtown, she buys out the olive oil store, buys
1041
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:53.480
out the olive oil store. I'm not kidding. Well, no, Bart,
1042
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:55.159
you had to take you know, you couldn't get you
1043
00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:57.039
could take AP classes. Bart's like, well, I did an
1044
00:58:57.079 --> 00:58:58.559
one hundred and fifty nine. Maybe it was because I
1045
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:00.920
was in AP well when I was when I was
1046
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:03.599
in high school, back in the time just after James
1047
00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:08.760
Oglethorpe founded the State of Georgia. It was something that
1048
00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:11.800
you had regardless, I took AP American History. I took
1049
00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:14.159
actually I take it back. I took the AP American
1050
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:16.960
History exam when I was a junior, got a four.
1051
00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:20.280
I had like a one oh three average in basic
1052
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:24.039
US History Basic American History in my high school, and
1053
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:26.159
I told the teacher I said I wanted to take
1054
00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:29.480
the AP exam. Teacher was like, no, you don't. I'm like, yeah,
1055
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:31.159
I do. She's like, no, you don't, Yeah I do.
1056
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:34.599
So I took the AP American History exam after taking
1057
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:38.039
Basic American History and got a four. Then when I
1058
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:41.639
was a senior, I signed up for AP European. Hated
1059
00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:44.760
every minute of it and got a three. But I
1060
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:46.800
still if I hadn't taken it, if I still had
1061
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:48.559
in past Civics in Georgia History, I could not have
1062
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.239
gotten diploma. I could not have made the walk with
1063
00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:56.119
David Ryan Harris, who sang a song about our graduating
1064
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:59.480
class at our graduation on the stage at Lakeside High School.
1065
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:04.360
So yeah, David Ryan Harris follow for now, classmate. There
1066
01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:07.360
you go, Michael Head George's too many counties causes more
1067
01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:11.800
government spending. There's too many counties period, all right. So
1068
01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:15.079
our number two. Let's get you through your promos, all right.
1069
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:17.159
So here's how you can help out in addition to
1070
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:19.360
what Abby was talking about with the cater FC, here's
1071
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:22.039
what else you can do you can help. Oh, let's
1072
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:24.119
check the Marshall Island. See now that we're checking the
1073
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:26.920
Marshall Islands project, since they got to seventy five percent
1074
01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:31.760
of their international window, all right, so they're like seven
1075
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:34.639
thousand short, twenty five days to go. There was a
1076
01:00:34.679 --> 01:00:36.519
big bump and I still yet to figure out where
1077
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:39.760
that big bump came from, but they had a big
1078
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:42.840
bump over the weekend. So they are seven thousand and
1079
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:45.960
seven hundred or just under seventy seven hundred short on
1080
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:49.960
twenty six thousand dollars. So they're three quarters of the
1081
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:52.920
way there, twenty five days to go, and they're at
1082
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:55.639
nineteen thousand, one hundred and seventy three dollars trying to
1083
01:00:55.639 --> 01:00:59.239
get to twenty six eight h nine. And yeah, probably
1084
01:00:59.239 --> 01:01:01.519
we'll be that. We're gonna check our schedules and see
1085
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:05.119
what's going on, But it is highly likely that we
1086
01:01:05.239 --> 01:01:09.960
will be in Springdale, Arkansas, or at least somewhere close
1087
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:15.519
to keep an eye on what's going on in mid August,
1088
01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:22.639
because fourteenth through sixteen nothing there yet. The sixteenth Atlanta's
1089
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:24.960
in Colorado and we have to come back after the
1090
01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:27.559
sixteenth because Crown Legacy is playing Atlanta United two on
1091
01:01:27.599 --> 01:01:31.800
the seventeenth, so Outrigger Cup is on the fourteenth, so
1092
01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:37.199
we should be able to be safely in Arkansas for that.
1093
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:42.880
Jason will be at Dick Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado,
1094
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:46.000
but we'll all be back for the matchup on Sunday
1095
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:48.559
as Crown Legacy takes on the two so we should
1096
01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:52.679
probably all be there who can be there in mid
1097
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:56.519
August for the Outrigger Challenge Cup if they get the
1098
01:01:56.599 --> 01:01:59.280
extra seven thousand dollars in the next twenty five days,
1099
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:01.159
so that's where they are big boost on the weekend,
1100
01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:06.239
all right. So there's that once again. You can help
1101
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:07.719
out in a bunch of different ways. You buy the
1102
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:09.760
gear and they've got new gear out and I cursed
1103
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:13.840
them because it's more jerseys and they're pretty sweet made
1104
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:18.440
by a local marshal Lea's company as well. So what
1105
01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:20.360
you can do is you can help out the Marshall
1106
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:23.639
Island Soccer Federation by buying the gear. But if you
1107
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:26.000
buy the scarf that is modeled by our Matty Cruz,
1108
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:28.119
you get that from the other side of this door.
1109
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:30.159
And now I've got it. Like I said, I got
1110
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.679
about ten of them left. If you want, if you
1111
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:34.920
know somebody who wants one to help out the Marshall
1112
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:37.639
Island Soccer Federation on their bottom line, just keeping the
1113
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:40.239
lights on on a daily basis, then you can get
1114
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:42.480
the scarf from me. Get the gear from them. It
1115
01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:45.679
ships from England, but you get the scarf from me
1116
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:48.480
to help out the Marshall Island Soccer Federation. Don't forget.
1117
01:02:48.639 --> 01:02:50.800
You can go to Olivi York and you can get
1118
01:02:50.840 --> 01:02:54.559

of Permanente cross the Front. Talk to Abbey about personalization.
1120
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:01.159
When it comes to the Navy jersey with the floppy collar,
1121
01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:04.719
you can either get the white personalization or the Navy
1122
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:08.400
of the Carolina blue personalization the lighter blue personalization. Find
1123
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:11.360
out from Abby which one works best from her perspective
1124
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:13.239
and she can let you know. But once again, go
1125
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:14.719
to Olivi, New York. You can get the first ever

sleeve Soccer for Good on the other sleeve Kaiser Permanente
1131
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:32.840
across the front. You can go and catch how it
1132
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:37.159
was modeled by Greg Garza, Maddi Cruz and Sophia Kupertino
1133
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:39.760
on the ig the grammar of the instas the kids
1134
01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:43.000
say these days. Also, you can go to Gratty Baby
1135
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:46.760

SDH network on one cuff, Grady Baby logo on the
1139
01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:57.280
other cuff. You can get it in red or black
1140
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:01.280
and it helps out middle school Soccer Pro attached to
1141
01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:04.199
the Atlanta Public School system. So that's where that collaboration
1142
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:07.159
is with all of the funds heading in that direction
1143
01:04:07.239 --> 01:04:09.679
from our friends in Grady Baby and Grady Baby Co.
1144
01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:13.159
You can also go to the SDH store and you
1145
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:15.960
can get your gear there. It's the new logo and
1146
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:17.880
you can get sweatshirts and things like that. You can
1147
01:04:17.920 --> 01:04:19.800
also get mug stickers all that kind of stuff. And
1148
01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:21.760
Jason has taken two of the old teams here in

01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:26.039

1151
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:35.000
And that is part of the conversation there when it
1152
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.679
comes to getting all the gear. Don't forget you can
1153
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:40.880

01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:36.119
on in the in the in the world of of
1207
01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:39.400
SDH and SDH am. I'll go through the guests here
1208
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:44.960
in a second. I need to be hydrated. Geiger had
1209
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:46.440
his coffee and I didn't have a chance to take
1210
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:49.440
a sip of anything. Okay, the rest of the rundown
1211
01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:53.440
for the week, we're gonna have Mike Gramajo on tomorrow
1212
01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:58.519
at ten thirty. Mike works right now at wesh TV
1213
01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:01.920
Channel two in Orlando. He is an assignment manager and
1214
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:06.000
he also does the writing for their soccer content. Mike
1215
01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:09.119
has done some stuff he's done. I think I thought
1216
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:10.119
he was with this. I think it was with The
1217
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:12.280
Sentinel at one point. He had the Orlando Soccer Show
1218
01:08:12.280 --> 01:08:14.360
at one point, and he was with the team I
1219
01:08:14.400 --> 01:08:16.119
think at one point, and now he's at West TV
1220
01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:18.600
ten thirty Tomorrow, Mike's gonna come on. We're going to
1221
01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:21.319
talk Purple Team, and he's going to be in addition
1222
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:23.680
to our normal Wednesday guests. Tyler's going to join us
1223
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:26.199
at nine pint fifteen, and then it's going to be
1224
01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:28.079
dying at ten o'clock. Mike Gromaho is going to join
1225
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:30.600
us tomorrow from West TV in Orlando and he will
1226
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:34.880
discuss the Purple Team with us tomorrow ten o'clock. Our
1227
01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:37.239
Number one is what it always is, as we get
1228
01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:39.000
you ready for the Power Hour, hour number two with
1229
01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:41.479
Nino and Nico. Nino is probably going to be back
1230
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:43.840
from vacation sent me the photo from his time in
1231
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:48.319
Peru at the beach and so he was there with
1232
01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:52.039
the Boss, and so we'll find out how the beach was,
1233
01:08:52.079 --> 01:08:54.159
we'll find out what's going on in Nino's mind, and
1234
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:56.640
then Nico Moreno will join us at ten thirty to
1235
01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:00.880
break down everything in the MLS from the Pacific perspective,
1236
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:03.560
getting ready for this particular match week, and then we'll
1237
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:05.720
catch up hopefully with our friends from Beyond Goals at
1238
01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:09.319
nine thirty on Friday morning and break everything down there
1239
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:12.359
and find out what they think about what's going on
1240
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:17.079
with it Landy United. Interesting thought from Jonathan Tannewald from
1241
01:09:17.159 --> 01:09:20.520
the Philadelphia Inquirer after the match on the weekend. He
1242
01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:24.960
said that he was leaving super U Park in Chester
1243
01:09:25.960 --> 01:09:29.319
and he was thinking about Atlanta United teams of the
1244
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:33.079
past and the two names that popped up in his
1245
01:09:33.159 --> 01:09:36.560
head were Jeff Learning with to Michael Parkers. Neither of
1246
01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:39.760
those kinds of individuals are with Itlandi United in his
1247
01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:44.279
mind now, So hopefully we can catch up with either
1248
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:48.279
Parky or Greg at nine thirty on Friday morning and
1249
01:09:48.359 --> 01:09:51.319
break down everything going on in their minds when it
1250
01:09:51.399 --> 01:09:54.760
comes to mentoring their mentees, almost two hundred and fifty
1251
01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:57.039
different ones than what's going on with at Land United,
1252
01:09:57.079 --> 01:09:58.880
anything else going on. We've got to talk Rhode Island
1253
01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:01.960
FC if it's Parky. The next time Parky's on, we'll
1254
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:04.079
catch up with him about that, and then find out
1255
01:10:04.119 --> 01:10:05.760
what's going on with Greg as he has been globe
1256
01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:08.880
trotting here during the summer. Then our number two weekend
1257
01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:11.640
up unpatent pending trademark cummingson er hopefully rather than later.
1258
01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:14.720
The hour of chaos and what everybody thinks about everything
1259
01:10:14.760 --> 01:10:19.319
else going on and in and around either Major League
1260
01:10:19.319 --> 01:10:21.239
Soccer or any of the other leagues that are going on.
1261
01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:24.079
News out of the USL is that they have signed
1262
01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:26.960
gain Bridge as their lead sponsor for the Super League,
1263
01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:31.439
so it is now the gain Bridge USL Super League,
1264
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:36.319
So corporate sponsorship for gain Bridge and USL and Super
1265
01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:39.399
League when it comes to everything there. So that's all
1266
01:10:39.399 --> 01:10:42.079
your promos. I think that's all your promos, all right,
1267
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:46.119
So let's get into what happened this past weekend in
1268
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:49.640
Major League Soccer and whatever else is on your mind.
1269
01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:53.880
This morning, and the schedule from the weekend that was passed,
1270
01:10:54.039 --> 01:10:56.399
and we'll get into the post juice boxes and see
1271
01:10:56.439 --> 01:11:00.239
who might have improved their lot, so to speak, when
1272
01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:03.399
it came to all of the matchups in soccer. And
1273
01:11:03.439 --> 01:11:05.319
we'll go over standings and things like that and get
1274
01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:07.239
you ready and plus the news of the AAM don't
1275
01:11:07.239 --> 01:11:11.319
forget Mourning Espresso with Jason pops out somewhat concurrently with
1276
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:15.800
us here. If there's news that comes across Jason's desk
1277
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:18.279
first thing in the morning, he'll load it up in
1278
01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:20.680
the Morning Espresso. He'll let you know what he thinks.
1279
01:11:20.720 --> 01:11:22.359
He'll let you know about what's going on around the
1280
01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:24.600
world fifteen minutes or twenty minutes or so, unless there's
1281
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:30.840
a rant that's attached, and then we get into that
1282
01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:33.479
discussion with Jason. You can get Morning Espresso either in
1283
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:36.880
video form audio form on your favorite podcatcher, or you
1284
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:39.399
can actually get it in newsletter for him. And so
1285
01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:41.399
you can have three ways to get Morning Espresso brought
1286
01:11:41.399 --> 01:11:46.279
to us by our friends at Oglethorpe University. Yeah, no, Abby,
1287
01:11:46.359 --> 01:11:52.680
I don't think that Mark was mentioning anything having to
1288
01:11:52.840 --> 01:11:57.680
do with not against Brad, but just in general, there
1289
01:11:57.880 --> 01:12:00.319
sometimes where somebody has a captain's armband just to have
1290
01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:02.720
the captain's armband, and they may not necessarily have the
1291
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:08.000
captains wherewithal I guess they may not have the cachet
1292
01:12:08.199 --> 01:12:14.439
or the the level of understanding of the level headedness
1293
01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:16.680
that you would need to be a captain, so to speak.
1294
01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:19.319
So I think that sometimes you know, if the captains
1295
01:12:19.359 --> 01:12:22.159
runs a little hot, that there's another individual there that
1296
01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:25.680
is close by that doesn't run a little hot. Maybe
1297
01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:27.119
you talk to that person. I think that's what Mark
1298
01:12:27.279 --> 01:12:33.479
was getting to. Okay, results from this past weekend, and
1299
01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:39.279
remember the window closes, the first trade window of the
1300
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:42.720
first transfer window from Major League Soccer closes tomorrow. We'll
1301
01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:45.319
get into some of the transactions that have happened and
1302
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:47.359
get you caught up on any of that. I do
1303
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:52.600
not anticipate that you will see anything involving Atlanta United
1304
01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:58.640
as you are getting close to the end of this
1305
01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:05.000
particular window RSL. We'll get into RSL and we'll get
1306
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:09.640
into all of the other folks as as you have
1307
01:13:10.079 --> 01:13:13.760
Tom Bogert, who is over Gimme Sport and he's on
1308
01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:15.319
top of all of that. But there are a couple
1309
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:16.840
of moves that have been made. We'll let you know
1310
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:21.039
about those as we go here on the morning. All right,
1311
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:25.239
so last weekend in addition too, and we'll go we'll
1312
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:27.520
go from the beginning forward, all right. So Austin beat
1313
01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:31.239
Lag one nil. And I know that there are pitchforks
1314
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:35.800
and tiki torches out unnecessarily so in Los Angeles for
1315
01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:39.199
Vanny for a manager, Greg Vanny. I don't know why
1316
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:41.439
that's the case, considering that they don't have And it
1317
01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:45.600
was mentioned on social media. There was one chat attached
1318
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:48.880
to an LAG podcast, Is it time to get rid
1319
01:13:48.920 --> 01:13:51.600
of Greg Vanny? Ricky Poohe responded on the two hundred
1320
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:54.560
and eighty character rapp and said, no, so you've got that.
1321
01:13:56.239 --> 01:13:58.960
MESSI and Friends beat Crew one nil. We talked about
1322
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:01.199
that a little bit yesterday. It was the goal by
1323
01:14:01.239 --> 01:14:06.760
Benja Cramowsky. And once again you're getting an inter Miami inner.
1324
01:14:06.800 --> 01:14:11.079
Miami was a dog. Inner. Miami was a dog at
1325
01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:17.319
a plus one eighty one. One of the few times
1326
01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:21.800
this year that you could have Messian Friends as a
1327
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:28.680
plus A be an underdog B and convert on that underdog.
1328
01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:31.359
So literally, if you decided that you wanted to put
1329
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:36.159
juice boxes on Messi and Friends. You could do so
1330
01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:40.439
at a plus one eighty one. You could do so
1331
01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:47.199
at a plus one eighty one, and you could come
1332
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:53.439
out and be the You could be the you could
1333
01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:58.159
be the dude. I think this is the first time
1334
01:14:58.239 --> 01:15:01.319
this year a that they were a be, that they
1335
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:03.960
were a road dog. See that they converted on that
1336
01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:06.119
at a plus one eighty one simple goal in front
1337
01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:10.600
of more than sixty thousand in Cleveland, and it was
1338
01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:12.600
a plus one eighty one. Messian Friends got the duke
1339
01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:17.199
one nil. Seattle shut out in Nashville three nil. A
1340
01:15:17.279 --> 01:15:19.359
lot of folks were wondering where that offense was gonna
1341
01:15:19.359 --> 01:15:22.279
come from. It came from the sources that you were
1342
01:15:22.359 --> 01:15:24.159
hunting for. If you were a fan of Seattle, you're like,
1343
01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:28.520
merciful Jesus. We finally got some goals, scored folks getting
1344
01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:31.840
healthy lineups being what they were, And we'll talk to
1345
01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:34.880
Nico about that on Thursday more and more in depth.
1346
01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:38.359
DC beats Red Bulls by the score of two to
1347
01:15:38.479 --> 01:15:42.880
one at a plus two fifty six, Troy l saying,
1348
01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:44.319
I know that a lot of folks were sitting there
1349
01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:46.880
wondering about him and the offense and what's his future
1350
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:48.960
and career, dissipation lights and all that kind of stuff.
1351
01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:50.840
This will call them things down for at least a
1352
01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:54.720
day or two. Revs are scoring goals. Who are these revs?
1353
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:57.439
And what have they done with the revs? They were
1354
01:15:57.479 --> 01:16:00.560
a favorite, By the way, the Revs were a favorite
1355
01:16:00.600 --> 01:16:04.680
at a plus one thirty one two nil went over
1356
01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:09.199
n my CNYC not scoring goals. Charlotte shut out San Diego.
1357
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:11.520
I think that San Diego's kind of come back to
1358
01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:14.359
the mean a little bit. Charlotte put three on the board.
1359
01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:16.399
I think that San Diego still has to figure out
1360
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:20.239
how to win on the road, and especially as you're
1361
01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:22.720
going from one coast to the other, you're having to
1362
01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:26.079
reorient your clock. You started at four to forty local time.
1363
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:31.520
San Diego got shut out on the road. Three shutouts
1364
01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:35.520
in a row. CF Montreal, Purple Team, All Caps, Vancouver
1365
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:38.760
and Minnesota and Dallas. By the way, they've started the
1366
01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:46.199
destruction of the far stand at Toyota Stadium as part
1367
01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:50.119
of the renovation for the facility. Try and see if
1368
01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:52.000
we can figure out how we can get maybe some
1369
01:16:52.119 --> 01:16:54.399
seats from Toyota Stadium or something like that. See if
1370
01:16:54.439 --> 01:16:57.640
we can get that here in the office. Houston and Colorado,
1371
01:16:58.159 --> 01:17:00.800
I know a lot of folks were Houston was favored
1372
01:17:01.199 --> 01:17:04.000
at a minus one fifteen because once again winning on
1373
01:17:04.039 --> 01:17:05.800
the road in Major League Soccer. We talked about that
1374
01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:10.279
a lot. Houston and Colorado ends up as a two
1375
01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:13.880
to two draw to plus two sixty seven. Cincinnati put
1376
01:17:13.920 --> 01:17:15.920
three on Chicago at a plus two to eleven. They
1377
01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:18.920
won on the road. Toronto, probably in the shock of
1378
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:23.199
the weekend, beat RSL one to nil. The Diego Luna
1379
01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:25.800
read we wanted. I wanted to get into that with
1380
01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:28.640
Bart yesterday and that was one of the contributing factors.
1381
01:17:28.720 --> 01:17:32.199
I would I would pose it. But yeah, Toronto gets
1382
01:17:32.199 --> 01:17:34.640
a win on the road at a plus three fifty
1383
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:38.000
nine Portland in LA. And that was why we wanted
1384
01:17:38.039 --> 01:17:41.319
to get into the Steve Charundelo discussion with Art about dissent.
1385
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:45.960
So Portland, LA three to three draw plus two forty six.
1386
01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:51.840
Just for issues in giggles, we'll find out what plus
1387
01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:54.079
five and a half was and the over and the
1388
01:17:54.279 --> 01:17:58.279
under five and a half was a plus seven ninety one.
1389
01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:02.239
So if you had five and a half in the
1390
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:07.359
over plus seven ninety one with Portland and LAFC. And
1391
01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:10.279
once again, remember Steve Charundelo is wrapping up this season
1392
01:18:10.319 --> 01:18:13.159
and he's going back to Germany once this season is over.
1393
01:18:14.520 --> 01:18:18.560
Now the questions are going to reign supreme as to
1394
01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:22.279
who do you bring in? I know that there was
1395
01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:26.199
mention on MLS on MLS on Apple about bringing in
1396
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:28.640
you're going to clopping backing up the brinkstruck he ain't coming.
1397
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:34.359
He ain't coming. Seems to be happy in Europe right now,
1398
01:18:34.479 --> 01:18:36.760
happy with Red Bulls. I know that the lure of
1399
01:18:36.840 --> 01:18:42.000
Lipstick City would be something there. I would be stunned
1400
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:46.079
if he's coming. I don't see it under any auspice
1401
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:48.960
or circumstance. But yes, LAFC does have to swing big
1402
01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:55.079
and try and find someone who is more offensively inclined,
1403
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:59.520
shall we say, than Steve Charundela. Like I said, that's
1404
01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:02.640
just me thinking, you gotta find somebody. I don't think
1405
01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:07.279
it's Jurgen Klop. You gotta find somebody who's more offensively minded. Yes,
1406
01:19:07.359 --> 01:19:08.960
that would be Yurgen Clop, but I don't think it's
1407
01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:12.399
gonna be Jurgen Klop. Swing for the fences. LASC can't
1408
01:19:12.399 --> 01:19:14.960
wait to see who it is. And then the last
1409
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:19.199
match on the board Sporting at San Jose Sporting and
1410
01:19:19.359 --> 01:19:24.079
Carrie z or a plus two fifty six. San Jose
1411
01:19:24.479 --> 01:19:29.000
was a minus one oh nine in this matchup a
1412
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:35.319
minus one oh nine. So then when you look at
1413
01:19:35.359 --> 01:19:42.279
the schedule, it's like, I don't know. MLS after dark
1414
01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:45.720
popped its head up again. So here's what happened in
1415
01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:52.399
Denbay scored Shallow, we scored, Garcia scored. It was three
1416
01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:56.600
nail Kansas City in the twenty fourth minute. Then the
1417
01:19:56.680 --> 01:19:59.920
San Jose Earthquakes picked up their taekwonderroga number two pence
1418
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:07.680
and went not so fast. My friend Joseph scored in
1419
01:20:07.720 --> 01:20:11.600
the thirtieth, Chia cho Orongo scored in the forty second
1420
01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:15.399
to make it three to two. Kansas City is sitting
1421
01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:19.960
there going uh oh shallow. We got his brace. Eric
1422
01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:22.119
Tommy scored in the eighty fifth to make it five
1423
01:20:22.159 --> 01:20:24.600
to two, and then Chiacho Orongo from the spot at
1424
01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:32.359
ninety plus four minute five to three. So as we
1425
01:20:32.520 --> 01:20:35.680
once again checked the juice boxes in this one, once
1426
01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:40.119
again Sporting one at a plus two fifty six. Let's
1427
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:43.600
go to seven and a half, shall we and find
1428
01:20:43.680 --> 01:20:48.840
out seven and a half was a plus twenty five hundred.
1429
01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:56.720
So if you had the opportunity to actually want to
1430
01:20:56.880 --> 01:20:58.399
think that it was going to be a seven and
1431
01:20:58.399 --> 01:21:02.239
a half or an eight goal match, seven and a
1432
01:21:02.279 --> 01:21:06.720
half a plus twenty five hundred, So you would have
1433
01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:09.359
done pretty well for yourself if you had thought that
1434
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:13.119
that was going to be a plus twenty five hundred. Well,
1435
01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:16.439
like I said, once again, as you're getting close to
1436
01:21:16.600 --> 01:21:20.079
the end of the transfer window, the primary window here
1437
01:21:20.119 --> 01:21:26.039
for Major League Soccer, Tommy Scoops Slovakia international forward Robert
1438
01:21:26.119 --> 01:21:32.760
Bojenik hoping to complete a transfer from Boavista Medical coming Tuesday.
1439
01:21:32.800 --> 01:21:36.079
The player is already in Utah. Deals agreed between all
1440
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:38.600
parties for two million bucks. One sources said, there's a
1441
01:21:38.640 --> 01:21:41.239
bit of a haggle over which the currency the two
1442
01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:47.640
million was reached in. Is it two million euro which
1443
01:21:47.720 --> 01:21:52.359
is two point three or is it two million US
1444
01:21:52.560 --> 01:21:58.720
which is not two million euro. According to Tommy Scoops,
1445
01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:01.079
RSIL still hopeful of sign and i'll transfer docs on
1446
01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:04.399
Tuesday after the medical Egenic would hit the roster as
1447
01:22:04.439 --> 01:22:14.239
a DP. You remember our talk about boa Vista right,
1448
01:22:17.399 --> 01:22:21.039
I read the first part of this and this is
1449
01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:25.000
literally this is it's a developing story because it hasn't
1450
01:22:25.079 --> 01:22:29.359
been signed. It's not quite breaking news because he hasn't signed.
1451
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:34.920
We'll call it a developing story. But the hook in
1452
01:22:35.079 --> 01:22:38.920
it is this. You remember the conversations in the past
1453
01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:45.960
that we've had about Bula Vista. Bula Vista is the
1454
01:22:46.319 --> 01:22:50.279
financial equivalent of falling out of the chair trying to
1455
01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:57.920
tie your shoes. Bula Vista can't rub two sticks together
1456
01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:09.399
and pay the bills. You'll remember that last transfer window,
1457
01:23:10.640 --> 01:23:15.039
Bula Vista, I want to say, signed six new guys.
1458
01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:18.680
I don't know where the money came from. I don't
1459
01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:22.159
know where the money went. I don't know if the
1460
01:23:22.199 --> 01:23:26.680
money existed. What I also don't know is if these
1461
01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:34.800
players got paid on time. Boavista has problems paying their
1462
01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:40.520
bills and keeping their lights on. So I initially gravitated
1463
01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:44.800
to a story that you'll remember about our friends at Bolavista,
1464
01:23:44.800 --> 01:23:47.600
and we'll talk to our buddy Nino Torres about this
1465
01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:53.880
on Thursday. So two million, and you read that paragraph
1466
01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:58.640
as your mind drifts back to the past and Boula
1467
01:23:58.720 --> 01:24:04.720
Vista and Major Soccer. The deal is agreed for two
1468
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:07.239
million dollars, but one source says there's a bit of
1469
01:24:07.399 --> 01:24:11.359
haggle over which currency the two million agreement was reached in.
1470
01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:18.079
So if it's two million euro at two point three
1471
01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:21.640
million dollars, so three hundred thousand, so it's like what
1472
01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:29.439
dollars seventeen? So is it two million US which would
1473
01:24:29.439 --> 01:24:36.560
be like one point seven so one point seven million
1474
01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:40.439
US two million? Or is it two million US which
1475
01:24:40.439 --> 01:24:43.720
would be like one point seven million euro. I'll get
1476
01:24:43.760 --> 01:24:45.840
my financing straight here in a second. Or is it
1477
01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:48.000
two million euro which is two point three million dollars.
1478
01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:57.960
Let's go back to twenty twenty. FC Dallas still has
1479
01:24:58.079 --> 01:25:01.000
not received the complete payment in a deal that sent
1480
01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:06.359
Reggie Cannon to Bowl of Vista in twenty twenty. Dallas
1481
01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:11.680
requested RS, I'll just pay them to pay them instead
1482
01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:19.199
of Bowl of Evista, but that request was denied. So
1483
01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:26.520
Bolavista needs the cash to pay something. It would have
1484
01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:29.600
made a lot of sense for Bolavista to just kind
1485
01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:31.680
of sit there and say, yeah, we know we OWEFCD,
1486
01:25:31.800 --> 01:25:34.960
go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, But no, Bowl of
1487
01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:41.279
Easta needs the money for something, meal plan, you know,
1488
01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:48.079
car insurance, electric bill, paying the six dudes that they
1489
01:25:48.199 --> 01:25:54.079
signed in the last window. Anything they got to pay
1490
01:25:54.159 --> 01:26:06.640
somebody something. But five years running, Reggie Cannon was transferred
1491
01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:14.239
from FCD to Bolvista five years ago, five not one,
1492
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:20.039
not two, not three, not four, but five. Twenty twenty,
1493
01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:27.880
Reggie Cannon transferred from FCD to Bolve Easta. FCD still
1494
01:26:27.880 --> 01:26:37.520
hadn't gotten paid incomplete completely. So if we if we
1495
01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:40.319
do if we do a basic if we do a
1496
01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:46.840
basic search on the Google machine with FCD and boul
1497
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:56.279
of Easta. Back in August eighth of twenty twenty four,
1498
01:26:58.119 --> 01:27:03.399
Reggie Cannon was supposed to pay his former club one
1499
01:27:03.439 --> 01:27:09.720
point four million dollars for an early contract termination. Left
1500
01:27:09.760 --> 01:27:13.479
the club unlawfully before the conclusion of his contract. According
1501
01:27:13.640 --> 01:27:17.680
to FIFA, twenty six year old left the club in
1502
01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:21.479
Juna twenty three due to reported unpaid wages. So then
1503
01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:26.680
what does Boavista do? They take him to court. The
1504
01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:32.520
only thing missing is Doug Leewellen and Judge Watner. Cannon
1505
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:35.199
had forty five days to pay Bola Vista, which included
1506
01:27:35.199 --> 01:27:37.720
a five percent interest fee, but his current club QPR
1507
01:27:37.880 --> 01:27:40.119
is going to complete the compensation payment of about seventy
1508
01:27:40.119 --> 01:27:42.479
one thousand dollars. This was back at the time of
1509
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:48.680
the court case August and ninth of last year. As
1510
01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:52.239
part of the ruling, bola Vista will also have to
1511
01:27:52.279 --> 01:27:55.159
pay Canon eighty five, two hundred and twenty six dollars
1512
01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:59.439
in unpaid wages plus five percent interest. So by the
1513
01:27:59.560 --> 01:28:08.800
time all of this washes, basically Bolavista still owed Reggie
1514
01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:13.560
Cannon or somebody. So if you paid seventy one thousand dollars,
1515
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:17.960
then Bolavista would have to pay Reggie Cannon eighty five
1516
01:28:18.039 --> 01:28:24.239
two twenty six plus another four thousand two So basically
1517
01:28:24.279 --> 01:28:31.520
you're looking at like eighty nine to five. So basically
1518
01:28:31.680 --> 01:28:35.960
Reggie Cannon still has owed like eighteen grand as of
1519
01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:39.640
eight months ago. All right, Addy, good to see you.
1520
01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:49.399
So Reggie Cannon is owed after five years after a
1521
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:53.319
deal was struck between FC Dallas and Boulavista, and then
1522
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:56.680
after leaving in June twenty three, two years ago, basically
1523
01:28:57.760 --> 01:29:03.439
about fifteen grand. So whatever the math is, if I'm
1524
01:29:03.640 --> 01:29:10.560
if I'm mathing correctly, bul Vista wasn't paying Reggie Cannon.
1525
01:29:11.319 --> 01:29:14.760
Reggie decided to leave. He wanted to sue instead of
1526
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:17.960
not Instead of sitting around in Portugal not getting paid,
1527
01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:23.560
Reggie wanted to play football. QPR was like okay, Reggie's
1528
01:29:23.560 --> 01:29:27.119
like nope, I'm done. I'm ripping up my deal. So
1529
01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:29.479
what is bol Avista do? We'll take him to court,
1530
01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:36.000
and by the time it was done, Cannon ordered to
1531
01:29:36.039 --> 01:29:38.880
pay Bolavista one point four million for leaving the club early.
1532
01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:47.399
One point four million dollars for leaving the club early
1533
01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:51.880
because they ain't paying you on time. And so Bolavista
1534
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.840
once again this year, decided in the transfer window to
1535
01:29:54.880 --> 01:29:58.880
bring in like half a dozen dudes stuff like this
1536
01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:00.239
to make you not want to go to Ball of
1537
01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:04.399
Easter or deal with Ball of EASTA. Twenty one appearances
1538
01:30:04.439 --> 01:30:11.479
for QPR last year and they began their season this season.
1539
01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:17.840
So let's see what Reggie's been up to this year.
1540
01:30:19.640 --> 01:30:28.840
In transfermarked the twenty six year old hanging out with
1541
01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:37.800
Colorado after his time at QPR. So if you see
1542
01:30:37.920 --> 01:30:44.520
Reggie Cannon, don't bring up Ball of EASTA. If in
1543
01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:47.920
mid August when Atlanta goes out to Commerce City, Colorado
1544
01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:54.479
to go take on QPR, don't mention Ball of EASTA
1545
01:30:54.560 --> 01:31:03.119
or Reggie Cannon. Just don't do it. And was September
1546
01:31:03.199 --> 01:31:07.479
twenty third September twenty six to twenty three picked up
1547
01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:13.880
by QPR, the twenty one matches last year, then he
1548
01:31:14.039 --> 01:31:17.439
goes to go and then he goes to be in Colorado.
1549
01:31:19.720 --> 01:31:23.720
Played eight matches last year ten if you include well
1550
01:31:23.880 --> 01:31:26.800
eight matches last year in twenty four after the season
1551
01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:31.199
was over at QPR. Now he's been in eight matches
1552
01:31:31.239 --> 01:31:34.800
this year all comps, six matches, four hundred and eighty
1553
01:31:34.800 --> 01:31:36.800
two minutes. For Reggie Cannon mostly is a right back.
1554
01:31:37.880 --> 01:31:40.640
Just don't ever, if you ever see the Colorado Rapids play,
1555
01:31:41.359 --> 01:31:43.479
don't ever bring up Bowl of Easta to Reggie Cannon.
1556
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:49.199
So somewhere in all of this blanken math, Bull of
1557
01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:52.199
Easta still hadn't paid FC Dallas on the transfer fee,
1558
01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:57.720
didn't pay Reggie Cannon, but then FIFA ordered him to
1559
01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:00.359
pay one point four million dollars because he on his
1560
01:32:00.439 --> 01:32:03.560
contract early. Because he wasn't getting paid. There's a great
1561
01:32:03.640 --> 01:32:09.399
racket for Bola Vista, allegedly, and so Cannon would come
1562
01:32:09.399 --> 01:32:14.159
out with about fourteen thousand dollars ahead of time. But yeah,
1563
01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:16.520
if you if you ever see Colorado and Reggie Cannon,
1564
01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:22.640
don't mention Bolavista. Back to our original story. Bogenic twenty
1565
01:32:22.720 --> 01:32:25.800
five forty eight capsules Slovakia in nineteen and four over
1566
01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:28.239
the last three seasons with bol of Vista four goals
1567
01:32:28.279 --> 01:32:32.960
won assist in twenty four hundred minutes. Beyond Bogenic, they're
1568
01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:35.640
also looking to bring in other reinforcements before the deadline,
1569
01:32:37.319 --> 01:32:39.760
so keep an eye on Bijenic and RSL. They need
1570
01:32:39.880 --> 01:32:45.520
scoring and Noel buck Is going from went from New
1571
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:49.680
England to San Jose to continue Bruce Arena West. San
1572
01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:52.720
Jose also agreed to a deal with Dwan Jones from Columbus,
1573
01:32:56.760 --> 01:33:03.119
so there's some stuff. There is some stuff going on
1574
01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:05.680
in Major League Soccer once again getting close to the
1575
01:33:05.760 --> 01:33:11.199
deadline tomorrow, so we'll see what happens across the board
1576
01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:17.840
with the end of this go round in the transfer
1577
01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:23.399
deadline talk involving Major League Soccer and everything that is
1578
01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:29.159
going on there. So Bijenic final stages as of about
1579
01:33:29.159 --> 01:33:38.159
twenty minutes ago, haggling over the currency. I am not
1580
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:50.279
shocked by this one blanken bite man who knew Bovista
1581
01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:53.439
and haggling over currency. Who knew that would happen? Who
1582
01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:58.840
knew team of the match day last week in Major
1583
01:33:58.920 --> 01:34:08.920
League Soccer? It was gana go mora shallowing your four
1584
01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:18.319
three forwards? Kromowsky Quinn Sullivan, Peglo from DC Evander in
1585
01:34:18.479 --> 01:34:23.640
Den Bay, in Sporting, Chell Awagant, Jeremy Privett, Happy Birthday,
1586
01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:27.680
Sean Johnson and Nette Dean Smith. Your subska es Yemar
1587
01:34:28.159 --> 01:34:33.319
Eddie Ocampo, Owen Wolf, Georgia Mahailovich Andrey Linger Hesus Ferrea,
1588
01:34:33.600 --> 01:34:36.239
Denny Boyonga Chi ch Orongo. So that's your match Day
1589
01:34:36.439 --> 01:34:40.359
nine squad of the Week. Shallowy obviously played the match
1590
01:34:40.479 --> 01:34:45.399
day for what went down in their matchup in the
1591
01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:50.479
eight goal thriller. Oscar Verhoven. San Diego FC acquired on
1592
01:34:50.800 --> 01:34:56.880
loan for one hundred thousand dollars in GAM through the
1593
01:34:56.920 --> 01:34:59.920
twenty five season. Eighteen year old youth international for the US.
1594
01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:03.680
Deal has a purchase option in exchange for twenty twenty
1595
01:35:03.720 --> 01:35:08.119
six GAM and a sell on, so Tyler heaps happy
1596
01:35:08.159 --> 01:35:11.760
about this one, joining Willie Camado Jasper Leefelson in the
1597
01:35:11.840 --> 01:35:14.279
depth chart. They've also got look of Bombino on loan
1598
01:35:14.319 --> 01:35:18.399
from LAFC with Franco Negri and Homedy jop Omir Fernandez
1599
01:35:18.439 --> 01:35:24.199
got picked up by Portland from Colorado for up to
1600
01:35:24.279 --> 01:35:28.000
two hundred and fifty thousand in GAM. Colorado gets two
1601
01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:31.520
hundred thousand this year and could get another fifteen conditional
1602
01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:35.079
twenty six. Fernandez under contract with Portland through twenty six,
1603
01:35:35.159 --> 01:35:41.159
club option for twenty seven. Houston signs Jonathan Bond from
1604
01:35:41.239 --> 01:35:46.880
Watford on contract through twenty six with an option for
1605
01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:50.159
twenty seven since he's a US citizen. Remember, you don't
1606
01:35:50.199 --> 01:35:53.039
have to occupy an international slot because you played for
1607
01:35:53.119 --> 01:35:56.880
a team overseas. So pat onstead happy about picking up
1608
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:00.479
Jonathan Bond from Watford in addition to every thing going
1609
01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:04.560
on with that. Now, let's take the tour yesterday Lester
1610
01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:07.720
got relegated, or over the weekend Lester got relegated Today
1611
01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:12.600
Manchester City and Villa in a makeup match. And if
1612
01:36:13.039 --> 01:36:18.520
Jamie Vardi, by the way, was not happy with Lester
1613
01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:24.000
getting relegated, his contract expires this summer, fourteen seasons with
1614
01:36:24.119 --> 01:36:30.760
the club. Here's what he said on social At this point,
1615
01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:32.359
I don't even know what to say. No words I
1616
01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:35.000
have can ever express my feelings of anger and sadness
1617
01:36:35.039 --> 01:36:37.399
with the way this season is gone. There are no excuses.
1618
01:36:37.479 --> 01:36:40.800
Collectively as players and as a club we failed. There
1619
01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:43.239
is simply no hiding and I refuse to entertain any
1620
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:45.359
suggestions of doing so having been at this club for
1621
01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:48.760
so long, we've experienced so many highs and successes, and
1622
01:36:48.800 --> 01:36:52.439
this season has been nothing but miserable and for me personally,
1623
01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:55.600
a total embarrassment. It hurts, and I know you're feeling
1624
01:36:55.640 --> 01:36:57.720
it too. To the fans, I'm sorry, Sorry we haven't
1625
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:00.800
performed and sorry we end the twenty five season with
1626
01:37:01.039 --> 01:37:09.560
such an ish show. You know, God bless our friends
1627
01:37:09.680 --> 01:37:15.760
at Peacock for trying to how do we phrase this,
1628
01:37:19.479 --> 01:37:22.680
find find a g rated way to talk about the
1629
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:30.640
is show? But Jamie Vardi referred to it as an
1630
01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:34.760
ish show, and ish was not the word that he use. Boten,
1631
01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:38.520
do not be surprised. We go all over the place.
1632
01:37:39.399 --> 01:37:42.520
While we are based here in the southeastern United States,
1633
01:37:42.600 --> 01:37:44.520
we pretty much try to cover everything. Yes, we do
1634
01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:46.199
cover a lot of Major League Soccer, but we do
1635
01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:48.920
cover a lot of everything overseas. We do talk a
1636
01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:53.359
lot about the race for promotion and in some cases
1637
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:56.239
the race for relegation QPR right there, mid Table championship
1638
01:37:57.439 --> 01:38:00.319
and but yeah, when we get into talking about only
1639
01:38:00.359 --> 01:38:04.119
in leads in their promotion to the Premier League, knowing
1640
01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:08.760
that now Sunderland and Lester are going down, excuse me.
1641
01:38:08.840 --> 01:38:12.720
Now a matter of time before Ipswich goes down, then
1642
01:38:13.039 --> 01:38:15.560
who's going to be number three? We'll find out that
1643
01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:19.039
in short order. Wrex them back in the promotion spots
1644
01:38:19.199 --> 01:38:23.119
in League One with two matches to go, so they
1645
01:38:23.239 --> 01:38:26.399
hold the promotion a back to back to back in
1646
01:38:26.439 --> 01:38:29.479
their own hands. Wickham is now in the top promotion
1647
01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:33.279
play in spot in League One. But yeah, Boff and
1648
01:38:33.319 --> 01:38:35.479
I remember when Tony Fernandez and Air Asia were on
1649
01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:37.359
the front of the QPR Jersey. I might actually have
1650
01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:39.920
one in my stacks. But now we are not afraid
1651
01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:42.359
to discuss anything and everything going on overseas. But Jamie
1652
01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:46.960
Vardy less than happy referring to the Ish show that
1653
01:38:47.119 --> 01:38:52.720
is going on for all of that. It's an Ish show, people,
1654
01:38:54.720 --> 01:38:58.439
and the Telegraph is also Tom Morgan Ben Marsden. What
1655
01:38:58.520 --> 01:39:02.279
is it that we always say when you have more
1656
01:39:02.359 --> 01:39:07.000
than one reporter on a byline, that's never a good thing,
1657
01:39:08.279 --> 01:39:10.399
and in this case is definitely not a good thing
1658
01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:17.119
because and I know that this will not I know
1659
01:39:17.239 --> 01:39:22.119
that this will not this will not surprise in any way.
1660
01:39:24.520 --> 01:39:32.279
But the Premier League has charged clubs are charging thousands
1661
01:39:33.399 --> 01:39:36.399
for children to be mascots. Something that you don't see
1662
01:39:36.439 --> 01:39:37.920
here in Major League Soccer because you know how we
1663
01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:40.079
have like the ball kids and all the processionals and
1664
01:39:40.159 --> 01:39:45.560
things like that. Prices have been branded exploitative by campaigners,
1665
01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:48.159
with one team charging up to eighteen hundred pounds for
1666
01:39:48.319 --> 01:39:53.039
the privilege of being a mascot at the beginning of
1667
01:39:53.079 --> 01:39:57.680
a match, fierce criticism obviously for members of Parliament and campaigners.
1668
01:39:58.119 --> 01:40:02.920
The most expensive package searched one hundred and fifty seven percent,
1669
01:40:04.239 --> 01:40:07.319
since clubs previously stood accused of neglecting low income families
1670
01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:10.720
Back in twenty twenty, when Telegraph came out with an analysis,
1671
01:40:11.600 --> 01:40:13.399
half of the top tier clubs now hand at all
1672
01:40:13.439 --> 01:40:17.720
places for free. Forrest, Brighton Palace, Ipswich and west Ham
1673
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:26.520
are still charging rates branded exploitative by critics. That's true.
1674
01:40:26.560 --> 01:40:31.119
I didn't mean a Southampton Southampton. Yes, by the way,
1675
01:40:31.399 --> 01:40:33.479
if you haven't, if you haven't seen the miniseries with
1676
01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:36.800
Sunderland Sunderland until I die go watch it, I did
1677
01:40:36.920 --> 01:40:41.319
mean Southampton. But yes, Alex, I did mean Southampton. They're bad.
1678
01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:46.680
Clubs defend their pricing policies, pointing out hospitality and kit
1679
01:40:46.880 --> 01:40:49.840
is often provided and free spaces also handed out to
1680
01:40:49.880 --> 01:40:55.640
the community. So okay, So clubs are defending pricing policies,
1681
01:40:55.920 --> 01:40:58.600
Well it's you know, it's okay that we're charging eighteen
1682
01:40:58.720 --> 01:41:03.840
hundred pounds for a young child to be a mascot
1683
01:41:03.920 --> 01:41:07.880
and be a part of the walkout because hey, food
1684
01:41:08.079 --> 01:41:13.960
and jersey for the kid, that's included. Seriously, I'm guessing
1685
01:41:14.039 --> 01:41:18.920
that hospitality and kid is often provided. Hey look, you
1686
01:41:19.039 --> 01:41:21.039
get a kid doesn't have your name on it or anything.
1687
01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:27.359
It's not personalized. And hey look you get food. You
1688
01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:31.159
want a hot dog, Sure we'll charge eighteen hundred bucks.
1689
01:41:32.439 --> 01:41:36.680
We'll charge eighteen hundred bucks for being a mascot. Dame
1690
01:41:37.079 --> 01:41:42.640
Caroline Dininage, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee,
1691
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:47.880
She expressed shock quote, it feels a shame that some
1692
01:41:48.000 --> 01:41:50.319
clubs are profiting by pricing so many young fans out
1693
01:41:50.359 --> 01:41:52.560
of this wonderful experience. In twenty twenty when they when
1694
01:41:52.600 --> 01:41:55.600
Telegraph first did this highest rate show up to seven
1695
01:41:55.720 --> 01:41:59.159
hundred pounds, west Ham, Forest, Norch and Villa all advertising
1696
01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:02.479
rates up to five hundred and beyond for the biggest matches.
1697
01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:06.840
Despite complaints, Villa among the clubs to quietly ditch charging families.
1698
01:42:06.920 --> 01:42:12.239
West Ham have also reduced their maximum prices forrest now
1699
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:18.760
charge a category A match. A family must fork out
1700
01:42:18.880 --> 01:42:25.199
eighteen hundred pounds plus VAT for an advertised package which
1701
01:42:25.279 --> 01:42:30.560
covers the child involved in three guests in hospitality. So
1702
01:42:32.079 --> 01:42:36.479
don't know where you sit, but it's the kid plus
1703
01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:43.479
three eighteen hundred pounds plus vat the mascot. Okay, So
1704
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:50.439
here's your here's your freeze. Arsenal members, you know, free
1705
01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:53.640
ballot entry for members, Villa, free ballot for members born
1706
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:57.720
with three ballot, Brentford, free ballot for junior season ticket holders,
1707
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:02.760
Brighton anywhere from two forty to four fifteen. Chelsea's free
1708
01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:06.479
something free at Chelsea. I would have thought that Chelsea
1709
01:43:06.560 --> 01:43:08.079
would have been at the top of the ladder for
1710
01:43:08.159 --> 01:43:12.399
this one. I would have thought that Chelsea would have
1711
01:43:12.399 --> 01:43:15.359
been at the top. But no, apparently they're free. Will
1712
01:43:15.479 --> 01:43:21.640
Wonders never cease. Crystal Palace from two forty to four
1713
01:43:21.760 --> 01:43:26.479
ninety five. Everton's rumored to be free number one't made public.
1714
01:43:27.159 --> 01:43:30.600
Fulham is a prize draw. It's a five dollars entry fee,
1715
01:43:30.680 --> 01:43:32.680
but you can get for a prize draw. You win
1716
01:43:32.760 --> 01:43:35.760
the prize draw, you get to be a mascot. Ip
1717
01:43:35.800 --> 01:43:41.000
switches two hundred and fifty bucks. Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester City
1718
01:43:41.119 --> 01:43:45.840
free ballot entry for members. Manchester United, Newcastle are free.
1719
01:43:46.560 --> 01:43:50.239
Nottingham Forest twelve hundred to eighteen hundred. You get to
1720
01:43:50.279 --> 01:43:52.119
be a mascot and three guests get to come with
1721
01:43:54.079 --> 01:43:59.880
Southampton not Sunderland. Southampton and Spurs are a free ballot.
1722
01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:03.520
West Ham won seventy five to three seventy five Wolves
1723
01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:10.640
last year two ninety to three ninety five. Forrest and
1724
01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:15.800
Brighton reject all criticism of pricing structures, pointing out they
1725
01:44:15.800 --> 01:44:18.279
also hand out multiple places free of charge on any
1726
01:44:18.319 --> 01:44:22.560
given match day. On a match day, Forest said in
1727
01:44:22.600 --> 01:44:25.479
a statement, notting In Forest invite a minimum of two
1728
01:44:25.560 --> 01:44:28.239
match mascots, with one of these being a participant invited
1729
01:44:28.279 --> 01:44:31.239
from our community trust programs and offered free of charge,
1730
01:44:31.479 --> 01:44:33.479
and the other is a part of a hospitality package
1731
01:44:33.479 --> 01:44:35.119
which we can't put a price on as it has
1732
01:44:35.159 --> 01:44:39.119
sold as a wider package consistently. This season, we provided
1733
01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:41.600
multiple free of charge mascot places for each home match,
1734
01:44:41.800 --> 01:44:44.000
with as many as five catered for it some games.
1735
01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:46.640
All these go to deserving children and or young participants
1736
01:44:46.680 --> 01:44:50.600
from our community trust programs. Brighton say they give two
1737
01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:53.399
free mascot spaces every home match. In all away games
1738
01:44:53.560 --> 01:44:55.880
where we only have one mascot, this package is free.
1739
01:44:57.920 --> 01:45:00.279
Remaining packages are sold up to four to fifty dean
1740
01:45:00.760 --> 01:45:03.880
because largely due to the fact that we were regularly
1741
01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:06.520
asked for this service to be provided prior to us offering,
1742
01:45:08.359 --> 01:45:14.720
so we didn't offer it. People asked, and we'll charge.
1743
01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:18.079
We'll charge them for it. Packages tend to sell out
1744
01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:19.720
within a few weeks of them being made available. We
1745
01:45:19.760 --> 01:45:22.640
feel they represent value for money and give children an
1746
01:45:22.720 --> 01:45:25.239
unforgettable experience. I would hope that it would be an
1747
01:45:25.319 --> 01:45:32.760
unforgettable experience if you offered it to them. Hey, you
1748
01:45:32.800 --> 01:45:37.319
want to be a mascot here, get into this drawing costume?
1749
01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:40.760
Maybe five bucks, but hey, you want to be a
1750
01:45:40.840 --> 01:45:45.359
mascot four hundred and fifteen bucks, and you know that
1751
01:45:45.399 --> 01:45:48.279
there are people who will pay it. Critics, however, suggest
1752
01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:50.680
all mascot places should be handed out for free, in
1753
01:45:50.760 --> 01:45:53.920
line with the majority of other top tier clubs, most
1754
01:45:53.960 --> 01:45:59.399
of whom require mascots to be club members, public Accounts,
1755
01:45:59.479 --> 01:46:07.319
Commission Share, Clive Effort MP Pricing working class families out
1756
01:46:07.319 --> 01:46:09.680
of ever being a mascot like this is pure greed.
1757
01:46:10.399 --> 01:46:12.720
Considering the millions Premier League clubs get each year from
1758
01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:14.920
TV deals, how can they justify charging for what many
1759
01:46:14.920 --> 01:46:24.039
as a childhood dream? They should be ashamed. Forest Recent
1760
01:46:24.159 --> 01:46:26.880
research ranked the stadium as the second cheapest top tier
1761
01:46:27.000 --> 01:46:31.439
home ground, lowest average taxifairs in season tickets starting from
1762
01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:35.680
five point fifty. Club also offers the cheapest stadium pies
1763
01:46:36.399 --> 01:46:40.359
at just three dollars thirty three pounds thirty Sorry, Yet
1764
01:46:40.439 --> 01:46:43.720
the top mascot package costs more than the average monthly
1765
01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:47.000
rent in Nottingham for a three bedroom house, which is
1766
01:46:47.119 --> 01:46:51.680
thirteen hundred and seventy three pounds. So choice, as yours
1767
01:46:53.720 --> 01:47:03.399
three bedroom house be a mascot, don't answer that. Other
1768
01:47:03.479 --> 01:47:08.600
clubs take dramatically different approaches and the lower tiers. Tranmere Rovers,
1769
01:47:08.680 --> 01:47:11.079
for example, have a policy in which all young fans
1770
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:13.720
who purchased at kit had an automatic chance to appear
1771
01:47:13.720 --> 01:47:19.720
in the pitch for free. We all should be like
1772
01:47:19.800 --> 01:47:23.720
Tranmere Rovers. That'd be kind of cool. I know why
1773
01:47:23.760 --> 01:47:27.560
that happens that way in lower divisions, but very very cool. Nevertheless,
1774
01:47:28.960 --> 01:47:35.600
So yesterday Forrest knocked off Spurs two to one. It
1775
01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:38.239
was over early, it was a late goal that got
1776
01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:41.119
past Sells, but two goals early in the first half
1777
01:47:42.319 --> 01:47:48.840
over Leads promoted. Burnley promoted. Burnley was up to nil,
1778
01:47:48.880 --> 01:47:53.239
they gave up a late goal themselves, and so Burnley
1779
01:47:53.239 --> 01:47:57.279
and Cheff and so Burnley and Leads up again. And
1780
01:47:57.399 --> 01:48:00.880
now it's up to the others try and figure out
1781
01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:04.640
how they're gonna swing and figure out who's gonna be
1782
01:48:05.399 --> 01:48:16.119
in the in the most expensive game ever, most valuable
1783
01:48:16.199 --> 01:48:21.399
playoff matchup ever. Two matches left in the regular season.
1784
01:48:21.520 --> 01:48:24.520
Sheffield United they're gonna finish third, so everything's gonna go
1785
01:48:24.640 --> 01:48:31.600
through Sheffield United. But right now Sunderland is gonna be
1786
01:48:31.760 --> 01:48:33.760
Sunderland's gonna finish fourth. So you know what your top
1787
01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:36.359
four are gonna be Sun Sheffield United, Sunderland, they're gonna
1788
01:48:36.359 --> 01:48:40.119
be your home teams in the promotion play in Bristol City,
1789
01:48:40.239 --> 01:48:49.000
Coventry City, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Blackburn Rovers five for two and
1790
01:48:49.119 --> 01:48:54.239
if you include West Brom and Swansea, then sure you
1791
01:48:54.359 --> 01:48:56.760
gotta win your last two. You gotta have a lot
1792
01:48:56.800 --> 01:49:00.680
of help. West Brom sacked their coach by the two
1793
01:49:00.760 --> 01:49:05.680
matches to go, Tony Mowbray out relegation by the way
1794
01:49:05.800 --> 01:49:13.119
it's still a street fight. You have seven teams separated
1795
01:49:13.199 --> 01:49:18.159
by six points, Presston North End, Oxford United forty nine,
1796
01:49:18.199 --> 01:49:20.760
Whole City forty eight, Darby's at forty six, big goal
1797
01:49:20.800 --> 01:49:24.520
difference on Lowton, Cardiff's at twenty three, Plymouth Argylls at
1798
01:49:24.520 --> 01:49:29.039
twenty three. Once again, two matches to go. Wrexham won yesterday.
1799
01:49:32.239 --> 01:49:35.680
Big win for them because now once again they are
1800
01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:39.279
in there. They're back in the driver's seat with two
1801
01:49:39.359 --> 01:49:41.880
matches to go. Birmingham City's got two matches in hand.
1802
01:49:41.920 --> 01:49:44.600
They're going to clear one hundred points. That we know.
1803
01:49:46.600 --> 01:49:52.079
Wrexham with the win yesterday at Blackpool eighty six points
1804
01:49:52.119 --> 01:49:58.039
to eighty four on Wickham, same number of matches played,
1805
01:50:00.640 --> 01:50:04.079
same goal difference. Right now at a plus twenty eight.
1806
01:50:04.520 --> 01:50:06.760
Wickham has scored more goals if it comes down to that.
1807
01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:10.600
But right now Birmingham City they're in. They're going, They're
1808
01:50:10.640 --> 01:50:15.520
going up. Tom Brady was pleased. Wrexham eighty six points,
1809
01:50:15.560 --> 01:50:18.640
two matches to go. They hold their third promotion in
1810
01:50:18.680 --> 01:50:24.279
a row in their own hands. But right now the
1811
01:50:24.359 --> 01:50:27.199
sixth spot is between Jess Charman's reading and lighton Orient
1812
01:50:29.600 --> 01:50:33.520
and maybe Bolton, but there are they're way back in
1813
01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:39.800
goal difference. Stockport Charlton Wickham all three points separating each other,
1814
01:50:39.920 --> 01:50:41.399
so they're the three to four and the five trying
1815
01:50:41.439 --> 01:50:44.079
to figure each other out. And that's what that looks like.
1816
01:50:44.199 --> 01:50:52.720
Bristol Rovers, Crawley, Cambridge, they are all fighting to stay afloat.
1817
01:50:53.800 --> 01:50:56.720
Shrewsbury's going down there at thirty points two matches to go,
1818
01:50:57.279 --> 01:50:59.000
no hope for them. They're going down to League Two,
1819
01:51:01.560 --> 01:51:05.279
and I believe Morecambe was relegated back to the National
1820
01:51:05.359 --> 01:51:09.000
League after what happened on Easter Monday, So that's your
1821
01:51:09.239 --> 01:51:11.920
your work there. But yeah, if you if you want
1822
01:51:12.039 --> 01:51:16.039
to be, if you want to be a mascot in
1823
01:51:16.079 --> 01:51:19.920
the Premier League, more often than not, just don't be
1824
01:51:20.000 --> 01:51:24.359
a fan of Forest. Don't be a fan of Forest.
1825
01:51:25.479 --> 01:51:28.760
Norwich is sect Throup and placing Jack Wilsher in charge,
1826
01:51:29.840 --> 01:51:33.840
so keep an eye on that as we look at things,
1827
01:51:33.880 --> 01:51:35.720
and we're probably going to try and figure out a
1828
01:51:35.760 --> 01:51:37.760
way to catch up with things in the Northern Super
1829
01:51:37.840 --> 01:51:40.800
League and find out what's going on there. The new
1830
01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:43.640
women's league in Canada Underway, had a big crowd in
1831
01:51:43.800 --> 01:51:46.840
Vancouver at BC Place for their first matchup, so we'll
1832
01:51:46.880 --> 01:51:48.119
keep an eye on that. We'll see if we can
1833
01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:51.960
talk to folks when it comes to the new the
1834
01:51:52.039 --> 01:51:58.239
new women's league here in this particular hemisphere. Let's see.
1835
01:51:58.279 --> 01:52:00.840
I'm trying to see if there's anything else that we
1836
01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:07.520
might have missed with all okay, so think we might
1837
01:52:07.560 --> 01:52:09.000
be caught up. But let me go to Gossip Berman
1838
01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:10.560
and Nuindo and want to watch or to watch it?
1839
01:52:10.600 --> 01:52:11.920
How to watch it and let you know what's going on.
1840
01:52:13.800 --> 01:52:17.039
Oh oh yeah, we got to talk about Hilo Mudric
1841
01:52:17.720 --> 01:52:21.520
and Ben Jacobs and all of his work that he's
1842
01:52:21.560 --> 01:52:25.439
been getting going on overseas. Manchester United near going agreement
1843
01:52:25.479 --> 01:52:28.159
with Wolves on Mattea's Kunya. Still need to activate the
1844
01:52:28.199 --> 01:52:30.720
sixty two and a half million pound release clause. Manchester
1845
01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:33.520
United is four letter paper. By the way, Manchester United
1846
01:52:33.640 --> 01:52:38.039
is under the impression that we think that Wolves will
1847
01:52:38.279 --> 01:52:41.840
work with us financially. We think that they're going We
1848
01:52:41.960 --> 01:52:45.600
think that they're gonna work with us. The hard answer
1849
01:52:45.680 --> 01:52:51.399
to that is one to bet, Yeah, Bovin, You're not
1850
01:52:51.520 --> 01:52:54.840
the only one clubs are charging for mascots is a
1851
01:52:54.880 --> 01:52:58.640
month's wages in his day job. Yeah, it shouldn't be
1852
01:52:58.720 --> 01:53:02.159
that way. And to answer your other two questions really
1853
01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:06.439
quickly debate. They're still debating whether or not they're going
1854
01:53:06.520 --> 01:53:10.079
to Major League Soccer here, the top league in top
1855
01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:14.439
league domestically, if they're going to flip to the international calendar.
1856
01:53:14.720 --> 01:53:16.079
It can be done, but you're going to have to
1857
01:53:16.159 --> 01:53:19.880
figure out how to do it. Don't know how majority
1858
01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:23.399
of the folks feel when it comes to aligning itself
1859
01:53:23.439 --> 01:53:25.319
with everyone else, But if it would happen, I think
1860
01:53:25.359 --> 01:53:28.439
it would happen probably in twenty seven if it's going
1861
01:53:28.520 --> 01:53:32.000
to be and here specifically, I know that you asked
1862
01:53:32.000 --> 01:53:35.600
about development and sports and things. Like I said, high
1863
01:53:35.640 --> 01:53:37.159
school show's coming up in a little over an hour
1864
01:53:37.199 --> 01:53:41.720
because we're in the postseason, started to starting today. And
1865
01:53:42.800 --> 01:53:46.159
the state of Georgia where we are is the number
1866
01:53:46.359 --> 01:53:48.560
three state in the country when it comes to American
1867
01:53:48.640 --> 01:53:54.840
football and athletes heading to collegiate to play collegiate football,
1868
01:53:56.039 --> 01:54:00.840
but the sport of but futbol, the other football, it's
1869
01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:03.960
growing here as well. And you're getting a lot of
1870
01:54:04.159 --> 01:54:07.600
talent from a lot of small towns that are getting
1871
01:54:07.680 --> 01:54:10.800
looks very very prolific goal scorers, very very good at
1872
01:54:10.840 --> 01:54:13.359
what they do defensively, whether it's in net or in defense,
1873
01:54:13.720 --> 01:54:17.319
you're getting that increase as well. So I would love
1874
01:54:17.359 --> 01:54:20.319
to know the numbers, but I'm fairly certain that it's
1875
01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:22.800
on a growth curve. When it comes to the number
1876
01:54:22.840 --> 01:54:30.039
of folks who are going to the collegiate level here
1877
01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:32.920
in the state of Georgia, I would venture to say
1878
01:54:33.000 --> 01:54:35.640
that it's probably once again a top five state in
1879
01:54:35.720 --> 01:54:39.920
the country when it comes to talent the sport of
1880
01:54:40.000 --> 01:54:42.520
soccer heading to the next level. And I mean that
1881
01:54:42.720 --> 01:54:44.960
just going collegiately. I'm not talking about folks going pro
1882
01:54:45.119 --> 01:54:48.640
and choosing that path. I'm just talking academically, where you
1883
01:54:48.760 --> 01:54:52.319
finish up secondary school, you go to college. I think
1884
01:54:52.479 --> 01:54:55.319
it's probably a top five in the country when it
1885
01:54:55.399 --> 01:54:57.800
comes to that kind of distribution. But then you also
1886
01:54:57.880 --> 01:55:00.920
have those athletes that go through academies and the academies
1887
01:55:01.159 --> 01:55:02.800
and want to try to follow the pro path. So
1888
01:55:02.840 --> 01:55:06.079
it's probably top five at least going to the collegiate ranks.
1889
01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:10.520
But when it comes to everyone overall, whether you're going
1890
01:55:10.560 --> 01:55:12.760
collegiate or whether you're going on a pro path, you're
1891
01:55:12.800 --> 01:55:17.720
probably higher than top five. Okay, gossip Berman and Nuendo,
1892
01:55:17.760 --> 01:55:20.479
I love how Manchester United we think wolves will work
1893
01:55:20.520 --> 01:55:24.640
with us once again, grab your ticonder Rogan number two pencil.
1894
01:55:24.840 --> 01:55:27.560
Not so fast, my friend, for a second. I mean,
1895
01:55:27.640 --> 01:55:29.840
Wolves is gonna want Wolves is gonna want to get
1896
01:55:29.880 --> 01:55:34.000
paid if they're interested in matteas Kunya, we're getting paid.
1897
01:55:34.840 --> 01:55:41.560
We haven't being patient. We're gonna hang on to our guy.
1898
01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:45.079
He's our, he's our, he's our, he's our talisman, he's
1899
01:55:45.079 --> 01:55:47.399
our number one. He's gonna get us a lot of
1900
01:55:48.079 --> 01:55:53.279
uh financial remunerations. He's gonna We're gonna get paid. And
1901
01:55:53.880 --> 01:55:57.399
sure enough, Why why should I be patient? If I'm
1902
01:55:57.439 --> 01:56:00.119
if I'm Wolves, If someone wants to come up to me, Hey,
1903
01:56:00.159 --> 01:56:03.159
we're interested in mateyaskuonye, We'll pay you in full. And
1904
01:56:03.359 --> 01:56:09.439
you are Tranmere Rovers. Okay, that's cool. And then Manchester
1905
01:56:09.560 --> 01:56:12.600
United stomps their feet. But but, but, but all you
1906
01:56:12.640 --> 01:56:14.920
gotta do is point look, Tranmere Rovers is cutting us
1907
01:56:14.920 --> 01:56:18.520
a check. They hit the release clause at sixty two
1908
01:56:18.520 --> 01:56:24.199
and a half million, and we're ready to go. That's
1909
01:56:24.239 --> 01:56:27.720
how this rolls. I see the lack of patience. I
1910
01:56:27.800 --> 01:56:33.600
see more laughter than patients. Oh huh, Manchester United cut
1911
01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:36.159
is like the Whimpy philosophy and the old Popeye cartoon
1912
01:56:36.359 --> 01:56:39.039
gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today, We'll pay
1913
01:56:39.079 --> 01:56:41.680
you down the line. We'll just we just want matayaskuny,
1914
01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:48.439
not fam. That's not how this works. Not happening. Mm hmm. Nope,
1915
01:56:48.479 --> 01:56:50.359
you trigger the release clause. You're paying us in full.
1916
01:56:52.880 --> 01:56:54.720
Although it would be funny if trained Mere Rovers triggered
1917
01:56:54.760 --> 01:56:56.680
the release clause. I don't quite down you never see that,
1918
01:56:56.800 --> 01:57:00.319
but still uh. United sent scouts to watch Portoke heaper
1919
01:57:00.359 --> 01:57:03.479
Diego Costa as they look for a replacement for Onana.
1920
01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:06.720
Manchester City are interested in Costa, who has a release
1921
01:57:06.760 --> 01:57:09.319
clause of sixty four point three million pounds or seventy
1922
01:57:09.359 --> 01:57:12.560
five million Europe. Arsenal have opened up talks for Victor
1923
01:57:12.640 --> 01:57:15.159
jokaresh in the summer window. A lot of stuff to
1924
01:57:15.239 --> 01:57:18.920
catch up with Nino on on Thursday. Arsenal consider athletic
1925
01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:22.920
Bill Bowles Nico Williams a key target players undecided as
1926
01:57:22.920 --> 01:57:24.680
to whether he wants to leave the club this summer.
1927
01:57:25.239 --> 01:57:28.079
Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly will sign a new contract with
1928
01:57:28.159 --> 01:57:30.399
the club after Chelsea showed interest in the U twenty
1929
01:57:30.439 --> 01:57:34.199
midfielder that's from for Britzio Romano. Manchester United have maintained
1930
01:57:34.239 --> 01:57:38.319
contact with Benjamin Cesco's agent since he rejected and moved
1931
01:57:38.319 --> 01:57:42.199
to Old Trafford in twenty two City and Bernardo Silva
1932
01:57:42.279 --> 01:57:44.840
set to be the subject of interest with Barcelona once
1933
01:57:44.840 --> 01:57:48.319
again this summer. Spurs weighing up a thirty million pounds
1934
01:57:48.359 --> 01:57:52.920
summer offer for Chelsea's midfielder at Ronato Vega. Spurs in
1935
01:57:52.960 --> 01:57:56.319
Manchester City are set to battle it out for Lazio's Mariohila,
1936
01:57:57.760 --> 01:57:59.920
but they're going to face a competition from Real Madrid,
1937
01:58:00.000 --> 01:58:03.119
Bayern Munich for the center back. Manchester United expecting to
1938
01:58:03.159 --> 01:58:07.600
receive several loan offers from championship clubs for you eighteen
1939
01:58:07.640 --> 01:58:11.560
fullback Kerry Amas, who is eighteen. That's also from GMS
1940
01:58:12.159 --> 01:58:15.199
Villa exploring the possibility of selling Ali Watkins for fifty
1941
01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:18.000
to sixty million pounds in sign Marcus Rashford on a
1942
01:58:18.039 --> 01:58:21.760
permanent Bayer Levercusan will not stand in Shabi Alonzo's way
1943
01:58:21.760 --> 01:58:24.439
if he agrees to become Rail manager Real Madrid manager
1944
01:58:24.520 --> 01:58:28.600
this summer. Keep an eye on that one because King
1945
01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:32.720
Carlo probably out the door, and so who goes and
1946
01:58:33.039 --> 01:58:36.680
you'll get to see the the dominoes fall from there.
1947
01:58:37.560 --> 01:58:42.199
So Ben Jacobs had an exclusive interview with Sergei Palkin
1948
01:58:43.560 --> 01:58:49.119
the Shacktar CEO reveals that Mihailo Mudrick passed a lie
1949
01:58:49.239 --> 01:58:53.039
detector test trying to clear his name from the doping band.
1950
01:58:53.119 --> 01:58:58.159
Sustained on international duty for Ukraine last November, provisionally suspended
1951
01:58:58.199 --> 01:59:00.800
by the FA after an asample or learned positive for
1952
01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:07.279
meldonium denies knowingly taking a banned substance. Athletes strictly liable
1953
01:59:07.319 --> 01:59:10.000
for anything ingested unless they can prove sabotage or a
1954
01:59:10.079 --> 01:59:13.880
flaw in testing protocol. Mudric faces a band of up
1955
01:59:13.920 --> 01:59:20.520
to four years if found guilty. Meldonium Like It's spell
1956
01:59:20.600 --> 01:59:28.079
Meldonium so Meldonium pharmaceutical developed in nineteen seventy in the
1957
01:59:28.239 --> 01:59:39.920
USSR Latvia Institute of Organic Synthesis, now manufactured pharmaceutical company Grindex.
1958
01:59:40.279 --> 01:59:44.640
Various generic products primarily distributed Eastern Europe, used as as
1959
01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:51.920
an ischemium medication prescribed for cardiovascular neurological conditions. Let me
1960
01:59:52.319 --> 01:59:55.279
because it's like off to the side here, okay, So
1961
01:59:55.560 --> 02:00:00.880
the trade name is Mildrinate manufactured by Grindex very generic producers,
1962
02:00:00.920 --> 02:00:06.079
primarily as an anti ischemia medication prescribed for cardiovascular, neurological
1963
02:00:06.119 --> 02:00:09.880
and metabolic conditions due to to its anti ischemic and
1964
02:00:09.960 --> 02:00:16.079
cardioprotective effects achieved by inhibiting beta oxidation and activating glycolysis.
1965
02:00:18.119 --> 02:00:21.800
Athletes have used meldonium to enhance recovery and controversially this
1966
02:00:21.880 --> 02:00:24.399
is from our Friends of the Wikipedia's performance, though these
1967
02:00:24.399 --> 02:00:29.560
claims lack robust scientific support. Listed as a banned substance
1968
02:00:29.640 --> 02:00:33.000
by WATA since New Year's Day of January twenty sixteen,
1969
02:00:33.600 --> 02:00:39.760
functions as a metabolic modulator altering enzymatic reactions. Some athletes,
1970
02:00:39.800 --> 02:00:44.640
including Maria Maria Sharapova, remember used meldonium before the ban.
1971
02:00:45.159 --> 02:00:49.000
Effectiveness as a performance enhancer remains controversial. Numerous athletes have
1972
02:00:49.079 --> 02:00:54.399
since been suspended or disqualified for its use. So primarily
1973
02:00:54.520 --> 02:00:59.760
used for treating cardiovascular neurological conditions created in the USSR
1974
02:00:59.840 --> 02:01:05.880
Land via Institute of Organic Synthesis in nineteen seventy so.
1975
02:01:06.159 --> 02:01:12.399
Jacobs catches up with palkin forty four appearances for Shacktar
1976
02:01:12.439 --> 02:01:15.079
between eighteen and twenty three, before joining Chelsea in twenty
1977
02:01:15.119 --> 02:01:17.960
three for seventy million euro plus a further thirty million
1978
02:01:18.079 --> 02:01:22.239
euro and add ons Shacktar could lose the bonuses if
1979
02:01:22.319 --> 02:01:27.880
Mudric doesn't play for Chelsea again. Palkin to Jacobs, he
1980
02:01:27.920 --> 02:01:30.119
doesn't understand how it could have happened. He has no clue,
1981
02:01:30.199 --> 02:01:32.920
no idea at all. So his lawyers organized for him
1982
02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:35.760
to take a light detector test, which he passed. It
1983
02:01:35.800 --> 02:01:38.239
will form part of the evidence showing he didn't intentionally
1984
02:01:38.319 --> 02:01:41.720
do anything wrong. Morning for card Mudric has been clear
1985
02:01:41.800 --> 02:01:44.119
it's not his fault that he tested positively. Now need
1986
02:01:44.199 --> 02:01:45.920
to find out how this happened and who did this.
1987
02:01:46.399 --> 02:01:48.680
His lawyers are trying to find out. Still no results
1988
02:01:48.680 --> 02:01:52.560
from the b sample. Shaktarh also has a vested interest.
1989
02:01:52.880 --> 02:01:56.319
The bonuses are linked to his performance, as if he's
1990
02:01:56.359 --> 02:01:58.960
not playing, it causes problems because we could potentially lose
1991
02:01:59.000 --> 02:02:05.000
a thirty million euro back in twenty three Mudrik once again.
1992
02:02:05.039 --> 02:02:08.560
You'll remember that he paraded around Stamford Bridge wearing a
1993
02:02:08.680 --> 02:02:14.239
Ukrainian flag. Mudrik's move directly benefited thousands of Ukrainian victims
1994
02:02:14.279 --> 02:02:17.119
of the war, according to Jacob's Because Shaktar's owned a
1995
02:02:17.159 --> 02:02:20.600
renunt Akmantov donated a large portion of the funds to
1996
02:02:20.760 --> 02:02:25.079
humanitarian causes. Pal can tell Jacobs that Renat Akmentov gave
1997
02:02:25.159 --> 02:02:28.439
twenty five million euro from the Mudrik sale to support
1998
02:02:28.479 --> 02:02:33.039
our defense against Russia and provide ad Ukraine. Mister Akmanov
1999
02:02:33.079 --> 02:02:35.079
has donated over three hundred and fifty million euro, the
2000
02:02:35.159 --> 02:02:38.520
largest amount among all private Ukrainian companies or individuals. Sets
2001
02:02:38.560 --> 02:02:40.520
the tone in under his leadership, we are all one family,
2002
02:02:40.600 --> 02:02:43.159
will fight until the end. The rest of the Mudrik
2003
02:02:43.199 --> 02:02:46.520
fee was also vil to safeguard Shaktar's future. Shaktar have
2004
02:02:46.560 --> 02:02:49.600
suffered financial hardships as a result of the war, forced
2005
02:02:49.640 --> 02:02:51.880
to pay off around forty million euro in debt to
2006
02:02:51.920 --> 02:02:57.560
comply with FFP, which is silly and avoid a band
2007
02:02:57.600 --> 02:03:01.119
from European competition, losing foreign players for free after FIFAS
2008
02:03:01.119 --> 02:03:04.199
suspended player coaching contracts in Ukraine in twenty twenty two
2009
02:03:04.319 --> 02:03:09.640
via an Annex seven clause written into the biolines. So
2010
02:03:12.119 --> 02:03:16.840
Shaktar had to pay off forty million euro while their
2011
02:03:16.880 --> 02:03:20.600
country is in a war to comply with FFP to
2012
02:03:20.680 --> 02:03:25.640
avoid a ban, Yet they lose players for free over
2013
02:03:25.800 --> 02:03:34.800
transfers over NX seven for card I would suggest at
2014
02:03:34.840 --> 02:03:37.279
some point, just some point today, we'll post it later.
2015
02:03:37.680 --> 02:03:41.000
We caught up with Mark Geiger from pro batted lead
2016
02:03:41.000 --> 02:03:42.359
off this morning and so he had a good twenty
2017
02:03:42.399 --> 02:03:44.680
minute discussion about pro and hopefully it was an education
2018
02:03:44.840 --> 02:03:47.039
for folks. And I know I probably left some things
2019
02:03:47.079 --> 02:03:48.920
on the table, but the first twenty minutes of the
2020
02:03:48.920 --> 02:03:50.720
show we talked to Mark Geiger and that'll be posted
2021
02:03:50.760 --> 02:03:52.439
to the networking go back and listen to the show
2022
02:03:52.479 --> 02:03:57.039

2023
02:03:57.319 --> 02:03:59.560
and a light detector from our friend Ben Jacobs Golden
2024
02:03:59.560 --> 02:04:02.319
Ticket Hole or overseas, what to watch, where to watch it,
2025
02:04:02.359 --> 02:04:05.920
how to watch it. We'll get into that and let
2026
02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:08.319

this morning. I hope it helped. Like I said, I'm
2059
02:06:06.760 --> 02:06:08.399
fairly certain there's a lot of stuff on the table
2060
02:06:08.520 --> 02:06:11.039
that we could have gotten into more detail on, but
2061
02:06:11.119 --> 02:06:12.520
we had him for twenty minutes and it was like

02:07:29.520 --> 02:07:33.720

the playoffs coming your way here in the GHSA presentatives
2089
02:07:37.000 --> 02:07:40.239
always by our friends at Kaiser Permanente. And since it
2090
02:07:40.439 --> 02:07:44.439
is the end of the show, that means I get
2091
02:07:44.479 --> 02:07:45.920
to do this unless I screwed it up and I
2092
02:07:46.000 --> 02:07:47.920
completely and totally messed up the banner, So we'll try
2093
02:07:47.960 --> 02:07:50.239
it again tomorrow or actually we'll try it again at
2094
02:07:50.239 --> 02:07:52.800
about fifty minutes see it then, folks would be good.
2095
02:07:53.039 --> 02:07:56.399
