My actual biggest takeaway from that half, opposition acknowledged, is that you cannot tell me that Linnehan would not have really helped in certain moments this season.

The Hogan derp was actually fucking hilarious, as in "rec league" hilarious. I left right after that actually laughing it was so bad,

OMFG this is SUCH a bad team right now. Ken would be hard-pressed to succeed at the U-8 level.

So, I've decided that if I dump my tickets I'm not going to do it over the price increase. I mean, yeah, it sucks, but it's not that much money in the grand scheme of things. Heck, the tickets themselves aren't that much in the grand scheme of things. If I dump them, it's because I have lost faith in the direction of the club... full stop.

Same. It hurts my heart. We have been coming to the games for 10 years. My daughter grew up watching from the north end. We came during the COVID years. We came during the stadium rebuild. We came to every game in 2015. All The heart breaking losses in the playoffs. I don't even recognize this team now. It used to mean something to be a Thorn. Now, I don't know. It' more than just a losing season. It's a loss of identity. We have lost our way.

That was depressing even though it was a W

Remember when the Thorns used to be a great team?

Sauerbrunn and Flemming are warning up and passing it back and forth with maybe 35 yards between them. Flemming just kicked it to fucking Mars and Becky made her go get it. This team is gonna kill me but also lol

Just get a player’s name right??

Expand full comment

Fleming: the player so overhyped and useless that her name doesn't even help new learners of English learn the orthographic conventions of the English language.

Izzy can’t score . She could have a hat trick by now

Expand full comment

If she is still here after the offseason...

Expand full comment

She has to be transferred. I think two years is a big enough sample size . She seems like an extremely hard worker but it just hasn’t worked

Expand full comment

She should go to the USL. She’s just not good enough at this level

Expand full comment

I think she would fit in there too

Expand full comment

She DOES have a hat-trick... of non-goals.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think Sheva might be taking my “oh my god I can’t watch this anymore” belt from Izzy. A real two horse race.

Payne quickly moving up the ranks with her paralyzingly slow decision making.

Expand full comment

What was it about Sheva? ask bc I remember thinking she was actually standing out as less awful than the rest. Her blast from range required the Santa Fe keeper to make a save where a photo of that will be hanging on her wall at home.

Nice work Linnehan!

This is the probably last time you’ll ever hear me say this, but please put sinc on the field

Expand full comment

I said that 5 minutes into watching lolol. I was like please put Sinc on right now after D'Aquila missed her 5th sitter.

Expand full comment

You got it…

The monkey's paw is it'll be Sinc for Linnehan

When goalkeepers become wingers for the other team. 12 on 10.

What a FUBAR that was.

Expand full comment

This team is terribly built depth made out of players that aren’t this level. And pair that with a bad coach. Disaster

Expand full comment

Makes me wonder if coming expansions will have enough sufficiently skilled players. Small player pool ya know
