4
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.560

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>buttons to push and I want I don't want that.

6

<v Speaker 1>I want me. I want me to be here. I

7
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>don't want that to be here. So what happened? What

8
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>did I do last time to get rid of that?

9
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>What did I do? I'm trying to remember. So yeah,

10
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's one of those mornings where it's like, you know,

17
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>remember what I did, so no, no, no, no, no,

18
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.799

22
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>SDH John, hear you there, Thanks for dropping by. It's

23
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>the removed button is what I've got to figure out. So,

24
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I said, you're trying to figure out

25
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>new things, and it's a bit of an adventure on

26
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>occasion trying to figure out. It's like, you know, you

27
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>think you got something and then you don't, and you're

28
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>just like, yeah, I thought I hit the right button.

29
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 1>You didn't hit the right button. But you know, it is,

30
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is, all right, John, hear you there,

31
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for dropping by. And it's another week of SDH.

32
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>We're getting back into the normal and it is normal guests,

33
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>normal rotations, those kinds of things. So here's what we

34
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>got this morning. Bart's going to join us an hour

35
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>two because we've got roughing down here. We've got some

36
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>USM and T news we didn't get into. Can't remember

37
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 1>if we got into the retirement of Becky Souerbun or not,

38
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>but there's stuff to get into with barton our number

39
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>two and in our number one. We've got a lot

40
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>of reports on player movement. That's how I'm gonna phrase it,

41
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 1>because it's not you know, like official reports on player movement.

42
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Things aren't officially official. If you caught Morning Espresso this

43
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>morning with Jason, you kind of got an early peak

44
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>on some of it. And we'll go into if these

45
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>players are heading into these locations where they are linked,

46
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>how does it make the team look. So that's what

47
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into. There are a couple of big names

48
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>that came across on the weekend, and we'll get into that,

49
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and we'll let you know, Like I said, we'll let

50
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 1>you know where things stand involving these franchises, these players,

51
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 1>either inbound or outbound, and what it looks like on

52
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the other side. So we've got that. When it comes

53
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to player movement and player reports, we'll get into gossip,

54
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>bermer and and you and though we'll get into what

55
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>to watch or to watch it, how to watch it.

56
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll go back over what happened yesterday on the weekend

57
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>in the prim and we'll get you up to date

58
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>on all of that. We'll get you up to date

59
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 1>with everything else. Yesterday's Manchester United Liverpool matchles as a

60
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>zoo and so we'll get into that and anything else

61
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>on your mind, because it is a reaction Monday over

62
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>under or on par when it comes to anything on

63
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>your brain and the remainder of the week is fairly normal.

64
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday's Tuesday Thoughts, and what we may do is we

65
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 1>may give Kaylor some time off, considering he's got to

66
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>get back to school and he's got to get back

67
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to teaching. Wall past Wednesday is normal. Hopefully Tyler can

68
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>join us and get through his holiday stuff, and so

69
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>we can have Tyler join us to talk about it.

70
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta unighted in the Atlanta United Repertorial Information Exchange Program

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.920

72
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>in the Northeast can join us, Dylan Butler, and get

73
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>his thoughts on what's going on in and around Major

<v Speaker 1>your Thursday thoughts and find out what's going on from

77
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific perspective. When it comes to Nico, you might

78
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>have seen the conversation that was posted involving Nico and

79
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>myself from last week where we got into Craig Wibel,

80
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>where we got into Seattle front office, where we got

81
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.560

89
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>with them after the holiday season's over and find out

90
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in the world of BGM. So that's

91
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the week. Next week. Remember it's from the beach, so

92

94
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens. We'll see if we can dodge

95
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the weather that is supposed to be coming here to

96
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 1>osg HQ, and we'll see if we can get out

97
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 1>in time so we're not held back by any of it,

98
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>so we can be at the beach on full. But yes,

121
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, how many of you show off hands? And yes,

122
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 1>I am going to the ear nose and throat specialist

123
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow to try and figure out if this is in

124
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>fact the yearly dose of the the soreness that comes

125
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>after the first cold. And it has been diagnosed as

126
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a neurogenic cough. And so if you hear me, if

127
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you see me mute on the air, if you hear

128
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 1>me cough unintentionally, it's not because of something that the

129
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 1>guest does. It's because of something that my body is doing.

130
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna get that checked out for the time

131
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 1>this year tomorrow. So I beg your forbearance and dealing

132
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.879
<v Speaker 1>with it today as I was getting ready this morning

133
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to you know, show off things and get you ready

134
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>for other promos across the board, show a hands. How

135
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>many of you? How many of you show of hands?

136
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Are Do you take like morning supplements and things like

137
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that when you start your day? Do you take like vitamins?

138
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you take like thirty eight different things, and you know,

139
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 1>have them all laid out, You have your box, you know,

140
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and you sit there and it's like Monday, and you

141
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>have one of each and you sit there and you

142
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>pop the door open and you take like all thirty

143
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>eight of the pills that are there. I am one

144
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of those people. And so it ends up with vitamin supplements.

145
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me see if I can remember. So it's like

146
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>vitamin supplements, a bunch of preventative stuff like you know,

147
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Cranberry's stuff for the eyes, you know, occupy those kinds

148
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of things, and so it ends up being multi vitamins,

149
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and so it ends up being a barely decent amount

150
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of things that I will put in my body first

151
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>thing in the morning when it comes to vitamins and such.

152
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm one of those people. The reason that I

153
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>ask is this, when you are taking whatever it is

154
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that you're taking, and you have a container in front

155
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>of you that says it has X number of pieces

156
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>of content in the inside the whether it's a you know,

157
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the yeah what the bottle, you know, the

158
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.639
<v Speaker 1>little subscription, the little prescription bottle or the box or whatever.

159
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 1>So that always tells you that you're supposed to take

160
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 1>x amount each day and that the container holds a

161
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 1>certain amount of the particular product that you're taking. I

162
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 1>found it in I don't, and I've got to keep

163
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>an eye on this, and I've got to be vigilant

164
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:27.159
<v Speaker 1>about it. One particular it's not a prescription, but one

165
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>particular thing that I take just to just to take it.

166
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>It's basically it's fiber. So I have I have a

167
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 1>fiber that I take every morning, and you're supposed to

168
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>take two of this particular fiber to satisfy your recommended

169
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>daily allowance. And the container that they come in tells

170
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you that they have an even number of contents, so

171
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>even number of servings, you know. So it's however, many

172
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>pieces of fiber are in the particular can, you take

173
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 1>more than one, and the can is set up for

174
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 1>you to do this. You know, they want you to

175
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 1>buy one of these every single month, you know, like clockwork.

176
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's fifty to the can, and you're supposed to

177
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>take two every time out when you start your day,

178
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 1>So twenty five days of material. Yet I get down

179
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom of the can and there's only one left.

180
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>And it is not something that you can sit there

181
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and screw up and sit there and go, well, oh

182
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I dropped it. Where did it go? Because it's a

183
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>fairly decent sized thing. I mean, it's bigger than a

184
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 1>damn life saver. So you take this, you take two

185
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>of them, and if you were to drop it, you'd know.

186
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So I get to the bottom of this particular can,

187
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and there's only one left, so I have effectively been

188
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.159
<v Speaker 1>shorted a half a serving. And in the grand scheme

189
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 1>of things, I know it doesn't matter monetarily, it's the

190
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 1>principal thing. So I have to now be vigilant in

191
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>my thinking every single time I get to the bottom

192
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of the can when I'm taking this particular supplement, to

193
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>find out if in fact the company that is stashing

194
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>this box with all of the supplements is screwing me

195
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 1>over only giving me one less than the entire box

196
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to give me. So instead of fifty, they've

197
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>given me forty nine. And you're supposed to and you're

198
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to take two servings of this particular product each

199
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 1>and every time out, So twenty five times two is fifty,

200
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>says so on the box. But by the time I

201
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.039
<v Speaker 1>get to the bottom of the box through no er

202
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.919
<v Speaker 1>of my own, and I know that you can sit

203
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 1>there and go, well, Nelson, come on, now, you're you sure,

204
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, yes, I am sure. In this case,

205
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I am sure that I have not been responsible for

206
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>there only being a one piece of fiber at the

207
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the box. I have been given twenty four

208
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and a half servings instead of the twenty five that

209
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 1>they tell me I'm supposed to have. So now from

210
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>this moment forward, I have to think this through. When

211
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.679
<v Speaker 1>I get to the bottom of the box, are you

212
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 1>screwing me by only putting forty nine pieces in there

213
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 1>instead of fifty? Like you said, how many of you

214
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>out there when you are taking your daily supplements end

215
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 1>up with an odd number by the time you're done.

216
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>You know you're supposed to take three or four, you're

217
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>supposed to take two, And by the time you get

218
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom of the container, the bottom of the

219
00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>barrel like half a you're like half a serving. Short

220
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 1>show of hands, Am I the only person here that

221
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>is dealing with this issue when it comes to the

222
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 1>packing of a supplement that you take in the morning.

223
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't know, I'm going to ask that

224
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you be vigilant going forward to find out if we are,

225
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>in fact, as a society only given half servings at

226
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of our containers. That we purchase something on

227
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the auspice that it is going to be a round number.

228
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But when we get to the bottom of the box

229
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 1>or the bottom of the bottle, we have a half

230
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a serving left. The injustice that is attached to all

231
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>of this. This is what I am trying to get

232
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 1>to here. Am I the only person suffering this injustice?

233
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Or am I not alone in my quest and in

234
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 1>my fight to make sure that when we purchase something

235
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.759
<v Speaker 1>that it is the actual number that we are supposed

236
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 1>to be blessed with. I'm just asking. So I would

237
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>ask of you going forward, be vigilant when you get

238
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom of your bottle or the bottom of

239
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>your box and find out if we are as a

240
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>society in fact being screwed by half servings. By the

241
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 1>time we get to the bottom of our container. I'm

242
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be hyper vigilant when it comes to searching

243
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 1>this stuff out. I would ask that you are as well.

244
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.360
<v Speaker 1>It was just something that rubbed me the wrong way

245
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.919
<v Speaker 1>this morning, and so I was like, I've got to ask.

246
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm asking now, am I the only one getting

247
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>screwed here? Or am I not alone in my plight?

248
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Something to keep an eye on going forward? Like I said,

249
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 1>just checking. So I just wanted to see that's opening

<v Speaker 1>can have to go about a size or two up,

297
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>but they're available. They're twenty thirty no home Jersey where

298
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>sport can make a difference. Great to have our buddy

299
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Matt Webb, director of Sponsorships on Friday in our year

300
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.319
<v Speaker 1>end or even though it wasn't quite the year end,

301
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to discuss what's going on with the Marshall Islands. And

302
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>apparently Lloyd ours is heading over in February, so Matt

303
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>has suggested that we catch up with Lloyd after he

304
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>comes back from that trip, and we will do so.

305
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 1>So you can get your Marshall Islands jersey and you

306
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 1>can also get your Marshall Islands scarf which Mattie models

307
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.359
<v Speaker 1>on the Marshall Islands store website. Because when Maddie and

308
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Sophia did that as a part of a senior project

309
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 1>for Maddie as a part of her internship, how many

310
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>people can sit there and say that they were part

311
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 1>of an international marketing campaign as a part of their internship.

312
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking one that being Maddie Cruise and so you've

313
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.640
<v Speaker 1>got that going on, don't forget here. Figured i'd wear

314
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:56.759
<v Speaker 1>this today since I don't have like a still photo.

315

356
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the end of January. We are getting ready for everything

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>going on when it comes to season number eight and

358
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>year number seven here at SDH, and we're going to

359
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>cross over, I want to say, fairly soon next month

360
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 1>or so, another milestone when it comes to lives and

361

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 1>get to where we are and continually being noticed. I

364
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>guess you know the way that we are so very

365
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>very cool stuff going on here at sd We couldn't

366
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 1>do it without you. Okay, all right, So let's take

367
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 1>a quick tour and see who's in already this morning

368
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and say hi to everybody and find out what's going

369
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>on on your brains. Morning, Alex morning. Will Yeah, the

370
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 1>wind streak by the Packers is over. Best mood today

371
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:20.279
<v Speaker 1>after the Bears win in the last second field go

372
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 1>by Cairo Santos yesterday, saw that very chaotic half hour

373
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Witching Hour yesterday, and will is very very

374
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 1>happy with Caleb William's rookie year. Now if he'd only

375
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 1>have some protection and some other weapons. David, good morning

376
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 1>and good morning to me into the fellow Newcastle fans.

377
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 1>On the red hot streak for the Magpies, I could

378
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.119
<v Speaker 1>not quite swing it to where I could pick up

379
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Alexander Esach on my fantasy team, although I did pick

380
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.400
<v Speaker 1>up Lewis Hall. There you go. Will's calling for a

381
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>correlation between the Bears and Atlanta United horrible season redem

382
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 1>at the end with the Packers game in Miami in

383
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, David, Marcus Rashford to Seattle. That is one

384
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:06.119
<v Speaker 1>of the things that we wanted to get into. It

385
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:10.319
<v Speaker 1>is just reports. But what we will do is this,

386
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.759
<v Speaker 1>since you have mentioned it, David, we will get into it.

387
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 1>There are reports, and that's what they are that it's

388
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 1>not news. It is a report. If it was news,

389
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>then we would be getting closer to something like this happening.

390
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:32.519
<v Speaker 1>So there are reports out there about Marcus Rashford and Seattle.

391
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>The obvious issue is the financial component and literally the

392
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 1>money that it would take for Marcus Rashford to go

393
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 1>and be a part of the Seattle Sounders. Jeremiah O'shan,

394
00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 1>by the way, had an article about this, and Jeremiah

395
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 1>goes it's been at least several years since the Sounders

396
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 1>were even tanuously linked with anyone who could reasonably be

397
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.720
<v Speaker 1>called a quote world famous footballer. And then obviously, with

398
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:14.119
<v Speaker 1>the Sounders playing in the Club World Cup, you've got

399
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks that sit there and we're trying

400
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.759
<v Speaker 1>to add one plus one and coming up with eleven instead.

401
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>So rumor comes from Ben Jacobs, and this is at

402
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the tail end of last week. This was a Friday

403
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 1>news dump from Ben Jacobs mentioned the Sounders as a

404
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>possible landing spot for Marcus Rashford and so he noted

405
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>meaning Jacobs, the twenty seven year old might not even

406
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>be interested in the movie, suggest that both MLS and

407
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Apple could be inclined to help make the deal happen.

408
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>And then the team expressing some openness to it is

409
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the Sounders quoting Jacobs where there had been And this

410
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>is on. And what Ben will do occasionally is he

411
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>will do conversations on his YouTube channel and he will

412
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.599
<v Speaker 1>open things up and he'll sit there and go, you know, hey,

413
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:18.839
<v Speaker 1>did you see about this? So sure enough you end

414
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 1>up with an idea and Ben will talk about it.

415
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:32.720
<v Speaker 1>So what happened was for Ben on his YouTube channel,

416
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 1>So he told the YouTube channel MUFCMPB they've had an

417
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 1>internal conversation, meaning the Sounders. The reason at Seattle is

418
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>that they're a Club World Cup rep, which is of

419
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>appeal to anyone they might be interested to sign, and

420
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>because of that, they are to get a minimum of

421
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>forty to sixty pounds for entering the Club World Cup.

422
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>So Major League Soccer could turn around and say you

423
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.559
<v Speaker 1>can suddenly afford to pay for these stars. Budget might

424
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:05.079
<v Speaker 1>not be a problem in quote. In addition to sort

425
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 1>of handwaving the potential cost, Jacob's also quick to note

426
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that no formal overtures have been made. Quote. We shouldn't

427
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.920
<v Speaker 1>overblow the MLS links because Seattle hasn't reached out to

428
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:20.160
<v Speaker 1>either the Rashford camp or Manchester United. It's just an

429
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.920
<v Speaker 1>internal discussion that you would expect to advance in January

430
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>rather than the summer if they decide to proceed, because

431
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the MLS calendar means January is almost like the summer

432
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that you're lining up the main stars.

433
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:35.160
<v Speaker 1>End quote. O'shan continues, Even with the caveats, even if

434
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>there really have been internal conversations, O'shan feels that he

435
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 1>feels it's exceptionally unlikely for a twenty seven year old

436
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>three seasons of at least twenty goal contributions in the

437
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 1>prem even if one of the most recent ones was

438
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 1>in twenty two to twenty three. First thing to note,

439
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 1>based on everything o'shan has been told, sounders are not

440
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 1>expecting anything even close to the Club World Cup payday

441
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 1>that Jacob claims has been guaranteed. O'Shane asked Adrian han

442
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Hour about this last year. Hand Hour scoffed at the number,

443
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:16.200
<v Speaker 1>implied he was expecting a fraction of that amount. Since then,

444
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:19.640
<v Speaker 1>FIFA has struggled to find broadcast partners and sponsors. Remembered,

445
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 1>to Zone has picked up the Club World Cup and

446
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 1>apparently all of the matches are going to be on

447
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Dizonne USA and to Zone worldwide. Of course, there are

448
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.599
<v Speaker 1>those of us who are still trying to raise their

449
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 1>hand publicly and go how am I getting this? I mean,

450
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I could do the smart remote thing and see if

451
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I get to Zone and we'll see what happens over time.

452
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.039
<v Speaker 1>So FIFA might be possible for big clubs to they

453
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>could see relative whin false. FIFA doesn't seem inclined to

454
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.319
<v Speaker 1>send eighteen, like the Sounders more money for playing in

455
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 1>three matches than than they are likely to make in

456
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>ticket sales season. So even if Manchester United comes off

457
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:09.039
<v Speaker 1>their asking price of Rashford, reported to be near seventy

458
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars, still has three years remaining on a

459
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 1>five year deal that apparently guarantees him seventy eight million.

460
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>This year, he's making about twenty that's more than the

461
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Sounders spent on their entire roster last year. The entire

462
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 1>acquisition cost and guaranteed portions of the initial contracts were

463
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.119
<v Speaker 1>both Ladero and Ruie Diaz were less than twenty million combined.

464
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:35.519
<v Speaker 1>As well, last year, the Sounders salary spend was about

465
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:37.799
<v Speaker 1>middle of the pack. Signing Rashford would obviously push him

466
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>into the top three. Could the Sounders blow up their

467
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.440
<v Speaker 1>budget to sign Rashford? O'shan says, sure, but it seems

468
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>exceptionally unlikely. Still, though, O'shan says it's hard to imagine

469
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Jacob's pulling the Sounder's name out of thin air. Someone

470
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>passed along the information, even if it contains a nuggative

471
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>truth that suggests the Sounders or at least willing to

472
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>think big about this upcoming season. Hard to see exactly

473
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>how to make it happen, but maybe there is a

474
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.359
<v Speaker 1>big acquisition in the offing. So Jeremiah went a couple

475
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:16.039
<v Speaker 1>of different directions there when it came to the Marcus

476
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Rashford to Seattle notion. But once again, the big idea is,

477
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 1>would you basically take in theory what you would be

478
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:34.079
<v Speaker 1>making from the club World Cup and then sit there

479
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and go, let's just take this money and instead of

480
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 1>investing it in you know, four or five different players

481
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.799
<v Speaker 1>to help out the roster and the roster depth and

482
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 1>pay our dps whatever we can pay them, or put

483
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the money in the shelf and have it for later.

484
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>The idea of okay, tell you what, We'll just go

485
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:06.440
<v Speaker 1>ahead and flip that dollar and invest it in Marcus Rashford.

486
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Speaker 1>So let's take a peek at Seattle's roster, and this

487
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>is what I wanted to do this morning with a

488
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:20.359
<v Speaker 1>couple of different situations. We'll do this with Austin, and

489
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:25.319
<v Speaker 1>we'll do this with you know, other other clubs as

490
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>we go, because there's other talk about other dudes and

491
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 1>things like that, and so, but let's start with Seattle

492
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>since we're here, right now thirteen players under contract, thirteen

493
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>senior roster spots at ten coo, Jonathan Bell, Leo Chu,

494
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Leo Chew right now is a U twenty two. We

495
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.240
<v Speaker 1>had the discussion with Niko Moreno last week about the

496
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:58.279
<v Speaker 1>deal for Paul Ariola. Nothing officially official yet, but Leo

497
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Chu would be going the other way when it comes

498
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to the ajesu's Ferira deal. So Hasius Ferrara one way

499
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the other way. It's am a boatload of it, an

500
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:16.599
<v Speaker 1>international spot and Leo Chew So nothing officially official yet,

501
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but Leo Chi would be heading the other way to

502
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Dallas fry Ye Margomez Androga, Danny Levia, Jordan Morris, Danny Mussovski,

503
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Christian Roldan, his brother Alex Knew who Obad Vargas is

504
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.279
<v Speaker 1>a homegrown and Pedro dela Vega is a young VP.

505
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Supplementals Baker, Baker Whiting, Castro Reagan, Brodillio Rodriguez and Paul Rothrock.

506
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Four non actives including Georgie Manongu. And then once again,

507
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.799
<v Speaker 1>you're U twenty two is a ten coo and Leo Chew,

508
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.880
<v Speaker 1>so once again this is waiting for all of the

509
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 1>talk that we've had involving Ariola and Ferreira coming inbound

510
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and then signing Jordan Morris to a DP deal. You

511
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.440
<v Speaker 1>can go back into. You can actually can go back

512
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>into Nico's social media because he pulled the sound bites

513
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and the discussions that we had about Aeroline, about Hazus

514
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Ferrera at El Rollo and w on the two hundred

515
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and eighty character app if you want to listen to

516
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.039
<v Speaker 1>it in two to two and a half minute chunks

517
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to the full thirty when we get into

518
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:31.160
<v Speaker 1>these discussions with it. So Seattle, still waiting about you know,

519
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to wait for deadlines and things like that.

520
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:39.799
<v Speaker 1>So still waiting on the whole for the Hasius Ferrera

521
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:43.799
<v Speaker 1>from Dallas for two million in Garber bucks and the

522
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:46.119
<v Speaker 1>international slot in Layo chew to go back the other way,

523
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 1>still waiting on that. Also still waiting on Paul Ariol.

524
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:59.319
<v Speaker 1>But we've discussed them as ideas right now. So if

525
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:04.279
<v Speaker 1>we did let me get into like cap space and

526
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.359
<v Speaker 1>things like that, No, that's not specifically what I wanted

527
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:11.440
<v Speaker 1>at all. Okay, So popular page. This is from our

528
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>friends at spot track. So right now you have in

529
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five. Well let's go back to twenty twenty four,

530
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 1>because twenty twenty five is misleading numbers, and they had

531
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia at the top. So Seattle last season in Major

532
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:38.400
<v Speaker 1>League Soccer was twenty second when it came to salary

533
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 1>cap and cap number and dollars spent at sixteen million,

534
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 1>just over sixteen million, six hundred thousand dollars, twenty second

535
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty nine. So if they were to bring

536
00:34:54.280 --> 00:35:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in Marcus Rashford, top three. By the way, chicag Jago

537
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 1>was number three last year in cap and showed you

538
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:06.960
<v Speaker 1>how successful they were at twenty five to three. Toronto

539
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was at thirty two seven and then obviously Messy and

540
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Friends at forty two north of forty two forty million,

541
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 1>four hundred ninety five thousand, eight hundred and forty four

542
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 1>dollars in senior roster spot to submissions, even had dead

543
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:30.039
<v Speaker 1>money last year from transactions. But anyway, so most certainly

544
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:34.800
<v Speaker 1>if you brought in a Marcus Rashford, you would be

545
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:39.840
<v Speaker 1>top three, you would skyrocket probably to number two. And

546
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:42.000
<v Speaker 1>there's news out of there's reports out of Toronto that

547
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.519
<v Speaker 1>we need to get into as well this morning. Toronto

548
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.199
<v Speaker 1>is another one of the other teams we were getting into,

549
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>so Austin reports, Toronto reports. So if there was a

550
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>situation where Marcus Rashford was going to Seattle, it would

551
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 1>end up being something I know, if you just added

552
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:04.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty million to the whole thing. If you added twenty

553
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.440
<v Speaker 1>million to Seattle, let's put him at thirty six. Basically,

554
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if you invested twenty million dollars in one player, that

555
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:12.280
<v Speaker 1>puts you at thirty six million, and that would put

556
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you smack dab one b. It would put you at

557
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:20.159
<v Speaker 1>number two, four million dollars ahead of Toronto FC. So

558
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.719
<v Speaker 1>that's what Seattle would be looking at cap wise if

559
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:29.679
<v Speaker 1>the idea of a Club World Cup financial windfall was

560
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to basically be flipped into bringing in Amarcus Rastion. So,

561
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.880
<v Speaker 1>like I said, Jeremiah O'shan's article at Sounder at Heart

562
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and by the way, subscribe if you don't, if you

563
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:46.719
<v Speaker 1>have not yet, But the notion is there and being

564
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 1>put out by Jeremiah that yes, it's financially out there,

565
00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's also financially out there. So someone told Ben

566
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Seattle don't know who that somebody is, but Seattle

567
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:09.519
<v Speaker 1>talk to Jeremiah o'shan and they're like, no, we ain't

568
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>getting that much money. So for us to be able

569
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to turn that and flip it and bring in a

570
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Rashford, it'd be kind of a stretch. So that's

571
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:24.360
<v Speaker 1>where the whole Marcus Rashford thing is. Jeremiah Shannon sounder

572
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:28.880
<v Speaker 1>at heart, then getting into the discussion about me and

573
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.440
<v Speaker 1>my frustrations when it comes to being shorted about things

574
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you shop, Thank you, David. David takes a multi vitamin morning.

575
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Tom Michael takes some supplements, but who knows if they

576
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 1>actually work. I know, well, and Alex let me frae.

577
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Alex asks me this, he says, and you're washing him

578
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>down with mountain dew. I could admit to something, but

579
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I could also then sit there and just say, well, yeah, sure,

580
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm washing it down with mountain dew. So I'm just

581
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna do that. Yes, I'm washing them down with mountain dew.

582
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Alex wink, wink, nudge, nudge. How'd you do? How'd you do?

583
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Tom right there with me, takes a multi turmeric. I

584
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 1>take turmeric as well, glucosamine androit and magnesium and an aspirin.

585
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, so I take aspirin, turmeric, multi vitamin fiber,

586
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:31.039
<v Speaker 1>cranberry occupante for eyes since I'm north of thirty nine,

587
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and fish oil and because I end up by the time.

588
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:41.480
<v Speaker 1>By the time I'm done, it's like twelve or thirteen

589
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 1>different things. But once again it goes to the bulk

590
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.880
<v Speaker 1>by and it goes to the Okay, then you're supposed

591
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to have pears and supposed to have enough for the

592
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:53.280
<v Speaker 1>pears that you take in the morning, but then I

593
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 1>don't when I get to the bottom of the box.

594
00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:59.079
<v Speaker 1>That was what started this whole thing. So I was

595
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:03.679
<v Speaker 1>wondering if I was by myself. David's like, the boss

596
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:07.199
<v Speaker 1>is playing that my husband is crazy. Long game. There's

597
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 1>no long game involved, David, no long game at all, none,

598
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>zero buppkus. Uh huh. I'm already crazy. So I don't

599
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.480
<v Speaker 1>know why you thought that was a long game. Wiley,

600
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.559
<v Speaker 1>of course, being the optimist, is saying, maybe they gave

601
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:26.559
<v Speaker 1>you a bonus one. I'm yeah, see, Wiley, I will

602
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:30.840
<v Speaker 1>let you be the optimist of the group. I will

603
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:37.480
<v Speaker 1>let you be the optimist. Not happening. I don't now,

604
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't yeah, not there. Yeah, Wiley's correct, maybe they

605
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.679
<v Speaker 1>gave you a bonus one. Yeah, my goals like, yeah,

606
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:49.519
<v Speaker 1>they gave you the one extra. Tom's want you sure

607
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the day count multi vitamins? Do that too? Will's like gummies.

608
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:58.880
<v Speaker 1>H Tom's like, I never get to the bottom of

609
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the container. You buy the reply container long before you

610
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:02.599
<v Speaker 1>get there, and when there's a few left in the

611
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 1>old one, just added to the new one. So yeah,

612
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you're like that too. So you get the new one,

613
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.199
<v Speaker 1>then you take the old one, and then you dump

614
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.000
<v Speaker 1>what's left in the old one into the new one.

615
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:12.639
<v Speaker 1>So he said there, oh, look, I got more than

616
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I bargained for. I'm right there with you. No, I

617
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:18.920
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing, but there are times when I

618
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 1>don't do the transfer. I don't do the pre emptying transfer,

619
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'll have the the one that I haven't opened

620
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and the one that's almost empty. And then that's why

621
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I got it. This is where I got into the situation,

622
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:35.519
<v Speaker 1>is that I had not emptied the old one into

623
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the new one. So that's why I had one at

624
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the old one and it was not

625
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a part of the new one. So that's where we were.

626
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:50.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what started the whole thing. David's like, yeah, maybe

627
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Speaker 1>you're getting fifty one extra half serving because the wife

628
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>will sometimes take his and the women's maulting never be

629
00:40:55.079 --> 00:41:00.320
<v Speaker 1>able to track it. Absolutely true, morning, Abby, Uh ask

630
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:06.360
<v Speaker 1>for weather supplements work or not. All the Tom knows

631
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is that adding the horrible joint pain in his knees

632
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and shoulders much less since he started taking glucosamina controit

633
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:14.320
<v Speaker 1>and absolutely true. Ask the Orthrow about it helps for

634
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>about ten percent of the patients, and maybe Tom is

635
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:19.440
<v Speaker 1>in the ten percent. Abby says it takes like seven

636
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:23.679
<v Speaker 1>years post surgery to stop feeling the weather changes, especially

637
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:27.719
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to arthritis. Yeah, snow's expected later this week. Yeah,

638
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and that's like I said, we're trying to

639
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:36.639
<v Speaker 1>get out of town because the boss's mom is she

640
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.920
<v Speaker 1>has some surgery on her eyes later this week, and

641
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:41.960
<v Speaker 1>so we might be leaving after the show Friday to

642
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.400
<v Speaker 1>head south for the beach a day early, just so

643
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.079
<v Speaker 1>we can be there to help take care of her mom.

644
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:50.840
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see what's going on with that exactly. Will

645
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:56.239
<v Speaker 1>what is Russia? And judge then you need absolutely true? Yeah,

646
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:58.239
<v Speaker 1>And I washed it on delegate, and I did not

647
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:03.199
<v Speaker 1>put the I did not put the jerseys in the dryer.

648
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:06.440
<v Speaker 1>They've been hanging ever since trying to dry out themselves.

649
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:10.559
<v Speaker 1>And yes, Michael falconing since nineteen sixty six. The straight

650
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.679
<v Speaker 1>for the Falcons is now at seven. Tom, wouldn't he

651
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:17.119
<v Speaker 1>also have to have a heart to heart but with

652
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Tukel meaning Marcus Rashford, Yeah, I think you would. Wouldn't

653
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 1>you have to have a heart to heart with Thomas

654
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Tukele about whether or not doing this, meaning going to Seattle,

655
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:31.039
<v Speaker 1>would affect prospects for his time with the Three Lions.

656
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking that that would have to be a conversation

657
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Abbey with the public service. If you have a chance

658
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.159
<v Speaker 1>to go pay respects to President Carter recommend it went

659
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:41.800
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the night Saturday, and the Sunday

660
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:44.760
<v Speaker 1>had been a while very educational additional to being able

661
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to pay respects. And we have until Tuesday morning at

662
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.360
<v Speaker 1>six am, I believe, I think. So it's all day

663
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:56.039
<v Speaker 1>today and overnight. I think you have until six o'clock

664
00:42:56.079 --> 00:43:03.360
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow morning, and then the President is is brought on

665
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:08.840
<v Speaker 1>motorcade up to Washington, d C. So morning, Rich, morning

666
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:16.119
<v Speaker 1>to the OG, and so yes, good morning to the

667
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:23.000
<v Speaker 1>OG as well. And so Tom doing the Lord's work

668
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:26.280
<v Speaker 1>with a public Service, says that ac Milan are discussing

669
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:28.679
<v Speaker 1>internally whether to make a loan move from Arcus. Rashford

670
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and ac Milan could basically sit there and say, yeah,

671
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll just set money on fire. We'll talk about setting

672
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.880
<v Speaker 1>money on fire coming up in just a little bit morning, Harry, Yeah,

673
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 1>and Michael. Absolutely true, as everyone knows whether forecasts four

674
00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:45.639
<v Speaker 1>days out of conjecture. Absolutely true. All right, so setting

675
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:48.679
<v Speaker 1>money on fire. That was one of the other teams

676
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that we wanted to get into this morning. And once

677
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.159
<v Speaker 1>again Bart Keeler joining us in about ten minutes to

678
00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:01.239
<v Speaker 1>discuss roughing down here and M and T stuff and

679
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:06.199
<v Speaker 1>anything else on his mind before we go. All right,

680
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So setting money on fire. There was a lot of

681
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 1>talk last week about a particular player leaving Lega MX

682
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and coming back to Major League Soccer. Tommy scoops late yesterday,

683
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:32.320
<v Speaker 1>well lunchtime yesterday, Austin finalizing a deal to sign Brandon

684
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Vasquez from Monterrey Monterey. The fee is north of six

685
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:39.840
<v Speaker 1>million plus add ons. He is told Vasquez is going

686
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to travel to complete the transfer. Fall goes smooth, Brandon

687
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Vasquez will be Austin FC's new DP number nine. So

688
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and then Tom updated it three hours later, saying that

689
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Austin was going to pay a club record fee of

690
00:44:56.639 --> 00:45:03.000
<v Speaker 1>around ten million Reusee's nearing a departure for river Plate

691
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:09.760
<v Speaker 1>according to sources, but that's not done. So if Dreusi leaves,

692
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Austin intends to add yet another DP. So here's the

693
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:20.199
<v Speaker 1>lay of the land with that once again Dreusi, if

694
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:24.280
<v Speaker 1>he goes, that opens up. Basically it ends up being

695
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.519
<v Speaker 1>a wash second time in a matter of months that

696
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the club will set a new club record. They set

697
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a new club record to sign Osman Bukari from Red

698
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Star Belgrade for seven million this summer, and so now

699
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the attack. Once Brandon Vasquez is in theory, signed, seal,

700
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:51.000
<v Speaker 1>delivered and brought into uh you know, brought into the

701
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>land of the ver day, then it would be Vasquez

702
00:45:56.039 --> 00:46:02.199
<v Speaker 1>and Bukari with river Plate chasing after dream. Pablo Noya

703
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:05.360
<v Speaker 1>first reported that the deal was close, nothing totally done

704
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:09.599
<v Speaker 1>yet they won't be done, meaning Austin. So then that

705
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:14.000
<v Speaker 1>means that a Driusi leaves, you've got Bukari, you've got Vasquez,

706
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and you'd have that third d P slot available again.

707
00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Transfer window in Major League Soccer officially opens January thirty first,

708
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So we have twenty five days of these kinds of

709
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.599
<v Speaker 1>discussions ahead of us here at SDH in the morning show.

710
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:34.760
<v Speaker 1>First competitive games of the year in February, so there's

711
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.639
<v Speaker 1>plenty of time to add to what's going on. So remember,

712
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:44.000
<v Speaker 1>here's what Austin has done in the offseason. Rodolfo Borel

713
00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:46.599
<v Speaker 1>took over in the summer of twenty three as sporting director.

714
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Now once again they let Joshualf go, and I would

715
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:56.559
<v Speaker 1>still I'm still I still have the thought bubble over

716
00:46:56.639 --> 00:47:01.280
<v Speaker 1>my head as to why, if this was going to

717
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:08.519
<v Speaker 1>be the overall plan, why in the wide world of

718
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:13.440
<v Speaker 1>sports did you let him go, meaning Josh Wolf with

719
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.719
<v Speaker 1>a couple of matches to go in the season. If

720
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you knew your future, if you knew that your future

721
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:23.440
<v Speaker 1>was set, you weren't making the postseason. Why do you

722
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:26.079
<v Speaker 1>not give Josh Wolf the proper send off for all

723
00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the time that he has given to the franchise and

724
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you cut him loose with a couple of matches to go.

725
00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:38.599
<v Speaker 1>That was something that kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

726
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:43.920
<v Speaker 1>So then you get Josh Wolf, you let Joshuolf go,

727
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:55.639
<v Speaker 1>You're bring in Nico Estevez. You signed Osaman Bucari, Alexander's

728
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>fatalk for center back and right back Michael Desler, three

729
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:04.320
<v Speaker 1>new starters. Vasquez becomes your star number nine. Seven players

730
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:09.519
<v Speaker 1>are already gone. Dreusi is likely to be the eighth.

731
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Fourteen players departed the club last year, including Ragoni, and

732
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:17.519
<v Speaker 1>I think Ragoni was headed to Leone if I have

733
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.239
<v Speaker 1>memory serves, and they used the once a season contract

734
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:26.440
<v Speaker 1>buy out on Ragoni. Josse Zartis was then bought out.

735
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:34.119
<v Speaker 1>This winner illyer In in the midfield. Now there's also,

736
00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:40.320
<v Speaker 1>according to Bogert, there's another rumor out there suggesting that

737
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:43.679
<v Speaker 1>the club are in talks to signed jar Amendi, but

738
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:47.079
<v Speaker 1>those aren't true. According to Bogert, though the club will

739
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:51.960
<v Speaker 1>still add more. So that's the ins and outs right

740
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:57.280
<v Speaker 1>now of Austin. Austin last season ninth when it came

741
00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:02.239
<v Speaker 1>to salary cap, they devoted just over just under twenty million,

742
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:07.400
<v Speaker 1>three hundred thousand to players on board. So the roster

743
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:16.599
<v Speaker 1>for Austin the Rostin perhaps team rankings, let's get into

744
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:19.639
<v Speaker 1>teams Western Conference. So here's your rundown of Austin FC,

745
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:23.519
<v Speaker 1>by the way, under Rodolpho Borel the new sporting director.

746
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:27.119
<v Speaker 1>And you knew that. The way that it traditionally works

747
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>is that if there is a if there is a

748
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:31.480
<v Speaker 1>new sporting director, he's gonna want to bring in his

749
00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:35.400
<v Speaker 1>own guy. That's no real that's no shock that Breill

750
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.840
<v Speaker 1>decided that he wanted to bring in his own guy

751
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:42.519
<v Speaker 1>and not keep Josh Wolf around as head coach. That

752
00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that that makes perfect sense. And that's not the first

753
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:49.039
<v Speaker 1>time it's something like that's going to go down. So

754
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.360
<v Speaker 1>our friends at spot Track have decided that they wanted

755
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:59.239
<v Speaker 1>to kind of just be slow about their Monday. So, uh,

756
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Major League Soccer Western Conference, Austin, come on, it's deciding.

757
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:08.440
<v Speaker 1>It just kind of wants to take its own little

758
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 1>sweet time when it comes to uh transactions this morning.

759
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:16.079
<v Speaker 1>So uh, when it loads, it loads, So we'll see

760
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:19.800
<v Speaker 1>what we'll see what We'll see what it looks like.

761
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:28.320
<v Speaker 1>So Tom morning four card, Tom once again mentioning uh

762
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:30.840
<v Speaker 1>hamas Rodrigg is now a free agent after terminating his

763
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:34.360
<v Speaker 1>contract with Ryovacano. Yeah, that that happened. That was mentioned

764
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of different things yesterday. Michael wants to know

765
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:48.000
<v Speaker 1>if Atlanta would use their one time buy out on

766
00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:55.320
<v Speaker 1>any players this year, don't know, Uh, totally, Yeah, you're

767
00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:02.559
<v Speaker 1>totally free from Derrek Etchien Jr. And uh and possibly

768
00:51:02.639 --> 00:51:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Louisa Brom. But the the there, the there that is

769
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:13.320
<v Speaker 1>there with Louisa Brom Luis right now is in the process.

770
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean Luis makes I think he's under contract at

771
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just over eight hundred thousand. And what I always maintain

772
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:28.400
<v Speaker 1>in situations with any player and any interest whatsoever, you

773
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:36.400
<v Speaker 1>don't want to use the one time only buyout on

774
00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:45.440
<v Speaker 1>any individual unless you absolutely have to, meaning if there

775
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.519
<v Speaker 1>is no interest, if no one wants any player under

776
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.920
<v Speaker 1>any circumstances like nah, you know literally you have signed

777
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:04.880
<v Speaker 1>someone that is such a an untenable salary figure and

778
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:10.639
<v Speaker 1>you've reached the end of your rope internationally that you're

779
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:13.280
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like, yeah, we'll go ahead and do that.

780
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think well, first and foremost, I know that

781
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:23.079
<v Speaker 1>I know that a lot of you were looking at

782
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:28.159
<v Speaker 1>the back line when it came to players that would

783
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:35.440
<v Speaker 1>be in this particular spotlight. But if a and I mean, look,

784
00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:41.119
<v Speaker 1>you saw this with Bara, you saw this with Santi Sosa. Recently,

785
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:45.039
<v Speaker 1>when there's news about Rossing or reports about Rossing, that

786
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.199
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about later on, but you end up with

787
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:54.639
<v Speaker 1>you end up with an asset. And I mean, and

788
00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:56.639
<v Speaker 1>this sounds cold, but this is how you have to

789
00:52:56.639 --> 00:53:00.199
<v Speaker 1>look at this. This. Sometimes you have an asset in

790
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a player who is under contract for X number of

791
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:10.880
<v Speaker 1>times at a particular salary figure. If worldwide there is

792
00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:14.280
<v Speaker 1>no one that will take that individual off your hands,

793
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:17.800
<v Speaker 1>then and only then would you then I would think

794
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that you use that buyout and just set the individual free. Personally,

795
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I think that Luisa bram is one of those individuals

796
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:39.880
<v Speaker 1>that does and like I said, and I know that

797
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:43.719
<v Speaker 1>we disagree, that does well for you at the back

798
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:49.440
<v Speaker 1>when asked. At the same time, I know that a

799
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:51.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of you might look at his salary figure and

800
00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:54.000
<v Speaker 1>sit there and go okay, that might be the guy

801
00:53:57.000 --> 00:53:59.039
<v Speaker 1>that you would sit there, you know, because if you

802
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:01.320
<v Speaker 1>want to bring in and they know a cob full time,

803
00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to bring in an Ephran Morales to be

804
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:04.519
<v Speaker 1>a part of things, You want to bring in a

805
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Edwards to be a part of things. Then you

806
00:54:08.519 --> 00:54:11.360
<v Speaker 1>look at the salary number that is attached to Luisa

807
00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Brom and that might be the guy that you put

808
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:17.599
<v Speaker 1>in your spots shadow. If there is no one on

809
00:54:17.639 --> 00:54:21.559
<v Speaker 1>a worldwide basis that would be interested in Louisa Brom

810
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:29.159
<v Speaker 1>then and only then, or any individual period, any individual.

811
00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:35.960
<v Speaker 1>If there's zero interest in player X across the board,

812
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.840
<v Speaker 1>then and only then would you use the bio because

813
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the salary figure is such an untenable number that you

814
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:51.000
<v Speaker 1>would sit there and go yes, well, but I mean,

815
00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:53.320
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, Michael, like I said, I'm talking about

816
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:55.440
<v Speaker 1>this on a worldwide scale. Michael's like, I don't see

817
00:54:55.440 --> 00:55:01.000
<v Speaker 1>any club taking a Brahms contract. It's husually inflated. But

818
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:03.960
<v Speaker 1>once again, until you kick the tires on the worldwide market,

819
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:08.599
<v Speaker 1>you don't know. And like I said, I know that

820
00:55:08.599 --> 00:55:12.400
<v Speaker 1>we will disagree with the effectiveness of Luisa Brom. I

821
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:14.719
<v Speaker 1>know that we will. I know that we disagree on

822
00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the effectiveness of Ronald Hernandez. Ronald Hernandez his salary numbers

823
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:24.800
<v Speaker 1>at four hundred thousand and Ronnie and I would go

824
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:29.599
<v Speaker 1>back and I would ask going into this season that

825
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:34.360
<v Speaker 1>you go to soccer down here dot Net, then that

826
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you go on our YouTube channel and you go back

827
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and listen to all of our content and all the

828
00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:50.119
<v Speaker 1>interviews with Ronald Hernandez, just so you know what kind

829
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:56.039
<v Speaker 1>of individual that you have on your roster. In Ronnie,

830
00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean the guy is willing to die for the shirt.

831
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:02.239
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I know that we will disagree on

832
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:06.320
<v Speaker 1>both of those individuals. But once again, you had the

833
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:11.840
<v Speaker 1>same situation with Santi Sosa, and what you did is

834
00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:15.719
<v Speaker 1>you knew that there was interest in Santiago Sosa, so

835
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you signed him and you kept him under contract, and

836
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:25.280
<v Speaker 1>sure enough Rossing was interested, and Rossing was like ooh,

837
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:28.519
<v Speaker 1>and so sure enough Rossing picks up Santi Sosa and

838
00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:30.880
<v Speaker 1>then you don't have to worry about that salary figure anymore.

839
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:33.719
<v Speaker 1>So just keep an eye on the worldwide stage. It's

840
00:56:33.719 --> 00:56:35.920
<v Speaker 1>not just something that is an internal to Major League

841
00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:41.840
<v Speaker 1>soccer when it comes to players and availability and desire

842
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.039
<v Speaker 1>and because you never know who's interested. But as a

843
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.920
<v Speaker 1>last option, and I mean last, last, last, last, last,

844
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:55.719
<v Speaker 1>last option, I mean Josse's artist was making seven figures

845
00:56:55.800 --> 00:57:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and Austin was like, yep, ain't nobody interested? Then that

846
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:04.400
<v Speaker 1>was why they used the buyout. So all right, so

847
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.639
<v Speaker 1>it is after ten o'clock and I've rambled on the

848
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:10.559
<v Speaker 1>subject a little further than normal, So it is that

849
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:14.079
<v Speaker 1>time where since we are now after ten o'clock, it's

850
00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:16.880
<v Speaker 1>time to bring in Bart Keeler from the Soccer for

851
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:21.559
<v Speaker 1>USPOD to discuss things M and T, WNT and reffing

852
00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:23.920
<v Speaker 1>down here. So good morning.

853
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Bart, Morning John.

854
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:28.000
<v Speaker 1>What's the mug, sir, Hair spray?

855
00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Good morning Baltimore.

856
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Baltimore. And for those of you that got

857
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:35.559
<v Speaker 1>to watch the Ravens do their thing with a quarterback

858
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:37.159
<v Speaker 1>and a running back, so it was a bit of

859
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a it was a bit of a bit of a slog,

860
00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:40.920
<v Speaker 1>but they got it done. So good morning Baltimore and

861
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:44.000
<v Speaker 1>all points in between. A couple of things that I

862
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:46.239
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get into before we get into reffing down here.

863
00:57:46.559 --> 00:57:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And it was interesting that as I was looking for

864
00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:52.480
<v Speaker 1>reffing down here in moments, there was apparently one moment

865
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:54.800
<v Speaker 1>from the brim that has stood out to all the others.

866
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, yeah, I know. So we'll get into that.

867
00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:01.960
<v Speaker 1>The athlete of the Year was named when it came

868
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to the the the men's national team, and it was

869
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a Jedi Robinson that was named as the Grand Exalted

870
00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Puba Athlete of the Year. What say you about this nomination, sir?

871
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:21.519
<v Speaker 1>And was it worthy of the the nominee to get

872
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:22.079
<v Speaker 1>set award.

873
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Well congrants to Jedi. First off, this is the first

874
00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:30.519
<v Speaker 2>defender to win it since Skucianyewu, like almost two decades ago.

875
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:36.440
<v Speaker 2>This is who I've voted for. Okay, he I think

876
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:39.119
<v Speaker 2>had the most consistent year for the US men's national

877
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:45.239
<v Speaker 2>team and was a very reliable performer. I think you

878
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:49.480
<v Speaker 2>could give accolades to guys like Christian Polistic, You could

879
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:55.840
<v Speaker 2>give accolade to maybe a Weston McKenney, Felaren Ballagan, you

880
00:58:55.880 --> 00:59:01.119
<v Speaker 2>could give attackers their flowers. But you know, I think

881
00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:09.039
<v Speaker 2>giving a defender this award kind of signifies that he

882
00:59:09.199 --> 00:59:12.519
<v Speaker 2>is also very important to this team. He had several assists,

883
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:16.079
<v Speaker 2>he assists throughout the year and continues to be not

884
00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:19.519
<v Speaker 2>just a good defender but a good leader on this team.

885
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:21.599
<v Speaker 2>You see what he's done with Fulham now taking over

886
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:26.039
<v Speaker 2>leadership duties at the club. He's been in great form

887
00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:29.000
<v Speaker 2>for them, not just to start the Premier League season,

888
00:59:29.079 --> 00:59:33.440
<v Speaker 2>but also throughout twenty twenty four. You know, I think

889
00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:36.159
<v Speaker 2>it gets lost on people that you have a guy

890
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:42.000
<v Speaker 2>performing so well and so dutifully well in the Premier League.

891
00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:44.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, when yes, we have some guys who squared

892
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:47.199
<v Speaker 2>off in a Cuppa Italia Final this weekend, and you

893
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:52.039
<v Speaker 2>have guys scoring goals in France and other places. But

894
00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:56.960
<v Speaker 2>he's been a very reliable defender. He's been a very

895
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:00.360
<v Speaker 2>reliable teammate. And I think I think.

896
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:00.760
<v Speaker 1>He deserved it.

897
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:02.840
<v Speaker 2>He had a really good season for both club and country.

898
01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:05.719
<v Speaker 2>And and it's hard because defenders don't often get because

899
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:08.159
<v Speaker 2>they don't score goals, you know, they don't have the assist.

900
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>But Jedi has been providing some assists and he's been

901
01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:14.039
<v Speaker 2>really influential in the team on and off.

902
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:18.639
<v Speaker 1>The field because I know that, uh, it's it's odd.

903
01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like giving a it's almost like giving a

904
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>an offensive or defensive lineman kind of an award. When

905
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>it comes to football, it's not necessarily a pieces that

906
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>we gravitate toward immediately to sit there and go, well, yeah, okay.

907
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:34.079
<v Speaker 1>But and then when the award gets handed out and

908
01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:37.679
<v Speaker 1>you said to go, well, yeah, yeah, there's a point there, right,

909
01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:41.119
<v Speaker 1>It's it was a typical direction to go. And that

910
01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>was the reason that I wanted to bring it up

911
01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the flock.

912
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's who I voted for both when

913
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I got the you know, you can vote it's online,

914
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:51.599
<v Speaker 2>it's a fan vote. But also who I kind of

915
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>suggested in our last episode of Soccer for US is saying, hey,

916
01:00:56.039 --> 01:01:00.079
<v Speaker 2>you didn't win it, good for him and congress to

917
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:03.679
<v Speaker 2>him on his family's growing and you know, putting down

918
01:01:03.760 --> 01:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>roots in London and love to see it.

919
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Did we talk about the Becky Ceborne retirement.

920
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we had to have. I mean, this

921
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>is not news, John, I don't know, or yeah, this

922
01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>is not news, but Becky is retiring.

923
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>She's done. So yeah, I was just like, you know,

924
01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:31.159
<v Speaker 1>and when it comes to her place in the discussion

925
01:01:31.519 --> 01:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>for the US women's national team, I mean, it's ninety

926
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>eight times over that it cannot be you know, over

927
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>emphasized just what she has meant to this program in

928
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the time that she's been there.

929
01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, we talked about it a little bit with the listenair.

930
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Just a quietly confident and quietly proficient player.

931
01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>You know.

932
01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:58.519
<v Speaker 2>The writing joke is she's never a scored for the

933
01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>US women's national team, and by ally they tried to

934
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:03.239
<v Speaker 2>get her those goals. You know, it's unfortunate she was

935
01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>not able to go to twenty twenty three World Cup

936
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>due to that ankle foot injury. I think I don't

937
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>know if she meant. I don't think she makes us

938
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:15.480
<v Speaker 2>better necessarily because I think Germa and Arts were pretty

939
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>darn good. But I think having Becky there does allow

940
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Vlatko a little bit of versatility by maybe pushing Julie

941
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Ertz into a defensive midfield role as opposed to just

942
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>being a center back. But Becky has been the consummate

943
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>leader of this program and is revered by all. But

944
01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>like two people who have played for this program as

945
01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>an entirety, and those two people's opinions are the outlier,

946
01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and unfortunately one of them has a really big platform

947
01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>on a network that doesn't need to cover soccer ever. Again.

948
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>But Becky as a player was one of the most

949
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>just technically sound center backs I think we've ever seen.

950
01:02:58.599 --> 01:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>That was the biggest thing that she brought. You know,

951
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>she was not a big, strong, powerful, towering, fast center back.

952
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:12.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, she's tall, but she's not a She's not

953
01:03:12.360 --> 01:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>one of those types of you know.

954
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's just put it away.

955
01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:19.679
<v Speaker 2>An English coach wouldn't like her, John because she has

956
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>this thing called class on the ball, and she has

957
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>smart in her head, and that's just inconsistent with the

958
01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:28.559
<v Speaker 2>way the English played this game. But she she really

959
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:33.559
<v Speaker 2>did kind of, I think, revolutionize that position for women soccer.

960
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Her and Wendy Renard kind of changed the idea of

961
01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>what center back should be in the game. You know.

962
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>She she was really an influential player. Looking at how

963
01:03:48.199 --> 01:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>she played the game and how I think you're seeing

964
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot more of that type of style of center

965
01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>back now in the women's game.

966
01:03:57.239 --> 01:04:00.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, so it's time for reffing down here, like

967
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we need like game show music or something.

968
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, boy, when are we talking first?

969
01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:06.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, obviously, I think we got to talk about the

970
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>one that's traditionally attached to your household, don't we We

971
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>have to talk about Brighton Arsenal with the foul by

972
01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Saliba on Pedro, I believe, yeah, And you're already you're

973
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:17.679
<v Speaker 1>already getting a migrate on this one.

974
01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

975
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, basically the rundown is Joel Pedro gets a

976
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>loose ball inside the penalty area thirty minutes to go.

977
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:29.519
<v Speaker 1>First touch, lifted the ball, which goes up his chest,

978
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:36.199
<v Speaker 1>nods it forward. Then Saliba accidentally heads is j'el Pedro

979
01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in trying to make a challenge Anthony Taylor points for

980
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.199
<v Speaker 1>a penalty checked by var penalty stands, and it eventually

981
01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:49.039
<v Speaker 1>ends up being an equalizer. So when it comes to

982
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>this particular act, is this along the same lines of

983
01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:01.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, it doesn't matter if it's It's like, it

984
01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter if you take a swing and a miss

985
01:05:04.519 --> 01:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>at somebody, you still took a swing at somebody. And

986
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:11.039
<v Speaker 1>even if you missed the ball and head butt somebody,

987
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>you still head butt somebody. Is that the same rationale here?

988
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's something that can be applied. Okay,

989
01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I had a really I had a problem with this, John,

990
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:25.679
<v Speaker 2>and I think the problem is that I understand why

991
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>it's given a penalty. There's contact, you know, mm.

992
01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, you're thinking he's thinking a way too hard on it.

993
01:05:38.039 --> 01:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I think my problem is that, in the context of

994
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:44.639
<v Speaker 2>this game, Anthony Taylor calling this a foul when there

995
01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:47.480
<v Speaker 2>were multiple times where Brighton players just decided to, I

996
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:50.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know, bulldoze an Arsenal player and get little to

997
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>no consequences for it. Yes, that contact is what's a

998
01:05:54.679 --> 01:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>penalty and decides the result of a game is a

999
01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>little bit out of sort with the rest of the game.

1000
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:05.079
<v Speaker 2>We watched and and that I'll take this to a

1001
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>training session I had, oh gosh, I don't even know

1002
01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:11.039
<v Speaker 2>how long ago, but the referee instructor at the time

1003
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:12.559
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know, sometimes we need to make sure

1004
01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>we're all watching the same movie, and as a referee,

1005
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:20.719
<v Speaker 2>you have to you have to understand that you need

1006
01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:23.239
<v Speaker 2>to be watching the same movie as everyone else, if

1007
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:25.159
<v Speaker 2>that makes any sense, Johnny, and I think this is

1008
01:06:25.199 --> 01:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>one of those examples of like, well, that didn't really

1009
01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>fit the script. It's like calling the Bear comedy. Yeah,

1010
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:38.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not a comedy. The Bear is not

1011
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:39.840
<v Speaker 2>a comedy. I watched that show and it is not

1012
01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>a comedy. It's comedic parts.

1013
01:06:42.760 --> 01:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you know, you hear you see.

1014
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>The comedic part and you go, oh, okay, back to

1015
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the you know, drama and the brooding drama and a

1016
01:06:54.039 --> 01:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>of a and we need Nikolafy to come on here

1017
01:06:56.440 --> 01:07:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and talk cinematography with that. I think think that's my

1018
01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>issue with it, Johns. It just seemed out of place

1019
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:05.440
<v Speaker 2>given the context of everything else. And then when you

1020
01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:09.920
<v Speaker 2>compare that to not giving a penalty to Arsenal for

1021
01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>the Brighton defender slide tackling Gabrielle on a corner kick

1022
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>when the ball wasn't even I mean, had barely been kicked,

1023
01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:24.039
<v Speaker 2>but he's taken him out by the legs and not

1024
01:07:24.199 --> 01:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>giving that a penalty, it just it felt inconsistent with

1025
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:31.320
<v Speaker 2>the way the rest of the game had been played.

1026
01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Is it a penalty? Is it a foul inside the

1027
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:41.840
<v Speaker 2>penalty area? Sure, sure, john we'll call it that. It

1028
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:44.679
<v Speaker 2>just was very inconsistent with the way the rest of

1029
01:07:44.679 --> 01:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the game played out.

1030
01:07:47.840 --> 01:07:53.719
<v Speaker 1>So to your point, twenty minutes earlier, Arsenal had won

1031
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:58.519
<v Speaker 1>the corner and then O'Reilly and gabrielle magleish, which is

1032
01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>what you were getting into. Now, I go to ground

1033
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Gabriel jay Zeus heads over from the corner, but then

1034
01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:06.119
<v Speaker 1>once again the case for a penalty, and no penalty

1035
01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was called.

1036
01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>So so that one was more way, more contact and interference,

1037
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and I had missed header that did not interfere with

1038
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the attacker's ability to continue.

1039
01:08:18.359 --> 01:08:21.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So then so then here's the rationale by Dale Johnson.

1040
01:08:21.479 --> 01:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>In this case, the ball wasn't in play when the

1041
01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:29.479
<v Speaker 1>foul on Gabriel took place. Therefore a penalty isn't possible,

1042
01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and that I mean, he's.

1043
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Gonna explain that because Dale likes to not give Arsenal credit.

1044
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:40.800
<v Speaker 2>But I think that is not also how it happened.

1045
01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:44.159
<v Speaker 2>But that's just my opinion. I don't. I also understand,

1046
01:08:44.199 --> 01:08:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'll say this about the Gabrielle thing, is he

1047
01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:52.239
<v Speaker 2>initiates contact by pushing the defender. Yes, fore card I know,

1048
01:08:52.319 --> 01:08:55.119
<v Speaker 2>And I said that, Okay, I said that.

1049
01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't.

1050
01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I said I didn't like it because fit the context

1051
01:08:58.039 --> 01:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>of the game. I didn't say it wasn't a falancide.

1052
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:03.600
<v Speaker 2>But if you're gonna say contact is contact, then what

1053
01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:06.479
<v Speaker 2>the hell was going on twenty minutes prior on the

1054
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:09.520
<v Speaker 2>corner kick? What I'm saying, that's what I'm saying, and

1055
01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>that's the consistency that we want. Okay, are we watching

1056
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the same movie? Oh? Because I'm watching this game going.

1057
01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:23.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, you've got guys throwing elbows. It seems like

1058
01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>thrusting through Arsenal players, just running them over with no

1059
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:31.239
<v Speaker 2>regard to health, life or reason, and they're just getting

1060
01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:34.680
<v Speaker 2>a foul call. There's no yellow card show. But a

1061
01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:37.800
<v Speaker 2>header that is slightly missed is now a penalty kick.

1062
01:09:37.880 --> 01:09:39.119
<v Speaker 2>But you're not giving it.

1063
01:09:39.199 --> 01:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And I don't.

1064
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:42.359
<v Speaker 2>I disagree with Dale. I think that when the foul occurred,

1065
01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:45.119
<v Speaker 2>it very clearly the ball had been put into play,

1066
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:47.359
<v Speaker 2>So I disagree with him on that, but you know

1067
01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Dale's rights for ESPN and I don't so.

1068
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Ah well, but that's why that's why we have you

1069
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:55.079
<v Speaker 1>and the four less.

1070
01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll admit it's hard for me to talk

1071
01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:01.199
<v Speaker 2>about this because as an Arsenal fan, right, the penalty

1072
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:03.560
<v Speaker 2>kick has called for that, but not for this, and

1073
01:10:04.039 --> 01:10:10.119
<v Speaker 2>one of those things was a much more influential action

1074
01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:16.079
<v Speaker 2>on the game. Yes, and again it just did not

1075
01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>fit the way that Anthony Taylor called the game the

1076
01:10:18.840 --> 01:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way. But hey, good for him. His

1077
01:10:21.079 --> 01:10:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Manchester team got a result. Good from Anthony Taylor.

1078
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, let me get into dog Sew. Here full

1079
01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of and ipswich. Harry Wilson looks to be through in

1080
01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>the twenty seventh brought down by Leaf Davis. Darren Bond

1081
01:10:38.439 --> 01:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>produces a yellow. But was there a case for a

1082
01:10:42.039 --> 01:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>red for dog Sew And the decision by var was

1083
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that there was no red for dog Sew and I

1084
01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:57.119
<v Speaker 1>would I would pause it that because there was a defender,

1085
01:10:57.399 --> 01:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>say seven to ten yards to the play's right that

1086
01:11:04.119 --> 01:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>you have to assume in that regard that the player

1087
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>can shift his angle and be there to help defend.

1088
01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Am I wrong?

1089
01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think this was giving a lot of giving

1090
01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of credit to the defender. But I also

1091
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>think again, when you look at dog so distance to goal,

1092
01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>distance to the ball, direction of play, and defenders present,

1093
01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:35.359
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's a little bit fair to say

1094
01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>that it all of those weren't fully met, If that

1095
01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>makes sense, Yeah, defenders being one of those. But I

1096
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>don't think that it's I don't think it meant any

1097
01:11:56.399 --> 01:11:58.079
<v Speaker 2>of the like. I don't really think this was a

1098
01:11:58.119 --> 01:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>true dog Soo type thing, especially when you look at

1099
01:12:03.720 --> 01:12:06.560
<v Speaker 2>how many defense were close by, and then his ability

1100
01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:10.279
<v Speaker 2>to play the ball toward goal again with an obvious

1101
01:12:10.319 --> 01:12:11.560
<v Speaker 2>goal scoring opportunity.

1102
01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:16.199
<v Speaker 1>So okay, then once again you end up with the

1103
01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>possible penalty where you have once again, and by the way,

1104
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>very very busy Harry Wilson, very very busy.

1105
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:31.159
<v Speaker 2>He's been involved with the several var situations past month. Hey,

1106
01:12:31.279 --> 01:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, when the Premier League plays a game

1107
01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:33.800
<v Speaker 2>every day, I get it.

1108
01:12:33.840 --> 01:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So yeah. Well, and at the same time, dude, I mean,

1109
01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:40.359
<v Speaker 1>if Ipswich makes sure that Harry Wilson is going to

1110
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>be at the point of the spear. Then you need

1111
01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>all the help you can get sometimes. So in the

1112
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:48.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty five to Go goes to ground on a challenge

1113
01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:54.039
<v Speaker 1>waves the penalty away, but the referee waved away penalty

1114
01:12:54.039 --> 01:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>appeals goes to VAR and it ends up being scored

1115
01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>by Rol Jimenez. Yep. So once again this goes to

1116
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:06.479
<v Speaker 1>the idea of correcting an error, and this was viewed

1117
01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>as an on field error and oh my god, VAR

1118
01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:14.199
<v Speaker 1>does its job, question Mark.

1119
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think in the run of play, you're looking

1120
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>at like if yeah, you're looking at like three players

1121
01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:26.239
<v Speaker 2>around another player, right, and you are tempted to look

1122
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:29.319
<v Speaker 2>at the player most proximant to the defender, most proximate

1123
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:31.920
<v Speaker 2>to the attacker and the ball. And when you look

1124
01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:35.560
<v Speaker 2>at that, like, there wasn't a foul committed, Does that

1125
01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:37.800
<v Speaker 2>make sense? But when you looked at the bigger picture,

1126
01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:39.880
<v Speaker 2>you could see that the defender kind of tripped the

1127
01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:42.319
<v Speaker 2>attacker from behind, and you may not the referee may

1128
01:13:42.359 --> 01:13:44.399
<v Speaker 2>not have been honing in on that, if that makes

1129
01:13:44.439 --> 01:13:47.119
<v Speaker 2>any sense. So, yeah, this was a clear and obvious error.

1130
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:50.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, obviously, I think VAR first needed a check.

1131
01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Was this inside or outside of the penalty area. I

1132
01:13:52.680 --> 01:13:56.039
<v Speaker 2>think once you saw it from a better angle, it

1133
01:13:56.079 --> 01:13:59.079
<v Speaker 2>was very clearly inside the penultaria where the contact was made.

1134
01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:01.039
<v Speaker 2>And again we go back to what four card reminded

1135
01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:05.720
<v Speaker 2>me of Arsenal. Contact is contact and no matter where

1136
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:07.439
<v Speaker 2>it is on the field, and it happened to be

1137
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:11.439
<v Speaker 2>inside the penalty area. So therefore VR can say no,

1138
01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>this is a penalty kick. Oh boy, it's only not

1139
01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>contact is contact when Arsenal was trying to score on

1140
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:21.439
<v Speaker 2>a set piece.

1141
01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Ah yeah, I see how this.

1142
01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm salty this morning, and I won't apologize.

1143
01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Nothing wrong with nothing wrong with being salty. I mean monday,

1144
01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:30.159
<v Speaker 1>I saw.

1145
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Luisa Brahm stuff in the chat too, and I walked in,

1146
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:34.439
<v Speaker 2>so that maybe even wow.

1147
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And I know, but as as I remind folks, I said,

1148
01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:40.319
<v Speaker 1>it's about controlling an asset. It has nothing to do.

1149
01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:43.479
<v Speaker 2>It's he's not an asset, John, what's the top instead

1150
01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:46.560
<v Speaker 2>of an asset in the financial sense, he's not even that.

1151
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:47.279
<v Speaker 2>He's a burden.

1152
01:14:48.039 --> 01:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, yeah, here we go.

1153
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, that's all right. Look, if I can make almost

1154
01:14:54.199 --> 01:14:56.039
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars a year being bad at my job,

1155
01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:56.920
<v Speaker 2>sign me up.

1156
01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I would love that. Oh yeah, you and I definitely disagree.

1157
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:04.479
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Jason's on here, so yeah, we just like my shot.

1158
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:05.960
<v Speaker 2>So I.

1159
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:11.119
<v Speaker 1>So then all right, so then after not getting a

1160
01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>penalty now and this is this is crazy because the

1161
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the Ipswitch Fulham match had like seven I know, I know.

1162
01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Then you get a then you get a penalty. So

1163
01:15:25.399 --> 01:15:28.399
<v Speaker 1>basically you get a penalty awarded because Staniel on the lap.

1164
01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:32.039
<v Speaker 1>The ref immediately goes to the spell that it.

1165
01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Looked worse than it was. But again it was like,

1166
01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>well he tried to kick the ball. He didn't really

1167
01:15:39.039 --> 01:15:40.680
<v Speaker 2>kick the ball. He kicked the foot.

1168
01:15:43.119 --> 01:15:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean literally, it's like you can't turn, you

1169
01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>can't turn a direction. It's it's like the the old

1170
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>target practice thing at the the amusement park where you're

1171
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.399
<v Speaker 1>shooting the duck and the you know, you shoot the

1172
01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>duck and the duck changes direction. You shoot the duck

1173
01:15:58.960 --> 01:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>again and it changes direct. So no matter how many

1174
01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:03.439
<v Speaker 1>times you shoot and hit the duck, you're gonna end

1175
01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:07.319
<v Speaker 1>up getting the penaly out of this stuff. It's when

1176
01:16:07.359 --> 01:16:12.039
<v Speaker 1>you when you're in a situation like this, let me

1177
01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>let me, let me ask you this. When it comes

1178
01:16:14.560 --> 01:16:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to being an official, you've got a game that's heading

1179
01:16:18.159 --> 01:16:21.039
<v Speaker 1>a certain direction and I and I mean this in

1180
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the sense of uh, like in in ipswitching Fulham, it's

1181
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:29.199
<v Speaker 1>like penalty, penalty penalty. It's like bang bang bang. You

1182
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>end up with uh. With the play on the field

1183
01:16:33.319 --> 01:16:37.119
<v Speaker 1>heading in a certain direction and like it's heading downhill fast.

1184
01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:42.279
<v Speaker 1>How do you how do you keep it from spiraling

1185
01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>out of control? When you have a game that seems

1186
01:16:46.840 --> 01:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to have the personality that it is spiraling out of

1187
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:52.760
<v Speaker 1>control and oh my god, we've got to pull the

1188
01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:57.199
<v Speaker 1>reins back in here, even if your even if the

1189
01:16:57.239 --> 01:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>calls of the crew have been consistent, how do you

1190
01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>keep a game from spiraling out of control on the

1191
01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:09.159
<v Speaker 1>field and making sure that you guys meaning the officials,

1192
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>keep control of it no matter how everything seems to

1193
01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:15.159
<v Speaker 1>be going downhill?

1194
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Other two scenarios. One is at the professional level, you

1195
01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>would call the captain you know you may have a

1196
01:17:20.920 --> 01:17:25.640
<v Speaker 2>harsh foul. Or is a coming together a moment where

1197
01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:28.239
<v Speaker 2>nothing really happened, but you can tell that things are

1198
01:17:28.279 --> 01:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>about to happen. The proper protocol would be to whistle

1199
01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:36.439
<v Speaker 2>for your captains from a team to come over, have

1200
01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a nice talk with them, say boys, because at this point,

1201
01:17:40.039 --> 01:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>they're not being gentlemen.

1202
01:17:41.199 --> 01:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Boys.

1203
01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:45.039
<v Speaker 2>You need to tell you the rest of your team,

1204
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:48.239
<v Speaker 2>as I'm telling you now, the way this match is headed,

1205
01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the temperature of this match. We need to be focused

1206
01:17:51.640 --> 01:17:54.039
<v Speaker 2>on playing soccer. This is what I always tell kids.

1207
01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:56.079
<v Speaker 2>We need to be focused on playing soccer right now

1208
01:17:56.399 --> 01:17:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and right now we're not focused on soccer. We need

1209
01:17:58.439 --> 01:17:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to get back to trying to play the sport in

1210
01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>a fair manner. That's the word we want to use.

1211
01:18:04.039 --> 01:18:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Fair right, tone it down, Let's get back to playing fairly. Now.

1212
01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:13.560
<v Speaker 2>That's at the professional level where you have or whatever

1213
01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:16.560
<v Speaker 2>level you have designated captains. They've got the arm band,

1214
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:18.640
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff. A lot of the times when

1215
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:21.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm referring the captain is just whoever happened to be,

1216
01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:24.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, first to practice that week or whatever. You know,

1217
01:18:24.319 --> 01:18:27.479
<v Speaker 2>they don't really have a lot of captains designated, or

1218
01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:29.359
<v Speaker 2>even if they do, there's three of them, so you know,

1219
01:18:29.399 --> 01:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not really like you can say, okay, captain, come here. Yeah,

1220
01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:38.239
<v Speaker 2>and I have at many points. You know, one you

1221
01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:41.600
<v Speaker 2>if there's a particularly harsh vowel that you have whistled,

1222
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.239
<v Speaker 2>you call that player to you and say, hey, this

1223
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.199
<v Speaker 2>is getting out of hand. You need to control yourself

1224
01:18:48.239 --> 01:18:50.760
<v Speaker 2>and play fairly. That's if it's a player that has

1225
01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:53.720
<v Speaker 2>been kind of issues, but if it's simply if it's

1226
01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:59.479
<v Speaker 2>emblematic of a match that's going toward the chaos realm. Yeah,

1227
01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I have many times taking the opportunity after a foul

1228
01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:07.399
<v Speaker 2>before restart and I'll just I'll loudly say to the

1229
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:12.560
<v Speaker 2>entire team, y'all, that's enough. We need to focus on

1230
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:15.520
<v Speaker 2>being playing fairly. We need to play smart, and we

1231
01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:18.319
<v Speaker 2>need to play soccer. Let's get back to that and

1232
01:19:18.359 --> 01:19:21.039
<v Speaker 2>we'll go on. And usually that's kind of like the

1233
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:27.319
<v Speaker 2>warning shot of I see what's happening. Then the thing, though, John,

1234
01:19:27.479 --> 01:19:30.039
<v Speaker 2>is you have to back it up with your next action.

1235
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1236
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:34.479
<v Speaker 2>So, because there's inevitably going to be a foul after that, right,

1237
01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:38.039
<v Speaker 2>So how you react to that foul. We'll tell players

1238
01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:43.880
<v Speaker 2>how serious you are about what you just said, and

1239
01:19:43.960 --> 01:19:45.640
<v Speaker 2>so you give you a little speech, be it to

1240
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:49.720
<v Speaker 2>the captains or the teams as a whole. The next

1241
01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:51.439
<v Speaker 2>time you get a foul, you just need to be

1242
01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:56.199
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more proactive instead of reactive. So first off,

1243
01:19:56.239 --> 01:20:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you're now looking for possibly tightening your grip on the

1244
01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:02.439
<v Speaker 2>game when I know, we don't like referees when they

1245
01:20:02.439 --> 01:20:06.479
<v Speaker 2>insert themselves from the game, but you've got to tighten

1246
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:09.439
<v Speaker 2>your control on the game, and that may mean you

1247
01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:12.079
<v Speaker 2>call some extra fouls that you maybe haven't called before

1248
01:20:12.119 --> 01:20:15.279
<v Speaker 2>that I know we went consistency, but when players are

1249
01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:20.600
<v Speaker 2>showing their inability to control themselves, you have to control

1250
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the game a little bit more. So you might call

1251
01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:26.920
<v Speaker 2>some fouls that you maybe hadn't before, or maybe instead

1252
01:20:26.920 --> 01:20:29.399
<v Speaker 2>of letting an advantage play, if it's not a super

1253
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:34.960
<v Speaker 2>obvious advantage, right, you might just foul and then the

1254
01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:36.600
<v Speaker 2>other thing that you need to do. And this is

1255
01:20:36.640 --> 01:20:38.600
<v Speaker 2>good practice, but you know it doesn't always need to

1256
01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:40.680
<v Speaker 2>be done. Is you need to be very quick to

1257
01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:44.800
<v Speaker 2>get to the spot of that foul because again you're anticipating, right,

1258
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:49.720
<v Speaker 2>people acting in untoward manners.

1259
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>People acting the fool.

1260
01:20:51.760 --> 01:20:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, so you just need to be present. And

1261
01:20:55.159 --> 01:20:57.079
<v Speaker 2>it sucks because that means that you as a referee,

1262
01:20:57.159 --> 01:20:58.880
<v Speaker 2>especially if you're like me and you've refereed, you know,

1263
01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:00.800
<v Speaker 2>four games in a day, and you're like, man, it's

1264
01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:03.760
<v Speaker 2>minute sixty nine of an eighty minute match and I'm

1265
01:21:03.800 --> 01:21:06.079
<v Speaker 2>just ready to go home, and you know, there's a

1266
01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:10.359
<v Speaker 2>beer in the fridge waiting for me. You may not

1267
01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:12.039
<v Speaker 2>want to put in that extra effort to have to

1268
01:21:12.119 --> 01:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of sprint to where you called a foul, or

1269
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:17.960
<v Speaker 2>being a little bit more close to play, or being

1270
01:21:18.000 --> 01:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>a little more in tune with what players are saying

1271
01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:24.399
<v Speaker 2>or not saying. But you just have to be you

1272
01:21:24.439 --> 01:21:28.279
<v Speaker 2>as a referee, have to be a little bit more proactive,

1273
01:21:29.159 --> 01:21:33.880
<v Speaker 2>raise your level of urgency, and understand that you have

1274
01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:36.159
<v Speaker 2>to be a little bit more policing and controlling of

1275
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the game, because again, they're not controlling themselves, they're not

1276
01:21:39.399 --> 01:21:41.960
<v Speaker 2>policing themselves. You have to do that for them.

1277
01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, how hard is that?

1278
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:50.800
<v Speaker 2>That's hard, John, truly because and I've had this problem

1279
01:21:50.840 --> 01:21:53.880
<v Speaker 2>where and you know, you want the teams to be

1280
01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>able to play fair, but sometimes teams are not interested

1281
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:02.760
<v Speaker 2>in play soccer. I mean truly, you know they they

1282
01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>do come out there and they're like, I'm going to

1283
01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:07.319
<v Speaker 2>do this and that and and what's the line of

1284
01:22:07.479 --> 01:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>do I call everything or do I let them play soccer?

1285
01:22:10.680 --> 01:22:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Because at some point we got to have this game

1286
01:22:12.319 --> 01:22:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and we got to get through the ninety minutes or

1287
01:22:13.920 --> 01:22:16.840
<v Speaker 2>whatever and have some sort of result. I can't be

1288
01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:20.199
<v Speaker 2>belonging my whistle over two seconds because you know, players

1289
01:22:20.199 --> 01:22:24.079
<v Speaker 2>are being silly, so as a referee you kind of

1290
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>have to adjust your own line sometimes. You know, we

1291
01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.560
<v Speaker 2>we'd hear about this when we have finals or in

1292
01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:35.680
<v Speaker 2>a tournament play. You know, we don't want the referee

1293
01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:37.199
<v Speaker 2>to make a decision. So that's why we don't give

1294
01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:39.840
<v Speaker 2>yellow cards or whatever. And I don't necessarily agree with that,

1295
01:22:39.880 --> 01:22:41.880
<v Speaker 2>because I think you need to have your standard and

1296
01:22:41.920 --> 01:22:43.640
<v Speaker 2>if that is a yellow card, then you need to

1297
01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:47.800
<v Speaker 2>give a yellow card. Players have to be held accountable

1298
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:51.560
<v Speaker 2>for their actions. But again the problem is, how do

1299
01:22:51.640 --> 01:22:56.199
<v Speaker 2>we as referees understand that our standard and their standards

1300
01:22:56.239 --> 01:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>are a little incompatible and we have to somehow find

1301
01:22:58.359 --> 01:23:01.520
<v Speaker 2>a way to to meet the where they are in

1302
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:05.960
<v Speaker 2>some cases while still maintaining a fair play in the

1303
01:23:06.000 --> 01:23:07.600
<v Speaker 2>game and the laws of the game.

1304
01:23:07.960 --> 01:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>It's hard along those lines. How hard is it to

1305
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:15.520
<v Speaker 1>bring your crew along with you, if that makes any sense,

1306
01:23:15.520 --> 01:23:21.199
<v Speaker 1>If if I'm wording that properly too, it's like, okay, guys,

1307
01:23:21.279 --> 01:23:22.720
<v Speaker 1>we've all got to pull the rope here.

1308
01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>How hard well part of that is going to be

1309
01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:29.399
<v Speaker 2>when you're at the professional level, or you know, at

1310
01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:32.199
<v Speaker 2>our level. You're probably looking at maybe the college game

1311
01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:37.840
<v Speaker 2>or semipro where you do have communications headsets. That is

1312
01:23:37.880 --> 01:23:40.079
<v Speaker 2>a conversation you're having throughout the game, like, oh, this

1313
01:23:40.159 --> 01:23:42.920
<v Speaker 2>is getting chippy, and maybe your ar is saying something

1314
01:23:42.920 --> 01:23:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to your fourth official met be probably the one who's

1315
01:23:45.560 --> 01:23:50.119
<v Speaker 2>really able to measure that a little bit better, and

1316
01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:54.279
<v Speaker 2>they might give you that in the in your ear

1317
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:56.079
<v Speaker 2>peers saying like, hey, man, like it's getting a little

1318
01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:57.680
<v Speaker 2>out of hand. You might want to tighten up a

1319
01:23:57.720 --> 01:24:04.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit. But when you don't have that, the center

1320
01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:07.439
<v Speaker 2>referee is a little bit isolated out there. You might

1321
01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:11.760
<v Speaker 2>have that talk at halftime say hey, look, things are

1322
01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>getting a little out of hand. I need you all

1323
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:19.439
<v Speaker 2>to be a little more observant of things happening behind

1324
01:24:19.479 --> 01:24:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the play. I need you to be more willing to

1325
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:24.079
<v Speaker 2>pop your flag and call a foul if you need to.

1326
01:24:26.840 --> 01:24:33.239
<v Speaker 2>So you might say that, but it is hard at

1327
01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:35.159
<v Speaker 2>my level when I'm not running out there with a

1328
01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:41.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, five hundred dollars communications set to communicate with

1329
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:43.800
<v Speaker 2>the rest of my officials. Now, part of that is

1330
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>also that they're not really in charge of making those decisions.

1331
01:24:46.960 --> 01:24:51.239
<v Speaker 2>They really aren't a good official will understand, oh, I

1332
01:24:51.279 --> 01:24:54.279
<v Speaker 2>need to be a little more A good AR will

1333
01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>also understand who I need to kind of tighten up

1334
01:24:57.000 --> 01:25:01.680
<v Speaker 2>my own game here, and they might see the center going, okay,

1335
01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:05.079
<v Speaker 2>he's he's taking a little bit more of a proactive approach.

1336
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I need to do that as well. But when you

1337
01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>do not have that communication device on your head, it

1338
01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:14.479
<v Speaker 2>is hard because there's not really a time that you

1339
01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:18.119
<v Speaker 2>can just go talk to your AR. You know, there

1340
01:25:18.199 --> 01:25:20.199
<v Speaker 2>might there are hand signals maybe you could give. You

1341
01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:21.920
<v Speaker 2>can maybe look at it and me like, hey, hey, John,

1342
01:25:22.079 --> 01:25:24.039
<v Speaker 2>like you know, this is kind of our signal of

1343
01:25:24.079 --> 01:25:28.600
<v Speaker 2>like we need to tighten up a bit, but it's

1344
01:25:28.680 --> 01:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>not really there's not really a natural break in action

1345
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>for us to be able to do that. So it

1346
01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:35.079
<v Speaker 2>is hard. It's just something that as a center referee

1347
01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:36.760
<v Speaker 2>you have to kind of lead by example and hope

1348
01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:38.840
<v Speaker 2>the ars follow you in that example.

1349
01:25:39.239 --> 01:25:41.239
<v Speaker 1>And this just popped into my head as a question,

1350
01:25:41.399 --> 01:25:44.880
<v Speaker 1>how much more difficult is it or is it easier

1351
01:25:45.039 --> 01:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>when you have a two ref setup and you don't

1352
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:55.079
<v Speaker 1>have ars versus a solo ref with ars, Because there

1353
01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>are times in the high school there are times in

1354
01:25:58.600 --> 01:26:01.039
<v Speaker 1>the high school game where you'll have of the two

1355
01:26:01.119 --> 01:26:03.840
<v Speaker 1>refs and it'll be like a fifty to fifty on

1356
01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>opposite sides or what have you, versus the center f

1357
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:10.479
<v Speaker 1>with ars. How much more difficult is it to navigate

1358
01:26:10.479 --> 01:26:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a match when there's just two of you versus Yeah.

1359
01:26:12.439 --> 01:26:14.479
<v Speaker 2>There's a reason why the two man system is not

1360
01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:21.560
<v Speaker 2>allowed in USSU, and it's mainly just because now you

1361
01:26:21.640 --> 01:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>have two decisions like actual decision makers. And that's kind

1362
01:26:24.840 --> 01:26:28.840
<v Speaker 2>of the issue here is you have an ARS are

1363
01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>assistant referees. They have very two, very specific jobs. Their

1364
01:26:33.079 --> 01:26:35.399
<v Speaker 2>number one job is offside, right, because that is something

1365
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:39.039
<v Speaker 2>that as a center referee, I factually just cannot call

1366
01:26:39.079 --> 01:26:41.920
<v Speaker 2>every time that's I can't do it. I cannot be

1367
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:44.560
<v Speaker 2>able to see that, which is also why I hate

1368
01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:46.239
<v Speaker 2>that at the U ten level we still have it

1369
01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:48.239
<v Speaker 2>because we don't have ARS a lot of times and

1370
01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>we're still expected to call it and I go, I

1371
01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:55.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know, he might be offside. So from that standpoint,

1372
01:26:55.840 --> 01:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you have ARS there to literally just call off side.

1373
01:26:59.039 --> 01:27:02.880
<v Speaker 2>And then their secondary job, which technically is their secondary job,

1374
01:27:03.000 --> 01:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>is balls in and out of play. Again, those are

1375
01:27:07.039 --> 01:27:09.479
<v Speaker 2>things that as an as a center referee, it's hard

1376
01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:13.760
<v Speaker 2>for me to truly like call correctly one hundred percent

1377
01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of the time. But other than that, the ars really

1378
01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:22.800
<v Speaker 2>aren't supposed to do too much. You know, we asked

1379
01:27:22.880 --> 01:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>them to help us out on foul calls, but even

1380
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:28.399
<v Speaker 2>then it needs to be coming from the center official

1381
01:27:28.439 --> 01:27:30.880
<v Speaker 2>most of the time. So when you add two true

1382
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>decision makers on the field, it just gets a little

1383
01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:35.239
<v Speaker 2>crazy because you might have one who sees the game

1384
01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:38.399
<v Speaker 2>a little bit different than the other, and so truly

1385
01:27:38.439 --> 01:27:40.760
<v Speaker 2>a foul on one half the field could not be

1386
01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:42.359
<v Speaker 2>a foul on the other half. And it's because you

1387
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.760
<v Speaker 2>have two different set of eyes and two different perspectives

1388
01:27:46.079 --> 01:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>calling a game.

1389
01:27:47.880 --> 01:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Like I said, I just wanted to that was

1390
01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:51.199
<v Speaker 1>literally was something that.

1391
01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:53.800
<v Speaker 2>John that they do it because you don't have that

1392
01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>like to get three referees for you know, say you

1393
01:27:56.840 --> 01:28:00.159
<v Speaker 2>have ten referee ten games on a on a Friday night, right,

1394
01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:07.079
<v Speaker 2>and that would mean thirty referees versus twenty, you know.

1395
01:28:07.119 --> 01:28:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's just the reason why they do the

1396
01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:13.119
<v Speaker 2>two man. It's not for any other reason than money

1397
01:28:13.159 --> 01:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and availability of referees.

1398
01:28:15.279 --> 01:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Like I said, just Derek is obviously also not

1399
01:28:19.039 --> 01:28:20.199
<v Speaker 1>a fan of the two rep.

1400
01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, it is what it is.

1401
01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

1402
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I if I remember correctly, you know, Georgia High School

1403
01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:30.720
<v Speaker 2>basically mandated that, at least when I was playing that

1404
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:33.199
<v Speaker 2>if it's a region game, like a game that meant something.

1405
01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:37.000
<v Speaker 2>So region games and playoff games needed to have three

1406
01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>officials because you know, they do require that. I don't

1407
01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:43.479
<v Speaker 2>know how much they're able to actually stick to that, yeah,

1408
01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:49.399
<v Speaker 2>because again it's tough, especially when you have guys like

1409
01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:51.479
<v Speaker 2>me who don't referee high school because I can't get

1410
01:28:51.520 --> 01:28:53.319
<v Speaker 2>to a high school at five thirty in the afternoon

1411
01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:54.600
<v Speaker 2>when I work until five.

1412
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you know, yes, the whole real world thing getting

1413
01:28:58.279 --> 01:28:58.600
<v Speaker 1>in the world.

1414
01:28:58.680 --> 01:29:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean seriously, you know why most if Johnny

1415
01:29:01.279 --> 01:29:02.479
<v Speaker 2>know this, When you look at a lot of high

1416
01:29:02.479 --> 01:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>school officials, they look older than you.

1417
01:29:05.479 --> 01:29:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Mm.

1418
01:29:06.640 --> 01:29:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Why is that? You know, Yeah, they're retired or you

1419
01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:13.079
<v Speaker 2>know something. You know, they're already up at six am

1420
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:15.119
<v Speaker 2>so that they they're done with work by three or whatever.

1421
01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they do it. Yes, it is

1422
01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:22.399
<v Speaker 2>a problem, but it's also just kind of you know,

1423
01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>it is what it is.

1424
01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:29.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, then so then what would you say for those

1425
01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:34.039
<v Speaker 1>that I mean, because we know across the board that

1426
01:29:34.159 --> 01:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the sport needs more officials. How would you how would

1427
01:29:39.680 --> 01:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you impress upon individuals that might be sitting on the

1428
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>fence or you know, I don't know, I'm not.

1429
01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I would not put this on the individuals who aren't involved.

1430
01:29:48.079 --> 01:29:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I would put on the individuals who are making decisions

1431
01:29:50.840 --> 01:29:54.159
<v Speaker 2>for those who are involved. Okay, so entirely too expensive

1432
01:29:54.199 --> 01:29:57.199
<v Speaker 2>to expect people to put forth the money, not just

1433
01:29:57.399 --> 01:30:01.479
<v Speaker 2>to certify, but then for the equipment that you need

1434
01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to referee, and then you add onto you know, specific

1435
01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>to the situation. Just start the games a little later.

1436
01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:11.800
<v Speaker 2>It's really well it is. You know, I can swing

1437
01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:15.359
<v Speaker 2>getting off at four. Yeah, you know I can't swing

1438
01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:18.319
<v Speaker 2>getting off at three thirty. Yeah, because I have to

1439
01:30:18.319 --> 01:30:20.239
<v Speaker 2>be there for high school games A lot of times,

1440
01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:22.199
<v Speaker 2>you thirty minutes before is too late.

1441
01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:24.319
<v Speaker 1>If that makes sense, Yeah, it did.

1442
01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:26.479
<v Speaker 2>So if you're starting at five thirty and I have

1443
01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:30.119
<v Speaker 2>to be there at five and I'm going, you know,

1444
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>or I need to be there at four thirty, I

1445
01:30:32.640 --> 01:30:36.359
<v Speaker 2>should say, well, that means I need to leave a

1446
01:30:36.399 --> 01:30:40.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of times, you know, thirty minutes to forty five

1447
01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:42.560
<v Speaker 2>minutes to an hour beforehand, depending on where I'm going.

1448
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:44.239
<v Speaker 2>And Lord knows, in Atlanta. It takes an hour to

1449
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:45.119
<v Speaker 2>get from Atlanta.

1450
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I think Atlanta, and I would think, and

1451
01:30:49.239 --> 01:30:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that, and I don't know the machinations

1452
01:30:52.359 --> 01:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>involved in something like this, but I would maintain that

1453
01:30:55.960 --> 01:31:02.720
<v Speaker 1>if you had a rash of available officials and you

1454
01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:08.960
<v Speaker 1>knew where they lived going into a season, that you

1455
01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:14.560
<v Speaker 1>could orchestrate, say for you, as an example, knowing where,

1456
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:16.840
<v Speaker 1>knowing the part of the knowing the part of the

1457
01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:21.000
<v Speaker 1>planet that you that you're in. Yeah, if I gave

1458
01:31:21.079 --> 01:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you assignments at North Atlanta, if I gave you an

1459
01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>assignment at Midtown, if I gave you an assignment in

1460
01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the Cab County at Saint Adams or something, or north

1461
01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:42.159
<v Speaker 1>to Cab, something like that, something geographically desirable, it would

1462
01:31:42.199 --> 01:31:45.920
<v Speaker 1>be a lot easier for you to make those those

1463
01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>deadlines and make those appearance deadlines so you could call

1464
01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:53.039
<v Speaker 1>the matches so you don't have these shortages.

1465
01:31:54.319 --> 01:31:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and no promise, John, where did you know a

1466
01:31:57.239 --> 01:31:58.239
<v Speaker 2>lot of the referees live?

1467
01:31:58.720 --> 01:31:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1468
01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Also in that similar geographic area you know, So you're right.

1469
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:07.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in theory, you're getting assigned games that are

1470
01:32:07.239 --> 01:32:09.279
<v Speaker 2>close to you, but you also the other problem is

1471
01:32:09.319 --> 01:32:13.840
<v Speaker 2>like say, I say Bart Keeler lived still in Gwinnette County, right, Okay,

1472
01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:16.640
<v Speaker 2>so Kart Beeler lives in in in you know, Bart

1473
01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:21.399
<v Speaker 2>still lives in Gwinnette, as do a lot of other officials.

1474
01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Gwenette has. Oh gosh, I don't even know how many

1475
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:29.880
<v Speaker 2>high schools we have now A lot, A lot, I

1476
01:32:29.880 --> 01:32:33.159
<v Speaker 2>mean seriously a lot. I mean it's grown. It's almost

1477
01:32:33.239 --> 01:32:34.520
<v Speaker 2>double since I graduated.

1478
01:32:34.640 --> 01:32:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you're talking entire regions in classification, in

1479
01:32:38.359 --> 01:32:39.439
<v Speaker 1>multiple areas. You know.

1480
01:32:40.199 --> 01:32:44.800
<v Speaker 2>So there are a lot of officials who live in

1481
01:32:44.840 --> 01:32:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and around Gwennette County, right, but they're also problem there

1482
01:32:48.720 --> 01:32:52.239
<v Speaker 2>as John. And not to be a little bit arrogant,

1483
01:32:52.239 --> 01:32:54.840
<v Speaker 2>but if you're in Cobb or Gunette, guess what those are?

1484
01:32:54.840 --> 01:32:57.439
<v Speaker 2>Where the best high school teams are. I mean that

1485
01:32:57.479 --> 01:32:59.840
<v Speaker 2>bears out year ever a year over year. I mean,

1486
01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:05.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you look at Wheeler, Marietta, Chattahoochee, and then

1487
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:10.319
<v Speaker 2>you look at park View, Grayson, Brookwood, Peatree, Ridge, Mill Creek,

1488
01:33:10.600 --> 01:33:14.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, berkmar of recent state change. You know, all

1489
01:33:14.159 --> 01:33:19.680
<v Speaker 2>these high schools that have high level teams. Because also

1490
01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:21.359
<v Speaker 2>when you look at the youth clubs where the youth

1491
01:33:21.359 --> 01:33:26.039
<v Speaker 2>clubs are in Gobyn Gwinett. So now you're talking about

1492
01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:27.680
<v Speaker 2>well like, well, you have to have a referee who's

1493
01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:32.039
<v Speaker 2>up to I mean, John, you've covered it. You gotta

1494
01:33:32.079 --> 01:33:34.720
<v Speaker 2>have a refereees up to the park forew Brookwood standigans.

1495
01:33:34.840 --> 01:33:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes you know, I mean GHSA doesn't just put any

1496
01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:41.239
<v Speaker 2>group of seven guys out there for that park for

1497
01:33:41.359 --> 01:33:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Brookwood football game. Because if you do that, you know

1498
01:33:50.960 --> 01:33:54.199
<v Speaker 2>that that you know, that's that's the other problem here is,

1499
01:33:54.279 --> 01:33:57.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't have Wheeler Marietta go out there

1500
01:33:57.279 --> 01:33:59.039
<v Speaker 2>and just be like, all right, y'all have fun. Here's

1501
01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:00.720
<v Speaker 2>some two guys who have never referee before.

1502
01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can't. You can't have Hillgrove in the Keecher

1503
01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:05.079
<v Speaker 1>and going No.

1504
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, you can't do that. You can't have McIntosh and

1505
01:34:11.039 --> 01:34:12.960
<v Speaker 2>stars Milk go out there and say, here's some guys

1506
01:34:12.960 --> 01:34:14.720
<v Speaker 2>who have never played soccer before.

1507
01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, yeah, you can't have a two ref system

1508
01:34:17.520 --> 01:34:18.840
<v Speaker 1>for Dalton and Macintosh.

1509
01:34:18.960 --> 01:34:23.239
<v Speaker 2>No oh god, no, you know. And that's the other

1510
01:34:23.239 --> 01:34:28.520
<v Speaker 2>thing is okay, well Gainesville Dalton, oh boy, you know

1511
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:33.720
<v Speaker 2>those are referee those are way up there. Yeah, And

1512
01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:36.439
<v Speaker 2>the reality is most of the good referees live in

1513
01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:38.960
<v Speaker 2>and around the Atlanta area because they get a lot

1514
01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:43.239
<v Speaker 2>of the better games because that's where the better clubs are. Anyway,

1515
01:34:43.640 --> 01:34:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it is a it is a multi faceted, most multi

1516
01:34:47.079 --> 01:34:48.079
<v Speaker 2>layered problem.

1517
01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's just what it is.

1518
01:34:52.359 --> 01:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>And as Abby also points out, the referee thing is cost.

1519
01:34:56.199 --> 01:34:58.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, schools are paying the cost and so paying

1520
01:34:58.840 --> 01:35:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the cost for three referees versus two referees, well, you know,

1521
01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:05.359
<v Speaker 2>you may pay both referees sixty bucks. I think it's

1522
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:08.520
<v Speaker 2>one hundred actually for a center. Okay, that's two hundred dollars.

1523
01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:09.720
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a lot. But if you have to

1524
01:35:09.800 --> 01:35:14.960
<v Speaker 2>pay a center ninety say now a three man crew.

1525
01:35:15.039 --> 01:35:17.560
<v Speaker 2>But then you got to play the pay the you know,

1526
01:35:17.800 --> 01:35:22.239
<v Speaker 2>the ar is sixty to seventy bucks each. Well, now

1527
01:35:22.359 --> 01:35:24.920
<v Speaker 2>that's more than paying two referees one hundred bucks.

1528
01:35:24.640 --> 01:35:31.039
<v Speaker 1>So forty you're hoping that you get at least fifty

1529
01:35:31.079 --> 01:35:32.520
<v Speaker 1>people to come in and watch the match.

1530
01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, And you're not charging a whole lot. And

1531
01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:37.960
<v Speaker 2>that's another thing is they have gotten to somehow, for

1532
01:35:37.960 --> 01:35:40.439
<v Speaker 2>some reason, charging students to attend games, which I think

1533
01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:42.880
<v Speaker 2>is the dumbest thing that's ever happened. Ever, I think

1534
01:35:43.680 --> 01:35:51.920
<v Speaker 2>but that uh huh. Anyway, there are a lot of issues,

1535
01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:56.399
<v Speaker 2>and this is where I contendally just want to say

1536
01:35:56.439 --> 01:35:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the problem a lot of times is because you have

1537
01:35:58.680 --> 01:36:01.479
<v Speaker 2>people making decisions that are not making decisions for the

1538
01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:05.720
<v Speaker 2>benefit of the kids playing the game. Okay, period. I

1539
01:36:05.720 --> 01:36:09.479
<v Speaker 2>think that is a fair assessment. You have a lot

1540
01:36:09.520 --> 01:36:13.520
<v Speaker 2>of people, though, who are trying to do right as well,

1541
01:36:13.760 --> 01:36:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and we need more people who are involved in the

1542
01:36:16.600 --> 01:36:19.640
<v Speaker 2>game whose goal is to make the game better, not

1543
01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:24.039
<v Speaker 2>make money off the game. This may or may not

1544
01:36:24.039 --> 01:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>be coming up in the my So this week is

1545
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:29.920
<v Speaker 2>soccer for us where we talk about resolutions.

1546
01:36:30.039 --> 01:36:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so as to tease, as they say in the biz.

1547
01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:38.479
<v Speaker 2>The problem we have in this country is it's expensive, yes,

1548
01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:42.600
<v Speaker 2>to participate in this game. We all know this, but

1549
01:36:42.640 --> 01:36:48.239
<v Speaker 2>it's also hard to do something for the benefit of

1550
01:36:48.279 --> 01:36:50.399
<v Speaker 2>the game because there are way too many people who

1551
01:36:50.399 --> 01:36:56.000
<v Speaker 2>see this as a business opportunity and this country views

1552
01:36:56.039 --> 01:36:59.279
<v Speaker 2>capitalism as the only virtue. And until we get away

1553
01:36:59.279 --> 01:37:02.560
<v Speaker 2>from that, we're going to have these problems continually. And

1554
01:37:02.600 --> 01:37:05.199
<v Speaker 2>you and you soccer and new sports across the port.

1555
01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:10.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay, uh and so when are you getting together to

1556
01:37:10.920 --> 01:37:13.359
<v Speaker 1>record the new episode of soccer.

1557
01:37:13.399 --> 01:37:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Tonight or tomorrow night. We're trying to figure out schedules

1558
01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:18.319
<v Speaker 2>because a couple of people have kids, and what did

1559
01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the kids do this week? John, they go back to

1560
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:26.600
<v Speaker 2>school Friday.

1561
01:37:26.720 --> 01:37:28.479
<v Speaker 1>Why the supplies kick him in the buttons?

1562
01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:31.479
<v Speaker 2>And I know, I know we'll have an episode out

1563
01:37:31.520 --> 01:37:33.600
<v Speaker 2>by Friday. So that's that is the plan. So we'll

1564
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:36.079
<v Speaker 2>be recording early this week. But we're trying to nail

1565
01:37:36.119 --> 01:37:38.239
<v Speaker 2>down when, because again, you know, you may think the

1566
01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:40.439
<v Speaker 2>schedule is what it is until you send them after

1567
01:37:40.439 --> 01:37:43.199
<v Speaker 2>school today and then you know, things happen and then

1568
01:37:43.520 --> 01:37:45.920
<v Speaker 2>both both the other guys I also have kids playing soccer,

1569
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:49.039
<v Speaker 2>so that that doesn't help either, because I'm sure the

1570
01:37:49.079 --> 01:37:53.600
<v Speaker 2>one in Maine probably isn't playing soccer today the weather,

1571
01:37:53.680 --> 01:37:56.600
<v Speaker 2>But Georgia can still go out and play soccer.

1572
01:37:56.720 --> 01:37:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the weather on the big fifty five

1573
01:37:58.720 --> 01:38:00.880
<v Speaker 1>off in my left. Yeah there's a lot of pink

1574
01:38:00.920 --> 01:38:02.319
<v Speaker 1>and purple, and yeah.

1575
01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Go buy your milk and brid y'all so you can

1576
01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:05.039
<v Speaker 2>have your milk bread sandwiches.

1577
01:38:05.319 --> 01:38:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, milk bread sandwiches. All right, my friend, it's always

1578
01:38:07.840 --> 01:38:09.640
<v Speaker 1>great to catch up with you on Mondays. We're looking

1579
01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:12.119
<v Speaker 1>forward to that new episode of the Soccer for USPOD

1580
01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:14.399
<v Speaker 1>and we'll catch up with you soon. Good morning Baltimore,

1581
01:38:14.560 --> 01:38:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Baltimore.

1582
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll have predictions and resolutions coming out this Friday,

1583
01:38:17.680 --> 01:38:19.399
<v Speaker 2>so I'll be good yes.

1584
01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:21.479
<v Speaker 1>Or not, whichever is more fun. So there goes Bart,

1585
01:38:21.640 --> 01:38:26.159
<v Speaker 1>and it's always fun to have Bart kind of break

1586
01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>everything down from a couple of different angles, and it's

1587
01:38:29.319 --> 01:38:33.079
<v Speaker 1>always it's always fun to get his perspective on things.

1588
01:38:33.119 --> 01:38:35.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's always it's always nice to have Bart dropping

1589
01:38:35.800 --> 01:38:39.560
<v Speaker 1>by on Mondays or pretty much whenever Bart raises his

1590
01:38:39.640 --> 01:38:41.960
<v Speaker 1>hand and he sits there and goes, yo, fam, I

1591
01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:45.159
<v Speaker 1>got something to talk about. So it's always it's always

1592
01:38:45.279 --> 01:38:48.439
<v Speaker 1>fun to get the reffing perspective from Bart, to have

1593
01:38:48.520 --> 01:38:51.239
<v Speaker 1>him walk through plays so we can understand more about

1594
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:54.880
<v Speaker 1>perhaps the mental aspect of the game from a center

1595
01:38:54.920 --> 01:38:58.199
<v Speaker 1>ref perspective and things like that. So Soccer for us

1596
01:38:58.239 --> 01:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>PO d at Bartamus Prime nineteen on the two hundred

1597
01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and eighty character app. I do have a breaking news sounder,

1598
01:39:08.279 --> 01:39:11.680
<v Speaker 1>but I am not going to use it because it's

1599
01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:14.680
<v Speaker 1>not news. If we get to the point to where

1600
01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>something is news, I will use the breaking new sounder,

1601
01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:25.159
<v Speaker 1>but apparently. According to Ben Jacobs and our friends at GMS,

1602
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Lowpategy is said to be sacked by west Ham Graham

1603
01:39:28.319 --> 01:39:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Potter as a leading candidate to replace, So keep an

1604
01:39:31.680 --> 01:39:42.000
<v Speaker 1>eye on that involving involving folks and involving the idea

1605
01:39:42.119 --> 01:39:47.279
<v Speaker 1>of perhaps oh I don't know you, Sir can can

1606
01:39:47.319 --> 01:39:49.560
<v Speaker 1>be the new head coach at west Ham. So it

1607
01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>looks like Juwel and Lopateggy might be on his way

1608
01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:55.880
<v Speaker 1>out on the board. It looks like Brian mccab has

1609
01:39:55.920 --> 01:39:58.840
<v Speaker 1>signed a new contract to mark his eleventh season and

1610
01:39:58.920 --> 01:40:01.760
<v Speaker 1>loose in the louisvill at lou City for twenty twenty five.

1611
01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:05.720
<v Speaker 1>So he has signed a new deal. Red Bulls Red

1612
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Bulls two defender jay R Colajuazo has been named to ECUADORI,

1614
01:40:12.359 --> 01:40:16.399

1615
01:40:16.520 --> 01:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>joining Lexington SC's men's team in a transfer from San

1616
01:40:21.039 --> 01:40:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Antonio FC, so there's news there as well. Joe Bellingham

1617
01:40:26.399 --> 01:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>being targeted by Crystal Palace again this January. According to

1618
01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:33.199
<v Speaker 1>our friends at Talks, Sport Eagles hold a long term

1619
01:40:33.199 --> 01:40:35.079
<v Speaker 1>interest in the nineteen year old who has valued at

1620
01:40:35.119 --> 01:40:40.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty million pounds by Sunderland. So there's that information. The

1621
01:40:40.960 --> 01:40:43.479
<v Speaker 1>other stuff that we wanted to get into involving Major

1622
01:40:43.520 --> 01:40:50.560
<v Speaker 1>League Soccer Toronto FC, according to that great reporter known

1623
01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>as Sources, sounds like a rock group from the nineties. Sources,

1624
01:40:56.680 --> 01:41:05.079
<v Speaker 1>it appears that there might be possibly, probably maybe working

1625
01:41:05.119 --> 01:41:11.399
<v Speaker 1>towards a departure for Lorenzo Insignia in the winter. So

1626
01:41:11.520 --> 01:41:15.319
<v Speaker 1>according to Tom Boger, Tommy Scoop says, nothing is imminent

1627
01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:18.359
<v Speaker 1>or settled, so it's not quite a scoop, so it's

1628
01:41:19.560 --> 01:41:23.720
<v Speaker 1>staring at tea leaves, perhaps by Tommy Scoops. Both sides

1629
01:41:23.840 --> 01:41:27.840
<v Speaker 1>motivated to split before the twenty five season. Sources say

1630
01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:31.720
<v Speaker 1>transfer windows open for the most of the world this month,

1631
01:41:32.159 --> 01:41:35.079
<v Speaker 1>so literally the transfer windows opened this month for the

1632
01:41:35.119 --> 01:41:38.600
<v Speaker 1>rest of the planet doesn't kick in from Major League

1633
01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Soccer until the end of the month, so it could

1634
01:41:42.479 --> 01:41:45.159
<v Speaker 1>see a return to Europe for Insignia or head to

1635
01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East. Toronto could choose to use the contract buyout.

1636
01:41:49.680 --> 01:41:54.560
<v Speaker 1>We talked about the buyout involving Atlanta United players and

1637
01:41:54.720 --> 01:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>just as an fyi I mentioned controlling an asset, the contractual,

1638
01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the monetary, very ideas behind it. Santi Sosa last year,

1639
01:42:03.560 --> 01:42:07.279
<v Speaker 1>to give you an idea, guaranteed compensation was seven hundred

1640
01:42:07.279 --> 01:42:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and seventy eight thousand dollars. And there was a reason

1641
01:42:11.680 --> 01:42:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that at Land United kept him under contract was because

1642
01:42:16.119 --> 01:42:20.880
<v Speaker 1>there were clubs that were interested. Rossing was interested, and

1643
01:42:20.920 --> 01:42:24.760
<v Speaker 1>so Rossing knocked on at Land United's door, didn't and

1644
01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:29.560
<v Speaker 1>saw the seven seventy eight one and didn't flinch. So

1645
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:35.199
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're uh So, just as a contractual comparison,

1646
01:42:36.199 --> 01:42:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Luisa Brahm guaranteed compensation last year eight seventy one, So

1647
01:42:40.159 --> 01:42:45.279
<v Speaker 1>it's one hundred thousand dollars difference in the asset that

1648
01:42:45.319 --> 01:42:49.159
<v Speaker 1>we were discussing. In an asset, there's always a reason

1649
01:42:49.159 --> 01:42:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that until the bitter bitter end, if no club on

1650
01:42:52.880 --> 01:42:56.920
<v Speaker 1>this planet is interested, then you would use the bio

1651
01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:02.720
<v Speaker 1>for Toronto. By the way, in Signor's contract runs for

1652
01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the summer of twenty twenty six. In Signe's the second

1653
01:43:05.640 --> 01:43:08.680
<v Speaker 1>highest paid player in Major League Soccer behind Messi. He

1654
01:43:08.760 --> 01:43:14.239
<v Speaker 1>makes fifteen point four fifteen point four for Lorenzo and Signe,

1655
01:43:15.960 --> 01:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>more than the total wage bill of seven Major League

1656
01:43:21.279 --> 01:43:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Soccer clubs. So Lorenzo in Signe by his lonesome, by

1657
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:40.840
<v Speaker 1>his lonesome, made more than an ish ton of teams

1658
01:43:42.079 --> 01:43:46.800
<v Speaker 1>himself fifteen point four million, just to give you an idea,

1659
01:43:49.359 --> 01:43:56.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen point four Well, and you're looking at the senior

1660
01:43:56.640 --> 01:44:00.439
<v Speaker 1>wage bill. Total allocations, by the way, are aren't that bad?

1661
01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Fifteen point four was more than San Jose and Montreal

1662
01:44:06.159 --> 01:44:10.079
<v Speaker 1>in total allocation. But if you're looking at it from

1663
01:44:10.119 --> 01:44:15.880
<v Speaker 1>just senior moneies given, then it's a lot more than that.

1664
01:44:16.279 --> 01:44:23.239
<v Speaker 1>So fifteen point four by the way, so fifteen point

1665
01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:32.800
<v Speaker 1>four is eleven fourteen more than half if you're looking

1666
01:44:32.840 --> 01:44:38.239
<v Speaker 1>at senior roster spots. By the way, total allocations at

1667
01:44:38.279 --> 01:44:42.439
<v Speaker 1>fifteen point four, he only made more than San Jose

1668
01:44:42.520 --> 01:44:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and Montreal in total, but senior dollars at fifteen point

1669
01:44:48.760 --> 01:44:56.680
<v Speaker 1>four he made more than NYC, Charlotte, Portland, Sporting Atlanta, Crewe, Vancouver,

1670
01:44:56.800 --> 01:45:01.119
<v Speaker 1>San Jose, Minnesota all Caps, Colorado, RSO, Philadelphia. In Montreal,

1671
01:45:01.640 --> 01:45:06.399
<v Speaker 1>that's senior dollars. Total allocations is just two by the way,

1672
01:45:07.199 --> 01:45:10.000
<v Speaker 1>fifteen point four San Jose in Montreal. San Jose was

1673
01:45:10.079 --> 01:45:13.640
<v Speaker 1>just under fifteen and Montreal was just over twelve. We

1674
01:45:13.680 --> 01:45:19.479
<v Speaker 1>do have news involving or reports involving Montreal coming up

1675
01:45:19.479 --> 01:45:24.960
<v Speaker 1>in just a sec So fifteen point four. Some MLS

1676
01:45:24.960 --> 01:45:27.399
<v Speaker 1>clubs report for preseason training within the week, the rest

1677
01:45:27.439 --> 01:45:33.359
<v Speaker 1>within two. And this follows into the age of understatement

1678
01:45:33.720 --> 01:45:37.439
<v Speaker 1>from Bogert in Signor's North American sojourn has not gone

1679
01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to plan. Forward's time has been marked not by goals

1680
01:45:43.760 --> 01:45:46.720
<v Speaker 1>or assists, but by losses, off field, drama and lack

1681
01:45:46.760 --> 01:45:51.359
<v Speaker 1>of availability. Toronto has not made the playoffs once in

1682
01:45:51.439 --> 01:45:53.039
<v Speaker 1>his two and a half years at the club, finishing

1683
01:45:53.079 --> 01:45:56.720
<v Speaker 1>dead last in twenty twenty three. Fifty four regular season

1684
01:45:56.720 --> 01:45:59.159
<v Speaker 1>appearances in his time at the club fourteen and fourteen.

1685
01:45:59.239 --> 01:46:05.800
<v Speaker 1>By the way, so there was an article in twenty

1686
01:46:05.800 --> 01:46:09.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty three at The Athletic that Tom Bogert references by

1687
01:46:09.239 --> 01:46:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Joshua Clokey behind the scenes look at the locker room,

1688
01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in which in Signior pushed for the firing of head

1689
01:46:14.680 --> 01:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>coach Bob Bradley. Do you remember that? Later that season

1690
01:46:19.560 --> 01:46:22.159
<v Speaker 1>The Athletic also detail an incident which in Signior stormed

1691
01:46:22.159 --> 01:46:24.479
<v Speaker 1>out of training after an argument with Terry Dunfield, the

1692
01:46:24.479 --> 01:46:31.359
<v Speaker 1>interim who'd replaced Bradley. Toronto playing Messi and Friends in

1693
01:46:31.399 --> 01:46:33.520
<v Speaker 1>signior was only fit enough to make the bench. Subbed

1694
01:46:33.520 --> 01:46:35.920
<v Speaker 1>in toward the end of the match, John Hardman appeared

1695
01:46:35.960 --> 01:46:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to take a shot in senior At the press conference quote,

1696
01:46:38.880 --> 01:46:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you could see he didn't have much in him. I

1697
01:46:40.840 --> 01:46:46.600
<v Speaker 1>think he managed to get Messi's shirt though. But yeah,

1698
01:46:46.840 --> 01:46:50.000
<v Speaker 1>still without a head coach. By the way, Toronto, they

1699
01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:53.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have a head coach yet. Final stage of that

1700
01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:59.520
<v Speaker 1>search according to Bogert. By the way, Bernardeski still on

1701
01:46:59.560 --> 01:47:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the roster, not making fifteen point four. Also the transfer notebook,

1702
01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:12.399
<v Speaker 1>it looks like Zamelec in Egypt is negotiating to sign

1703
01:47:12.439 --> 01:47:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Mahalo Opoku from c F Montreal. Themelek submitted a loan

1704
01:47:16.840 --> 01:47:19.319
<v Speaker 1>bid with a purchase option. Montreal are not interested in

1705
01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:26.119
<v Speaker 1>entertaining a loan offer. Talks are continuing. Total of nineteen

1706
01:47:26.199 --> 01:47:29.359
<v Speaker 1>players have left Montreal in the last two windows. A

1707
01:47:29.399 --> 01:47:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Poku would make twenty. Montreal brought in Caden Clark, Jaquil Marshall,

1708
01:47:33.720 --> 01:47:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Ruddy and Fabian Aerbers. This winner, the Soamlek are the

1709
01:47:38.039 --> 01:47:40.880
<v Speaker 1>top dogs in the Egyptian Premier League fourteen points after

1710
01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:45.640
<v Speaker 1>seven matches, fourteen titles, five CALF Champions League title since two.

1711
01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Only two clubs have won the Egyptian title, Zamalkanlaclete, Club

1712
01:47:50.760 --> 01:47:56.439
<v Speaker 1>America Cluba Medica have bid for Ritchie Ledesma. PSV bids

1713
01:47:56.520 --> 01:48:03.279
<v Speaker 1>under review says that Luis Merlow, at all Ledesma's eligible

1714
01:48:03.319 --> 01:48:06.159
<v Speaker 1>for the Mexican national team could count as a domestic player.

1715
01:48:06.199 --> 01:48:11.039
<v Speaker 1>In Lega m Akis broken back into PSV Einhoven's first

1716
01:48:11.039 --> 01:48:15.119
<v Speaker 1>team after at right back. Sources say Club America like

1717
01:48:15.159 --> 01:48:17.760
<v Speaker 1>his versatility to play both right back in central mid

1718
01:48:18.199 --> 01:48:21.680
<v Speaker 1>one senior m and T cap seventeen appearances for PSV

1719
01:48:22.079 --> 01:48:27.840
<v Speaker 1>five in the Champions League. Attacking midfielder. Ledesmas starred for

1720
01:48:27.920 --> 01:48:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the US at the U twenty World Cup, beating France

1721
01:48:29.960 --> 01:48:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in the round of sixteen, eliminated by Ecuador in the quarters.

1722
01:48:33.199 --> 01:48:35.520
<v Speaker 1>The Ecuadorian squad had eleven players who've gone on to

1723
01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:42.279
<v Speaker 1>make their senior debuts. Santos have bid for Josh Windas. Yes,

1724
01:48:42.479 --> 01:48:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that is true. Brazilian giants Santos have bid for Josh

1725
01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Windas from Sheffield Wednesday confirm the bid in an interview

1726
01:48:50.880 --> 01:48:56.079
<v Speaker 1>with Talk Sport. Santos, managed by Pedro Kaishna, who managed

1727
01:48:56.079 --> 01:48:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a wind Ass at Rangers, turns thirty one this week.

1728
01:49:00.720 --> 01:49:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Pierre's his new contract expires in the summer and he'll

1729
01:49:03.000 --> 01:49:07.359
<v Speaker 1>be a free agent again. Sheffield Wednesday, middle of the

1730
01:49:07.399 --> 01:49:10.000
<v Speaker 1>table right now, tenth but just three points outside of

1731
01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the promotion spots. So you have those pieces of news

1732
01:49:17.399 --> 01:49:24.239
<v Speaker 1>involving folks in folks out. What have you the other

1733
01:49:24.279 --> 01:49:29.960
<v Speaker 1>pieces of news involving folks by the way, just over

1734
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the over the over the weekend. No, not NBA. You

1735
01:49:39.279 --> 01:49:41.279
<v Speaker 1>hit a button and you're thinking something's going to happen

1736
01:49:41.319 --> 01:49:44.520
<v Speaker 1>or more compost by the way. Signed by transfer from

1737
01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:48.680
<v Speaker 1>LAFC to krus Asoul. The transfer fee estimated at five

1738
01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:53.439
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. We mentioned what's going on in Montreal. Michael

1739
01:49:53.880 --> 01:49:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Adedicat signed a one year deal includes twenty six, twenty

1740
01:49:58.760 --> 01:50:01.760
<v Speaker 1>seven and twenty eight eight with club options, so basically

1741
01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:05.199
<v Speaker 1>it's a four, but it looks like it's a one

1742
01:50:05.960 --> 01:50:11.600
<v Speaker 1>with three options. The forward out of Ohio State has

1743
01:50:11.680 --> 01:50:14.119
<v Speaker 1>signed his deal, so it's club options for twenty six,

1744
01:50:14.239 --> 01:50:18.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven and twenty eight. The cap cap hit as

1745
01:50:18.439 --> 01:50:23.920
<v Speaker 1>if yet undisclosed. Mattias Kokuro is going to join Atlas

1746
01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:28.039
<v Speaker 1>FC and the Gonzale pineda loan from Montreal to Atlas

1747
01:50:28.079 --> 01:50:31.680
<v Speaker 1>through the end of the twenty five season. Donovan Prisienne

1748
01:50:32.199 --> 01:50:34.119
<v Speaker 1>has signed a two year deal with New England which

1749
01:50:34.159 --> 01:50:38.239
<v Speaker 1>includes options for twenty seven and twenty eight. We'd mentioned

1750
01:50:39.359 --> 01:50:44.319
<v Speaker 1>the Mattaia Kimboni transfer from DC to Bournemouth. Bournemouth not

1751
01:50:44.520 --> 01:50:48.439
<v Speaker 1>done looking to pick up a left back for eight

1752
01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:52.439
<v Speaker 1>million for eight million pounds from South America on a

1753
01:50:52.479 --> 01:50:57.199
<v Speaker 1>three year deal. We mentioned Fabi and airbers Anis said

1754
01:50:57.239 --> 01:51:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he was transferred from Philly to sand Diego for one

1755
01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:04.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars in gam split across twenty five and

1756
01:51:04.319 --> 01:51:07.479
<v Speaker 1>twenty six plus another two hundred and fifty thousand conditional

1757
01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:11.359
<v Speaker 1>garberbucks with a sell on percentage and a trade percentage.

1758
01:51:12.279 --> 01:51:16.039
<v Speaker 1>So young talent goes from Philly to San Diego. As

1759
01:51:16.119 --> 01:51:19.520
<v Speaker 1>San Diego and Tyler Heaps continue to build their roster up.

1760
01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Tobias saw Quist transferred from North Cheland to Chicago, and

1761
01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:30.399
<v Speaker 1>we had mentioned Bradley Carnell to Philadelphia from All Caps

1762
01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:34.800
<v Speaker 1>esmer Byrick Terovitch signed by transfer from New England to

1763
01:51:34.840 --> 01:51:42.119
<v Speaker 1>PSV Eindhoven. Once again, we had mentioned that Byreck Terovitch

1764
01:51:42.319 --> 01:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>was a certifiable pain in that you know what when

1765
01:51:45.600 --> 01:51:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it came to his play in MLS Next Pro and

1766
01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a cup of coffee that he had in Major League Soccer.

1767
01:51:51.079 --> 01:51:55.000
<v Speaker 1>So big piece of business for New England and for

1768
01:51:55.239 --> 01:52:02.640
<v Speaker 1>New England to sign him and Fim this way right now,

1769
01:52:02.680 --> 01:52:07.039
<v Speaker 1>only eight senior roster players available for New England. New

1770
01:52:07.079 --> 01:52:11.439
<v Speaker 1>England will be one of the more famous, more fascinating

1771
01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:16.720
<v Speaker 1>roster bills the upcoming year. Eight senior players Boa, tang

1772
01:52:16.960 --> 01:52:20.000
<v Speaker 1>By Campana, chunk Aalai. We don't know how healthy it

1773
01:52:20.119 --> 01:52:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is to start the season Companha, Chunkalai and Heal the

1774
01:52:24.680 --> 01:52:30.920
<v Speaker 1>three dps. Ivacic Paneotu is a homegrown Matt Polster. Eight

1775
01:52:31.000 --> 01:52:37.039
<v Speaker 1>senior players, three supplementals Peyton Miller, Will San Santi Suarez.

1776
01:52:37.079 --> 01:52:41.319
<v Speaker 1>They're all guaranteed for twenty five non active roster slots.

1777
01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Noel Buck, Bryan Sebalos, Luis Diaz who was brought in

1778
01:52:45.119 --> 01:52:49.399
<v Speaker 1>on a free, Farrell Fafanna, Malcolm Fry, Luca Langoni, who

1779
01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:51.880
<v Speaker 1>they have a lot of expectations for coming up in

1780
01:52:52.039 --> 01:52:57.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty five. To Mario Macintosh Parisian, we mentioned Vrioni, Jackson,

1781
01:52:58.000 --> 01:53:02.960
<v Speaker 1>yule Al Hasan Yusef. Right now, you got four dps

1782
01:53:03.840 --> 01:53:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Kmpanha Chunkalai Heel and Rione Langoni's You're only you twenty two.

1783
01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:13.600
<v Speaker 1>But I will be intrigued right now you get twenty

1784
01:53:13.640 --> 01:53:18.119
<v Speaker 1>three players, twenty three players right now in New England?

1785
01:53:19.760 --> 01:53:22.840
<v Speaker 1>How is that gonna build out? I will be fascinated

1786
01:53:22.880 --> 01:53:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to see what it's gonna be in New England because

1787
01:53:25.720 --> 01:53:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of the players that have been moved to San Jose,

1788
01:53:28.239 --> 01:53:32.399
<v Speaker 1>all four of them. That Bruce Arena was like, yeah,

1789
01:53:32.399 --> 01:53:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll take them, sure enough he did. And then you

1790
01:53:38.079 --> 01:53:44.600
<v Speaker 1>sell byrek Terovich to ps Behindhoven. You got space, how

1791
01:53:44.600 --> 01:53:48.119
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna fill it? I am intrigued by the

1792
01:53:48.159 --> 01:53:52.079
<v Speaker 1>conversations of Kurdinolfo and Caleb Porter and what that looks

1793
01:53:52.159 --> 01:53:57.119
<v Speaker 1>like coming up in the upcoming year, right really in

1794
01:53:57.159 --> 01:54:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming month, to be perfectly honest, all right, So gossip,

1795
01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:03.520
<v Speaker 1>rumor and innuendo, What to watch, where to watch? How

1796
01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:07.439
<v Speaker 1>to watch it? Remember you do have Monday night football

1797
01:54:07.479 --> 01:54:10.840
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon, and I'm not talking about the one DOUBLEA

1798
01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:16.840
<v Speaker 1>championship in college football. You do have the juice boxes

1799
01:54:16.880 --> 01:54:21.199
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon. Liverpool are open to accepting an offer for

1800
01:54:21.239 --> 01:54:24.079
<v Speaker 1>anywhere from fifty to sixty million pounds for Darwin Nunez.

1801
01:54:25.000 --> 01:54:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Ac Milan are the latest club groom. We mentioned the

1802
01:54:27.800 --> 01:54:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Rashford deal. That's from the four letter paper. Take

1803
01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the information at your own. Peril west Ham drawing up

1804
01:54:33.680 --> 01:54:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a list of attacking targets for January, which includes Brighton,

1805
01:54:36.760 --> 01:54:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Evan Ferguson, Wolves, Wong he Chon and Middlesbrough's Emmanuel latelth

1806
01:54:43.279 --> 01:54:45.800
<v Speaker 1>matteos Kunya close to signing a new lucrative deal at

1807
01:54:45.840 --> 01:54:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Wolve's amid interest from Arsenal. There will be a writer

1808
01:54:50.039 --> 01:54:54.119
<v Speaker 1>in there if Wolves were to get relegated. Randall Kolamawane

1809
01:54:54.119 --> 01:54:57.039
<v Speaker 1>could leave PSG this month with ac Milan. You've a

1810
01:54:57.119 --> 01:55:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Byron Rbi Leipsig Villa and Spurs all interested the forward.

1811
01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:04.119
<v Speaker 1>That's once again from our buddy Ben Jacobs. Chelsea midfielder

1812
01:55:04.239 --> 01:55:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Cesarey Casaday has agreed to join Tarino, although the clubs

1813
01:55:07.239 --> 01:55:09.159
<v Speaker 1>remain a part of a fee. That's from John Luca

1814
01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Demarcio Galatassar I one hundred percent convinced that Victor Oceiman,

1815
01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:17.319
<v Speaker 1>who's on loan from Monopoly, will not leave in January.

1816
01:55:17.399 --> 01:55:19.960
<v Speaker 1>That's from Floria and Plettenberg and are friends at Sky Germany.

1817
01:55:21.680 --> 01:55:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Ac Milan have offered to take Donnie Almo on a

1818
01:55:23.960 --> 01:55:27.640
<v Speaker 1>six month loan as he's currently unavailable due to LaLiga

1819
01:55:27.720 --> 01:55:31.239
<v Speaker 1>registration restrictions put on Barsa. That's from Corierra della Seta

1820
01:55:31.800 --> 01:55:38.279
<v Speaker 1>via Sport. Remember, Barsa can't sign anybody. They can't even

1821
01:55:38.319 --> 01:55:41.800
<v Speaker 1>do the wimpy philosophy of I'd gladly sign you tuesday

1822
01:55:41.920 --> 01:55:46.880
<v Speaker 1>for a clearance today. No word yet on whether Barcelona

1823
01:55:47.039 --> 01:55:52.560
<v Speaker 1>wants to pursue the window and the desires of assigning

1824
01:55:52.640 --> 01:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>players to any further legal levels. I still think, and

1825
01:55:57.920 --> 01:56:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I have no basis in fact in any of this,

1826
01:56:01.960 --> 01:56:05.479
<v Speaker 1>that the Court of Arbitration for Sport will be the

1827
01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:11.039
<v Speaker 1>next step in this. I have no basis of any reporting,

1828
01:56:11.239 --> 01:56:15.760
<v Speaker 1>anything seen, anything one way or the other. But my

1829
01:56:16.000 --> 01:56:20.800
<v Speaker 1>gut tells me that if Barcelona still thinks that they

1830
01:56:20.840 --> 01:56:23.880
<v Speaker 1>should sign the man, that they got to find a

1831
01:56:23.920 --> 01:56:28.479
<v Speaker 1>way to do it. Therefore, the Court of Arbitration for

1832
01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Sport would be the next step. For me. The leagues

1833
01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:38.159
<v Speaker 1>like nope. Barcelona went back and they went like but

1834
01:56:38.159 --> 01:56:42.960
<v Speaker 1>but leagues like nope, Well we still want to sign

1835
01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:47.439
<v Speaker 1>it on you can't. So I think that if you

1836
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:52.279
<v Speaker 1>go through legal channels. For me, the next largest step

1837
01:56:52.520 --> 01:56:58.279
<v Speaker 1>is court of arbitration for sport. Barcelona can't even buy

1838
01:56:58.439 --> 01:57:02.119
<v Speaker 1>blanking groceries. I'm being somewhat facetious in this, but that's

1839
01:57:02.279 --> 01:57:03.720
<v Speaker 1>where things stand.

1840
01:57:03.840 --> 01:57:05.880
<v Speaker 2>They are so poorly.

1841
01:57:07.039 --> 01:57:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Financially sound right now, I what can you do? The answer,

1842
01:57:15.119 --> 01:57:18.279
<v Speaker 1>according to the eyes of Theliga is bupkiss and I

1843
01:57:18.279 --> 01:57:23.199
<v Speaker 1>think that's the official financial term. But you can't do nothing.

1844
01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:26.399
<v Speaker 1>You can't sign Danny Olmo. Well we want it, but

1845
01:57:26.479 --> 01:57:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't. But we want it, but you can't. Literally,

1846
01:57:30.039 --> 01:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the argument. This is like arguing of the six

1847
01:57:31.720 --> 01:57:36.439
<v Speaker 1>year old or a young child, pick your age. Well,

1848
01:57:36.479 --> 01:57:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I want to know you can't, but I want to

1849
01:57:38.239 --> 01:57:43.079
<v Speaker 1>know you can't, but I want no, you can't. And

1850
01:57:43.199 --> 01:57:46.239
<v Speaker 1>so that's where we are right now with Barcelona and

1851
01:57:46.279 --> 01:57:53.520
<v Speaker 1>then wanting to register players. You can't. You cannot with

1852
01:57:53.640 --> 01:57:56.920
<v Speaker 1>your current financial situation sign anyone. But we want it,

1853
01:57:56.960 --> 01:58:01.479
<v Speaker 1>but you can't. So I think that legal ramifications next step.

1854
01:58:01.760 --> 01:58:03.960
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna end up being court of arbitration for sport.

1855
01:58:04.039 --> 01:58:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, that's just me. Ola doesn't want to

1856
01:58:06.439 --> 01:58:09.640
<v Speaker 1>leave Barsa, who received some unofficial approaches about his availability,

1857
01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but not a formal offer that's from Marsa mentioned Josh

1858
01:58:12.960 --> 01:58:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Windass and also Swansea are among them. A number of

1859
01:58:15.359 --> 01:58:19.000
<v Speaker 1>European clubs angamu for twenty year old Saudi midfielder Abdul

1860
01:58:19.039 --> 01:58:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Malik al Jabear who plays for Zealjesnakar in the Bosnian

1861
01:58:26.079 --> 01:58:29.159
<v Speaker 1>Premier League. So that's your that's your gossip rumor in

1862
01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:33.960
<v Speaker 1>innuendo for the day. Now what to watch, where to

1863
01:58:33.960 --> 01:58:36.039
<v Speaker 1>watch it, how to watch it? We know about the

1864
01:58:36.159 --> 01:58:40.680
<v Speaker 1>one the one game Monday night football. Ac Milan and

1865
01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:43.039
<v Speaker 1>inter Milan meet in the super Coopa Italiana, but that's

1866
01:58:43.079 --> 01:58:47.479
<v Speaker 1>in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi King Cup is going on

1867
01:58:47.640 --> 01:58:50.319
<v Speaker 1>right now and it is on FS two for those

1868
01:58:50.359 --> 01:58:52.319
<v Speaker 1>of you that have FS two. Second half of Al

1869
01:58:52.359 --> 01:58:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Shabab and Al Faja Wolves in Nottingham Forest coming up

1870
01:58:56.239 --> 01:59:00.680
<v Speaker 1>at three o'clock on USA and simul cast appropriate on

1871
01:59:00.960 --> 01:59:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Universo and nbcsports dot Com. Uh Fox Deportes has double

1872
01:59:07.039 --> 01:59:10.840
<v Speaker 1>headed Liga Mxfeminial kicking back in at eight and ten

1873
01:59:10.960 --> 01:59:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Juarez and Puebla Tigris and Tijuana. ESPN Plus has the

1874
01:59:15.159 --> 01:59:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Copa del Rey with Benera and Real Madrid at one

1875
01:59:17.600 --> 01:59:21.319
<v Speaker 1>o'clock Golosso Network, by the way, and Paramount Plus have

1876
01:59:21.399 --> 01:59:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the Italian SUPERCPA final and the Italian SUPERCUPA finals in

1877
01:59:24.800 --> 01:59:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia, not in Italy and a QPR and Newton.

1878
01:59:28.199 --> 01:59:30.399
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Monday Night football in the English Championship

1879
01:59:30.399 --> 01:59:35.239
<v Speaker 1>that's on Paramount Plus at three o'clock getting into the

1880
01:59:35.399 --> 01:59:41.479
<v Speaker 1>juice boxes of the day for Monday Night football. By

1881
01:59:41.520 --> 01:59:44.479
<v Speaker 1>the way, and since it's been a while, apparently I

1882
01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:48.079
<v Speaker 1>have to expand all kinds of windows. But right now

1883
01:59:49.119 --> 01:59:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Wolves at home at the Malonu they are a big dog.

1884
01:59:52.640 --> 01:59:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Basically they are a double dog to Nottingham Forest. Nottingham

1885
01:59:56.399 --> 01:59:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Forest the plus one to twenty one at the Molonue

1886
01:59:58.359 --> 02:00:01.199
<v Speaker 1>taking on Wolves who are plus two four two. Your

1887
02:00:01.279 --> 02:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>draw is a plus two twenty three. You have FA

1888
02:00:05.000 --> 02:00:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Cup this weekend and then midweek schedule picks up again

1889
02:00:11.640 --> 02:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Premier League next Tuesday for four matches, and

1890
02:00:19.000 --> 02:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>then it's four matches on Wednesday, two matches on Thursday,

1891
02:00:23.640 --> 02:00:26.119
<v Speaker 1>and then half of the schedule picks back up Saturday

1892
02:00:26.159 --> 02:00:29.479
<v Speaker 1>and Sunday and Monday Night football. So you've got FA

1893
02:00:29.520 --> 02:00:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Cup this weekend, but then you don't have to wait

1894
02:00:33.079 --> 02:00:35.319
<v Speaker 1>too long for the Premier League because Premier League kicks

1895
02:00:35.359 --> 02:00:38.439
<v Speaker 1>back in on Tuesday, so there's that standings by the way.

1896
02:00:38.840 --> 02:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>After the bananas match that happened yesterday involving Liverpool and

1897
02:00:43.239 --> 02:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Manchester United, which was crazy. Harry McGuire had a chance

1898
02:00:46.079 --> 02:00:48.039
<v Speaker 1>for a game winner late and the screen that you

1899
02:00:48.079 --> 02:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>heard was Drew Dickinson because of the lack of a finish,

1900
02:00:50.319 --> 02:00:52.439
<v Speaker 1>But the ball was kind of served a little high

1901
02:00:52.479 --> 02:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and hit on a bit of a hop and it

1902
02:00:53.920 --> 02:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>went halfway up the shin for McGuire for the game winner.

1903
02:00:58.640 --> 02:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Liverpool right now still as a match in hand on

1904
02:01:01.159 --> 02:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Arsenal six points clear. They've only lost once in their

1905
02:01:04.159 --> 02:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>first nineteen halfway point of the season fourteen to four

1906
02:01:06.319 --> 02:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and one. Arsenal at forty points twenty matches played, by

1907
02:01:11.600 --> 02:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the way, forrest if they win there at forty points,

1908
02:01:15.800 --> 02:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the only reason that they would be behind Arsenal's goal difference.

1909
02:01:19.680 --> 02:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea thirty six points, twenty matches played, Newcastle at thirty

1910
02:01:24.319 --> 02:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>five they've won five in a row. Manchester City unbeaten

1911
02:01:28.119 --> 02:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>in their last three. They're at thirty four points. Just

1912
02:01:30.039 --> 02:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>think of what would happen if those twelve points were

1913
02:01:31.880 --> 02:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>left on the table. That are left on the table

1914
02:01:34.680 --> 02:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>would not be You probably have Manchester City at tight

1915
02:01:38.840 --> 02:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>number two to Liverpool after twenty matches twelve points left

1916
02:01:42.560 --> 02:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>on the table. Born within seventh at thirty three points,

1917
02:01:45.800 --> 02:01:48.039
<v Speaker 1>unbeaten in their last five, they've unbeaten in eight by

1918
02:01:48.079 --> 02:01:52.079
<v Speaker 1>the way Under and dony Errola Villas at thirty two,

1919
02:01:52.640 --> 02:01:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Fulham's at thirty, Brighton's at twenty eight. They've drawn their

1920
02:01:55.399 --> 02:02:00.199
<v Speaker 1>last four. Brentford at twenty seven points. They've hit each

1921
02:02:00.239 --> 02:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>column once in their last three, Spurs twelfth at twenty four.

1922
02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>They've lost three of four. Manchester United had their three

1923
02:02:07.600 --> 02:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>game losing streak snapped with the draw with Liverpool. They're

1924
02:02:10.800 --> 02:02:13.039
<v Speaker 1>at twenty three points, ahead of west Ham on goal difference.

1925
02:02:13.720 --> 02:02:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Crystal Palace twenty one points, unbeaten in their last three,

1926
02:02:16.399 --> 02:02:21.119
<v Speaker 1>they're unbeaten in four of five. Evertonce seventeen points. They've

1927
02:02:21.159 --> 02:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>lost two in a row, and apparently the Friedkin group

1928
02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:27.479
<v Speaker 1>are staring at Sean dysh and evaluating whether or not

1929
02:02:27.600 --> 02:02:31.239
<v Speaker 1>they're going to keep him around. Wolves at sixteen points

1930
02:02:31.720 --> 02:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>and they are ahead of Ipswich on goal difference. With

1931
02:02:37.079 --> 02:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a match in hand. Ipswich had a chance to win

1932
02:02:41.399 --> 02:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>against Fulham twice, couldn't hang on end up with a point,

1933
02:02:46.079 --> 02:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>so they've hit each column once in their last three.

1934
02:02:50.039 --> 02:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>So they are at sixteen points behind Wolves on goal difference,

1935
02:02:53.039 --> 02:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>your relegation zone right now, Ipswich at sixteen points, Lester

1936
02:02:57.000 --> 02:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>at fourteen. They've lost five in a row, Southampton won

1937
02:03:00.439 --> 02:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>only one once. They've only won once in their first

1938
02:03:03.880 --> 02:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty one three and sixteen two point two goals allowed

1939
02:03:10.560 --> 02:03:16.159
<v Speaker 1>per match and they average point six. It's not a

1940
02:03:16.199 --> 02:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>good ratio. They've lost three in a row, four or

1941
02:03:19.079 --> 02:03:22.439
<v Speaker 1>five one point in their last five matches. So that's

1942
02:03:22.439 --> 02:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>where things stand. So once again, three o'clock, you've got

1943
02:03:25.760 --> 02:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>your matchup on Monday night football involving Wolves and Forest

1944
02:03:31.000 --> 02:03:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Forest climbing the standings trying to get into European football.

1945
02:03:34.479 --> 02:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't quite think that Evangelinas Marinacus really gives an

1946
02:03:37.680 --> 02:03:46.159
<v Speaker 1>ish about what specifically could could happen to him in

1947
02:03:46.319 --> 02:03:49.399
<v Speaker 1>PSR down the line. I don't quite think that he

1948
02:03:49.520 --> 02:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>really cares. By the way, Colorado Springs switchback, signing Anthony

1949
02:03:53.800 --> 02:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Fontana for the twenty five season, transaction pending league and

1950
02:03:58.600 --> 02:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Federation approval, having most recently competed for pec Zula in

1951
02:04:02.760 --> 02:04:05.159
<v Speaker 1>the air divi Zy ten appearances three hundred and fifty

1952
02:04:05.159 --> 02:04:11.399
<v Speaker 1>minutes last year. So uh, Tom Dike out now, Sean

1953
02:04:11.479 --> 02:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Dish out. Now, you're probably not the only one that

1954
02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:17.479
<v Speaker 1>thinks that. So we'll keep an eye on the Freakin

1955
02:04:17.520 --> 02:04:19.399
<v Speaker 1>group and keep an eye on Sean Dish and see

1956
02:04:19.399 --> 02:04:22.199

1957
02:04:22.239 --> 02:04:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the thoughts that we didn't get into today will get

1958
02:04:24.520 --> 02:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>into tomorrow, and we'll see what's going on around the
