@shawncbrown @SPFLWatch Inciting murder of a president is a little different from being locked up for saying you don’t want your country overrun with refugees the country can’t afford.
Enjoy circling the drain.

@cb050562 @SPFLWatch You have more of your population in prison than we do in the UK, and yeah, we’re mostly quite happy that people saying that our elected official should be killed are out in prison.
Try tweeting that people should riot on the white house and kill Donald and see how that goes.

@rbpittsteel @TaraBull Why is it so hard for people to understand that a media reporter covering a 32 team sports league has to demonstrate objectivity towards all 32 teams, while a coach of one of those teams doesn’t have that obligation?
Arguing this is bias against women is a brain dead reaction.

She's facing far more vitriol than Vrabel is. Female reporters deal with so much more bs than male ones. She made a poor decision even if nothing was going on between them. But I guess it is near impossible for two married people, one male, one female, to be just friends in the eyes of others.

@Laurie0801 Because US healthcare would get dramatically worse? The majority of Americans have private insurance through their job which pays higher premiums to doctors/hospitals that subsidize the people on govt healthcare now.
Everybody on govt healthcare would be free but unavailable.

@Elliott_Eldrich @Simon_Ingari You are attaching your biases to what is basic human nature.
Even in a romantic relationship when a person realizes they are totally dependent on another, they will fight to keep the status quo for their security then start changing things to never be that dependent again.

@Simon_Ingari The ONLY way to look at a boss is DOWN. They are MOTHERFUCKERS who will backstab and betray you at the drop of a hat. Corporate America is the JUNGLE, EVERYONE involved is a CANNIBAL RAPIST, and they all need to be treated as the VILE VERMIN they ALL ARE. FUCK THEM ALL!

Employee: Here is my two weeks’ resignation notice.
HR Manager: You didn’t tell me you were planning to leave.
Employee: Yes, I wanted to wait until the right time.
HR Manager: The right time?
Employee: I’m joining a new company with a better offer.
HR Manager: How much are they offering you?
Employee: It’s 170,000—a solid jump from my current 100,000.
HR Manager: We can give you a no-brainer offer—190,000.
Employee: In that case, I’ll stay and accept your offer.
HR Manager: Thank you. You’re one of our top performers, and we can’t afford to lose you.
Employee: I knew I could count on you.

@GuillaumeVares @salingergregor There will be too much traffic even with all of the roads opened.
To be close to NYC, they built this stadium in a place that is very congested even when events aren’t happening.
English
@salingergregor Would it be possible to close some roads around the stadium on match days to allow for pedestrian traffic / shuttle buses?
English
if they keep this bs up there will be 50k intl fans each game day who just take a regular train to Rutherford and WALK the 1h to the MetLife Stadium. I know walking is an unfamiliar concept for most Americans, but it is a thing in the rest of the world.
The New York Times@nytimes
From @TheAthleticFC: New Jersey Transit confirmed on Friday that World Cup match goers will be charged $150 for a return rail trip from New York's Penn Station to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey this summer. Tickets are ordinarily priced at $12.90. nyti.ms/4sHcLzR

@NYRChip23 The real question is why Drury accepted Morrow back in the Miller trade from a CAR organization with a lot of options.
We didn’t learn anything about Morrow since he has been here that wasn’t said when he was still in the CAR organization.
English
Lots of freaking out over these quotes but they’re fairly innocuous.
In a world where Trocheck gets traded they’re going to need a 4C and I assume they’ll want that to be someone like Carrick who can play on the PK. (Boone Jenner?)
As for D, Morrow does if he learns to play D.

@BlueshirtObs There is no chance Rempe wins a spot based on hockey play and his best hope is that we have a coach and GM who appear to not know what year it is.

Sucks he didn’t get more of a chance this season but injuries happen. I look forward to seeing him fight for a spot in camp/preseason. I think he can win a spot but it’s not a sure thing. He undoubtedly will be training his ass off in the offseason! #NYR

@olivierlaval27 People do NOT pay these kinds of prices for NFL games or concerts in the US.
Those events have expensive tickets for the best seats plus cheaper options. The worst seats for the WC are still expensive.

Et Infantino ajoute qu'aux USA, on paie les mêmes prix pour un match de NFL ou un concert sans que personne ne se plaigne.
Ce type incarne à l'état chimiquement pur les dérives du foot moderne.

Are World Cup tickets too expensive? "The main, and so far the only, revenue-generating event for FIFA is the World Cup," Gianni Infantino tells @maxwelltani. "We generate money in one month — the 47 other months until the next World Cup, we spend that money."

UNPOPULAR OBSERVATION:

English
@salingergregor It helps with traffic as tailgaters get to the stadium earlier than people just showing for the game.
It is a very welcoming, social activity. Two tailgates of 50 people supporting different teams won’t start trouble even if they are right next to each other.
English
has anyone told Americans tailgating is not a thing anywhere else? What is even the nice thing about having a bbq and booze in a parking lot??
NYGiantsRush@NYGiantsRush
All you suckers that love FIFA, it will cost NJ Transit $48 million dollars transporting riders to the matches….AND there is no tailgating. The clueless governor is acting like this wasn’t signed in 2018 and adjusted in 2023. All other host cities are charging fan normal rates. Sherrill and NJ Transit are thinking about charging $100 (normally $12.90) and there is no tailgating. Save your money. Stream it. MetLife sucks anyway…you’re not missing anything. Don’t continue to put up with this crap from her. Philly isn’t charging any additional fees to travel.

@FPLfrasier In most US sports video review actually works better, because the review staff are specific to that job (they aren’t referees).
They can make judgements w/o thinking about the referee they are judging switching roles with them next week.
English
I feel very strongly about this topic. These VAR officials are just not trained to use video technology.
Scrap VAR for the time being if the users are not good enough.
FPL Frasier@FPLfrasier
No consistency and professionalism. This is a sports filled with money and nobody is working to make VAR professionals and consistent. Let me explain 1. Consistency — The reasoning and explanation given for Amad and Maguire incidents completely different. For Amad, the reasoning was the foul was on upper body and there wasn’t enough pull for Amad to fall “like that”. For Evanilson, the argument was that Maguire didn’t attempt to play the ball so that was a foul. How do you expect consistency if the reasonings aren’t consistent. If the same rules were applied (challenging for the ball or upper body contact) then either both of them were penalties or both of them were non fouls. How are we into 5th/6th year of VAR and VAR officials just working on their vibes? There is not a checklist for them to follow. Watch other sports and you would understand what I mean. 2. Professionalism — When I hear VAR officials, it doesn’t sound like professionals on their job, rather it’s friends talking. At times they are shouting over one another. In this video, the linesman saying “mate”. In other sports, video officials will sound boring but they will act professionally. They will be calm and try to objectively assess the situation. They won’t make it feel like chaotic situation. Scrap VAR unless you can fix these issues. These officials are just not trained for these.

@austinobrien323 @NYRLouie It would be a horrendous move to not even try to trade Trocheck given the limited UFA options teams have this summer.
English
No one knows anything yet but if I was to put a wager on it today, I say he isn’t traded this summer
My prediction would be that Drury brings him into the season and goes from there, if they stink again, he’ll be moved at next deadline
Just my prediction!
#NYR
Vince Z. Mercogliano@vzmercogliano
Trocheck knows being traded remains a real possibility. Does he have a preference about staying or going? “I don’t know what’s going to happen… I’ll talk to my family about it. Try to see where we’re heading as a team… You want to see the team heading in a direction where we’re going to be working to contend.” #NYR
English
@NYRLouie There will be a list of teams, that only has DET on it now, that will have pressure this summer to make a big move.
CAR, MIN, or others could get themselves on that list falling short in the playoffs.
It would be malpractice for Drury to not check the market again this summer.
English
@Real1_balogun For the sports where video review works well, it is usually done in a central location.
The big difference, and why VAR sucks, is that other sports have separate video staff who are not connected to the on field referees.
It is idiocy to have the referees judging each other.
English
Until a few minutes ago, I didn't know the Premier League VAR operated from a central location.
I'd always thought they operate from every stadium.
The Premier League’s VAR operates from Stockley Park, a business estate in west London. The VAR hub contains a classroom, a gym, canteen and recovery zone.
For every game, there's a primary VAR, an assistant VAR and a replay operator and they all connect to the referee on the pitch.
Infrastructure at its best.

@GregSiegel4 @vzmercogliano Nothing we know about Morrow now wasn’t said about him when he was still on Carolina.
Why on earth did Drury accept him as the prospect to come back in the Miller trade?
English
@vzmercogliano They have another puck moving D-man in Scott Morrow, but clearly his defensive deficiencies are holding him back in the eyes of Sully/Drury
English
I followed up by asking about the top 6 and scoring issues:
“I do think we have the makings of guys that that can finish and produce offense for us. Obviously, when you look at our overall year, that was one of our challenges. I think we made strides on the other side of the puck, in particular in the defensive zone. Our coaches were encouraged with the structure and that we set out to put in place, and the buy in that we got from the players. So from that standpoint, I thought we were harder to play against, but I do think the offensive side is something that that we have to look to improve on, and that can happen number different ways.”
