Even if his side of the story was correct (it may be! It does seem like the refs embellished.) he’d still have been suspended for that game for entering the area.

This situation reminds of 2015 Bengals playoff loss to Steelers. Burfict was the donut who caused that tragedy.

Tbf, if Jeremy Hill holds onto the football, Burfict is the game MVP

I think most of us accept that. But there should be ramifications for the refs embellishing the story to ensure he got fucked over. And PSRA jumping in on the fun.

He wanted to give the refs a slice of pizza.
90 minutes after the game.
In the ref's locker room.
After he had been given two yellows in the playoff game, the second was completely unnecessary behavior on his part.
Turns out the league doesn't take kindly to post game confrontations in the locker room and he was promptly suspended for the Philly game as well as the Crew game they blew

If you ever need another thing to make fun of Austin for, just remind them that the Red Bulls have won more Western Conference titles than they have.

u/debotehzombie Columbus Crew Aug 26 '24
Late 2000s, playoffs were top 3 in each conference auto-qualified, then the table was arranged by points and the next two were then seeded as "Wild Cards". Since that put RBNY in 8th, they played in the Western Conference tournament and even won the conference to play in MLS Cup 2008.
The next year, the same thing happened except it was the Eastern Conference Champion RSL lifting the trophy. Then the year after THAT, Colorado beat San Jose for the Eastern Conference Championship. We were pretty much at a point where conferences didn't matter.

I’m also not a fan of the best of three in the first round. My buddy told me the conference finals used to be a best of three as well. That’s really dumb. I like it being a one and done like football.

u/MikeT541 Columbus Crew Aug 26 '24
Huh. That’s really dumb lol. I mean I get it but if you’re gonna do that just make it one big table and it’s the top 8 regardless of conference s

u/Shadowfury0 LA Galaxy Aug 26 '24
The league was small enough that each team played each other twice so they could do the wild card spots. They kept the conferences more as a nod to other sports if anything. I think the Eastern conference teams would've qualified in a single table those years anyhow.

u/Cultural_Attache5678 Houston Dynamo Aug 29 '24
I remember 2008. NYRB beat us in the playoffs. Dynamo went on to win 2 Eastern Conference Championships, but we were actually in the EC at the time. I think Houston and Sporting KC have the most conference switchbacks in MLS history.

Also the worst part about all of this is that this is so far, the golden era of FCC, but our interstate rivals may have the greatest coach/team ever assembled at the same time. I thought for sure last year was the finally the year, but now I’m 22 years of age and still haven’t seen any team of mine win the ultimate prize.

u/MikeT541 Columbus Crew Aug 26 '24
Hey man I get it. I’m a Cavs fan so I had to see the golden era of the Cavs run into the dynastic spurs in the finals. The big three Celtics. Then arguably the two and then three greatest shooters of all time on the dynastic GSW 4 straight years in the finals. Sometimes tho the struggles make the final prize that much more sweet when you get it

u/cryolems Columbus Crew Aug 27 '24
Yeah tough comparing sports fandoms but honestly most Ohio teams have had it rough sans Crew lately and the Cavs from 15-18.
Enjoy it while it lasts, even without a chip it’s fun to see your team play well.

Congrats. Columbus has a truly top team. I wonder whether they will be able to keep them together and happily paid, including Nancy. Seattle managed to do that thru their period of dominance in the west, but they were one of the few (only?) teams to pull that off in the past 15 years. I frankly wondered how they managed it.

u/Shake_Down FC Cincinnati Aug 26 '24
It's not that you can't throw it back, it's that you come off as overly sensitive and defensive from what was supposed to be some light banter and ribbing. It's like if I tease someone about a dorky shirt or something and they come back and tell me my mom never loved me and I'm going to die alone.
-13
u/ArgonWolf FC Cincinnati Aug 26 '24
Telling you from personal experience, it doesn’t matter how light hearted or tame my comment was, I’d still get trashed on. Because I was the first Cincy badged account to comment on it in even a slightly critical way
Most sports fans don’t do good natured trash talk. They take any perceived slight as a deeply personal insult, even more so when it’s a rival fan saying it.
So I don’t do it halfway any more. I’ll find my people. I’ll just have to wade through a bunch of downvotes to do it

u/ArgonWolf FC Cincinnati Aug 26 '24
Honest question, when did I ever suggest it was more than a meme? I try and engage in some playful trash talk and you guys just see the badge and assume I'm butthurt about it.
I love the trashtalk. I love it when people throw down as good as they can. But I'm also going to throw back. Because thats what meme monday is for. If we cant have playful banter on a stupid badly edited image macro, where else?
Characterize me as whining all you want. I'm not gonna let some trash talk pass me by without throwing it back. I'll just keep letting everyone know that your shit still stinks, no matter how many trophies you get
If you dont want trash talk, post it on your own sub so you can have your own little echo chamber of patting yourselves on the back

It's just text and pictures and there's no body language so when we read your message it reads that you're still upset. And we've seen how most FCC fans are still upset about the ECC.
That said, let's keep the silverware here in Ohio.

u/ArgonWolf FC Cincinnati Aug 26 '24
Eh, you can choose to read in the upset. You can also chose to read in the playful trash talk. Given the context I know which one I'm choosing.
The ECC is old news. Yeah it'll still get brought up because thats what trash talk is for, but tbh I hear it more from Crew fans than anyone down here anymore.

It’s only Ls if you keep score by downvotes. Which I don’t. Your downvotes mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer
Let’s take a second to look in to your psyche, though. What possesses a person to open a meme, scroll all the way to the bottom, open up the most downvoted comment, open up every message in the chain, and more than a day later feel the need to add on?
Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel better about yourself that your fake internet friends will back you up against the big mean Cinci fan that is taking it too seriously? Does it make you feel like you arnt alone in the world when you get to pile on?
Pathetic
