LOL at tonight being their “sustainability” match and the concession deal is for single use plastic water bottles.
Sigh. Such a broken/misused concept.
Are you there already or just reading that somewhere?
Nah, I saw it on socials. Probably a careless mistake, but it shows how the club is misfiring at every level. Should have stuck with the half-off nuts.
Have some perspective. The club was more sustainable in the past, it shouldn’t matter that we’re wasting plastic now.
As a sustainability professional this kills me…but damn funny and emblematic of this season.
Everything to play for in tonight’s Wooden Spoon 6pointer!
Why, in all the gods’ names, is PV starting Roger again? What could Hernandez have possibly done, to not have a starting spot?
Roger is going to play until he has to wheel himself around the pitch. And Vermes will make you like it.
Who knows, but Roger sure hasnt been too great so far
Montreal’s Offor looks like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets.
Sorry, Rea, not Offor.
Plenty of good seats available. It seems.
Much easier & cheaper to get a nice wooden spoon from Pryde’s in Westport
I like Davis on the right so far.
So Thommy gets taken down from behind. But he committed the foul.
Fascinating.
Roger, what the holy hell was that?
Hot garbage.
We’re combining well tonight. Playing some beautiful attacking football. The press has been good.
Defense is very nervy once the press gets broken.
Voloder got so lucky
Twice in a row Salloi had failed to make the run to the center. Could’ve had a goal either time.
Can someone make a run into the box? Are we actively coaching players not to fill the center of the box?
I think this has been coached out of them.
Talk about an awful sequence from the ref….
Rosero trying to be the 3rd straight SKC defender red-carded.
Suck a joke. How was the middle that open?!
Voloder as always. Dude is straight ass
Well. That’s a goal we’ve seen a dozen times this year.
30 minutes in, looks like the same old team. Create some forward pressure, can’t do anything with it. Give up some dangerous breaks the other way.
And Montreal scores just as I was writing that last sentence.
🤷🏼♀️
Hideous … and here I was thinking we could get a 0-0 draw
Username checks out. SKC are chum for the rest of the league this year. Even Montreal, the nurse shark of MLS teams, can smell this blood in the water.
I can’t believe that didn’t even go to VAR. That was 100% offside, clear and obvious.
Otherwise same thing we’ve seen game in game out for 5 years now, dominate possession at home around the box with nothing to show for it and then just gashed like a little league time on the counter.
Lol voloder and Rosero just out having a nice jog about the park. Who needs to keep a line? Why be organized?
This team can’t score. It’s an embarrassment. Vermes out.
So much of the same tonight— slow transition play, poor decision-making, and lack of runs. Just watching this, it seems like this is a practice session or something. I see almost no urgency. We’re just not playing like a team that’s trying to win.
Broadcast shows PV sitting down briefly before popping back up to pace again. Guess the seat felt too hot for comfort.
Nah, he’s just pouty and then stands up so he can pace around in anger instead of thinking “Ok, what can I change up?”
It’s just so bad on the back line. We can’t even clear the ball up the field without giving it away.
Slow, lackadaisical, uninspired, lazy, lethargic, maybe rebellious—choose your adjective.
Subcromulent.
This sucks
Wow. Just…wow.
Hey. We’re consistent. We don’t attack balls in our defensive box either.
Getting run off the pitch by the second worst team in the league. Vermes out.
Vermes out.
The Cauldron was chanting it!
Podcasts should be good this week.
Talk about a shit show at the fuck factory.
Excellent succession reference. Since the gifs here aren’t as easy as TBT maybe this is your new schtick?
Well, I am reaching my breaking point. I just wonder if the sad I’d be without Sporting and KCSJ is less than the sad I get from being with them.
Lol. The ball just rolling at a snail’s pace in front of the KC goal and no one reacts to clear it. It’s time to dismantle the entire organization. There are a lot of individual players I like on the roster, but the system is completely broken.
Thank god I got Apple MLS free through TMobile so I’m not actually spending money to watch this.
I’m done for tonight. I gave them yet another chance. I really, truly, didn’t think it’d be this bad. Time to watch the rest of the league and/or NHL playoffs.
At least Melia is pissed. Everyone else is just too defeated to give a shit any more.
I only got on so I could say, Vermes out. Now back to not having a terrible night because the game is not on in my house.
How the fuck do they not know where the ball is going to go when the attacker is literally almost out of bounds one the side? Hint it’s going to go to the middle or behind the back post! Cover it! Davis was covering one guy and the one that scored was wide open.
Cauldron chanting “vermes out”
Not sure what the tipping point is for upper management, but it is hard not to see this as the final nail in the coffin for Vermes. They are getting played off the pitch by the second-worst team in the MLS, who is missing their leading scorer. It doesn’t get any more rock bottom than that.
Oh, there are plenty lower and rockier levels that SKC can go explore. They won’t even be the first team to do so.
Coffin? Management doesn’t even think there’s a corpse. This team loves its zombies, remember?
At the game, vermes out chants from the cauldron, a good 50%.
My fantasy is that ownership fires Vermes, Voloder and Rosero at halftime.
The most entertaining thing about watching SKC on AppleTV is the captions. “Booze emanating from the stands ” instead of “Boos eminating from the stands.” “SK seaside” instead of “SKC side.” “Espionage” for “Espinoza.” “Shall we” for “Salloi.”
Try it. It may make the second half more palatable for you.
Rosero should be salvaged.
Yeah, I think Rosero can be a solid player. It’s impossible to show up half way into this disaster and make any real difference, especially with a constantly rotating cast of garbage as your CB partner.
We may have a different definition if the word “salvaged?” His most positive feature at this point, other than not getting a red card, is that he is not the worst centerback on the squad. But that bar is very low.
He’s been on the team for like 4 games and has played with a different, worthless second CB every game. Of all the worthless players on this roster, why hate him so much?
I don’t think he wants to be here tbh. Looking like Mauri half the time.
Yeah, no, I’m nowhere near #Roseroout. He’s got plenty of promise. Lots of dead wood to cull before you get to him.
Physically, Rosero is an imposing player. But his decision-making, rash challenges and extremely poor positional discipline outweigh the positives for me.

LOLLL! See? There is at least something redeeming about watching this train wreck.
Things to outlaw:
Crosses
Aging players
Waiting to shoot
“Nothing changes tactically for SKC.” Oh thank god for that.
Well, my halftime fantasy was dashed. So my second half fantasy is that we lose 5-nil. Maybe then Vermes will finally be out.
Pulido doing his best Shelton impresskon. A well done backheel flick could have have put that in
All of our forwards are soooo lacking on confidence right now
Castellanos in for Voloder at the half. That’ll fix our putrid attack.
Nice to see Pulido not attempt a shot and then hurt himself while committing a terrible foul.
i think he was faking the injury so he wouldn’t get a card lol
He’s so fragile I’m not sure even he can tell if he’s faking or not.
For being down 2-0, at home, against one of the other wooden spoon contenders, we looks pretty freakin relaxed and casual about everything. Sure hope this is some form of a protest towards Vermes from the players
They’ve given up on him.
I sure hope so
JFR doesn’t have any idea what went wrong or how to fix it? Here’s an idea: player revolt.
Players Only meeting, discuss how they’ll line up, how they’ll attack the opponent, commit to ignoring Vermes. Results won’t be any worse.
Not realistic, I know –
#VermesOut
#BlissOut
#WeDeserveBetter
Why the hell is Espinoza still on the field? He should have been off the roster 3+ years ago but my god is his slow ass picking up yellow cards the whole second half all this franchise can do now?
Lol subbing Thommy and leaving Roger is peak Vermes.
He’ll pick up a second yellow so he can get some rest before long.
Anything else would have surprised me tbh
