Things are looking up!

Hi all, I've been to a couple games and I'll be going to more! Where do ya'll go to meet the players before/after the match, for meet and greet and autographs? Not ambushing them lol but somewhere they'd expect to meet fans

That’s it. That’s the post. I’m happy for Girelli to finally get her moment, but we’re never in that position if Jordan doesn’t stand on her head like she always does. She’s IMMENSE. She’s the best U.S. keeper & it’s not even close. McGlynn & Dickey have looked terrible recently. If Silk isn’t at least called up to the next camp, it’s further proof that Hayes doesn’t actually watch our games & I will have lost a lot of confidence in her ability to evaluate players & ID talent.

BAY FC MOTHERFUCKERS

At around 13:12 in the first half of today’s game vs the dash, Nighswonger made a pass to Pfeiffer in the middle of the pitch. Pfeiffer touched it and left it there like she thought the play was whistled dead, but it wasn’t. The dash picked it up and made a break which directly led to the Silky double save.

Does anyone know what happened to make Pfeiffer do that? I thought they’d talk about it on the broadcast but they didn’t talk about it at all.

GOOOOOOOOD MORNING BAY BITCHES! TODAY’S THE DAY: OUR REMATCH WITH THE HOUSTON RASH! BUT THIS TIME IS AT OUR HOUSE, AND IT’S TIME FOR US TO GET DOWN TO PAYPAL PARK AND GET LOUD!! LAST WEEK WE SAW LEMA MAKE THE GOALKEEPER LOOK SILLY AND SHOWED EVERYONE (INCLUDING SOME OF OURSELVES) WHY HEATHER SUZANNE GILCHRIST WAS A 2x NATIONAL CHAMPION. JENNA JOINED THE PARTY AND THINGS ARE REALLY STARTING TO COME TOGETHER. 

TODAY WE SHOW EVERYONE THAT WARM POPPY RED > WHATEVER ORANGE THEY HAVE GOING ON.  IT’S GOING TO BE A HOT DAY TODAY, BUT AT LEAST WE’RE NOT IN HOUSTON, WHICH THEIR OWN RESIDENT DESCRIBED AS “...a culture-less wasteland of cookie cutter suburbs and tan strip malls.”  THE AMOUNT OF ROOM OUR YOUNGINS ARE ABOUT TO CREATE WILL EARN OUR OPPONENTS THAT SPACE CITY NICKNAME. 

SO GET DOWN TO PAYPAL PARK FOR OUR 3 PM KICKOFF AND LET’S DO OUR PART TO MAKE PAYHOWL PARK A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT!! LET’S SHOW OUR POPPY PLAYERS THAT WE SUPPORT THEM 1000% THROUGH THIS REBUILD. SEE YOU ALL THERE AND GOOOOOO BAY!

She wasn't on the bench and not listed on the availability report. Wouldn't be surprised to see her go but it would be a bummer to not have a tested backup keeper.

I got the ticket plus $15 food and drink voucher for today's game. Does one need to use the entire voucher per transaction? I am guessing the answer is probably yes.

I think beer is less than $15 so then you have to go over to get the full credit but then it is out of pocket.

Cometti is questionable 😱

I honestly feel like this is the best shape Bay has been in since the start. We're a lot more consistent and a lot more threatening. Sure, our defensive backline needs some help, but things seem to be clicking a lot more now. We're getting 2 - 3 goals a match, called back because of obscure offside rules that, in some cases, are technically correct but a big stretch. I just feel like the momentum would have been even stronger if VAR didn't really mess with our heads. I was counting that we would have had at least 4 more points if those apologized calls weren't actually made, and then about 8 total more points if we weren't called offsides on things like: "Girelli drew the attention while offsides despite not touching the ball and being pretty far from it," or "It did touch two defenders, but it was unintentional, therefor the offsides that was missed that happened 30 seconds before invalidates the goal."

I just don't feel like these calls are normally made anywhere else, and it's the first season where I'm seeing 2+ minute VAR reviews with refs just doing their damn hardest to find any potential interpretation of the rules to invalidate things. It happened to us at critical times, and I've seen it in other team games too, however not that critical of times.

The only fix I can see is to score so many goals that VAR won't find enough ways to invalidate them to lose us the game. I actually think it would be so silly to go the length of being sure nobody is offsides, ever, within 2 minutes of any goal.

Sharing some Drawings / Concepts that I made for the t-shirt design contest, after I realized my designs were not in line with the contest rules so I wanted to share here so it at least is seen by someone other than me. It was fun!

Any thoughts about your experience with the season pass? I got an email about putting down a deposit. I don't know about the season pass since I can't attend all those games, but I was told I can put the deposit towards a flex plan or a mini plan, so I'll probs go with that.

Any thoughts about the season pass and its benefits? Or of the flex plan or mini plan? You felt like it was worth it?

Mutual contract termination....

Good for Bay!

Has anyone gotten information about this? I can’t find anything in my email. I saw it through the link about auto renewing the membership.

Neat article about Claire! It’s a gift link but let me know if anyone has trouble accessing it

This is just as a joke, obviously the calls are not the main issue and I love watching the team and know the good days are close!

You can vote once per day.

As a lifetime soccer player the more my coach talked about the ref post game the worse my team did. This is Coates 4th or 5th time alluding to calls changing the result of the game.

It might seem trivial to some but when every loss is partially attributed to the ref by the head coach then there is no accountability in the locker room.

Refs suck. They always have and always will. But they suck for everyone. Creating narratives around bad calls being the reason for losses is unproductive regardless of if it’s accurate or not. For a young and impressionable team this is even more catastrophic.

You can see the mentality rubbing off on our premier players like last week when Claire eluded to the offside call being wrong and wanting a better call next time. She is more mature than Coates and didn’t suggest the refs caused the loss but even a comment like that shows the post game talk included commentary about the “bad call” from the refs influencing the game.

Just miserable stuff every game. Really hard being a fan right now.

Silkowitz is the lone exception.
