23' Barouch feeds one across the box....as usual nobody makes a far post run

now its a game with the paladini yellow

Tuesday May 29, 2012 6:56 bones

6:57

All we need is a blast over the crossbar by 10 yards and we'll have a complete Paladini match

wow yellow card for the dive

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

puppo with the pass to bone?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:01 bones

7:01

seemed like a deflected pass/loose ball

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:01

7:02

great turn by Barouch and just misses the far post!

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:02

7:03

the feed skipped for me so I missed that chance

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:03 t

7:07

Fire return to training in Bridegview on Thursday....hope to have an ETA on Alex by then

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:07

7:08

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

6month loan with an option for 3 years on alex, right?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:08 bones

7:08

I believe that's right

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:08

7:10

Fire have included option clauses in every South American signing in the last two years......they have the option on Grazzini in July

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:10

7:12

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

6 month option on grazzini in july?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:12 bones

7:12

another 2 years

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:12

7:13

for considerably more than the $50K he's listed for in the salary report

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:13

7:14

Fire lucky not to be down 2 or 3-1

[Comment From tt: ]

amazing how poor our backline is...

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:15 t

7:16

this group has played well in reserve league

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:16

7:16

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

damn, everyone is slipping on the turf

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:16 bones

7:16

all three draft picks this year plus last year's #1in the back

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:16

7:17

I hate soccer on turf

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:17

7:18

[Comment From tt: ]

I recognize the youth of our backline, but still, I'd expect better out of Berry/Anibaba. Walls has been servicable. Jumper horrendous.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:18 t

7:19

that's pretty accurate t

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:19

7:19

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

Berry might be gassed?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:19 bones

7:20

kind of surprised he didn't go with Watson-Siriboe in one of the centerback spots

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:20

7:21

Brendan Hannan does a really nice job on play by play....mixes in some humor and nonsense with a game call, which is always good in my book

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:21

7:23

[Comment From tt: ]

It's a pity seeing us unable to take USOC as seriously this game, but after the extremely busy May, I understand the reserve line-up. Still, it would be an extreme disappointment to see the second half continue as the first.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:23 t

7:24

Didn't have much choice because of the congestion in May and another game coming up on Saturday but the reserve line up should be able to handle a fourth division squad

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:24

7:24

Fire v New England is the only MLS regular season match this weekend

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:24

7:26

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

haha, did they assume both clubs wouldnt have any internationals missing the game?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:26 bones

7:27

ha....they must have looked at the rosters and thought they'd be safe

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:27

7:27

[Comment From tt: ]

General question: Do you see us turning a corner soon and becoming an actual force in MLS or do we continue to limp along midpack and sneak into the playoffs a la CBus last year?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:27 t

7:28

I think they'll continue to ride with the pack until they can upgrade at forward with a big time striker. I still believe they're a top 5 team in the East but probably not a serious challenger for the 1-3 spots.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:28

7:28

Still believe they're a better club than Columbus

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:28

7:29

Pappa will also miss the New England game with National team duty

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:29

7:29

[Comment From tt: ]

Second general question: With all the quality free agents floating around this summer, who do/should the Fire bring in (I'd like to see Markus Rosenberg myself)

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:29 t

7:29

Rosenberg would be interesting and he's a free right now

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:29

7:30

they supposedly made an offer to Oribe Peralta from Santos Laguna before he re-signed in Mexico

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:30

7:33

Saw a rumor about David Suazo the other day......hope that's not true.....wrong Suazo

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:33

7:35

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

Just got home from work and errands...what's the score right now?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:35 Boukenkage

7:35

1-1

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:35

7:35

Bone scored for the Fire in the 28th

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:35

7:35

[Comment From tt: ]

I was a bit depressed by that rumor as well...

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:35 t

7:36

I think they're legitimately trying to land a high quality striker but sometimes it's harder than just throwing money at a guy

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:36

7:37

[Comment From tt: ]

seems to work for montreal...

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:37 t

I'm not sold on Di Vaio

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:37

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

haha suave!

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:40 bones

7:41

I don't watch as much Serie A as I do other leagues but Di Vaio has certainly shown he can score.....my concern would be age and a decline in scoring this season

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:41

7:42

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

Nice to see a goal from Puppo. :)

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:42 Boukenkage

7:42

Nice run and nice move to free himself for a shot

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:42

7:44

Fire much better in the second half so far

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:44

7:45

[Comment From tt: ]

If im not mistaken KWS in for Berry at some point before the goal

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:45 t

7:46

yes....Watson-Siriboe entered 2 minutes before

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:46

7:46

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

i believe Di Vaio got an 18 month deal

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:46 bones

7:46

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

What's the deal with KWS? Is he that far down the depth chart?

offline feed?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:47 bones

7:47

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

Pity Puppo stepped over the ball on that play....and...offline?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:47 Boukenkage

7:48

KWS has fallen behind Friedrich, Gibbs, Berry, Anibaba, and possibly even Jumper

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:48

7:49

Jeff Crandall must have stepped on the extension cord

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:49

7:49

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

How come though? Is he that much more raw than any of the new draftees?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:49 Boukenkage

7:49

I think they just rate the other guys higher....a lot of good competition at that spot

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:49

7:50

It was a bit telling that they continued to look for a center back in preseaon with hardly a mention of KWS

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:50

7:50

[Comment From tt: ]

now were just pointed at the ceiling....

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:50 t

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:51 Boukenkage

can't believe it took 65 minutes for a ball to hit the ceiling

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:53

Best game ive seen bone play in.. ever?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:54 bones

7:54

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

So...Stu Givens is their Gargan?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:54 Boukenkage

7:54

Bone had one nice game in Toronto

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:54

7:55

I think confidence is the issue with him

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:55

7:56

another nice move for a shot by Barouch

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:56

7:56

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

false, there is only one gargan

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:56 bones

7:56

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

Who is Gargan's backup? Walls or Anibaba (assuming Anibaba doesn't have to play CB)?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:56 Boukenkage

7:56

Walls if Anibaba is at CB

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:56

7:57

Anibaba would probably be back up #1 at RB

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:57

7:57

Sorry, just a thought my friend and I have thought about.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:57 Boukenkage

[Comment From bonesbones: ]

Pause can play at RB too

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:57 bones

7:57

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

Oh, and how's Robayo been tonight?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:57 Boukenkage

7:57

Robayo's been ok

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:57

7:58

he seems to work more in combination and doesn't look to get forward into the area much himself

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:58

7:59

[Comment From BoukenkageBoukenkage: ]

And yeah, my friend and I have discussed about Pause and Vidiera slotting back there too.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:59 Boukenkage

7:59

Robayo's a good second holding mid in a 4-5-1 formation imo....not really a #10 like Grazzini

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:59

7:59

[Comment From tt: ]

Robayo guilty of some suspect passing still. Never been impressed by his play this season.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 7:59 t

Puppo! Nice. Who's been playing well.

Tuesday May 29, 2012 8:02 Drew

"first half was pretty bad" - jeez, heard that before

You think we'll see more of Bone if Pappa is gone for international duty?

Tuesday May 29, 2012 8:05 Boukenkage

probably not.....probably Paladini outside
