@sparkandember.netOct 15, 2026, 3:49 AM When someone like Gregg comes out and says it... I know as a fan I have to actively focus on my bias when talking about refs, but he's good and measured. This ref sucked, and I hope the broadcast picked up how the fans felt about it. #cd97 #CHIvPHI
@sparkandember.netOct 15, 2026, 3:39 AM Gutman still unavailable for inexplicable reasons, and a midfield that hasn't seen enough minutes to be in form against this Union squad.New England is now a must-win game to maintain th home playoff priority and top 4 berth. 3/3#cd97 #CHIvPHI
@sparkandember.netOct 15, 2026, 3:39 AM Honestly, I was checked out a bit by the third goal. Chalk it up to a midweek/school night game, or the Cold Times, or just the bummer mood in 210.Game felt winnable but tough before the sending off, but this wasn't NYCFC.2/3#cd97 #CHIvPHI
@sparkandember.netOct 15, 2026, 3:39 AM Ok, some slightly extended thoughts. Cards were soft tonight. Can't help but wonder if the ref was retaliating for some early Lewy shithousing. The first two goals were sloppy defending in a crowded box, and the mistakes that led to them.1/3#cd97 #CHIvPHI
@sparkandember.netOct 15, 2026, 2:43 AM Well that was awful. More thoughts after I get home, school night and all that. I can't help but focus on the ref calls; will be interesting to review on replay. Recognized this was always going to be a tough game, but this.. Not like this#cd97 #CHIvPHI
