Social media has enabled these losers so much. Normies are trying to have a laugh with far-flung folks they've never met, while this group is baking their lack of self-awareness and racism into a civil war over tips and grifts.

I bet the food is great there, too.

He’s had a few set-piece defensive yips, but overall, very good.

Ramsey also sports a t-shirt 🤢

Loons finished as needed. SKC played like a Wooden Spoon contender.

Dotson looks great, Fitz passes to Loons (!!!) in mop-up minutes. Markanich, Pereyra et al do the needed work pre-80. @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social

Wear a t-shirt to a pro game: get your ass kicked.

Unlucky for Duggan. Markanich unmarked again. Loons are flying.

SKC’s 17yo and the former Loon Toye look like they want to play tonight. Rest of them do not.

How does Markanich stroll on to the ball unmarked like that?!?! 🤷‍♂️ Dude has an eye for the goal on set pieces, but that was the easiest he’s scored.

Possession is fine, defense didn’t fall asleep. #MNUFC

More Fitz passes to…somewhere.
More great defending.
More offensive groans.
More set-piece brilliance.
Loons leave it late and escape, 1-0. #MNUFC

This is a drum I have been banging for a few years with those who do administration: the "blowback" you are getting about a particular online thing is often more perception than reality, and the more national that blowback is the more likely it is that it's an astroturfing campaign. ...

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

The Loons fought back to earn a road point but still appear to be a team searching for answers. I wrote about the Loons formula for success and how it has been missing in action recently. #MNUFC

Halftime fix: Eric dials up a 4-4-2. Love it!
Better effort from M/Fs, earned result, fair draw.
Nectar’s boots are 🚀.
Great to see Dotson get some minutes.
Renowned passer Fitz didn’t pass well, from minutes 45-93. 🙄
Healing in the mountains is done. Wins the rest of the way. #MNUFC

Loons’ right side is getting worked (ahem, Gressel) & the midfield/F has rolled over (wtf, Pereyra/Löd/Nectar/Trapp? Bongi who?).
D’s bend finally broke. tbh, it was a matter of time because nothing was happening at the other end.
Fiery speech or gobs of changes (inc Dotson), please Eric. #MNUFC

• I will take a ball, kicked or otherwise legally directed - by a Loon (ANY ONE OF THEM!), on purpose - into Colo’s goal.
• I will grudgingly take a draw.

Those are my minimums to lift my funk surrounding the Loons. Break my funk, #MNUFC
