Possibility floating around now that Lisa Fallon might get the vacant Cork City managers job. Couldn't see it but it would bring publicity.

Our beautiful "soccer-specific" stadium is going to be desecrated by mediocre, meaningless college football and I'm SAD.

tl;dr: blah blah blah football.May 1, 2019 – ORLANDO, FL – The Orlando Sports Foundation announced at a press conference Wednesday that the 2009 Cure Bowl will be played at Orlando City Stadium.
The Cure Bowl will be the first non-soccer sporting event to take place at Orlando City Stadium, since its opening in March 2017. Kickoff for the fifth-annual Cure Bowl will be December 21, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
“We are excited about the Orlando Sports Foundation’s partnership with Orlando City Stadium and the unique atmosphere that will be created for the Cure Bowl,” CEO of the Orlando Sports Foundation and Executive Director of the Cure Bowl Alan Gooch stated. “I can’t wait to see a college football game in Orlando City Stadium. We believe all fans will have a great experience and this will help us to continue our mission of bringing teams together to find a cure for cancer.”
Orlando City Stadium located in the heart downtown Orlando is home to the Orlando City Soccer Club of Major League Soccer (MLS) and Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). The state-of-the-art venue is within walking distance of the historic Church Street Entertainment District.
“We are very excited to welcome the Cure Bowl to Orlando City Stadium as the first non-soccer sporting event to be hosted in our beautiful venue,” Orlando City SC Chief Revenue Officer Chris Gallagher said. “Through flagship events like the Cure Bowl, the Orlando Sports Foundation works tirelessly to raise funds for cancer research, and we are happy to do what we can to support such a meaningful initiative. We can’t wait to see a new kind of football on our pitch this December.”
In its first four years, the Cure Bowl has been used as a platform to raise $3.6 million for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). The Orlando community has benefited from the funds generated at the game with local BCRF researcher Dr. Annette Khaled at the UCF College of Medicine receiving over $1.1 million of the funds distributed.
“The move allows us to add a gameday block party which will start at Church Street and conclude with a March 2 Cure to Orlando City Stadium,” Gooch added. “These events will help drive revenue to Downtown Orlando business owners, while enhancing the experience of Cure Bowl attendees on gameday.”
The March 2 Cure will be a free, pre-game event featuring music, entertainment and activities for all to enjoy. The event will culminate with an organized walk from the Church Street Entertainment District to the game at Orlando City Stadium. Each team playing in the Cure Bowl will have their band participate in the march alongside fans, cancer survivors and supporters decked out in pink gear.
The Orlando Sports Foundation will host an open house on May 8 from 5-7 p.m. at Orlando City Stadium to celebrate our new home. This community event will allow Orlando Sports Foundation members, fans and the general public to tour the facility, pose for photos and view seat options for the Cure Bowl on Saturday, December 21.
The Cure Bowl features a matchup between teams from the American Athletic Conference and Sun Belt Conference. There is also a secondary tie-in with independent Liberty University. The annual postseason college bowl game was played the previous four seasons at Camping World Stadium.
I just came in and put on Bohs and Sligo and there's 18 minutes of injury time at the end of the first half.
Mr Towell of thread title fame has fallen another two divisions and rocked up with Salford City.
I know fuckall about towell but the seethe in these comments is

There's a lovely bitterness at non-league level.
Yeah, the reactions there are mental. Maybe he thinks that team is going somewhere and wants the chance to go up a few divisions with them whilst being paid well enough for the privilege. THE HORROR!
It's not like he's signed for an actual non-league/semi-pro team.
Top foresight by Giggles though, naming the thread after him.
I'm a twit
All soccer players should be as honest instead of the usual fannying about.

This bullshit rearing its head again. I wouldn't watch another minute of soccer in this country if this happened.
Bohemians are going to play in the Scottish Challenge Cup again this season.
"Passport Issues"
I think this is one of the times where you can add 2 and 2 and get 4.
Fuck
Ding dong.
(Nothing will change).
Fucking idiots.
Orlando City fired their manager if any of you lads wants to come give us a hand.
No can do. I'm holding out for the Sunderland job.
Phil Neville's young lad is in our U19's.

Ironically Chris Coleman's wife has been replying to a bunch of Orlando City stuff recently, including the announcement of a new location for our B team to play as well as replying to a few "insider" (said with the loosest terms) accounts listing random manager names that could potentially be in the running by saying things like "are you sure that's all?!"
Soooo...
What’s he at now anyway? He’s had some fall in a short time.
He was recently with some Chinese team but apparently without a job at the moment.
It would be PEAK Orlando City to hire a guy "some people have heard of" based off the back of a glimmer of international success and a Netflix documentary.
Is he in that Sunderland one?
Yea for like the entire bit if i recall lol
Aye, he's in the first season.
Are they doing a second?
I'm sure one was greenlit for this season.
Bowez.
Good for them.

Mexican side Tigres scored two goals as the players from opposing side Veracruz went on strike during the opening minutes of their league game.
Veracruz were protesting over unpaid wages and stood by as Tigres went 2-0 up, before going on to win 3-1.
"They knew that we were going to stay still for three minutes, it's sad," said Veracruz defender Carlos Salcido.
But Tigres' Guido Pizarro said: "They told us they were going to stop just for a minute and then it was three."
He added: "We said we [Tigres] would only stay still for a minute."
Veracruz are bottom of the table without a win in 13 games and their players sarcastically applauded their Tigres counterparts at the end of the game.
Tigres are third, three points off the lead.
They haven't been paid for like six months.
Shouldn't have been anywhere near the stadium at all then.
I agree. I think the issue is that they wouldn't be able to sign with anyone this time of the year, and they wouldn't be playing, which leaves them in a shit situation. Shitter than the current one? I don't know.
I kinda see the argument for both sides. On one hand, yeah show solidarity for fellow pros not being paid. On the other hand, Tigres players have been paid so why should they refuse to play.
Never turn down a free lunch.
Especially if there's a goal bonus in your contract.
I mean that's kinda silly to expect Tigres to join you in your protest and risk fines etc of their own IMHO.
Sure, they could've gave them a minute but beyond that come on.
If both teams had stopped and stood still for five minutes it would just have looked like a normal Mexican league match.
Would need more flopping on the ground.
Cup final week.
Thank Christ for that.
