apart from the GK if we had to have that start a league game I'd be ok with it. Not good enough for playoffs but mid to lower table.

sort of know what you mean, but these are very exciting, and very talented kids. the whole country will know them come may next year
It's a diamond in midfield. Hoogland in-front of the back four, David at the tip with Hyndman and Williams tucked in.
Hope George gets at least a half to show what he can do
I think we can expect to see a lot of changes at half-time.

Well we've only got 5 more players out there...
DCU Starters: Dykstra; Kemp, Shanosky, Boswell; Porter, Jeffrey, Neal, Martin, Caskey; Doyle, Seaton
We've only got one regular starter on the pitch in Boswell. You may recognize Lewis Neal from a number of years at Stoke when he was younger. Connor Doyle played for Derby County for a few years. Seaton is a fun player to watch, young Jamaican homegrown player who usually plays for our reserves.

Thanks for that... In principle, Fulham should run relatively riot?
Ok, 5 changes then!
Just tuned into the radio - you don't get adverts with Gentleman Jim... And they do say Jagwars!
The surprise player for me in this pre season in terms of minutes played is Burgess . Felix seems to rate him

Not sure. I think it could be an even match. DC backline will have trouble with Rodallega and Dembele, but the midfield should be stout. DC will push from the outside, Porter and Neal are pacey and can get down the wings in a hurry.

Pretty terrible commentary though. And that's coming from an American... I'm relying on text commentary.
announcers saying DC United have had the better possession. Fulham playing compact and looking to counter.
The announcers aren't very interesting but they are trying to tell the Fulham tale to an American audience.

Thanks. I thought I had missed the last bit. I think Hyndman may have provided the assist then.
A sensational finish from Dembélé! David picked out his run behind the D.C. back-line with precision and the Frenchman lifted the ball delicated over Dykstra. Fulham 1-0 D.C. United

There are pictures on Facebook of the screens and pools. Yet the Director was talking about the redevelopment of the Riverside Stand and never mentioned Craven Cottage having the same screens and pools. I feel short changed.

Dude, there's a river running by Craven Cottage and with the Riverside stand development you could probably go dip your toes in the Thames at halftime! Or how about a 362 foot video screen atop the new Riverside stand, with special VP passes to watch the match from a top an inner tube resting in the Thames with bar service to your inner tube?

into the PENALTY area, good save from Dykstra, across the GOALMOUTH.
Randomly shouting words!
right, im not going to laugh at the commantor anymore. he clearly has tourrettes, and my mum said its rude to make fun of people with disabilities. INTO the box
yes it is difficult to tell what is happening... wasn't sure they were back from half time until i heard a whistle in the background.
Sorry but I see nothing that much wrong with the commentators. This is not a sport they clearly commentate on every week and they use different terms but I can understand what is going on. Good fun.

I would also echo the same. They are not great but I can tell what's going on. You also have to remember they are announcing to primarily an American crowd, so they are probably dumbing it down a tad.

HAT TRICK!!! From the Carrier!!!
dembele hat trick. ross who?
Make it 3. Moussa ' AirCraft Carrier' Dembele once again
We seem to have been on the back foot for the second half but DC United gave the ball away and Dembele scores. Even in a friendly it is good to hear.
That Demba-lay kid is pretty good... :022:
seems we are counter attacking them with the HMS Moussa 049:gif

the loud screaming words though are a common style in the US for most of our sports, so we shouldn't act as though its some sort of abomination (if your an American).

Yeah having an opinion makes me a snob. fp.gif
Enjoyable to listen to despite the differences. Good result and a good workout. No doubt we will hear all about the fact that DC United had a reserve side playing. But nevertheless enjoyable.
I don't think it's snobbish (not snobby... sorry that correction was maybe snobbish... sorry snobby... where was I?) - I don't think it's snobbish to say that a commentator's mannerism gets on your nerves, if it gets on your nerves. The random shouting gets on my nerves.
FWIW the rest of it wasn't too bad. The mispronunciations don't bother me - I doubt Gentleman Jim's pronunciation of Greek surnames is more accurate - but the thing about SUDDENLY GOING ALL loud is just pants. IMHO.
Certainty a DIFFERENT style but I had a GREAT laugh.
And we even got a bonus, as Moussa Dembélé now have a somewhat odd but great new nickname.

That is how many or our announcers over here announce though, so its not (for us anyway) out of the ordinary at all, in fact it is very common. So, I wasn't calling the English listeners snobbish. It's a style difference from what we hear regularly, compared to what we are used to listening to GJ or the lineup of English/Scottish commentators that do the premier league matches. Maybe snobbish is too harsh but....that's how I viewed it.
Solid performance and a good result. Well done boys.
Thirteen days to go!
I don't see the point of having loads of posts saying how poor the commentators were. I don't see why it was embarrassing. Terms were different and the style was different to what Brits are used to. But Gentleman Jim has some odd idiosyncrasies as well.
Sorry if people didn't enjoy it. I had fun listening and had no problem with the link via the OFFAL. Even when timed out it was easy to get onto the live commentary.
Offal
Moussa Dembélé hit a hat-trick as the Whites completed a good work-out to defeat D.C. United at the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, EverBank Field.
Dembélé's exquisite finish started the ball rolling on 22 minutes, after Chris David's pin-point pass opened up the D.C. defence, and the Washington outfit were punished further when Dembélé struck again on the stroke of half-time.
With 15 minutes left on the clock, the French striker added a composed finish to wrap up a convincing victory, while moving another 90 minutes closer towards match fitness.
The Whites walked out to the sound of London Calling, before lining-up alongside D.C. United and observing the United States national anthem.
Starting off with a midfield diamond, with David supporting the forward duo and Tim Hoogland at the base, the Whites took time to settle with the MLS outfit enjoying good possession but failing to trouble our back-line.
There were warning signs for United when Rodallega's turn of pace drew a free-kick from Conor Shanosky and David stepped up to curled the ball over the wall and back off the post.
The American side threatened from wide areas, with Conor Doyle heading wide on 18 minutes, but three minutes later a defensive lapse was punished by Dembélé after David's precision pass cut through the middle of the back-line.
It could have been two when Hyndman's drilled effort whistled fractionally wide on 39 minutes after Collin Martin only half-cleared Kay Voser's whipped cross, before Jesse Joronen was forced into action on the break, making a double save from Michael Seaton and then Doyle on the rebound.
On the stroke of half-time, Dembélé's doubled his tally, taking advantage of Boswell's sliced clearance from Konstantinos Stafylidis' cross to fire in from six yards.
Patrick Roberts joined the action in place of Ryan Williams at half-time, as the Whites aimed to build on a solid first-half but they were almost undone when Seaton's far-post header cleared the crossbar.
Smart skills from David opened up space for Kay Voser to cut inside and shoot but his left-foot effort never troubled sub goalkeeper Bill Hamid's goal.
D.C. continued to move the ball well and Stafylidis and Cameron Burgess were called into action to make good blocks, but Seaton was left open to head the ball across goal and wide of Joronen's post.
And Dembélé ensured he had the final word, calmly rolling the ball into the corner of the D.C. United goal after being afforded acres of space to complete his treble.
094.gifWent to the game with my dad, and I can honestly say that it was the most bizarre sporting experience of my life. There were only a couple of Fulham fans within 50 metres of us due to being relocated to a completely different area to our original ticket. 99% of the spectators spent almost the entire match doing anything BUT watch the match. They can't have all been there for Carrie Underwood, so what on earth were they doing in the bloody stadium?

EJL, I'd have to agree. I only saw a handful of Fulham jerseys in the crowd and I think I was the only one who stood up around me and cheered when Dembele scored his first.

Sounds like a typical Saturday afternoon at the Emirates.
I enjoyed the match and commentary-I liked the warmth and enthusiasm of the commentators.
But it was a one off, in a unique, and unpressurised game, and of course I will be glad to get back to the familiarity of GJ to lead me through the undoubted stress, pain, and, hopefully, at least some triumph, of the League season.
Well done Fulham, and thanks to the club for enabling uis to hear the game.
I was about to switch off after about 10 minutes but ending up thoroughly ENJOYING the bloke. It was HILARIOUS. That's not being snobbish, it's obviously his STYLE.
I could cope with the different TERMS but we got far too much irrelevant ramble and very little description of what was actually HAPPENING. Maybe he's used to commentating on TV RATHER than radio. It was minutes before we knew that the game had even started "5 minutes gone and no score yet". The commentator himself seemed to have very little understanding of the GAME and the co-commentator was better.
If GJ was listening, maybe he'd like to try out the aircraft carrier (at last a successor to the wardrobe) and "get up yer PONCE" next time.
Still, a unique and very Fulhamish experience.
D.C. United took a quick break from Major League Soccer action this weekend to take on Fulham F.C. in an international friendly in Jacksonville, Fla., at EverBankField. Featuring a side that has yet to play many minutes together this season, United had to work quickly to build chemistry on the pitch.
In the first 20 minutes, both teams went back and forth as United traded corner kicks for Fulham's free kicks; both teams split possession. Fulham broke through in the 21st minute when United's defense turned the ball over and Moussa Dembele beat the defense and slotted the ball past a charging Andrew Dykstra. United responded with several quality chances of its own, as Collin Martin had a shot on goal in the 40th minute which was blocked for a corner kick, and Michael Seaton beat his defender down the line in the 42nd minute, but his shot was saved. Fulham responded to United's strong push in the 43rd, when Dembele scored again off a botched clearance from the defense to double the lead going in to halftime.
The second half featured some new faces for United as Steven Birnbaum replaced Bobby Boswell, and Bill Hamid replaced the injured Dykstra in the 52nd minute. DCU came out of the break a little slowly, but almost pulled a goal back in the 66th minute as Taylor Kemp floated a ball to the back post, and Seaton's header rolled inches past the post. Minutes after nearly cutting the score in half, Dembele completed his hat trick as he got behind the defense and passed the ball in the back of the net to increase Fulham's lead to 3-0.
D.C. United is back in MLS action at RFK this Wendesday as it hosts Toronto FC on July 30
It's true the crowd was not all that large. Don't know what the official capacity is for the Everbank stadium but the missis and I are guessing it was only about 25% filled. We put a great little crowd together with a nice mixture of expats and yanks. About 14 of us in all screaming COYW! All of us had our FFC shirts on and stood to cheer for every goal. We also stood and clapped when "aircraft carrier" was subbed towards the end.
We also had FFC flag laid out for everyone to see right in front of us. Almost directly across from us was another nice little group of fans all in white. We could see their flag waving for every goal.
Most of us left once carry come on but the misses and daughter stayed. They think the crowd grew to about 50% for Carrie.
One really nice touch I thought was while at the bar Khan and his crew met a really nice family who flew across the pond from London. The family consisted of two young teen girls who got their photo taken with Khan. The girls then got to escort the team during their entrance on to the pitch.
