How does this work? Looks like it's a pay platform. Will this be free?

Ramsay is a bright young talent but he knew going in it would be hard to right the ship at WBA with their roster. From what I've had heard, there was a disagreement in the sporting side of MNUFC front office in December. Soon after Ramsay left the team. I wish him luck - he's a good man.

Drone show night 1 was magical

Be sure to stop by at 7 for round 2 tonight!

I received my first email this morning and it's really good. It reminds me of what @brucedunord.bsky.social used to do w/o ai at DuNord back in the mid 2000s

German soccer club say proposed U.S. tour ‘does not fit our values’, citing ICE actions Werder Bremen had provisionally been planning to spend a week between Minnesota and Detroit in May, playing two friendly matches.

The @TheAthleticFC reports that Weder Bremen cancelled plans to play in the Twin Cities, and Detroit, in May because of ICE violence. "Playing in a city where there is unrest and people are being shot does not fit our values. That will not happen with us."

The @MNUFC drone light show at @allianzfield was pretty cool. There is another tonight at 8:30 and two more Friday night. Plenty of room to park. It’s directly in front of the stadium with hot chocolate, coffee and delicious goodies. Some folks got swag too.

West Brom 'forced' to make Eric Ramsay sack decision amid mutiny Mick Brown believes West Brom could be forced to sack Eric Ramsay as fans continue to call for his head at The Hawthorns.

West Brom hosts Coventry on Saturday who are top of the table in the Championship. It’s a nearly impossible task but unless Eric Ramsay gets a positive outcome the chances of keeping his job seem slim. The Baggies have 3-draws and 4-losses under Ramsay.
