@scavendish @SoccerInsider Shit. Those are good too. Had he not just had a birthday a couple of days ago I would be all over that. Hell. I am all over that. Here we are at a DCU match in May.

@SoccerInsider Two of my favorite Steves on Twitter (Goff and Cavendish) replying to this post has lifted me from the darkness of today’s unjust Arsenal draw with City. Thanks gentlemen. @scavendish

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@SoccerInsider Would he be considered a home grown player or a designated player? What would his cap hit be? Can he play costumed or not? I believe a deep dive is needed here. Please, Micah Pollack, approve a 1,000 word article into this.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@SoccerInsider DCU may want to sign the Phanatic in the next transfer window. Decent first touch.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@scottjack79 @StanCollymore Common freaking sense must prevail. How do you know he heard the whistle? How do you know he didn’t think the whistle was for the half. You don’t. Unless you were there and within earshot of the play. Tired of a great game being ruined by crap like that. Tired of EPL refs.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@SoccerInsider Do you have one of these???

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

Congrats @PaulHawksbee. Nice win. We have a nickname for these type of Birthday Spreads. We call them “The Crying Games”

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

Preparing to play the Birthday Spread, as I do every week, on my 60th birthday. Thanks Paul, Charlie, Andy and Geoff for all the laughs each Thursday. Kenny Mac the Gooner in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. @tsHandJ @PaulHawksbee @BakersTweet

Thanks a million for the shoutout lads. Came right in the middle of my 6.0 birthday kilometer run. Really picked up my spirits.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@MLSRefStats Agree 1,000%. And I am an Arsenal fan. Several minutes after this incident I turned to a friend and said: “I have no problem with the call if they make that every single time it happens this season. I fear, however, they won’t.”

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@myqkaplan So what you’re saying is you have a figure fit for radio.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@CalltoActivism @joncoopertweets He’d be better off flying couch. I mean coach.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@MikeTroy81 @RexChapman He was also terrific in The Office.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@joncoopertweets Maybe it’s all that bleach he injected.

@thegoalkeeper I’ve grown tired of the Leagues Cup (DC United season ticket holder here who is at home tonight). It has been going on for too long. 2 years is enough to know it’s a failure.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@dcunited The “crowd” at this match tells you everything you need to know about how folks think about the Leagues Cup.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@RexChapman The commentary is awesome. Especially the line: “And Marx claims it was offsides.” Absolutely brilliant.

[Ken McDonald @KennyMac88]

@MJMcKean I’d love to see To Be Announced.
