Nathan Hale, Stephen Buckeridge, and Adam Weigand
You Ain't Lion is a community for the fans by the fans. Nathan Hale, Stephen Buckeridge, and Adam Weigand host a weekly podcast covering FC Cincinnati. An honest, often too candid approach on #FCCincy
FCC head into the break on a high note after a 6-2 drubbing of Orlando in the West End on Saturday night.
Evander with a huge game and Kenji with a brace.
What moves would Adam like to see FCC make in the summer window? Listen up and find out!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
A double dose of Grade A.
Had some things pop up that kept us from recording after Miami and immediately after San Diego but we are here to give you what you want.
The ratings are in from both games and with the WC break looming FCC has some important decisions to make.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
One point gained or two points lost? You decide.
Adam and Adam recap the 2-2 draw in the fake queen city.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
10 man Cincy smash and grab 3 points late behind an Evander hat trick in Chicago.
Listen in to see who Adam picks as his MOTM.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
WE WIN!!!! FCC grabs the 2-0 win on Saturday night in the West End behind a Denkey brace.
Adam and Adam break down the surprising performance for an undermanned Orange and Blue and the MOTM may raise some eyebrows.
Listen up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
It took us two tries but we recorded a Grade A episode! After some technical difficulties the boys get into the wild 4-4 draw with the Pigeon's.
FCC are now down 5 center backs after Haggs, Teenage, and Powell all went off injured in this one (or in warm ups). So while the offensive looks like it may be waking up, and some youngsters are contributing, the defense continues to struggle.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Another game, another tie, and another suspension. Are we seeing signs of hope though? FCC turns in its best xG performance in a 3-3 draw that had the Orange and Blue once again battling back to take a point.
Listen as we discuss the game and performances!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
4 games 4 red cards and a rescued point in a 1-1 draw north of the border.
Adam and recap the match spend some time doing a "vibes check" on the current players as FCC continues to struggle to get things right in 2026.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Yuck.....we lose 4-2 to the Energy Drinks
Listen to the ratings!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
It was gut check time for the Orange and Blue. After a thrilling 4-3 win 10 man Cincy may have been left with even more questions.
Listen as we break it all down, its a little long but a lotta good.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Rinse and Repeat
Another horrible MLS performance for the Orange and Blue but here we are talking about it. 6-1 to a winless team...pathetic. Listen up!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Same old same old? This offense is feeling lost and the result was a 1-0 defeat at home to Toronto. We had to rate it so do us the favor of listening!!!!
Stick around for us talking music after the pod!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Life without Evander begins with a 1-0 loss on the road to Minnesota. Adam and Adam break it down and dish out some harsh criticism of our second striker position.
Listen up and see if you agree with our assessment and the MOTM pick!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The boys in Orange and Blue are back and so are Adam and Adam to recap Matchday 1.
Cincy grabs a 2-0 victory over Atlanta to start the campaign and there are no shortages of storylines and performances to to talk about.
There were several candidates for Man of the Match and Adam perhaps picked a controversial one, but the stats back it.
Listen up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
A quick trip down memory lane....
Then some preseason news, notes, and most importantly thoughts.
Bucks, Adam, Dolphin Kisser, and Nate return to break it all down.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Adam and Adam are joined by OG Daddy Bucks to review and preview the ORange and Blue 2025 season and the start of Silly Season. Some roster moves have been announced and now that MLS Cup is complete the league year is right around the corner, like literally Monday.
We discuss the current roster, the current needs, and dig into a couple potential trade candidates...one may surprise you. We take a look at who is potentially available and who fits!
It's a long one, but it's the offseason, what else do you have to do??
Listen Up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
FCC is moving on, Darlington Nagbe is retired, and the rest of the Crew can head to Cancun.
FCC take down their rival in a take all Game 3 behind a Brenner brace and strip tease. Listen up as we recap the game and discuss next rounds opponent.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
This was awful but we talked about it, rated the players, and discussed what to do differently.
Listen up!!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
It's playoff time! FCC just out 1-0 in the series with a 1-0 over the Crew on Monday night in the West End. We have a surprise MOTM IMO, who was yours?
Adam and Adam break down each players rating, discuss the Alec Kann sword pull, the Alvas Powell Experience and look forward to Match 2 on SUNDAY.
Stay after as we discuss why older cars and sticks are better than new cars and automatics.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The end of the regular season is here and FCC celebrated Decision Day with a 3-0 win over Montreal. Adam and Adam review the match, give out grades, and crown a MOTM.
Then the boys look forward to the playoffs and a first round HIR matchup against the Hardhats
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The regular season road slate comes to an end with FCC notching a "traditional" 1-0 victory.
Denkey got the goal, who gets MOTM? Plus the boys look forward to the playoff seeding and Decision Day.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The shield appears to be lost but is all else? Adam and Adam review the 1-1 draw against Orlando Sunday night in the West End and dive into the team set up and some interesting sub patterns....listen up, the players do!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Another western conference foe, another win for FCC. The orange and blue headed out to Carson and took care of business 3-2 against the Galaxy on Saturday night.
While fans were frustrated we once again could not dominate while up a man they will will be happy with the play of BDE! Plus Gidi and Ender get starts.
Listen up for the rating and other nonsense!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The boys are back to winning ways and back in the Shield hunt.
FCC turned back Nashville 2-1 on Saturday. Adam and Adam talk about the performance, the new guys, the new old guy and much more. Winning is more fun too.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The shield may be slipping away but Adam and Adam are bullish on the chances for FCC in the playoffs.
Listen as they recap the 1-0 loss to Doop from the weekend, discuss the current break, and what to expect of the squad coming out against Nashville.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Well that was awful. Adam and Adam go deep and review the 1-0 loss to the Pigeons. We get into line up choices, window additions, and whether Brad Smith should ever see the field again...
Listen up because we had to review it!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
We are back after missing a game due to some health reasons but fear not! We are locked and loaded.
Adam and Adam recap the Evander/Kelsey revenge game, talk about the stretch run, discuss who might still be moved out (spoiler it was Yedlin and we did not guess it), and we dish out some ratings along the way.
Listen up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Should have been 3 points...
Listen as we recap the 0-0 draw at the Pink Phony Clubs high school stadium in Ft. Lauderdale. Huge game by Roman and Anunga....should Evander have rested during the All Star Game? lol no.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
A double episode??? Not really...that Miami game stands on its own.
We are back after some dirt racing (Adam) and surgery (Adam) to recap a 1-0 victory way out west that sees FCC top the Supporter Shield standings going into the All Star Break.
Evander is finally unseated as MOTM, and there were a couple of candidates.
Listen up to the recap and Adam's eulogy to the Prince of Darkness
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Yup that sucked, but we still reacted to it.
Please listen even though it is painful.
On to Miami....
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Top of the table?
That's right. The Orange and Blue surge to the top of the Eastern Conference and Supporter Shield standings after a 2-1 victory over Chicago on Saturday night in the West End.
Evander and KD gave the fans what the wanted and while Hell Is Real is on deck we must first look back at a gutsy performance by the boys.
Will Evander win a third straight MOTM? Spoiler alert....yes. But there are plenty of other performances to talk about!
Listen Up!!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
9 Points in June!!
FC Cincy go on the road and win a slugfest in the land of Mickey Mouse 2-1. Evander once again was the star with 2 goals but a late one made it more interesting than it should have been.
Listen up as we discuss the ratings, react to the Dado twitter war, the state of the Eastern Conference, and look back at Adam's Club World Cup volunteer experience at TQL.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
FC Cincy roll up north beating Montreal 3-1 behind stellar performances from Engel, Luca, and Evander.
The offense appears to be rounding in the form and the shuffled back line has now put in back to back strong performances.
Listen up as Adam K returns to break down the performance and Adam W listens!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
BACK TO WINNING WAYS!
The defense loked stout even though it was shuffled, the offense created chances but could only finish one, and it was enough.
The Orange and Blue grab 3 points after beating a Revolution team unbeaten in their last 9.
Adam Kuhn is on vacation so its Adam W and a special guest, his daughter!
Listen up!!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Remember when they asked Mr. T (Clubber Lang) if he had a prediction for the fight in Rocky III?
His response? Pain....
This was pain, but we recap it and give the MOTM out!!!!
Enjoy the two week break and lets hope the squad uses it wisely.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
He came, We booed, He cried, We tied....
In the end it felt like a loss.
Lots to discuss from the 3-3 tie with Dallas on Wednesday. A Lucho post mortem, the offense waking up while the defense goes to sleep, and player ratings. Who was your MOTM?
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
FCC loses more than the game on Sunday. Nick Hagglund appears to be out for an extended period as a result of a less than clean off the ball foul by Latte Lath. Scandalous decisions made by the worst PRO Ref in history were the icing on top.
Yes we are angry. Yes we talk about. And yes children under say 13 shouldn't listen...
There were some good things to talk about and also a MOTM to hand out...listen up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Round 1 of Hell is Real is in the books and the teams split the spoils 1-1 in flavortown on Saturday.
Denkey scored the opener and the team hung on in the second half after the tables tilted to Columbus heavily.
Listen for the player AND COACH ratings!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
1-Nil to the Orange and Blue!!! Another 1 goal victory sees FC Cincy remain atop the Eastern Conference. It was a "professional" performance capped by a ridiculous show of individual talent by Kevin Denkey.
We move now to Hell Is Real but before Saturday listen up for the reaction, ratings, and MOTM...here is hint, it wasn't KD.
Listen Up!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The Orange and Blue get back to winning ways send the Columbus Crew errrrrr Austin home 2-1 losers on Saturday night in the West End.
Brandon Vazquez was on hand to witness a masterclass by Evander and Dado scores the winner to make Adam W look more like a fool (keep it up please).
Listen up to the ratings and stay around for the best live performances on the internet. Listen up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The boys laid an egg in pigeonland, losing to NYCFC 1-0.
Listen as Adam W gives one word descriptions of each player and Adam K gives out the ratings.
Stick around after to hear the legend of the Shield winning ducks.
Also, ban all soccer in baseball parks.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
5 in a row for the Orange and Blue! The Saturday early start didn't deter the boys who posted a 2-1 victory and moved to top of the Eastern Conference.
Have we already settle the Goal of the Year conversation? Who were the top performers and MOTM? (Well we know it was KD)
Listen up as we delver the goods!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
FC Cincy went to the Windy City and put out the Fire winning 3-2 behind a strong performance by the offense.
Matt Miazga returned to the starting lineup and there were standout performances by a handful of players, each making a case for MOTM. Who was your pick?
The win sees the Orange and Blue rise to second in the East on goal differential at the quarter pole of the season.
Listen up!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Boring, Boring FCC!!!! (Arsenal fans know)
Back to back 1-0 victories for the Orange and Blue and 3 on the trot after an away win in DC.
The defense was stellar and the offense was...not so much, but a win is a win!
We are here to recap all the ratings and crown Nicky Man Bun as MOTM!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Victory in the West End as FC Cincy beats the Revs with a heavily rotated squad due to injuries.
Listen as the grades as given and a surprise MOTM is selected!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The Orange and Blue went down to Music City, took over their stadium (literally), and bring home all 3 points against a club they played in USL.
There were some standout performances. Roman was at his best, Evander scored another sublime free kick, and Denkey finished it off by doing what Hay couldn't do, bury a penalty kick.
But there was so much more. Listen up and stick around to here my breakdown of the Geodis experience. And huge thanks to Coach Kenny Arena for the chat and to his wife for listening!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
"The Alvas Powell Experience"
Really nothing else to say...just kidding. 2 goals by Evander weren't enough as FC Cincy play to a 2-2 draw in the West End on a Saturday matinee of shorthanded teams.
Listen to the ratings and general discussion about the make up of this team. Is it time to panic? Adam and Adam say no....maybe...
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The up and down form of the first four league games continue as the Orange and Blue drop one on the road 2-0 at Charlotte.
Listen up as we talk through the performances, red card, and injury to Miles Robinson. All in all we enjoyed discussing the match and the state of the team a lot more than we thought!
And yes we picked a Man of the Match!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Okay so it was only Toronto, but let's enjoy it anyway!!!

Adam and Adam return for season 3 1/2? and are breaking down all the performances from an opening night for the Orange and Blue.
At times this one was a bit of a grind as the our new players mesh with the old guard but one thing remained the same, FCC took care of the Energy Drinks.
No more Lucho so who will take the season crown for MOTM, and more importantly, who grabbed it for MD!???
Listen Up!!!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @ComeOnYouFCC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys

The Front Office has spoken and the boys are here to break it all down.

A soggy night in the West End ends up as a 2-1 loss for the Orange and Blue.
There were points there for the taking but some sloppy passing, poor defending, and yet another CB injury all kept FCC from getting anything out of this one.

A tired and depleted Orange and Blue missed a chance to go atop the eastern conference on Saturday night, suffering a 2-1 defeat to the Revolution.
Listen as Adam and Adam discuss the challenges of a back line searching for answers after a rash of injuries, the recent struggles of Roman, and the outlook of the team as they head into an important stretch down multiple key players.

That's what is feels like in FCC land as the Orange and Blue lay a beat down on St. Louis Saturday night and come away with a 3-1 victory.

Hell Is Real for Flavortown!!!
The Orange and Blue traveled north to soulless Columbus and dominated a toothless Crew team grabbing all 3 points in a 2-1 victory. FCC's first win in th eland of cornfields was jighlighted by another stellar defensive effort and more magic from the reigning MVP.
An early injury to Powell could not derail FC Cincy. The youngsters took the spotlight, Dado early on and Kelsey late.

The unbeaten streak has come to an end in ugly fashion as the #WestEndBoys fall 3-0 at DC United. #AllForCincy finally was bitten by injuries and Gold Cup call ups.
Listen as Adam and Adam relive what was honestly a forgettable match. There were some high points and yes, Adam did give out a MOTM.
We have to take the good with the bad I suppose....
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
A short turn on a midweek game but the boys are here for you!
The most unlikely of dominating performances has FCC bagging 3 at home and taking all three points from a dysfunctional Toronto FC. Roman Celentano and the defense produce a league best 9th shutout and Lucho was SAUCY.
We break it all down on what truly was a joy of a game to watch. In the words of Mr. Kuhn, "Full marks to Coach Noonan and the entire coaching staff."
It's gonna be a fun summer in the West End.
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
It's the midpoint of the season and #AllForCincy sit on 40 points after gaining one on the road at Vancouver. Adam is back with Adam to discuss the performances and hand out grades. Lucho came off the bench to score a ridiculous goal only to have the Whitecaps pull the equalizer back minutes later after a foul by Miazga. If you had to pick a MOTM from the starters who would it be?
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys

The who/what/why/when/how of footy transfers!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Back to winning ways! The #WestEndBoys grad all three at the fortress of TQL against the Timbers. The defense was on point, Lucho was back, Barreal was on fire, and Santos was efficient. Lot's of MOTM candidates, who has your vote?
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
No longer undefeated but still atop the east. The Orange and Blue had a lot go the wrong way in the Gateway City. If you enjoy pain you can listen to the player ratings, lol. Seriously though it wasn't all bad and there are some decent take aways.
A MOTM was picked and some overall concerns were discussed. Enjoy it!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Here we go! The news broke just in time for the Big Show and we welcome back the A1 from Day 1 Laurel Pfahler of Queen City Press to cover the hot topic plus all the other burning news in the land of FC Cincinnati.
Brenner Transfer - What does it look like? When did it start? What's the plan for the player? Plus we discuss the behind the scenes circumstances to the transfer saga
Lucho, Obi, and Kubo injury updates and how this will affect the Orange and Blue against St. Louis. Midfield choices and the development of Angulo and Pinto
USMNT call ups for Miazga, Celentano, and Vazquez
Game outlook and predictions
We have a ton of great stuff packed into the one! Enjoy!!!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
One Nil to the FCC!!!!
Perhaps this year will be defined by the scoreline 1-0. We will take it as long as we are on the smiling side! The orange and blue handled Philly on Saturday but not without a cost as Lucho appears set to miss a couple of weeks with a shoulder injury.
Listen up as we dive into some outstanding defensive performances and highlight some stats that will certainly raise "eyebrows".
Roman with shutout number 5 on the year, Miazga a Matchday of the Week appearance, Lucho with a goal...so many choices for MOTM...who has your vote?
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Adam and Nate are in this week as Stephen is somewhere in an airplane.
The fellas are joined by Joe Tansey of Union Soccer Podcast to preview the upcoming match pitting the East leading #WestEndBoys against the East favorite Philly Union. #DOOP and #AllForCincy met a few short months ago in the MLS playoffs with Philly ending the Cincy season by a scoreline of 1-0. It's been a rough start to the campaign for #DOOP but they are not to be taken lightly. They discuss:
- Philly cheating??
- The Union season to date
- The impact of CCL
- Who to watch for on Saturday
- Predictions
Then Nate and Adam get into:
- Pinto or Angulo?
- FCC surprises to date
Listen up and give your ears the good stuff!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The view from the top! Adam and Adam break down the 1-0 victory for #AllForCincy over Pepto Bismol on Saturday night. Coach Noonan apologized to everyone that paid to see it, but we will always take a dub from the #WestEndBoys.
Adam took a cue from Coach Pat with a few of his ratings too. That being said, there were certainly some very strong performances on Saturday night and this is your chance to hear about all of them!! MOTM?? A repeat name? Find out!
And if that wasn't enough...stick around for the pizza talk. What's your 3 item go to order?

@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
It's time to talk about the 1-0 victory for #AllForCincy! The #WestEndBoys headed south to Trashville and brought back 3 points. Pinto gets his debut, Haggs returns from his suspension, and Vazquez is making pancakes again!
Listen as Adam and Adam break down each starter and Mr. Kuhn hands out his MOTM. A tail of two halves for one player, European style time wasting from another...this one had it all.
Stick around to hear Adam Kuhn share some his greatest Uber stories too!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Get ready to experience the highs and the lows, just like this game. An admirable comeback by #AllForCincy means they take 1 point home from frozen Chicago where the temperature and attendance were dangerously close to each other.
Adam and Adam discuss all the important stuff...first starts by a couple of players, the absence of a couple more, incredible subs, and a slumping striker.
Prep your ears for some #WestEndBoy talk where we don't shy away from the bad and we celebrate the good. Then Mr. Kuhn tries to convince me a taco is a sandwich...I know...crazy!
@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
Bucks is on hiatus this week so Nate and Adam get the pleasure of speaking with Matt Shabelman of meninred97.com. Matt is a long time Fire fan shares his amazing perspective on Chicago's season outlook and long term plan. We dig into the coming match and what to expect with 3 players out between the clubs for red cards last week. We end with predictions and little Soldier Field talk.

@TheKingAdRock73 @NinoOne @sbucks67 @crackityFC @fccincinnati @Zuhause513 @MLS #AllForCincy #FCCincy #YAL #WestEndBoys
The pundits said this one was a great barometer for both #AllForCincy and the #Flounders and the result speaks for itself. A narrow 1-0 victory for the #WestEndBoys who were in control until a dubious red card on Nicky Spaggs put the Orange and Blue under pressure at the end. Numerous MOTM performances in this one. Barreal, Moreno, Obi, Brenner...even Reverend Ray. Turn in to hear who wears the crown. And also, which MLS club has the deadliest mascot.

FC Cincy takes down the Red Bulls 2-1 on Saturday and earn a date with Philly this Thursday. After falling behind 1-0 early in the second half the Orange and Blue roar back behind goals from Lucho and Vasquez (Long is still looking for his dignity).
Joe Tansey from Fox Sports The Gambler in Philly joins Adam and Nate to preview the big match. Joe has covered the Union since 2014 and currently hosts the pre and post game show radio show. So many story lines and so much on the line. Joe talks about the year that has been for #DOOP as well as last years playoffs which may serve as motivation heading into Thursday night.

The playoffs are here and FC Cincinnati go on the road and post a come from behind victory over the New York Red Bulls. Plenty of items to discuss in this one...flopping, substitutions, stoppage time and more! A deserving, yet maybe surprising, MOTM pick and a brief look ahead to the Thursday matchup with Philly!

Welcome to the Playoff Chase!!
FC Cincinnati secures a much needed 3 points at home against Charlotte. Let's just say the defense of the Orange and Blue was heroic at times and the offense was...opportunistic? either way 3 points puts the boys right back into the mix...some highlights..

Hell is VAR. Listen up as Adam and Adam recap the 2-2 draw against Columbus. FC Cincinnati did everything to win the game and once again come away with only a tie. A shuffled midfield comes up big, the defense was stout for 95 1/2 minutes, but the attack was not sharp. Who gets the MOTM? Listen and find out!!! #FCCincinnati #YAL

Final Thoughts
STATEMENT TIME!!!!! FC Cincinnati puts together the most complete game the season and just in time. A 3-1 victory over Philadelphia Union blew the lid off of TQL for the first time and saw the Orange and Blue cross back over the playoff line.
The night saw the end of Haris Medunjanin's time in MLS and it was fitting he went out against the club that brought him to America. It also saw the beginning of a new era with the introduction of Matt Miazga. Player chant you say??? Well listen and you get one!!
As always Adam Kuhn hands out accolades and player ratings. Man of Match?? There were 4 to choose from. Adam Weigand? Even with his voice still shot from Saturday night he "sings" the praises of the orange and blue.
FCCincy #YAL #AllForCincy #FCCincinnati
Eight Goals, a first half hat trick, two braces...and some first class Pro shenanigans. This one had it all. FC Cincy ties Miami 4-4 Saturday night. The offense was insane and the defense was maddening...and the score show just how wide the gap was.

This week the guys finally return to their weekly podcast time of the year and got you covered on all the exciting happenings around FC Cincinnati now and in the past two weeks. Each YAL member gives their overall thoughts on the official Lucho Acosta signing and just what that means for the club and the other players. The club had two scrimmages since the last podcast and one is worth more than the other and the guys explain why. Jaap Stam made some interesting comments about current players and current needs, what does that mean for the rest of the preseason leading into match day 1? What did the guys think of the newly released MLS schedule? MVP Prediction? Those questions and more are answered on this week's edition of You Ain't Lion... oh and rants!
This week's episode is very special for the guys as Travis Grimes, Stephen Buckeridge and Nick Marques are joined by a large group of Patreons who got to listen live and ask questions. FC Cincinnati has officially signed Lucho Acosta as the #10 and each YAL member is excited and breaks down what it means for the club. Nick goes over what he saw after spying on training today and they quickly discuss Armando Mendez and the rumors around another Flamengo player. But most importantly, some of our Patreon members asked some very good questions for the guys to answer and give opinions on. For those who didn't ask questions, which was a lot of you, thank you for joining us for this type of podcast.
Oh and rants too!
Travis, Nate and Stephen have lots to talk about this week on the You Ain't Lion podcast. First, the newest rumor circulating around FC Cincinnati and their interest in current Newcastle U23 midfielder Kyle Scott. Does this move make sense for FCC? Each YAL member gives their thoughts and what it might mean for the macro picture. Frankie Amaya's trade request is still front and center and the guys give their final thoughts on what the club should do and is Kyle Scott related to this rumor as well? They touch on the most recent comments by The Athletic on the pursuit of former DC United and current Atlas FC midfielder Lucho Acosta. Finally, the guys give quick comments on the new kit teaser, the first YAL scarf and end the episode with some great rants. You don't want to miss the rants this week.
Nathan Hale and Stephen Buckeridge talk with Sam Stejskal from the Athletic and the Allocation Disorder podcast about the most pressing and important issues currently with MLS and FC Cincinnati. Everything from the acqusition of Brenner from Sao Paolo to the CBA ratification. Also, you don't want to miss the interesting little tidbit Sam graciously gives the guys. It could have major implications for not only the club currently but it's future and a player's future.
Travis, Nate and Stephen finally have some good news to talk about on the latest You Aint Lion episode. It's been a joyous past week for FC Cincinnati and its supporters and it seems to only be getting better. The guys discuss the newest member of the club, Brenner from Sao Paolo in the Brazilian Serie A. What could the club do next to possibly follow up the 3rd largest transfer in MLS history? Well, the confirmed interest in former Atlanta United midfielder Pity Martinez is certainly a nice follow up. Each YAL member has their own thoughts on Pity and now the newest rumored #10 in FCC's sights, former DC United midfielder Lucho Acosta. After the tidbit from Sam Stejskal in the interview episode, they take a look at what Frankie Amaya's future might be with the club and what that might mean for Pity and/or Lucho. Rants are a bit laid back this week because... well... optimism.
It's been a relatively quiet couple of weeks, outside of the Papu Gomez saga, and the guys are back to try and make some sense of it. MLS owners and players seem to be at each other's throat over the new CBA negotiations, is it really something to be worried about? Travis, Nate and Stephen give some optimistic takes about why they don't believe a work stoppage is in the future of the league. The fellas discuss the SuperDraft picks, their fit, their potential and how it might effect the roster decisions moving forward this off-season. Lastly, what's the future hold for Jurgen Locadia and the rest of this transfer window? Each YAL member breaks down what a potential Locadia move does to the club and why it's concerning the club has yet to sign anyone during the 2021 Winter Transfer Window. Oh, and rants, you'll want to stick around for those.
The OGs Travis and Nate are back and better than ever, debatable, and talk about the last couple of weeks. First, they go over each move made by FC Cincinnati so far in this off-season and discuss their impact or lack thereof on the squad. Next is everyone's favorite segment, Transfer Talk with Travis. Is Lincoln going to sign? Papu Gomez still an option? What about a DP 10? The guys tackle those issues and talk about what they hope happens with those situations and pursuits. Lastly, MLS released a new CBA offer and the guys talk about the ramifications and what it could mean for the league and FC Cincinnati. Oh... and rants!
An eventful past 24-48 hours and what may be a busy week in FC Cincinnati land has the three guys ready to talk silly season! Travis, Nate and Stephen are together again to discuss all the happenings and the what could happen in the next week.

For the final time in the 2020 season, Travis, Nate and Stephen discuss the current happenings in FC Cincinnati land.

They answer that question and more during TTT and breaking down where the holes in the roster are. The guys put a pretty bow on the season, the positives and negatives and finish off with the YAL rants, of course.
The usual trio of Travis, Nate and Stephen do a quick rundown of the loss against Atlanta United as Travis is officially lost. Some big news about roster turnover came out today and each of the guys give their thoughts on what that could mean for 2021 and how a delayed started to the 2021 season could effect the club.

Finally the guys touch on the latest Patreon article and end with rants.
Daryl Grove, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Stephen is back from pretending to be busy and sick to join Travis and Nate once again in their quest to be 1% less worse.

Travis and Nate are joined this week by YAL contributor Nick Marques who is filling in for the very busy Stephen Buckeridge.

Finally the guys preview the Union match and give their initial thoughts on the remaining MLS schedule for FC Cincinnati. Oh... and rated R rants!

Travis back after his week long Dutch getaway and is joined as always by Nathan Hale and Stephen Buckeridge. The three amigos talk about what was a less than stellar performance against the Crew, to say the least. Where does the club go from here with formation and tactics? The guys give their opinions on what they think the next step should be. Tranfer Talk with Travis is back with some potential profile fits for the next FC Cincinnati signing, they preview the NYCFC match on Saturday and for some reason Travis takes out Creighton.
Travis is gone this week, he's over in Holland having some beers with J-Dub and soaking up the sun on some Dutch beach. Nick Marques aka Karl fills in quite nicely for Travis though as we talk tons of FCC news and notes. From transfer talk, to the Fire match, the Crew match and previewing matches to come. You definitely don't want to miss this episode! Oh and of course rants.
The three of us are joined by Matt Shableman from Men In Red 97 and the future host of the Flaming Takes podcast covering the Chicago Fire and MLS.

The boys and I review the DC United match, talk about the officially official signing of CDM Kamohelo Mokotjo and the deal that's said to be done for Alvaro Barreal. Of course it wouldn't be a proper You Aint Lion podcast without Travis cussing, our rants and for some reason Travis taking out DePaul and Wake Forest.
The boys are back together and we dive right into the most pressing news of the last couple of days. We review the trade of Kekuta Manneh and Fatai Alashe and what they mean for the club's roster going forward. Of course we have to talk about transfer news with the emergency of rumors surrounding Kamohelo Mokotjo.

We give our predictions and keys to the match against DC United and why we are confident going into the game. Lastly, rants.
What a fun day it has been in FC Cincinnati land. We finish off the day by diving right into the fun day and discussing the newest information on Mario Gotze and why it's important to be linked with a high-profile player. The club seating situation at the new West End Stadium has been a hot topic so we give our opinions on what went wrong and what we hope comes of it. All three of us gives our consolidated predictions on the first set of regular season matches staring August 21st. Finally, of course we have some rants, it's time to hash things out and let's all get along.
Stephen is out this week, so Nathan and myself review what positives we took from the MLS is Back Tournament and what we hoped would carry over in the regular season. There were still some negatives about FC Cincinnati's play so we break those down a little as well. Transfer talk with Travis is apparently a new segment so we discuss Tyler Blackett, Mario Gotze and what direction we see the club going in during the summer window. Of course had to plug the Patreon and give our rants but also joining us was Laurel Pfahler from WCPO.com.
What a time to be a FC supporter! Coming off another tactical masterclass against NYRB, the three of us dive in to review the match that sent us to the knockout stage. Portland is up next, so we preview the match, discuss how the Timbers could cause issues for FC and give our match predictions. Of course, we finish off with our rants about the "cancel the tournament" trend, Covid-19 testing and competition.
The three of us are BACK! Off my somewhat relaxing vacation, we dive into some transfer "targets" we'd like to see the club pursue that also fit the profile what club needs. The three of us dive into what happened in the Atlanta match and why we were impressed with Jaap Stam. Finally, we preview tomorrow's match with the New Jersey, err New York Red Bulls and end of course, with our rants.
This week we are joined by two special guests. First, we have Stephen Buckeridge who has covered FC Cincinnati for a couple different outlets including the O&B Press, he joins us for the entire show. We also start off the show by talking to our friend and favorite goalkeeper, Bobby Edwards. He tells us about training under Jaap Stam, what it's like in Orlando and his feelings surrounding what Fatai Alashe and Joe Gyau discussed in their podcast interview. All three of us discuss a couple of transfer targets, the roster as it currently stands and dive deep into the racial tension and club response.
We are back at it guys. Nate and I discuss the pressing news of the last two weeks. We cover the FC Cincinnati pending lawsuit against Premier and dive into the MLS is Back tournament. I go into the rumor mill just a little bit and discuss what I'm hearing in regards to the allocation spot, a possible trade in Florida and some possible targets. Finally right after our rants, we talk to the one and only... Janwatze Nijkamp aka JW aka Lil' Nijkamp.
Finally we get some good news regarding MLS coming back! We dive into the tournament in Orlando and the not so random group drawing. I discuss with Nate the transfer possibilities and we have some breaking news regarding the Jurgen Locadia situation. Plus can't forget our rants!
Nate and I talk about the hiring of Jaap Stam being made official, mention potential targets and dig a little deeper on the Mario Gotze possibility. We go over what we expect from the MLS tournament in Orlando now and in the future. Nate talks a little more about Nashville SC and I rant on Cincinnati sports fan mentality and discuss a social issue within FC Cincinnati supporters.
Nate and I are back at it this week after 3 weeks off. We dive into what seems to be the imminent hire of Jaap Stam and just what if Alan Pardew were the new manager. Both of us give our takes on the Bundesliga starting back up and what MLS can hope to learn from it. Lastly, we talk about the new stadium and the ticket prices that were released and of course we have rants!
We talk a little bit about the ongoing manager search and our hopes for the rest of the MLS season should it resume. We are joined by writer Tom Bogert and newest FC Cincinnati goal keeper Bobby Edwards. Can't forget our rants about the city, FC Cincinnati and life without sports.
Myself and Nate talk a little more about the possibility of Dom Torrent being the next manager and discuss Locadia and his current loan situation. We throw some names around as wish list players in the summer window and re-do the 2018 expansion draft.
Myself and Nate takes your questions from Twitter regarding Locadia's loan situation, MLS scheduling and the ongoing manager search and how the news of today effects those things. Of course the rants, but this episode is a glass half full look at the next 30 days. Hang in there FCC supporters, everything is going to be alright, unless it's not, then it won't... but also it might.
Tonight we are joined by a very special guest, none other than Alexi Lalas. The USMNT legend, Fox Soccer analyst and host of his own podcast (State of the Union) gives us a national perspective on FC Cincinnati, USMNT and the future of MLS. We also review the match against NYRB last Sunday, look forward to the Atlanta United match Saturday and talk about how close we are to naming a new manager.
Nate and I give our predictions for the MLS season in both conferences, along with our FC Cincinnati predictions for the 2020 campaign. We also preview the New York Red Bulls match Sunday and give our some pre-season awards. Don't forget our weekly rants!
Nate and I discuss the recent resignation of Ron Jans, the circumstances surrounding it and possible replacements. We stick up for Darren a little bit but then discuss his legal issues and future with the club. Some Siem De Jong good news and we point out what's likely to be the starting XI on match day 1. Rants were strong and fresh this week!
Nate and I talk to Sam Stejskal from the Athletic in what was a fun and informative conversation. We dive into what we can expect from the 4-3-3 with Dutch tactics and how that might effect rumored target Siem De Jong. Nate educated on the CCL and we discuss what we liked hearing about the pre-season friendly.
Nate and Travis talk about the signings of DP striker Jurgen Locadia and winger Adrien Regattin. We dive into what the tactics may look like with and without a DP 10/attacking midfielder. With the new CBA being done today, we try our best to sort through the changed portions of the new collective bargaining agreement. Lastly, we end with some nicer toned rants because well, it's been a good week.
Nate and I discuss what went wrong with Bobby Wood, the excitement around the possible addition of Jurgen Locadia and much more. Plus we are joined by Cincinnati Soccer Talks Bryan Weigel, to discuss the off-season and a little but about the current roster and pre-season.
We put to rest the Gaston Pereiro mess, discuss the recent departures and the loan addition in the last week. We also take a look at the current roster and what we obviously still need to add. The rants are a mainstay and this one Travis gets a little angry and Nate makes fun of Adidas.
We discuss all things Gaston, make our predictions on the rest of the off-season and discuss Zico Bailey and Saad Abdul-Salaam. Plus find out what we are ranting on this week!
Myself (Travis Grimes) and Nathan Hale launch our first episode by talking a little about the 2019 season and look forward to the 2020 FC Cincinnati season. We talk about the newest FC Cincy signing and go over a couple additions made earlier this offseason. Jeff Rueter from the Athletic joins us as well.
