As of today, the sites associated with Musk & Trump have been added to our domain blacklist, X has become increasingly hateful, toxic and less and less moderated. Truth Social also is considered a hateful and unsafe place for many of our supporters. Given Musk’s actions on Monday, it's clear it's action is required. Beyond Musk giving two Nazi salutes, he has repeatedly amplified harmful rhetoric and interacted with accounts promoting Nazi ideology, raising serious questions about Twitter’s role in spreading hate and extremism.

As shared by other subreddits across reddit, we try our best to stay neutral and apolitical, we do not believe taking a stance against Nazi symbolism is or should be a political issue. Hate speech and the promotion of it has never been tolerated in our community.

The most important aspect to our Valour FC subreddit is to be inclusive, safe and ensure every supporter feels welcome to engage and join our community. This is reflective of the stance of Red River Rising, the club and league itself and should be of no surprise to anyone.

As I'm sure most people have seen, most subreddits are blocking Twitter/X. I would like to suggest we do it here as well.

Highlights Valour FC has exercised its 2025 option on defender Themi Antonoglou’s contract.

Goalkeeper Darlington Murasiranwa, defender Tass Mourdoukoutas, midfielder Juan Pablo Sanchez, midfielder Zachary Sukunda and striker Jordan Swibel will not return.

The club has elected not to exercise options for strikers Abdul Binate and Loic Kwemi, though it remains in conversation with both players about potential returns.

Now that it’s 2025, is PDS still in charge? Not a peep on any media channels I could find. Interestingly the technical staff page on Valour’s website is 404.

And just to start a discussion, my opinion if they will be on the roster opening day 2025:

• Jonathan Viscosi - Yes
• Roberto Alarcón - No
• Themi Antonoglou - Yes
• Dante Campbell - Yes
• Jordan Faria - No
• Raphael Ohin - Yes (although I think he should not be)
• Abdul Binate - Yes
• Loic Kwemi - Yes
• Jordan Swibel - No (although I would love for him to get resigned)
• Gianfranco Facchineri - Yes
• Darlington Murasiranwa - No
• Tass Mourdoukoutas - Yes
• Marcello Polisi - No
• Juan Pablo Sanchez - No

I know not everyone is in the RRR Facebook group but there’s a kegger for end of season on Friday, at Elephant & Castle at 7:30pm. Figured I’d throw that out to people.

Highs, lows, anecdotes, players, predictions?

In my eyes this says it all regarding VFC. The opportunity is there, the execution is flawed.

Hello, not my words but just reposting for others:

To address the Trench protest during the fan appreciation game:

1. When we were discussing logistics of smoke with the club after moving the trench to 141 last season, we were told the club would provide a smoke bomb per “event” (1 for walkout, 1 for each goal, 1 in the event of a win) and all other smoke would be purchased by us. They did not give us a limit on how much smoke we could use, just that we had to purchase additional smoke ourselves. Today they told us we used too much smoke as it was hitting the office windows (yknow, on the side nobody sits on?)

2. We had our Winnie the Pooh banner up like we have for EVERY cavs game since 2019 and it has never been an issue. Even the foot soldiers think it’s hilarious, and everyone knows it all in good fun. But today, the last game of the 6th season, it was an issue and we were told we had to take it down. Talk about appreciation! So we made the decision to packed up all of our banners. That led to packing up our flags, and eventually making the decision to pack up the drums. After that we dispersed. Members of the trench work their butts off every single game setting up the trench, bringing the traditional footy atmosphere to game day, keeping the drums and songs going to let the players know we’re behind them…and on fan appreciation day they decide to go back on things we’ve arranged or done without issue for 6 years?

I appreciate every single one of you who comes to the game and brings the noise. I’m sorry the club couldn’t show us the same. They can bite me.

I do have to give praise to the few staff that tried to make our game day great, and who voiced their support and understanding to us today! There were a couple! We see you, we appreciate you!! Especially our Trench Liaison, Brandon!

So with all the on field drama of today's game, what was with the trench very noticeably vacating their section?

That Valour go into their final home match of the CPL season with the chance to clinch a playoff place?

It's going to be fun hoping to win and then agonizing or delighting over goals scored elsewhere as the final four matches play out. A bit of Final Day excitement for once! I wonder if it will bring out a big crowd.

I am looking to take my three year old kid to a Valour game this weekend, does he get in free or does he have to get a youth ticket?

I couldn’t find any info online. Thanks!

It is hard to believe that Valour are still alive in the playoff race because opportunity's knuckles must be red raw from knocking at Valour's door without answer. But here we are, and this really is Last Chance Saloon. Win and we are a point behind Pacific with three to play, two at home. Lose and it is finally over. What say you, Valour?
