Views From The Bridge
119 episodes - English - Latest episode: 8 months ago - ★★★★★ - 20 ratingsWe’re four Union fans. We’ve been plying our trade for various outlets for many years separately and now we’re setting up shop for ourselves. The backstory of who we are and why we do it isnt super important. What matters is that we’re four union fans that have followed this club and this organization for a while. We’ve seen the good (Vincent Nogueira, Borek Dockal, USOC Finals) and the bad (Rais Mbohli, the end of those USOC finals). We’ve seen the Academy/Bethlehem/Union pipeline and we all hate Red Bull. We have opinions and more importantly we have banter. We’re Paul Catrino Chuck Booth, Evan Villella and Justin Ashcraft and together we make up Views From The Bridge. #VFTB
