Guidelines for this thread [*]In this thread post match updates on all Canadians abroad for October 6-12, 2006. [*]If you find updates posted in some other thread or on the other Voyageurs forum then post them here as well, but be sure to credit the original poster. [*]If there is news that is particularly significant (eg. someone scores a big goal, someone gets injured, etc.) then feel free to begin a new thread on that topic in order to draw greater attention or start a discussion, but also post that news here. [*]Some comments on news posted in this thread are okay, but let's not let this thread go off into a long discussion. If the news already appears in another thread (as per the previous bullet) then post your comments in that other thread, otherwise if you want to say something significant or if it is likely to generate replies then begin a new thread.

Loud Mouth Soup Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Simon Rayner rode the pine tonight as Lincoln defeated Hartlepool 2-0. Simeon Jackson came on in the 81st and failed to net as Rushden & Diamonds drew 2-2 with Stevenage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DeRo didn't start because the match didn't have any playoff/standings implications. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhat Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Joe Keeper why the heck couldnt we call him and serioux up for the jamaica game then? I know what you mean, but Houston wouldn't release either player during this playoff stretch. Neither would LA do the same for Jazic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Keeper Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 quote:Originally posted by redhat I can appreciate their logic to a point, but the thing that real confusses me is if MLS (our future league) teams are doing this with our players, what is going to happen when away frienlies role around with TFC? If they have a similar attitude, whats the real point in all this besides the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think the CSA will have to lobby hard for the MLS to honour international dates or at the very least to schedule Toronto games around international dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a similar attitude, whats the real point in all this besides the stadium? Agreed with your concern. MLS teams can oppose these call-ups when it suits them as they don't really follow the international dates. Quite similar to CCC and lower divisions. While FIFA can FORCE the teams to release them, the CSA prefers to work around a compromise so that the players can be available for WCQ, when it really matters. That's why a "Plan B" of a bigger pool of players, and lots of friendlies would provide better options. As for TFC, it would be better PR for them to release its Canadian stars for the MNT. Whether they do it remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Unless the MLS honours the FIFA international calendar, the release of players will always be a problem or sore point. That is the main issue, not whether the CSA should demand the release of players or negotiate on an individual basis. The MLS is not "men's team friendly" in this regard and will not be until they shut down on "international weeks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Will Johnson scored again today for the Heerenveen reserves and played 90 minutes as they came from behind 3-2 late to win 5-3 against FC Groningen. http://www.sc-heerenveen.nl/web/show/id=42457/contentid=3964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is usually in regards to a spot on the team and travelling, both elements which would be reduced in the case of TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottoddy7 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Looks like Will was playing midfield in a 4-3-3. I thought he was a striker, but I believe he has been playing mid for the u-20's as well, has a switch been made? (Is this off topic?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly isn't any less on-topic than ranting about MLS releasing players. Anyway, the last 4 or 5 match reports I've seen from the Heerenveen reserves have listed Johnson in the same position and referred to him as "middenvelder". I think it is probably the right spot for him, as he doesn't strike me as a pure striker, but still needs to be in the middle of the pitch, making things happen.
