superbrad Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 How the hell am I going to get up for this game? Anyone have any ideas - I just cant do it. How many drinks will it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The guys that are going have to give it their all. The one positive has been the support. It's still critical that people who have tickets go and support these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Since 1985 following this team has been one disappointment after another with one two-week interuption in 2000. This is business as usual. People constantly complain we never have home friendlies. Well if nothing else this is that and against a very good team to boot. This is a chance to watch a very good soccer team play against our boys. So here's Edmonton. A chance to watch Canada play soccer, meet some new people, sing our hearts out and support the lads. You shouldn't need a better reason than that. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm almost glad that we're mathematically out. That means that instead of chewing our fingernails and obsessing over every touch of the ball, we can just get wasted and enjoy a carnival-like atmosphere on Wednesday. Taking the piss out of Sven for 90 minutes will be a great laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The real question is: who is going to play in Edmonton? Do you start Jakovic instead of McKenna? Do you start Wagenaar instead of Lars? I just think that DDR is not getting on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 If you live in Alberta look at it this way. Go on Wednesday because in all likelihood we won't get another WCQ match. In 4 years Saputo and BMO will be first rate grass surfaces that the players will love. It will be closer for the majority of players and the Toronto fans have shown that they can give a real home field advantage to our team. They will get all the games. See you there on Wednesday. Wear red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somewhere down there at pitch level a player in red is going to look up into the Vs Section and be completely bewildered. Completely beside themselves from the love raining down on them. And I'm good with that. Tuesday morning I'm going to Thomas Hindes and buy some victory cigars. And Wednesday night with the snow coming down around me I'm going to sit on the patio at Sherlock Holmes and smoke one with a smug little smile on my face. We will be back. And then you're gonna get it! Allez les Rouges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could have had the week off, I'd have joined you for the match (and spent some time touring the province as well). db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbital Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 precisely why i didnt buy tickets for this one, i knew we'd already be toast, why take a hit to my pcket book as well as my dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodfern2007 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Well,unfortunately I will not be there in person. But for those of you who will be, I would like all of you to do two things. One, support the players as you have always done, and two scream and hurl all kinds of abuse towards the CSA for this fiasco, with banners and black shirts reading CSA OUT. And if Mitchel is still in charge, hurl some of that abuse his way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbrad Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks to you guys for some perspective. I've had a night to sleep on it. Beating Mexico in Edmonton and watching them freeze their nuts off will be pleasure enough. We need a chant that compares the wearing of gloves to the wearing of panties.

BrennanFan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 There is pride to be won and lost with each game, whether we are out or not. Support the boys. An Anti Mitchell Banner is a Must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Cut loose and have some fun. Display our new Voyageurs banner with pride. And yes, I mean that. There has been no mistaking our presence across Canada these past three matches. The Voyageurs have been the only positive this campaign, and I think even the CSA would admit that (in fact, they have). Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, it doesn't matter. The red wedge is there regardless of location in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
