Lomonty Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 "Like Afghanistan bombed out and depleted" That would have been the best way I to describe our back 4 coming to the end of WCQ. What a diffence 6 months make. Been so impressed with the youth coming up in the that area of the team Hanualt and Dejan have looked impressive for club and country. Add the likes of Nana and Edgar who IMO our national team ready and the lot keeps getting deeper and more talented. I changed the title, now stop hating on a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 MOD POST: Lomonty, I appreciate your enthusiasm, however, comparing our back 4 with the horrors of the war in Afghanistan is simply inappropriate. In the future please refrain from such comparisons. If there are any protestations from V members I will edit the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 It's actually a reference to Chapelle's Show Season 1 (so everyone knows that) , but I imagine for some it might hit a little too close to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Jakovic, Edgar, Hainault, Ledgerwood, Nana, Straith, de Jong we are lookin real good for 2014. only question is how long can Stalteri, McKenna and Serioux hang onto to their spots. Kluka is still safe tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 my only prob is that one doesn't know this thread is about our Defenders, going by the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCRegina Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I didn't find this offensive at all. Reality is reality, and similes are part of the language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 MOD POST: Considering all the other available options it was a poor comparison. Let's change the thread title and let's move this thread back on track to the discussion of our back line I think many people agree that our back 4 look much stronger than they did in WCQ. Jakovic has been a huge addition in the middle, McKenna's return has been timely, Klukowski is still playing great, and even Stalteri looks better at right back. We also have a lot of other options in deJong, Hainault, Edgar, Peters and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HamiltonSteelers Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I tend to agree that the thread title was misleading. Almost afraid to see what that was the lead-in to. But once the Chappelle reference was offered up, I want to go watch the player hater's ball sketch again... I know it's not an election, but I think a thread retitling (is that a word?) isn't out of the question. That being said, the back four have looked amazing. This side is world cup worthy, even though we know that won't be the case this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Man, we're quoting Dave Chappelle now? Geesh, on a Canadian board too. Maybe it'll be best to change the thread title, at least not to offend my nephew who served our country there. His stories are much more revealing about Afghanistan.

bettermirror Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Nice reference to Chappelle! But ya, the thread title wasn't really appropriate. Anyway... Ya, the back 4 looks potentially very good. I can see Jakovic moving on to bigger and better things! Wonder how long before TFC offer him a spot from DCU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
