DJT Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Guidelines for this thread In this thread post match updates on all Canadians abroad for May 18-24, 2012. 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.

nolando Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Nimes, with Haidar riding shotgun, won a critical match 2-0 vs Le Poire Sur Vie. Nimes are leading France's third tier and have now officially promoted to Ligue 2: http://www.nimes-olympique.com/20120515588/news-professionnels/la-ligue-2-cest-maintenant.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 ^ With one match left in the season it looks likely that Haidar will finish the season with 15 starts as the second keeper to Merville. Decent contribution to a successful season. His contract runs out at the end of June so let's see if Nimes values him still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oranje Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 In Romania, CFR drew Steaua 1-1 while Vaslui defeated Universitatea 1-0. Vaslui would keeps 2nd place and a Champions League birth. Borjan gets his usual nod to round out the season and earned his 7th clean sheet in 15 appearances. Vaslui were perfect since they bowed out of the Romanian Cup with 9 straight wins. Also in Switzerland, Josh Simpson played 69 min as YB defeated last place Sion 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in Switzerland, Josh Simpson played 69 min as YB defeated last place Sion 3-0 Was this not Borjan's 5th straight clean sheet? Or did I get that wrong?

Oranje Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 No, last week the score against Otelul Galati was 2-1 for Vaslui. He managed a clean sheet almost every 2nd game he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addona Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Simpson gets the start in the final game of the season as they take on league leaders Basel. Hmmm, subbed out before half-time ... did Simpson get injured? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danninho Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hmmm, subbed out before half-time ... did Simpson get injured? :eek: Didn't see the extent of the injury, but he was taken off on a stretcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh boy, not good news (from FC Basel match tracker in german): Injury - Joshua Simpson Nasty injury to Simpson, who turned upon landing after a header probably has the leg. The Bayern players have immediately called for the nurses. Josh set up his teams goal with a one-two passing play to spring the scorer Costanzo in on net. Our chances in WCQ just took a turn in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosawa1555362267 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 According to the club's Twitter feed it's probably a fractured leg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yep, would ruled him out for around 12 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyb Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hart's looking like a genius for picking Issey now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ouch! De Jong and Simpson out hurts... my guess is that De Rosario is given the left wing spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamonty Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Kenny Stamatopoulos got the clean sheet last night in AIK (stockholm)'s win versus GAIS (Gothenburg). AIK scored in the 90th minute and with the win are now 3rd in the table with 21pts (5W-6D-1L). I believe this was Kenny's 4th straight start since the injury to no1 keeper Ivan Turina. Interestingly enough, Turina was apparently fit to play in last night's contest but Stama was given the start. Good news and another keeper in good form for the CMNT...

madmonte Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 6th straight start, and agreed! Although I'm still personally liking Borjan, we definitely have form depth at keeper right now. May 2 Helsingborg 0-0 AIK May 8 AIK 1-1 Djurgarden May 13 Elfsborg 1-0 AIK May 16 Orebro SK 2-2 AIK May 20 AIK 5-2 IFK Norrkoping May 24 AIK 1-0 GAIS 2 clean sheets, 2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss, and 6 goals let in, in 6 games. Not bad! Borjan to compare got loaned to Vaslui Feb 23rd of this year. He started all 19 games after getting loaned. 14 wins 4 losses 1 draw 7 clean sheets 17 goals against (same GAA as Kenny) However in Borjan's last 9 games he is 9-0-0 with 5 clean sheets and only 5 goals let in. Great form. With Hirschfield our usual guy, Hart has some choices to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll add AIK to the promotion/relegation thread as they are currently in a Europa League position with 19 games remaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
