Your idea works too though Or unveil a big Canadian flag in the stands with "Ballou" written on it. @Unnamed Trialist's choice Better yet, start whispering to all the fans that Tabla is know as "El canadiense".

We play at home this weekend but I doubt he even dresses, is not on form and hasn't trained with them yet. Away next week to Córdoba, home again Feb 10 to Alcorcón, good day. I needed a new flag anyways and they are cheap online. How about this from Canada: send him real postcards from home, physical objects. Via the club.

Kent Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 2 hours ago, BuzzAndSting said: So for those arguing that we should have cap tied BT earlier let's look at the timeline, and of course this is under the assumption that he would have accepted a call to the MNT at any point before OZ started talking to him. Nov 10 2015 - BT signs with FC Montreal. Nov 13 2015 - CanMNT beat Honduras 1-0 in Vancouver. Nov 17 2015 - CanMNT tie El Salvador away 0-0. Sep 2 2016 - CanMNT lose to Honduras away 1-2. Sep 6 2016 - CanMNT beat El Salvador 3-1 in Vancouver. Oct 20 2016 - BT signs first professional contract. July 7 2016 - GC begins, OZ states that BT has refused a call up to the MNT. So when should we have called him? When would have you cap tied him? Before November 2015, when he was still an amateur play club soccer as a 15 year old? You missed the March 2016 games against Mexico, but your point still stands. BuzzAndSting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't change the fact that cap tying a 16 year old amateur youth player in a crucial WCQ match would make our program look like more of a joke than it already is.

I never said anything bad on Herdman other than he won’t have the resources he was used to w the women and that CSA handled the firing poorly. Chilax. What no one is allowed to bring solutions to this problem. Fine stick w the status quo. See how far that’ll take us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
