He thinks it'll be a better environment and also likes the idea of potentially playing in the CCL.

What a fucking joke. At some point (and I think that point was crossed a while ago), doubling down on their "with us or against us" strategy seems pretty goddamn dumb. If nothing else, this sort of sophomoric bullshit only reinforces the idea of choosing a CPL team over the Fury. But, you know, keep throwing stones. Lol. shamrock and Chad_Impact 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This is hilarious. You only want players who want to be a part of your club? Soooooo you don't want Messi? Or more realistically, a guy who's unsure about whether to sign with your club or another, you don't want him? I can just picture JdG sitting with a player and agent to negotiate, contract in hand, when the agent says "Actually we've an offer from another club and we're interested." JdG stands up, grabs the contract, rips it in half and yells "GET OUT! WE ONLY WANT PLAYERS THAT WANT TO BE A PART OF OUR CLUB!" aloyol, king1010, El Hombre and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’m sorry he can try to be like oh we didn’t want him but we all onow that’s not true. That’s just embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If he's an employee of the team, he should just keep quiet rather than make any "thank god we didn't sign him"-type noises. deschamp86 and shamrock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 What a joke?? He has smart things to say about Choinere but has a poll on his twitter all excited about which TFC player is coming to town. Try a little professionalism if you are the head of communications for OSEG. You dont have to respond to every twitter comment like a teenager.

He does colour commentary for their YouTube broadcasts now, which he is terrible at because he doesn't actually know very much about soccer. And, much like their play-by-play commentator AJ Jakubec, he prefers to talk about US college sports and hockey on broadcast rather than the game he's supposed to be commentating. He's just a clueless management type who pretends to be relevant. Shway and shamrock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If he works for TSN then why is he acting like a homer for Ottawa?? Cripes I hope the guys doing the CPL broadcasts can stay out of petty twitter wars. Ottawa are going to get players from TFC and Impact, they shouldnt be shitting on the ones that choose to go elsewhere. Ottawa isnt the only game in town anymore. shamrock and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed 2/3 of a good game as I caught the last 30 minutes, but it's a testament to the piss-poor media coverage for this game that I had no idea these matches were even being played (I thought I had read all Concacaf matches were on hold until at least December). If the hard core fans have trouble hearing about the games, it's a sign that we still have a long way to go with the media for the CPL teams.

Because OneSoccer, Canada Soccer, CONCACAF and various other places were advertising the game on TSN3 I found about it last week when it came on my feed and was reminded numerous times today about the date and time...

I'm talking about mainstream media coverage (none of the above examples count as such in my view). For example, even though TSN broadcast the game, I saw no mention of this fact on their own website or their Sportscentre telecasts and as of 90 minutes after the game has ended, I can't find a match report on their website. Edit: Just found one, but only because I went digging for it in the soccer section, it's not on their main page..

It is easy to miss/forget games like this. I wish we had some sort of mechanism that alerted folks to any ongoing (or imminent) game by a Canadian team. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
