mianjo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Good to see the Fury had 7 subs for todays game, even though it did include the 2 academy lads, Timbo on the bench so maybe he is almost ready to return, Stewart,Mwanga and Eustaquio came on in the 2nd half for Olivera, Williams and Dixon. final score 1-1 Stewart scoring for the Fury, Att. 6139. Game stopped in the 83rd min for lightning, 35 min delay. Strange that Peiser has been on the bench the last 2 games and DeBellis has started.

Zem Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Paul Dalglish is going to be doing a live Q&A on the Ottawa Fury Facebook page this Wednesday at noon in case anyone might be interested in watching or contributing. https://www.facebook.com/OttawaFuryFC/photos/a.496691347061745.115560.479606558770224/1181778188553054/?type=3&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Obasi, Porter, Timbo and Bruna are all back in training according to Dalglish on his AMA. Bruna, Obasi and Porter will still take a little while to regain fitness since they've been out so long, but "most of them" should be on the bench Friday. By process of elimination Haworth, Balchan, Venter, de Guzman and Gyorio will still be out a while longer (as we knew already for the most part). He didn't comment on the timeline for those five players' return. Other highlights include his comments on recruiting Canadian players, saying that he believes that because of the lack of domestic opportunities the club has a "duty" to give Canadian players a chance if they're good enough. He also praised Julian's role in promoting the club in this regard. Also, Paul says the club is in talks and are under the understanding that Pablo Dyego will return next season, though he did not specify if it will be permanent move or another loan deal. Apparently Dyego is very interested in returning. The possibility of Bryan Olivera returning is unclear, no talks have occurred yet, and apparently Bryan has a European passport and ambitions to play there but the club would obviously like to have him back if he's interested, according to PD.

Zem Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Good news: Obasi, Mwanga and Haworth are all back on the bench for Ottawa tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianjo Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Obasi came on for about 5 mins and Haworth about 12 mins in Fury`s bizare 0-0 draw tonight with Puerto Rico. Peisar the star with 2 or 3 great save including a great save in last minute but he could`nt stop the free kick which gave Puerto a 1-0 lead but the ref could and did by saying the free kick was indirect and not direct. He gave out a number of yellow cards when players kicked the ball away after a fk was given. Players were falling down all over the field and water was spraying up in a number of places game temp was 94f. It seemed a lot of Fury players were pulling out of tackles or headers and making very poor passes, against a better team they would and should be punished for this. Edwards has`nt been the same the last few games and was subbed tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Gerardo Bruna returns to the bench tonight, but Williams and Dixon are not in the 18. According to Fury facebook Williams, Dixon and Mwanga are all out with a virus, Olivera on the bench but not 100% for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianjo Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Caolina 0 Fury 0 Olivera did come on but was red carded in the last few mins, again bad reffing ruined this game, both teams should have had penalties, but both teams really missed golden opportunities, especially Stewart missed a open goal.

Zem Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 According to Dalglish's interview on TSN 1200 last Tuesday, Bruna and Porter will both be available for selection this weekend. Ottawa will have more than 18 players available for the first time since the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optimistic take on that is that they're sitting out for a year to limit their losses before joining CPL in 2018. And it's so worrying if that's the optimistic take.

Ansem Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/football/cfl/above-my-pay-grade-fury-players-say-over-rumours-about-teams-future The NASL comprises a collection of 12 independent franchises, while USL has a mix of independents and affiliates of MLS clubs, such as the academy squads of the Vancouver Whitecaps, Montreal Impact and Toronto FC. Postmedia reported three weeks ago that franchise owner Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group expected to lose as much as $2 million on Fury FC operations this year even though the club ranks fourth in the NASL in attendance with an average of 5,632, a figure published by the website SoccerStadiumDigest. OSEG’s only comment about the situation remains a statement issued after an initial wave of rumours about USL in early September. It offered a commitment that Fury FC would continue operations in 2017, but made no mention at all about which league it would be in. “Ottawa Fury is an NASL franchise and a league member in good standing,” the Sept. 1 statement said. “Over the last three seasons, Fury has forged strong ties with Ottawa/Gatineau soccer associations and the community at large and those efforts, combined with Fury’s high calibre of play, have established a growing fan base for professional soccer in our region. Our long-term focus is on gaining even greater fan support, this season and in future seasons. …” So they could go to USL and exit when CPL starts. The problem is, won`t they even have less attendance by playing in USL? Wouldn`t they have to let go of players that earn NASL salaries or will they keep them and thrashed all the other teams?

Sure they would get somewhat less attendance, but I doubt it would be that much difference. About the other players, look at the team last year, most of the players from last serason were sold during the offseason. It could happen again this year. USL would not have trips in Oklahoma or in the West hell even Edmonton. It's probably cheaper to go to Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
