Apologies for contributing to the derailment. Yep. It's one of the most interesting North American cryptids but it doesn't get the ink shitty cryptids (like the chupacabra) get because it's Canadian based.

matty Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Also our man at Southampton is staying on. They still are the number 1 contender to be the European team to own a club here right? http://www.eatsleepsport.com/southampton/krueger-staying-at-saints-2266470.html#.WPljTfnyvIU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're billing the game as the "Battle of Ontario" “It’s a crucial game,” said Fury FC captain Lance Rozeboom. “We want to make sure that they know that this is a tough game to come to and also because it is Toronto, we want to make sure, with our fans, that we establish the fact that we are the better team. Ottawa-Toronto is a rivalry, so you have to win those games. It’s important.” http://www.ottawafuryfc.com/news_article/show/782250?referrer_id=2995102 There's nothing wrong with this in a traditional sense it's just really fucking lame.

matty Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Got bored so decided to see who the Ottawa Fury follow on Twitter. Surprisingly, in the middle of all the sports related things, community projects and local folk they follow is Alison Brie for some reason. My guess: the Fury has a crush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheo Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Listened to Paul Beirne on Soccer Today pod from yesterday. 99% about the Brighton promotion and a bit of TFC history talk. At the end Rollins said something like "hopefully we'll have something to talk about in the next month" to which Beirne laughed and said "You resisted the urge. Canadian Premier League, it's coming" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Oh yeah, totally lame. Promoting your team and a match your team is going to play totally smacks of effort, man. I hope when the CPL comes along they can just post the schedule on a piece of paper on each stadium and then not bore us with marketing. Or if they are going to market it have headlines like "Winnipeg plays Calgary on Sunday, you should go, or don't, whatever, we don't even care". Or "Regina vs Saskatoon, just another team, not that important" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Anyone who's acting like "oh everyone call this lame is a dick and or idiot" really needs to chill. Everyone understands promotion and people think this is a lame ploy. No one is saying "they shouldn't be doing that", they're simply saying "man that's a lame tactic" and it is.
