Think the issues comes from he horses being an all day event. People come and go at random times. Today everyone showed up in that same time frame. You would think with their experience in putting on events they could have predicted this however. youllneverwalkalone, Gopherbashi and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 So far all matches have started at their announced start times, or in the case of Halifax yesterday, a few minutes early! I know at IGF yesterday fans were still filing in well after kick-off. I think it will take some time for fans, especially casuals, to unlearn the North American way when a 7pm start really means 7:08, and the like, as is common in other sports. johnyb and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be that "sky is falling" guy after game one, but holy shit they need to get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but oddly One Soccer screwed up the starting time for the Valour home debut, putting it at 2 am continental Europe (it is still that way on the schedule). Even taking into account Atlantic time zone it makes no sense to be 2 hours wrong. I really did not need to see it anyways, I watched the finale of the second season of Trapped, the Icelandic series (which I highly recommend!!).

I don't understand the CPLs reasoning behind this. It is not like they have strict television time commitments to stick to. What is wrong with allowing that 5-8 minute buffer?

Macksam Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 My take on the quality of play after the league's first 6 games: it's still good. My only issue is I have occasionally seen players get dispossessed way too easily, sometimes even when the challenge is coming from behind where basic shielding would have prevented it. That is unacceptable for a professional. Hopefully the coaches drill this criticism into the players and how there will be zero tolerance and instant substitutions going forward if it happens again.

That Halifax one irritated me a bit. I signed on at like 6:59 to watch the 7:00 game and I had already missed a minute or two. I'm all for punctuality, but really they shouldn't be starting early.

masster Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Wanderers and Cavalry both had a full bench for their road matches this weekend, while Pacific did not. So it seems as though this is not a league mandate, but down to specific teams or injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Apps and sites giving life info and updates are now directly tied to betting activity. I was not so direct even 10 years ago, now it is. If a line is being given on a result, you need the result. If you are getting odds on when goals are scored, you need live live updates. If it is on who scores, you need full line-ups and changes as well. I have no idea if Canadians bet on CPL, but some here have posted about Canadian betting activity being high, I have no idea. Which would suggest that it may garner interest from betting agencies and that will drive better quality update sites and apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
