I think that is a real game changer in Canadian soccer. For those of us who were around to see the damage that the "Ho" defection caused and be subjected to ridiculous posts that said it would be the best thing for Canadian soccer, it really is a ray of sunshine. I will give full credit to him for helping turn that around and it couldn't have been an easy task. Corazon, Northvansteve and red card 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a bit easier than it had been with all the rumors and eventual announcement of the WC hosting gig. Thats a pretty sweet carrot to dangle in front of the current crop of teenagers (Davies/Tabla/Millar/David/Busti/ZBG) some of whom we might have lost in previous cycles. dyslexic nam, Corazon and Keegan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Herdman think he is leading a group of badass cartel soldiers? I guess at least Eustaquio is playing in the right country for that but it looks ridiculous. Still other than that a nice video and a promising player to get a commitment from. As much as I am critical of the Herdman hire and some of the things he has done I will give credit where credit is due and he is doing a good job getting guys to commit to the team. Crossing arms is not lawyers, or real estate agents, or Herdman's footballers. It is photographers and film producers trying to figure out what to do with hands, nothing more. Though it is true, profs never pose like that because we use our hands to think. I thought it was a nice video and it is good to here his voice and his take on things, if he's proud, I am just as proud, though I've never seen him play.

Methinks you have your sarcasm radar turned off. I spent 10 years in TV and in my early days we were amused by seeing how many ways a newspaper photographer could show a cheque presentation without the traditional holding the giant cheque between two people and shaking hands. The arms folded was one of those stereotypes like only showing a pretty girl in the stands as a cutaway shot. Cliche stuff that pros stayed away from. But as was said I spose it's some sort of gangsta pretending cliche now and a stock shot to take but hopefully not overuse. I still remember being thrown into news (from production) and not having a clue. Thankfully a guy helped me out by telling me there were seven stock shots you could take at any news conference that would get you enough to decently piece together a story.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This is how the American understand the image of competent leadership, by focusing attention towards an objective that is not in the frame. I like these because they all do it, and even when there is no one there, they could be pointing at a woodshed.

Joe MacCarthy Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 ^^So true about the politicians, especially if you are being heckled. Pretend to see someone you know in the crowd and smile and point and wave. Or eliminate the middleman altogether and wave to no one in this classic episode. johnyb and jpg75 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arguing, juxtaposed with the classic peacenik song from The Youngbloods (Get Together) a surreally (if that's a word) funny moment. He does the coolest point at 1:45 If anyone hasn't seen Baseball, I would highly recommend it, even my ex who knew nothing about baseball loved it, particularly Lou Gehrig and Christy Mathewson who highly revered their wives.

There are some of us old enough to remember Holger inviting this skinny kid (from the Lynx?) to make senior appearances. Holger obviously saw that one coming.

Joe MacCarthy Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Back off topic again. How's this for a photo op stereotype. I'm waiting for Trudeau to give his speech on his reaction to the Philpott resignation. CBC has a discussion panel going and the shot of where Trudeau is to speak is in the bottom corner of the screen. It's been at least a half hour, likely near an hour (as I haven't been paying attention to the time) but they've had the "diversity" group of people standing behind the podium for all that time. They've been there so long that I noticed it and then the panel has actually started to comment on it. They're still waiting for Trudeau to show up Edited March 5, 2019 by Joe MacCarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
