Bison44 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I thought Beckie was very good on her zoom calls. And I was hoping DeG would get more comfortable, more natural and bring some insights to the TSN desk, but it doesnt seem to be happening. Too bad but not everyone is cut out for it.

Having been born in Scotland and moving to Canada at the age of 13 I became a Canadian citizen when I was 19. I played football at Carleton University and since 1999 have had the privilege of commentating at local club level, high school, CIS, uSports (including 5 National Championships), Fury PDL, Fury NASL, Fury Women and now AtleticoOttawa I love both the Scottish and Canadian national teams which I’m sure many others do too I must admit the Brit bashing is really tough to read. Might be time to step away for a while GWS I am born in Scotland and only got my Canadian citizenship about 3 years ago. Spent most of my formative years here in Canada so I feel more Canadian. I am one that will criticise the need for commentators to have a British accent by some Canadian soccer fans. I think we are lucky to have quality personalities like Kristian Jack and Oliver Platt in the Canadian soccer media world but I also dislike the automatic criticism of anybody who does not fit the template of the British commentator. gwsmith63, johnyb, JamboAl and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I'm British, but I don't think an accent is important at all. At the same time, Canadian announcers have always been particularly controversial. Dobson (who I was find with), Rauter (who I find listening to, like fingernails on a chalkboard), Wheeler (who I think might make a better colour commentator - but at least not Rauter).

Kent Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 With things heating up with the national team, and this cash injection, maybe they can scale up and deliver a more reliable service, better quality video, and ideally apps for more devices.

m-g-williams Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It's almost weird to see TSN pay attention to the league for more than 30 seconds. I wonder if One Soccer's stranglehold on the national team rights has them wanting to play a bit more nicely? gator, dyslexic nam, johnyb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Would feel kinda bizarre if the broadcast rights holders for the World Cup finals were on the outside looking in as Canada plays all those warm up friendlies in 2022. That is to say, should Canada qualify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is to say, should Canada qualify... Depends on where the friendlies are played. In Canada, One Soccer would have the rights (and would likely be open to sharing with a TV network). Outside of Canada the rights would be owned by the host nation, and would be fair game for anyone to pick up. I can see TSN outbidding everyone in that situation (like they did with the USA away game in September). johnyb and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Did anyone else feel like those west coast twitter guys came off so bad asking for more non TFC coverage? Like it's one thing to poke fun and ask for change in how OS covers VWFC and MTL but to constantly barrage the content people with insults and such is so immature. Insulting people probably doesn't help your case if you want something to change. RS, Califax, toontownman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 6 hours ago, Watchmen said: They did not put on the Forge press conference live, and PFC not at all. The KJ post-game interviews were tape delayed 10-15 minutes. It was good to show the celebration live, but they mismanaged the rest. Adam and Iain were very dry and uninspired given it was a final. Hume can nitpick mid-season, on big occasions you need to adjust. Then they cut to a Forge legacy canned video, which suggests they had it scheduled for when Forge won the title. Their brains are out of order at OneSoccer. ted, narduch and Mango 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I saw a similar, shorter analysis about OneSoccer twitter's activity regarding the MLS sides. There was a two week or so stretch with no CFMTL or VWFC content but plenty of TFC. I think most of the clips were from their panel show. The panel show does feature discussion of the other teams, but this wasn't making it to twitter apparently. Twitter is not real life, obviously, but still a problem.
