Hmm hoyle and musse on the bench

 

[Bison44]

Hoyle doesnt seem to have the engine to play an entire game.  Maybe he can do something late off the bench??  Fingers crossed.  

[Big_M]

Interesting that they keep frano out who has been excellent

as a forge fan, I'm not even mad at that goal. Beautiful

Pretty much everyone claims to be possession based these days.  Those are just words.

[dyslexic nam]

And now they can possess the ball right out of their net.

So you don't know what it means??? It is a very distinct style of play and I don't know why you think all teams claim to play that way because that is absolute rubbish!

I know what it means.  No need to have another unnecessary offside/play-vs-touch debate.  I think if you asked most modern coaches if they try to play a possession-style game, they would say yes, unless they are hobbled with an absolutely crap squad that is incapable of knocking a ball around.

I don't remember you being this incessantly aggressive from the old site.  It's a great look.

[dyslexic nam]

Lol.  Not in the least.  I wasn't arguing with you there - and I am not here trying to pick a fight.  I just have no idea why you are having a go at everyone lately.  Like I said, I don't remember you being like this on the V site.

Anywho, I don't plan to engage any further.  Too many great things happening today in Canadian footy to sit around arguing.

Speaking as an outsider on this one:

The camera didn't have a great view, but I'm not sure the entire ball was over the entire line there.

[baulderdash77]

From where I was standing it looked to cross the line.

Forge really deserved the result.  They were by far the better team today.

[StillOnFire]

Well, im happy, put a small bet on the game having more than 2.5 goals via Bet365. 

[Cheeta]

Okay, two words.

 

GAWD DAMNIT!

I didn't watch this match as I was off the grid this weekend (probably for the best given how it ended), but I'm curious how Valour lined up given the personnel in their XI. Was there a central forward? If so, who? What was the left-to-right configuration of the D and mids?

Based on the subs here, it says Roberts was on the bench. I thought that he was at the Gold Cup?

[Big_M]

They are playing tomorrow so he probably stayed for one last game
