MM3/MM2/MM Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The upside of a 0-0 draw is that Breza and the mostly Canadian defence kept a clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Home versus tfc isn’t going to be the classic but once was but i may try to see it live. Anyone got thoughts on how easy it has been to get into Saputo since the reopening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) On 8/15/2021 at 9:14 AM, narduch said: I wish TSN would pick up more of their games. Their rights are held by TVA sport (Peladeau’s company)and they have been at the throats of Bell media for years. And so has Peladeau. This may explain why you dont see their games on TV. Even if Bell has the english language rights, would they allow them to broadcast in the quebec market? And even if they didnt, what kind of audience is TSN going to get without the numbers from Quebec? MLS, much like the NBA but to a smaller scale, are regional sports. Plus the english langauge market in quebec (ie.: the ones that are not fluently bilingual) is really small and getting very old. Thats not what advertisers like. This is all conjecture on my part, of course. But if i am not sure for an explanation on something, i will just follow the money to come up with an explanation, and you’ll be very rarely wrong when you do. Audience=Money. edit.; on further note, in a roundabout way, the phenomena i mentioned above is what really killed the Expos. They could not get a national rights deal in Canada. Even in 1994 when they had the best record in Baseball and went to out try and get national broadcast deal. There were other factors at the time of course.

The fact of the matter is TSN owns the English rights to Montreal games. I'm fully aware of TVA Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well they will be on tv this week either way playing TFC. 😂 New England playing so well, wow. And without Gil. Not peaking too early? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costarg Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 This team is really coming together, squad rotation is strong, replacements at each position. Only real weakness is Camacho leading the CB's. If they could just replace him with a solid veteran this team would be a real force, they're just getting better and more confident.

mtlfan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Last night I listened to the radio broadcast on TSN 690 and was presently surprised to hear Amy Walsh was part of the broadcast team. She and her sisters were great players and contributors in the growth of women's soccer. Stoppage Time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Patrice Bernier, he has a young family and didn't want to spend that much time away from them. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going on six months and it was reported I believe initially as a groin strain. Its almost like there is something else going on here. Curious why no journalists have been asking questions about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Gets the 4-2 win tonight against Orlando while starting 6 Canadians and subbing one more in for good measure. As someone without a geographic tie to any specific MLS team, Montreal definitely excites me more than their peers these days.

Pretty sad state of affairs with this new CFM. Either you’re onboard or you’ll be silenced. Seems to be the flavour of the month in this “new normal” society. Dictatorships must be a Montreal thing.

From what I’ve been reading on Twitter it’s because the Ultras continue to stand for their beliefs opposing the rebranding. Anything signs promoting Montreal Impact related, support for UM02 or calling for the termination of Gilmore is being stomped out by the Stade Saputo Security (the S.S.S.). it wouldn’t surprise me if they soon ban people for chanting IMPACT or wearing IMFC gear.

reggietfc Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 i give credit to mtl for playing canadians,and playing well for the most part,but they are always fighting for a 6 or 7 seed and 3 or 4 of these guys are not a factor for the nats at this time,btw tfc suck this year,but without injuries i can see 3 to 4 canadians playing alot of min.
