longlugan Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Wife and I are flying in for the Forge game this Saturday. Where's a good place for pre-drinks near the stadium? Not sure if the enemy is welcome everywhere but my wife assures me that Haligonians are a friendly lot. Having said that I noticed she upped my life insurance so maybe she's up to something.

Durty Nelly's on the corner of Argyle Street and Sackville Street is likely a good bet. Irish-style pub with good atmosphere, food, and drinks- plus just a 5 min walk up the hill to the grounds. I'll add a qualifier to this that my bar/pub knowledge has seriously waned over the last few years and there's been a ton of new development downtown. Regardless, Durty Nelly's is a great option, but there might be some newer places that would be good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper1917 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Great news for the future however the 2021 season is in shambles. Just got back from a few days in the woods and read the report of yesterdays disaster at Forge. I don't know if this is wrong to say. I love the club but to be honest I hope they do not sneak into the playoffs they really have no business going up against the top 3. I sounds hard but this has been a disgraceful run. Outscored 7-1 in the last 2 games which were critical. Scored 2 goals in the last 6 (one was an own goal). Also barring a miracle we are going to finish dead last in goals for again. Im not sure what has to change for next season however I would say their performance in the 2 full seasons is no where near good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but this is also a team that has had more success, not only this year but over three seasons, than 3-4 other CPL teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't really count the tournament (Island games) as a season or anything meaningful really. However Spring 2019 we were dead last. In the fall season we were tied for second last. This season still remains to be seen but it looks like we will likely finish 5th or even possibly 6th. We have be far the strongest fan support in the league - so for me bottom half of the table is not good enough. There is no reason we shouldn't be fielding a squad that compete in the top half with Forge, Cavalry and Pacific. jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) I haven't seen too many HFX games this season, but is Erik Santos always as bad as he appeared on Saturday? In the first half especially he was god awful, made like 3 blunders in the first 10 minutes. Edited November 1, 2021 by Pottsy3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 could see him playing at any of the six he hasnt played at...a top player in the league...but turning 28 he will probably feel its time to join a winning team so maybe not atletico or valour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper1917 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hard to see him leave, he was one of my personal faves. Gave it his all with great passion from start to finish. Wonder if there is more to this story though? There were some big games he wasn't in - I assumed due to injury. Maybe him and Hart clashed? All speculation.

toontownman Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Wow. Pretty surprised by this. Don't see him moving to any of this seasons top 4, mainly because they have those positions tied up. Don't see MLS clubs going for him but maybe he chances his arm at Europe, Scandinavia? Would be neat to see him given a chance in some MLS training camps though.

Bison44 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yeah a guy pushing 30, making peanuts....I dont think having a winning or losing season next year is driving his decisions. I think making some money would prob be a priority. Some of those USL teams splash some cash. He's done well, if he can translate that into a couple years somewhere else making a lot more, all the better. rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper1917 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The rumor going around here is that he (Doner) was left out of the lineup for the last game because he wanted to move on. My feeling is as he gave it 100% and never any less and was one of our best player he should have still been in. Some other have said since he was leaving he shouldn't have been in. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I hope Stefan Karajovanovic is brought back next year, he must have the leagues worst scoring rate compared to their expected goals for. 6th in the league in shots on target, yet only had 1 goal all season. HFX lacked goal scoring all season, but I think some of that is due for positive regression. The goaltending will be the big offseason question mark. They've consistently stuck to local targets at the position, but after the amount of blunders this season I think they'll need to pay up for a keeper outside of the league or a guy like Giantsopoulos who could probably slot into a starting role. Just for the sake of maritime talent, Daniel Nimick is a name that wouldn't surprise me. Defender from Newfoundland at Western Michigan University who was All-MAC First Team in 2020 and All-MAC Second Team in 2021. Spent the rest of the year as a consistent starter on Grand Rapids FC in USL Two. Edited November 16, 2021 by Pottsy3 BradMack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 did almost nothing in two years...at 28 should be done at the pro level at least in cpl...hopefully no other club in the league gives him a contract as that backup spot should be for younger players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
