RS Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Cblake said: The death of the U of T project had nothing to do with the Argos or MLSE, it basically was changed when their president, Robert Birgeneau left to become the chancellor at Berkley. His successor felt it was in the best interest to develop a stadium project that would be in the best interest of the schools population at large not a pro football team or soccer., thus the Varsity Centre was built. Not to keep derailing this thread, but I never wrote that the death of the U of T project had anything to do with the Argos or MLSE. Anyway, that topic diversion has run its course.

AFAIR I posted a perfectly fair piece of evidence showing the Wembley groundskeeper saying soccer was harder on turf than football. Why was that deleted and the other guys abuse gets to stay? I'm a big boy I don't care what he says (fourth time by the way recently for the abusive language) but I'm surprised abusive language gets to stay and facts get deleted. I know it goes against certain TFC fan's agenda but really, deleting evidence and keeping abuse? BTW when flame wars stop between the participants, and they always do, people shouldn't start posting for them to stop when they're already over. Also this thread was derailed by posts long before I ever got into it (check out the thread), I just had enough hearing the other side and decided to get into it.

This wasn't aimed at you Rudi You of all people shouldn't be complaining about other posters using abusive language. Pot, kettle,etc. I could share articles of actual players who played at BMO Field complaining about the surface. I would respect their opinion on the matter way more than the biased grounds keeper from Wembley. You are not from Toronto so of course you don't give a shit about it.

Joe MacCarthy Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) When have I used abusive language? I don't think the fact that I roast you in "debate" everytime we post is equivalent to the name calling that you do with me and others. I don't mind if that's the best you can do, I'm used to it. The fact that you would defame the head groundskeeper of likely the most important piece of turf on the planet speaks volumes (this got deleted), all because you can't take something your people tried to manipulate, that should never have happened in the first place, and finally went back to the way it was originally intended. The city owns BMO not TFC, it's really simple. Mods feel free to move all the posts here but there's more posts than me and Narduch (the posts started a lot earlier than me and him) Edited October 6, 2021 by Joe MacCarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its disgusting the way the mods back then allowed you to get away with the shit you did back then. Robert levels of disgustingness. Anyways, you are biased because you like the CFL. You don't really care about the affect the Argos playing on the surface have on either TFC or the Canadian national teams. You have major cognitive dissonance on this issue.

You keep saying that but where's the proof, it's not my style it's yours. In fact, you were called out about it by others as being a hypocrite for doing it. What about the effect TFC have on the Argos as it's proven soccer is more harmful than football to the turf. Either way if the scheduling was ok there wouldn't be a problem. I don't recall any non zealot fans posting about issues last year. Edited October 6, 2021 by Joe MacCarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Looks like a healthy contingent of V’s heading into Edmonton from both east and west for at least one of the games. And hopefully for the FC Edmonton vs Forge game on the Saturday. I know a formal get together is in doubt at this time. If we can’t organize one it would be fantastic if someone from there could recommend a large watering hole we could all descend upon for the pregame and thereby have an unofficial official tailgate heading into the games! I am also wondering if we should pick a section at Clarke and have the V’s stagger in to the sand section at Clarke the following day. Just a thought for the group. Allez Les Rouges!

Ive never been to edmonton before. From the holiday inn in downtown it’s 3 km. If the weather is “good” and the watering hole is between I am hoping to enjoy a nice stroll. As indicated there are other relatively inexpensive options to get from downtown to Commonwealth or Clarke. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayverider Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I’m also flying in from Ontario for the first Edmonton game. At this early time I just have my flights to and from Hamilton (dirt cheap with Swoop though I might be sitting on the wing). Looking forward to meeting a lot of fellow supporters and a cheering on a Canada victory. gator and Admin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
