Does Forge have any specialty equivalent to James Sharman's Pies at the Stadium?

I wouldn't say it's a specialty, but Forge does sell Miss Millies Jamaican Pies in the stadium this season.

Another huge match at THF today, although Forge had nothing to play for they looked quite poor in their last 2 matches and gave up sloppy goals while failing to score in either! Sometimes it isn't that easy to just flick the switch and get back to where they were especially a team that has been used to playing 2  competitive matches every week for months, hopefully Bobby has this planned and the team will not be complacent although I expect all but us Forge fans would like nothing else than a Forge loss!😀

stuck on the trophy presentation even when clicking on the forge york match...hopefully the game hasnt started yet or its another mess up

[Big_M]

ok finally on the match feed...starting in a couple minutes

[SoccMan]

Ok but what they are not showing the trophy presentation in Canada’s Cup championship final?  That’s bush League I’m sorry if that’s true !

pacius scores after 9 min

[Shway]

Great sequence. Great finish.

[toontownman]

Disaster start from York. Great finish from Pacius. WHY don't we have Canada youth teams that play regularly enough we can get him involved. He has been a revelation in his debut season. Just an U23 camp and games twice a year would be fine.

[Big_M]

might want to play for haiti...very hard to get in the senior team for canada and no interesting competitions will happen in his u23 years

[toontownman]

He is a year too old for the u20 champ next summer isn't he?

Can almost feel another one coming for Forge

york giving up way too much space

I'm fascinated by the fact that this is such a 2 tier league despite the salary cap like most leagues in this region or abroad.

The gap is noticeable, Forge are too strong which is reassuring with their CL and CCL campaigns coming up

ohhhh petrasso with the chip while henry had slipped...1-1

[Ansem]

Oh Henry...

1-1

[toontownman]

game on.

[grasshopper1917]

Well I was wrong about Forge on the brink of the next one. How about Henry though? What a nightmare!   lol

[toontownman]

Was literally thinking 5 minutes prior after he surrendered possession with a poor pass, how these are the type of games you need Petrasso to be stepping up in. Fair play! They need more of that from York players. Fun half of football.

Lots of different club building strategies, pulling power, ownership contacts and managerial/coaching differences. Some clubs have really butchered their transfers too.

I feel like Forge and Cavalry have managed to add some really significant pieces that could be playing in the MLS, Valour too although their coaching or for whatever other reasons haven't gelled to Forge and Cavs standards. Forge have invested more with CL, they have a great squad and the sigma machine behind them. Ottawa and Edmonton have just been handled terribly in appointments and signings or the running of the club. York, Pacific and to a lesser extent Halifax have really invested in a youth first approach and its starting to pay off now but steep learning curves. All my egregious opinion not facts 😛

petrasso out...wow...halley in
