The sort of weather that always makes you question why most Canadian stadia don't have a roof. Let's sit in the pouring rain for over 90 minutes.

And they expect people to come out right. Ya let’s just put a couple of bleachers up and people will come . No consideration taken into the fact that the weather sucks in this country 90 percent of the time , we don’t live here because of the great weather .

Need to see him screaming at one of his teammates after he just ****ed up to concede a goal for that to be the case.

Why would York United spend that kind of money on a university stadium they don't own or control? I know they have a good partnership with York U but things will be better at Woodbine (roof + grass).

In retrospect, that's a reason why the league doesn’t let clubs in without concrete stadium plans anymore. They don't want another FC Edmonton or York 9 situation.

babouli crosses straight into irvings gloves

...more and more confortable as the game progresses playing that midfield role...  is the Pravda version from Onesoccer.

I realize that , let’s hope that if Woodbine is a go that they build something with a roof over the stands . I do recall seeing a rendering or something of the original stadium York wanted to build in Vaughan and it was a stadium fully enclosed with a roof over all the stands it looked great . Hopefully they build something similar at Woodbine . Look call me crazy or what but if this league eventually gets most teams one day in nice proper 5 to  10000 seats soccer friendly stadiums attendance will soar .

Think it was supposed to be planned as eco-friendly and using lots of timber Forest Green in England style

Edit: i.e. the York United SSS out in York Region

Is anyone here at the game? Sure doesn't seem like anywhere close to that when they pan to the stands.

This club is an absolute disaster. I wonder how much longer an owner wants to keep this thing on life support.

turns it over in his half this time

[Ozzie_the_parrot]

This is painful to watch. Roll on Forge vs Halifax and two teams that can actually pass the ball like two fully pro clubs.

[Bison44]

Jesus... is this the 2 old guys from the muppet show thread?? 

[Big_M]

sends the freekick straight to the keeper...hes sent at least five balls into the keepers gloves

[sebdeserio]

Crosses the ball purposefully out of reach for Ferrari making him stretch for no reason. Bad teammate.

Takes the corner that doesn't result in a goal absolute scrub.
