bully toussaint out for two games after his 8th yellow...plenty of offensive weapons on the bench for pacific with ongaro reid daniels and bahous there also and ready to prove to his former team that they were wrong

[K Edgar]

all CanPL teams should have these updates...

Early game

The early start is due to Atlético Ottawa accommodating the CityFolk festival, which kicks off just outside the stadium this evening. (Actually, it's probably the other way around - CityFolk is accommodating Atlético.) The festival was offering a special deal: "Buy a CityFolk day pass for Sept. 13 and get access to the Atlético Ottawa match that day." Despite that, with a weeknight match and a 5:30 start, I expect this to be the lowest attended match of the year.

Tonight's headliner at CityFolk is Iggy Pop. Will Atlético Search and Destroy against Pacific tonight? Or will they just be The Passenger?

That's got to be one of Manneh's only important contributions of the year. 

[narduch]

Tissot scores from a free kick.

Bassett had a pk saved earlier.

1-1

[Big_M]

ends 1-1

[jonovision]

Kind of wild that other than the Cavalry win there's been no real movement in the playoff race since last week with most of the teams having played 2 games.

Attendance was 4236.

I didn’t check anywhere to confirm but last night must have set a record for faked injuries. 
 

Pacific staff acted surprised Ongaro couldn’t go on after they screwed up their substitutions was kinda funny.

Likely the Iggy Pop staged diving effect.

Seems quite generously announced judging from 1:58 of the highlights, but that wouldn't be especially surprising given the unusual kickoff time before he sees the stars come out tonight. Let's ride and ride and ride...

Hey, if you have any issues take it up with Atleti’s communication manager. That figure came straight from him at the post game press conference.

The most predictable person I've ever stumbled upon 

[Aird25]

I'm surprised Gazdov and Amedume continue to get starts even after fulfilling the stupid U21 rule. Last nights penalty aside, have either of them been good enough to deserve it?

This is a fan messageboard where topics like whether the unusual kickoff time had an impact on how many people were actually at the game can and will be discussed in an informal manner. I don't have any issue at all with the notion that 4236 tickets were distributed for this event.

I wasn’t sure if your last line was meant to imply something or not so I gave you a direct person to contact if you didn’t believe the figure.

Just put any number out there, and it's a reflex reaction, like those touch sensitive peas, mimosa pudica.

They are fun to play with.

So no hidden meaning then?  Song or not?  Good to know.

IP not really my thing.  I'm more of a Rick Astley kinda guy myself.

 

PS:  I thought 'Lust for Life' was his most famous song.  Oh well.....

Just checked on Spotify and The Passenger has over 200 million more plays than Lust For Life.

Mind blown!
