Its about "every game matters" and rewarding mediocrity right?

Any guesses on what will happen today? York has lost its last three games at home and looks like there will be pretty big support for Ottawa

giantsopoulos is keeping the york season alive

0-0 at the break

Do either of these teams actually want to qualify for the playoffs? The tempo of this game is lethargic at best.

[Big_M]

double sub at 65' for york...dos santos and wright in for bayiha and de rosario

[Big_M]

69' haworth and antinoro in for verhoven and iliadis

[Big_M]

huge save by ingham on a ricci breakaway

[Big_M]

75' baldisimo in for soumaoro

[Big_M]

81' del campo in for salter and martin in for abatneh

[Big_M]

what a play by dos santos at 88' to put york up!!!

[Big_M]

york wins 1-0...they are now in fifth two points ahead of ottawa and will have to add 123 u21 minutes when they travel to langley...ottawa will have to go to hamilton and beat forge and will need york to not win vs vancouver

That won’t be an enjoyable bus ride home.

I just got my season ticket member "Playoffs Are Coming to Halifax" email...

There's a crazy scenario where if we beat Valour by enough goals... York draws or loses in Vancouver... giving Ottawa a reason to still beat Forge that we could end up in the 1-2 game against Cavalry... some how pull that out of the fire... the final would be at the Wanderers Grounds.

The gif I deserve for hijacking this thread...

WOW, every game matters, hehehe.  Good for York, its nice to see them have some success maybe lift that clubs fortunes a bit.  Athletico missing the playoffs isnt the end of the world, spread the wealth around eh? Sorry Ottawa fans....

If you want to make the playoffs, maybe don't lose at home to Valour, eh?

Or away to Vancouver or giving up the winning goal in the last 5 mins of the game five times in the last month.

All the audio from the post game press conference of Sun Oct 1/23 after the CPL game between York United FC and Atletico Ottawa played at York Lions Stadium. Over 41 minutes of Nathan Ingham & Carlos Gonzalez and Martin Nash & Kevin Santos. Huge result! http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports23/23york200.htm
