hundal in for simmons at the break...vancouver sees the heavy weaknesses of york defensively and say we're going for it

So Mickey Mouse again...cringingly embarassing. They've regularly had sound system issues pregame...it's the last match of the season; you'd think they might have fixed it by now.

lapare goes down...baldisimo and bayiha in for him and ricci....56'

[Big_M]

64' cameron out crawford in

[Big_M]

67' great vancouver combo play and they almost score

[Big_M]

74' kinani in for diaz

[Big_M]

york reaches the 2000 u21 minutes

Yeah, I hadn't precalculated. So when I saw the sub announced I quick double checked the numbers. I think York ends up with 2005 minutes.

84' dos santos and wright in for martin and de rosario and kwak and tahid in for what looks like chung and cantave...kinani and grant come together and both dive and ref doesnt buy any of it

[Big_M]

looks like ricci from the bench gets a second yellow and he misses the playoff game

[Big_M]

york wins 1-2 and qualifies for the playoffs as the fifth place team

ottawa is eliminated and finishes the season in sixth place

[Kent]

Am I right thinking the tie breakers are.

1. Wins

2. Goal Differential?

Which if true, would mean a 2 goal loss for Forge and a Pacific win would mean Forge drop from 2nd to 4th and there is a road trip possibility for York United fans.

[Big_M]

yup but a two goal loss for forge to a sixth place ottawa is unlikely...forge is a team that usually starts peaking at the end of season/in playoffs

I just want to know if there is a greater than 0% chance that I could see York United live in a playoff game this week. Even if Forge finishes 4th, it's still a low probability that I can actually go to the game.
