Having been around the fan group culture of TFC when it all launched before moving to Japan for work related reasons I can confidently state you would have seen something significantly more reflective of the GTA's population where groups like RPB, U-Sector and the North End Elite were concerned if a similar picture were taken at that point. Probably still the case but I'm never near the GTA during the season so haven't been to a game for a very long time. If I were the Cavalry front office I would be wondering why this picture looks like a Junior B hockey reunion out in Doncherryville, Ontario and whether they maybe need to try to be more inclusive in some way. Bear in mind that if you are able to attract the 40% of the population that is massively underrepresented in statistical terms in this picture to a greater extent, crowds and revenues are likely to go up. Soccer has always tended to be by far the most inclusive and welcoming sport for recent immigrants in a Canadian context so I found that picture seriously bizarre. @Ozzie_the_parrot dont do that buds. Thats beneath you. You're being very unkind and un fair to a group of people who have no intention other than to support Canadian soccer, bring cheer, have fun and be as welcoming as humanly possible. The picture was posted because they're proud of their dedication, the relationships thet've made and what they've built as a supporters group. They should be proud. Theyre a perfect example of what Canadian soccer needs more of. You're really trying to belittle people.

shermanator Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It’s unfortunate but not surprising that this community allows these types of accusations to flow so freely. I guess this is a place where the people who actually build supporters culture are brushed aside to allow people who have done absolutely nothing for the game to spew their garbage. Even going to far as to having this forum moved away from the Voyageurs website so as to not further damage the reputation of the Voyageurs in the public eye...

Not easy but you shouldn't pay it any mind. He's just being a jerk and completely insincere and phony. He doesn't believe what he said. he's just trying to make people disenfranchised and unmotivated. Keep it up. I think you guys and HFX have the best supporter sections in the league I know if you guys had it your way you'd be posing for a picture with the entire city Edited January 22 by SpursFlu Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that now that the league had a pretty successful 2023 and is entering its 6th season he ran out of his usual doom and gloom material and needed to find another angle to complain about the CPL.

Mihairokov Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Rouyard is an interesting GK. Left Guadeloupe at 15 to join Bordeaux's youth setup. Signed a pro contract at 22 which expires in 2025. Nine caps for Guadeloupe (who will be in CNL League A for 24-25) and is currently their starter. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Cavs bringing in Lucas Dias on loan. Could be a hell of a move. We seem to be having a revolution of young players preferring a full professional environment to an academy or B team role at a top club. https://x.com/cplcavalryfc/status/1754565687509438706?s=46&t=ZKgNEBdXB3pBcPOUDbIpCg Edited February 5 by Pottsy3 Trois Reds, johnyb, Aird25 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was commenting on him with others while watching vs. Pacific last summer, because I hadn't noticed him before, a guy who is so cool on the ball, makes good decisions, is rarely overextended, and plays with real poise. Not flashy, but very efficient and a great pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
