2013 MLS Off/Pre/Early-Season moves/possibilities
Brenton said: That sounds racist to me. Or rather, to Drew. I was just thinking "Great! No more need for scouts, and hit-and-miss signings: just head on down to Honduras and start signing warm bodies", but also, yes, that it seems a…

That was covered in the Juan de Fuca Plate thread. I wasn't trying to be diplomatic so much as trying to stick to the topic of each thread! But now that you mention it . . .

So, everyone in Honduras is identical? Good to know.

Being "frowned upon" shouldn't stop anything. I don't see people throwing out flags or banners after one use. You put that much effort into something, you should use it, especially if it wasn't seen on the television broadca…

I hope that the intent is to bring the exact same tifo back for the game against Montreal.

Sportsnet could, and should, have used a shot of that tifo in those "game montages" that all broadcasters show at the half, if they can't show it live. They fawn over Portland and Seattle travelling fans, and show shots of them that w…

That's great tifo. You're right Coriba - fuck the local media, they fawn over these visiting fans from Seattle and Portland, and don't show that excellent work.

Teibs is back a bit on the field, but point taken on Mattocks (who's in my dog house).

Sorry to have to ask, but the television broadcasts never show the Southside at the right times - was it more than the very prominent "LOVE FOOTBALL - HATE HOMOPHOBIA" banner?

I hear you Christopher, except that it's hard to actually develop one properly if you're chopping and changing rather than easing one in at a time in a particular role or position, as pretty much everyone agrees is the best thing with a yo…

May 18th, 2013, 4:00pm - Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers - MLS Round 11 (R)
Camilo was MOTM, and showed today that he can finish off chances when the team manufactures them. I've already stated that my patience with Mattocks is exhausted, and with every passing game it's obvious that we need to be starting Camilo …

The problem for Hurtado and Manneh is that this team (or any other in MLS) should only be trying to rotate in one guy up top in a year, not two. That's perfect world, and the world's not perfect.

Hold your heads high, Southsiders. I didn't hear a chant that WASN'T coming from Vancouver fans until the 20 minute mark, and then again at the 30 minute mark. That was all I heard of them in the first half. Other than that, everything was…

Hey BlueAndWhiteArmy - could you please email me the photos which involve the JdF Plate? I can't copy them off that format. Seathanaich@telus.net. Thanks . . . and you missed a cracking game today in Victoria!

Victoria Highlanders FC thread
Victoria Highlanders dismantled the Seattle Sounders 4-1, soundly thrashing them in a completely one-sided performance. Riley O'Neil is bossing the midfield, Mallette and Levis are lethal down the wings. Not running into cul-de-sacs, but actual…

Hey BledforDays - you rock, and continue to earn free beers for your next trip to Victoria (which I hope is the Juan de Fuca Plate game on 31 May!!!). I asked at the local Chevron about two weeks ago, just like last year; the owner said "I…

I'll do a game report, or ask Ted Godwin and/or Mike Schlodder to help with one; but I'll also ask around, Lord Bob, and see if I can find someone else so I can just pipe, sing, and generally make an arse of myself. VHFC has a photographer…

I'll be bringing my kids along, though your lad is a bit older. We have a pre-game BBQ, so there's good eats in store. What else can I bribe you with? Oh, and it's always sunny and beautiful during Highlanders games.

Back then though we were playing these things at Swangard. With people now used to soccer at BC Place, it would be held there, which increases the coverage a game gets in the media, and increases the interest of the average fan of attending compared…

Thanks Chris. It's an ongoing thing, so thankfully not a surprise, but still worrisome and stressful for my wife. Unfortunately, duty calls. Cheers.

Thanks Ghostdog, I'm sorry about this too - I was going to bring the youngest one to his first game. What can I say, mothers-in-law find a way to ruin everything, don't they? I hope to be over again for an autumn game, because I'll be…

TheAlbinoWhino is sending the Juan de Fuca Plate via air to YVR, on the 2:00 flight from Vic to Van. He has a cargo flight discount. I'm going to package it as safely as I can. We need someone who can pick it up from YVR any time after 2:45 an…

Thanks Albino - response sent. IF we can get this transported by hand to YVR, is there someone going to the game who could pick up the Plate? I talked to Mark de Frias (Highlanders manager), and unfortunately the club travelled to Van yesterday and…
