2017 Whitecaps

Beast.

Thanks Pa-Modou.

Nerwinski is so far off this level...

That performance was so bad it made Aird look like the second coming of Philip Lahm.

What a match. The way Tsn covered this and promoted their Bell brand was first class. Curling offers a few decent birds for viewing.

Anyone know the status of the current media contracts with our major sports teams?

Thought I read somewhere here Stu Walters was a TTP member. Maybe he would know?

Nice if Cknw made a run at the rights to a couple or all and shook things up a bit in this market.

For the caps to not even send Radio crew to broadcast in this day and age is an embarassment. Oh thats right they dont have anyone to do the play by play anyway

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Regs]

Totally forgot about this game...

@akslop I think I heard yesterday that TSN radio is back to do Caps games. This may mean that P Schaad, who was recently let go from TSN Radio, might be back.

 

[akslop]

Someone back east must have realized @therealmoj doing caps play by play wasnt going to end well

 

[Dude]

There was a twat, erm, tweet yesterday announcing it, but fcuk me, quiet otherwise.

RB that bad, eh? I didn't think much of Williams during pre-season, either. Frightening to the same level as Jordan Smith, actually.

I see teams attacking us relentlessly down the right side this year, and we don't even have Bolanos as a counter threat.

 

[Dude]

...and, not that we want @Regs to tag one Stu Walters here, but maybe you should tag someone that knows Stu Walters really, really well, and encourage him to get involved in the media discussion side. Stu Walters' acquaintance, that is.

@club_i_champ would know Stu well

@sensei_hanson has a soccer background, give him a go

 

[akslop]

Ah yes the KurtenBlog

Yes, THAT bad.

He got beat numerous times, and needlessly lunged in to give away a pk.

But what was more scary to me was what he did with the ball.

Here's the pass graph for Nerwinski #28 and for comparison, Harvey #2



That's a lot of red on the right side of the pitch... I count 7/16 completed passes for a 43.75% completion rate. SHOCKING.

He has, ad nauseum heard it all before I'm afraid. I will however shoot him a friendly reminder!

Where the hell did you find this?

Wow.

 

[Dude]

As much as I think getting @sensei_hanson onto the local footballing media scene, me thinks he's struck gold w/ his partner on Kurtenblog. Seriously, those two are my two favorite radio personalities right now. I don't know that a lot of the audience gets their humor, but it is sooooo TTP. Love it.

 

[dezza]

Where the hell did you find this?

Wow.

I made it using the MLS Chalkboard that's powered by Opta stats...

[Dude]

Well bloody hell, think I have time for that? I'm fcuking busy, you know?

(ummmm...can you do this all season?)

If that's the proverbial "you", then yes. It's available for all MLS matches, and I guess CCL matches too.

If you mean me making pretty little charts for your consumption, then fcuk off, I'm busy.

 

[Dude]

I was indeed thinking of the later situation, so it's unfortunate you value your time over mine.

It won't stop me asking on next match day, however.
