That said, I'm post-apex, and while still high level, it's against other o35'ers.

Soccer Canada tweeted out a statement that they are looking into the validity of the Borges AND Waterman red cards.... interesting.

Trying to see this as a neutral, the laws of the game say that a red is only warranted for a handball denying a goal scoring opportunity if it is deliberate. If not deliberate, just a penalty and yellow card.

Violent conduct, on the other hand, says that you only need to "kick or attempt to kick" and opponent. Although Wheeldon was certainly not innocent in the exchange, that's not what is on trial here. Borges certainly did attempt to kick him.

That being said, there are so many wild cards at play here (the CSA being a big one). But if I'm looking at each incident separately, Waterman's looks more likely to be overturned. But who are we kidding here? I bet that they'll overturn them both and start with a almost-clean slate on Saturday.

My guess is either both or neither will be revoked. I am fine with either result.

Quite possibly! In mens, I played for Pars (back in the day), Dinos, Villains, and most recently Sportif...up until this season actually.

I recently joined EMFC in O35, but apparently we were the only team to sign for Masters Elite, so we're playing in Open prem...le sigh. The ONE reason I joined O35 is to play at a slower pace. Ain't getting that now!

Where did you play?

Is the game at 1:30 or 2pm? I thought both games the time got switched but the $100 promo still says 1:30?

[jayswin]

CBC is promoting it as 1:30. Or at least they were a couple days ago.

[shermanator]

For the first leg, they promoted the game for 1:30 but kickoff was at 2:05. This was to ensure everyone was in their seats for kickoff. Assuming they are doing the same for the second leg.

Yeah the CSA and CPL will likely overturn both, and are quite thankful that they had a dubious red on Cavalry to be able to offset as well to make them look impartial.

Nice to see the CSA step in quickly for their friends in the Ontario Soccer Association to right a wrong for the Forge.

It took them a week to open an investigation into the same team and 3 months to hand down a ruling of racism against them it what sounds like a pretty open and shut case.

As for game time Saturday, if CBC is saying 130 it’s 130. CBC said 2pm last week for kick off and they had swimming on TV until then.

Bought a ticket for the game. What time does the jus leave from Rose and Crown so I can get proper loaded?

[shermanator]

If kickoff is advertised for 1:30, the bus should leave the Rose and Crown at 12. When I talked to the bar manager this last weekend I recommended 3 busses and asked for the bar to open at 10 on Saturday. Will confirm today or tomorrow.

[shermanator]

Confirmed. Rose and Crown will open at 10 on Saturday and we will have 3 busses. Let the alcohol flow through your veins.

Thanks for helping to organise these buses all year!

[Spencemid]

I'm curious if anybody knows the offer code for the tickets in section 106? Looking to bring a few more friends to the game, but don't want it to get too pricey!

[Slava]

My app shows that we play FC Edmonton this Saturday. Don't worry guys, we can easily win that by 3-4 goals!

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Where should I sit? Need 2 tickets.

Big rock fan zone is cheap but back rows of 106.

The two for $100 is 103, lower rows and includes some food/scarf.

Any other recommendations?

Transportation isn’t a big deal cause I don’t drink but how is the parking? That got better after some early issues right?
