2023 Cavalry FC and CPL Thread

[AndyM]

Of all people.

[SuperMatt18]

One game playoffs in Soccer is stupid.

[AndyM]

Luckily, it's a page playoff, so today's result, whatever it may be, doesn't eliminate Cavalry.

[Slava]

This is when Forge are the most hatable. I absolutely loathe them at the best of times, but the laying around and time wasting is beyond the pale.

[TheIronMaiden]

I am.disgusted.

[shermanator]

Well that was a Cavalry / Forge playoff game....

[TheIronMaiden]

I am tired of cheering for losers.

[Bill Bumface]

What the hell happened on the Musse free kick? Outside netting? We were all celebrating like crazy and I saw the smoke go off. Looked totally in from the far side, but obviously we missed something.

[The Big Chill]

That first goal against was just brutal. Give away a cheap corner and then another playoff mistake for Carducci.

Gotta pick ourselves up and do it the hard way now.

[shermanator]

Attendance was 4385. Not an amazing crowd but significantly better than the last few years.

[Ozy_Flame]

Please tell me the Foot Soldiers gave it to Bekker when he came to gloat in the supporters corner after his goal . . .

[Swift]

I saw a lot of beer thrown for sure

[jayswin]

So we're still in the playoffs then?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

That’s such a disappointment.

But reload and they go again.

First goal is a perfect example of why I think goalies should try to catch crosses any time they can. They’re coached to punch them away…then sh## like that happens.

Forge are a good side. First time I’ve seen them play. Cavs had their chances and didn’t score. Forge had their chances, and they did. Coulda gone either way.

Really wish refs would crack down on time wasting…and I’m not necessarily talking about when they go down injured. I counted 10 seconds on multiple occasions when their keeper had the ball in his hands. Or on goal kicks when he saunters to take it from the far side. Crack down on that. So brutal. But also things I 1,000% do in big games, so yea…

[TheIronMaiden]

So next game will be the last Cavs home game win or lose?

[AndyM]

Yes.

Correct. Home field advantage in the final was at stake yesterday, so the final will be in Hamilton. Win, and we go there. Lose, and that’s it.

Greg, this. I can’t stand Henry, but he executed a master class in catching crosses, and corners yesterday. An especially contentious one close to the PK spot. And really, referees side with keepers that get bumped, when their arms are extended trying to bring it in. I know I’ve received the benefit of the doubt many times.


And I’m no angel either. I’ve received many time wasting yellows, so I’d be a hypocrite. Didn’t stop me from shouting my counting tho. Lol

[MillerTime GFG]

Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one lol.
