2019 Cavalry FC season thread

[Slava]

Cavalry just cutting through though. They’re clearly the better team here.

That first stop on the second goal was impressive, but this could get out of hand pretty quick if Halifax can’t get some control over things.

[Jimmy Stang]

Great half away from home. Halifax came out really physical, but it didn’t put Cavalry off.

A couple of well timed goals and Cavalry looking comfortable.

Does Kildare's pub still run a bus? Are Kildare's tickets in the same area as the Ship and Anchor's? Can I assume both are just general admission?

[Slava]

I thought that those were both pretty clear penalties not given to Cavalry there.

[Kipper is King]

That should be a straight red.

[Jimmy Stang]

I'm surprised that there are still 22 men on the pitch. This game seems destined for a red card, probably on a second yellow.

[Jimmy Stang]

That'll do. Great win in a scrappy game on the road. Selfishly I am pleased that the stage has been set for Saturday for "you know what".

[TheIronMaiden]

I am pumped up! What a team! Saturday is going to be a hell of a time!

“We’re all gonna have a party,
We’re all gonna have a party
We’re all gonna have a paaarrrtyyy!
When Cavalry wins the cup!”

(To the tune of For he’s a Jolly Good Fellow, and it should be sung incessantly on Saturday!)

So as someone knew to soccer do we have a chance against the WhiteCaps? Do they typically leave some good players at home since it's not MLS?

The promo code “#CFCFAM” is good for the 4 tickets for $99 deal for saturday’s match according to the Cavs twitter account.

They’ll probably leave some guys out as it’s a level below and they should have an easy walk through. Hopefully the Cavs being the class of the CPL can put on a respectable showing and maybe an upset. It’s going to be tough for them though.

With the win, Cavalry can now clinch the Spring season title with a draw. Hopefully Spruce Meadows is packed on Saturday.

Can’t wait for Saturday!

How does the youth development play time rule work again? Its Canadian born players under 21 need to play 1000 minutes over the span of both seasons, right?

Edit: I found a source saying that it is. In which case The Cavalry have 3 players who fit that description. All three of whom are attackers. .

Malyk Hamilton 92 minutes
Gabriel Bitar, 0 minutes
Victor Loturi 0 minutes


92/1000.

You'd have to imagine that Wheeldon jr. is planning on giving them all plenty of play time the remaining two games if the Cavalry are successful Saturday.

If we win the spring season, we'll have a ton of meaningless games to meet that requirement.

Its a winning strategy. The cavalry have played to win early and its payed off. Other teams have already met the requirement, granted some due to injury.

[TheAlpineOracle]

I would go to the game on Saturday as the wife is out of town. Is there anywhere downtown I can jump on a bus so I don’t have to drive?
