Yall need to read the thread title....and understand why he's making mention of Canadian players lol. 
The bbtb rhetoric is sometimes tiring here. 

My overall point is that, while we all agree that the team needs more games, it's not as easy as pointing to other teams and saying "look, they're doing it."
I used your example of Trinidad to point out that every country has its own set of variables that it needs to take into consideration when planning games (or the lack thereof, in our case).
Still, I'm with you. After this window there is no more excuse to not maximize the number of  matches the team will play.

it's not much of an overreaction in the context, it's pretty tame (i've done more annoying shit on here). plus making this point a month after the first post and several days after the later is just antagonistic for no reason.

I may be wrong, but I think Halifax took that strategy.

it would only take like 10 minutes to upload a pdf document or copy/paste something to webpage (assuming they actually have the rules written in a proper document).

Then don’t read his posts  just block him then ,pretty simple no?

Aside from Osorio, Morgan, Chapman, Hamilton, Okello, Dunn, Fraser, etc., TFC also has a full TFC2 squad to call from.

Telfer to Y9 confirmed

Another factor might be that they are much more likely to play against Ottawa in the V-Cup than York, so York gets what is currently the more experienced "game-ready" player.
Both loans are good news for everyone involved, including all players and all leagues involved. I'm aware that there are some folks in this part of the forum who are against MLS loaning players to CPL teams because both MLS and loans are evil and must be destroyed*, but I think this is a great sign that the Canadian clubs in different leagues are working together and collaboratively. There is a view that Canadians won't support CPL teams if they are seen to be developing players for MLS teams, but speaking as someone from one of the 9 municipalities that make up York 9, I do not believe that is the case in my neck of the woods - it's more likely to be the opposite, that the people (at least, of the very few in this area who are even aware that there is a York 9 team or a Canadian league) who might be interested in going might be more inclined to do so because they are watching either known commodities or prospects for the "big league" club. It's the same mentality that I see a lot of from the people who go to see Toronto Marlies games, either it's because it's a very cheap day activity for the family or its because they were interested in watching William Nylander, Andreas Johnson, Travis Dermott etc. play knowing that they were being groomed for the big club.
I realize that it could very well be extremely different in other urban centres, but York 9's situation is different from the other 6 since they are in the market/shadow of an MLS Club. When I go around promoting the CPL to soccer or general sports fans (none of whom have ever heard of the league until I tell them about it), the main source of confusion I receive is why it is that York 9 aren't TFC2 or why TFC2 aren't in this league since it is a league which is a self-proclaimed developmental league, launched with the expressed goal of developing Canadian players, coaches and officials.
*A slight exaggeration of the sentiment I've seen displayed on this board, but only a slight one.

I am of two minds about this whole give away thing, I get what they are trying to do, optics and all but what if this backfires? There is no guarantee that this won’t be a shitty cold and wet spring day in The Hammer causing many of the people with freebies not to bother showing, I am not sure even in good weather there will be 24,000 people interested in going! The other concern someone raised is free tickets cheapens the perception of the product and can piss off paying customers, the Argos know all about that! I guess I’ll just have to trust Bob Young and his marketing team, they do know a thing or two about promoting events!

That's why Delgado was the one signed to a TAM contract, not Osorio.
Oh wait... 🙄

Because USL/MLS bad, CPL good. Obviously.
OR (and this is a wild thought here, so bear with me)... more professional teams in all leagues is better than the alternative.
 

I would presume so. I haven't actually found an official source for this but I assume it's legit.
It's interesting. I think it's smart move from a marketing standpoint.

So apparently Forge is making the inaugural game free...
 

Not Van Der Wiel? 😂

Wow. Impressive additions to say the least.

WTF does this have to do with this thread, the NT or soccer?

It actually is not at all routine to have an obligatory boot in pro football. What is standard is for each player to choose what is best for him.
I think players should be able to wear want they want. Nike should understand that they might have to deal with exceptions if a player is not happy with his options. 

Atlanta is called The Five Stripes because of the logo, not the jersey. It's the same reason CPL editorial has come up with The Nine Stripes for York, although they seem to only be counting the green stripes since there are technically 18 stripes in the crest (yes, I counted 🤣).
As for ATL, they tweeted about the "5-stripes" yesterday, so I don't think they are moving away from the name. IIRC, it was a fan-driven nickname, so management would be stupid to ignore it.

I would've hoped for something a little less obviously derivative of Atlanta United's nickname.
Could be a green/black striped jersey, though.
