It's a bit of a shame, these lopsided scores.

7-0.

I guess that's a Voyageurs Cup record

[Big_M]

salter to del campo 7-0 69'...new score record in the canadian championship...great first cross by bassett

[Cheeta]

So... been fighting with Fubo through most of this, let's call it a "match", which of course is in keeping with the on field events, and find myself slightly bemused.  Some days are just like that, you know?  It's just going to be like that, don't know why and have no idea if there's anything I can do about it.  But there it is. 

"Stop the bleeding, Valour." he says?  Is there any blood left to wring out of Valour at this point?

I've an idea.  Why don't we do this all again on Sunday?

Just saw Herdman fall to his knees at Etobicoke Walmart

[Big_M]

ressurreicao makes a very good cross...done more than others in a few minutes and was good in other games too...dont know why he isnt getting a start...oh wait i might know

[Wippersuna]

I get that Valour are a bit of a lost cause but no way Dos Santos should survive this. Absolutely embarrassing.

I regret renewing my Valour tickets. 

[Cheeta]

Sideline shot of PDS in deep thought.  Uh-huh.  Wondering if he can get out the lease on the house early.

[SoccMan]

Might not have the players but this in the end comes down to coaching . He needs to go simple as that .

[phil03]

What makes me genuinely feel bad for Valour is that they probably have to stay after this one. They won't have the change of environment that comes with taking a plane or a bus to somewhere else and use the new scenery to try to forget about the whole thing...

They have to live in the same hotel rooms for the next five days before going back to the very same pitch... Mentally that must be adding salt to the wound.

85' sacko morer in for sacko singh and hanson in for binate...still no ohin or mourdoukoutas which is more bad news if they arent ready to play any minutes sunday

No Ohin or Tass... so Valour was out of healthy subs.  Brutal on the injury front, brutal on the recruiting side.

[Wippersuna]

Close one. Really could have gone either way. 

[shermanator]

Really makes you think....

LOL.  I feel your pain but you're getting a bit in front of it.  

It's a cup match.  It was arse.  Few WTF, goofy, goals but that's that.  (At least we all hope so).

If I've learned anything over the years it's how to find some fun while losing.  Shitting on everyone, friend and foe alike, I personaly find helpful.  Shrug.  Maybe that's a Winnipeg thing.  Maybe that's a football thing.   Whatever.  Damn it all. 

 

 

[Big_M]

dos santos has completely run this team to the ground...cant coach and cant recruit...huge mistakes to give him full control in 2021 with the gm+coach positions and then to give him an extension after the 2023 season when they finished dead last...hes had parts of four seasons...need a new voice asap even if there would only be minor improvements in the short term...you just cant keep going with him at this point

[Wippersuna]

I mean I’m a Canucks fan. Last 10 years taught me well how to have fun when losing. And yeah it’s a cup game but a 7 goal loss after losing to the Rovers last year doesn’t exactly fill me with hope. Driving out to the University sucks as is, why would I want to keep doing it for this?

[shermanator]

I've been saying for a while that Valour reminds me a lot of FC Edmonton. I really hope they don't see the same fate but with the current ownership group they have things just aren't going to get any better in Winnipeg.

blaming the fans instead of providing a good product on the field, how not to run a club 101
