The stability that never comes

A bunch of stuff to give you hope and frustration

It’s got to the point where you can put an actual price on how much it costs to never again live in a democracy. Never has so much ate ruin gone to such a dispiriting aspect of governance than pundits covering elections spends while people die from incompetent governance, patronage and corruption.

Canadian Premier League doesn’t either. And it’s a blessing in my mind.

Go back and have a listen. It ALMOST seemed like a prepared response.

On the HNIC broadcast on Saturday when the audience gave a mixed reaction to Matthew’s Olympic accomplishment, the colour guy (Craig Simpson?) excused it away saying “Canadians are still disappointed that we lost the gold medal!” And I screamed at the TV “THAT IS NOT WHY THEY ARE FUCKING BOOING”

You’d think a product that was perfectly round would be a poor match for corners. When I was a student “Tom’s Square Boy Pizza” in Peterborough was a legend. Rectangular pizza. THEY would have made a great sponsor for corners.

(Give me odds on that, SportsBet)

They could also take a cue from Rugby Union, which has done it faster, more accurately, and waaaaay more transparently for like two decades.

This point so goes without saying that I’ve just stopped saying it. And I’m also not sure the association football world will ever be culturally ready to adopt this ethic from its cousin.

“Spursy“ would be avoiding relegation and winning the Champions League final. BUT we’d be retroactively docked 10 points in July for some illegality in Gallagher’s transfer and we’d get relegated and forfeit the Champions League result too because he’d be an illegal player.

THAT would be spursy.

Third as a Spurs supporter I don’t really care at this point if we go down. Id take it for the novelty of the situation. But you have to use the term “Spursy correctly”

Second, if you want to use technology make it like goal line technology. Offside could be done the same way. Let the technology decide it.

@footyprime.bsky.social A few thoughts.

VAR does not improve refereeing because it simply judges the game at a time scale that no one is playing the game at. Perhaps VAR can survive but don’t let the VAR use slow motion. If the error is clear and obvious, you won’t need slow motion to see it.

Sports!

Not the most pressing issue in the world, but the teams I love and follow and have a bit invested in are all having bad fortnights. The Canadian men's and women's Olympic teams both lost their gold medal games to the USA in overtime. Tottenham Hotspur has dropped both games of new manager…

I’m not either. And was actually pleasantly surprised by the result. Wednesday will be a different beast.

We really support the weirdest club. It’s like we’re suffer from the Cubs’ curse except no one knows what caused it in the first place.

My perennial comment on her: “three quarter of the world is covered by water and the rest is covered by Vanessa Gilles.”

It was not to be today. Rovers women have one more match to secure a point and win the league ahead of playoffs in a couple of weeks.

A beautiful day in the Lower Mainland. A few Swanguardians are heading out to Coquitlam (Charles Best, 4pm) to see if our @tssrovers.bsky.social women can win the Metro Women’s League. 1 point wraps it up. Join us!

37 MLAs voted to repeal the human rights of British Columbians

I wondered why the weather was so nice this weekend!? Welcme Casey!

Match is at 4pm. Let me know if you guys want to come and I’ll pick you up. It’il just be a few of us out there but shoukd be fun.

You’re in Vancouver? You should come out to Coquitlam tomorrow and watch our Rovers women win their winter league (as long as they win or draw)

Just saw Daniel Lapp and Quinn Bachand on Bowen Island, and oh man. An unreal performance. Read on....

it IS fun to be part of an uptick isn’t it?
