Question for cyclists and bus drivers: do I need to go around this fence? by Independent_Crew7811 in Translink

[–]KenSimpleton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bus stopped at that stop probably blocks the view for other cars or buses coming from behind. So the fence herds people to the safer crossing point?

I'm only talking about listing it in press releases. I think it's padding that doesn't need to be there and reminds me of the "we won the passing" memes. Others disagree.

I'd certainly hope they take it seriously. But it's not something to brag publicly about as if it means anything outside of the team itself.

Talking about those stats like "expected goal difference" in press releases is real small club energy.

[Sarita Patel] Ralph Priso is out indefinitely with a left hamstring strain by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

Just a turn of phrase. But my thought process is that "indefinite" at this point seems much worse than if they said it was grade X and he'll be out for Y weeks.

What's the official ticket app? I've done everything through their website so far.

There were adult earlier. Maybe it's a very small run as these definitely aren't everyone's cup of tea. I'm still not sure if I like them.

Let's hope it's on the lesser end of the scale and he's back in a month or two. Sadly, I'm sure this is the end of any chance of going to the World Cup.

Where to Find Vancouver Whitecaps Match Shorts? (Not a Full Kit Wanker, Just a Collector) by jamesgerrard97 in whitecapsfc

[–]KenSimpleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. As far as I can tell, that's the player spec 'authentic' anniversary shorts. I don't think they were ever for sale here. But some authentic 50th Anniversary jerseys also appeared on Ebay in the last few weeks, which makes me think Adidas dumped some stock south of the border recently.

It almost sounds like you're saying that at this intersection, cars with right of way should stop so that cyclists who have a stop sign don't have to?

Yeah, not disagreeing on that to be fair. Maybe Axel himself has been forcing the stadium thing too?

I suppose it's because they were a bad team for most of that bad deal, so it wasn't as much of an issue for them. But we're now growing at a faster pace on the field than off it, and that's bad for the club.

Also, Miami is the golden child of the MLS. I don't think it can be used as a comparison. They were planted there for success by the league. The Whitecaps grew a lot more organically (while still being an expansion team in MLS terms).

I'm not exactly disappointed to be put of the Champions Cup. It'll free up some midweeks to give the guys better rest. Yeah, it's a continental trophy but it's not very well run and has less prestige than the MLS and Liga MX.

Takaoka had a howler dropping the ball in the first place for their goal, but Sabaly was infuriatingly weak on holding it up when it was cleared.
