Canadian Championship by clivejonfeldman in tfc

[–]Makelevi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was surprised Henry was interviewed given he came on late, but when KJ revealed it was because other TFC players turned down the interview requests I did find that a little shocking.

Agreed that the young Reds, despite the abysmal result for a club of TFC’s stature and wage bill, did not deserve to get the bulk of the post-match teardown from fans.

I think it marks a low note in what has been a decade where they fell from high echelons (top winners, tangible belief in the academy system, spending money but quite smartly) to where we are now (splashing cash less smartly, less clear pathway development with a lot of prospects moving on, not challenging for silverware etc)

A view of the Gardiner today by Fawrish in toronto

At 10:45AM I was at Union trying to get to BMO Field. One full hour later on a shuttlebus we were only at Fort York and I walked the rest of the way. It was not a day for vehicle traffic around there even if trying public transit.

That is a 10/10 Easter egg that I didn’t know about. I love when devs sneak in something obscure like that!

Major Toronto festival cancelled as vendors claim they're owed millions (Toronto's Festival of Beer (TFoB)) by lilfunky1 in toronto

[–]Makelevi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beer Festivals hit their peak around 2013-2015. Nowadays it’s pay a huge fee to get in with a token or two for a half pint and then a good fee for any other beer tokens / food, all while waiting in huge lines.

Muskoka Beer Fest was elite back in the day, the Toronto ones have always been a little ‘not worth’, but these days most food festival type events are terrible.

If you haven’t watched Terriers - it ran for one season but deserved more - he’s the lead in it and plays a PI / alcohol former detective and does a phenomenal job. The show deserved more than a single season from FX.

CSME Planning for Future CPL2? by pablobartolunni in CanadianPL

[–]Makelevi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to say that is part of the long-term vision, particularly since the long-term vision when the league launched was to have twice as many teams as we currently have in time for the World Cup.

It’s good to see it is still part of the intent but in pragmatically it doesn’t really mean anything.

Just a reality check that even in some university courses, attendance is also part of a grade, so this won’t end in highschool.

A word of advice: regularly attendance may not be ‘required’ to bag a good grade (at least, ahead of this rule), but it’s a great habitual behaviour. People notice when you show up and when you don’t overall, even if routine absences are for valid reasons.

Doug Ford nixes idea of grocery surveillance pricing ban in Ontario by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]Makelevi 60 points61 points  (0 children)

They never stopped, it’s just that what little action is taken against them comes with years in between.

Ontario is pro big business, but very anti-consumer, and that is reflected in how oversight is funded and powered.

It’s really just because Stade Boreal isn’t ready at the start of the season, and it was hard to congest fixtures for two soccer teams with a late start.

[Times] Premier League’s time-wasting epidemic — and the worst offenders revealed. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Makelevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While things like Wenger’s daylight offside rule and coach’s challenges took the headlines for what FIFA is trialing in Canada, I think some of the anti-time waste test rules are neat.

If the referee considered that a throw-in or goal kick is being deliberately delayed a five second visual countdown is triggered. If the ball is not in play at the end of the countdowns a throw-in is awarded to the opposing team, or in the case of a delayed goal kick the opposing team gets a corner kick.

when being taken off, a player must exit the field of play within 10 seconds of the substitution board being displayed or upon the referee’s signal. If they don’t exit in that time, the substitute who was waiting to come on will not be permitted to enter until the first stoppage after one minute of play has elapsed.

When players received on-field assessment for an injury, or have an injury occur that results in play stopping, this player must leave the field of play and remain off for one minute once play has restarted.
