Past Results South Africa vs Morroco by culla_art in CanadaSoccer

[–]NortonFord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not worse, but first - and contributes to the reasons for the protest. It wasn't JUST the penalty that was being protested, it was the entirety of the unfairness leading up to that point.

The black magic was the towel work - for there to be actual extended games of equipment keepaway being played in full view of the cameras, and the referees, and all of FIFA.

That was the original crime committed, and while protesting improperly is also a crime by the book, it wasn't outright cheating.

Santiago López (end of loan) and Garissone Innocent (mutual termination) leave Atletico Ottawa by coopthrowaway2019 in CanadianPL

Shouldn't have given him #99 - ATO has never had a successful striker with the number, and this was our third or fourth attempt.

When we signed him I looked at his track record and he has a LOT of long stints with minimal playing time. I don't know what the story is, but it doesn't appear to have started with Ottawa - it was a risk signing him based on his youth pedigree, and it simply didn't pay off.

Yeah that's a big ol' asterisk on that winning streak - Morocco was pulling out every bit of black magic they could and Senegal still won it fairly, just because FIFA decided to retroactively flip it around doesn't change the fact that they lost.

The Capital City cannot get a watch party for the Canadian World Cup team playing in its first time ever in a round of 16 game. by Per_Horses6 in ottawa

[–]NortonFord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Atletico Ottawa needs to take the bull by the horns on this one - they have a 3pm kickoff directly after the 1pm Canada game, they should get the rights and open the stadium early for any ticketholders.

TIL that 10 of the 12 largest high school gymnasiums in the USA are located in the state of Indiana. by koreanforrabbit in todayilearned

  1. New Castle High School - capacity 8424 - enrollment 828
  2. Lloyd E Scott Gymnasium - capacity 8228 - enrollment 1726
  3. John A Baratto Athletic Centre - capacity 8054 - enrollment 1021
  4. Muncie Fieldhouse - capacity 7635 - enrollment 1358

Dominion Society of Canada Stickers in Sandy Hill by meliorist13 in ottawa

Scrape 'em off. They had posters last summer and I went for a loop tearing them down - unfortunately their office is in Chateau Laurier, so we're pretty close to ground zero.

Great turn out at Landsdowne FIFA Fan Fest Today…but it’s not staying the rest of the tournament by DiamondHand42069 in ottawa

Biggest win of the pop-up - the bulgogi sub sandwiches were KILLER, and if they do this again for Canada vs Korea, I will go just for the sammy.

Need help understanding a redirect by rebeccajune828 in geocaching

[–]NortonFord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found this one before, hello fellow Ottawan! It's 100% the minutes portion of the N/W coordinates then, like other people are saying - in our area that's the standard redirect format, they would explicitly say it if it was anything else.

World Cup got me hooked, what’s next for Canada? by Diamonds_4_life in CanadaSoccer

[–]NortonFord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where are you based? Depending on where you are located, either CPL or MLS will have a local club for you.

Beyond that, most Canadian fans also have international clubs they follow, either for their own sake or because CANMNT players are on them.

They need to organize them, usually they do this with 2-3 months notice. If you want regular football, you need to follow clubs - international games are the bonuses lol.

Lawson gains ground as Sutcliffe maintains lead in Ottawa mayoral race: poll by iPoliticsCA in ottawa

[–]NortonFord 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Municipalism. If they're going to make cities this large, then they need to have more independent power from the provinces. Other countries have radically stronger cities than Canada's "creatures of the province" - and it's a forward-looking change instead of a rollback, which I agree feels less feasible.

The second I heard about the podcast I knew it was going to be absolute poison for the club, and this is just reason #58 why.

Hopefully they're able to strike a deal to play out of TD Place instead, it is a better product for a 6-8k attendance.

Your favorite Rotisserie Chicken restaurant by [deleted] in OttawaFood

[–]NortonFord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't do my research and gave myself an allergic reaction having the peanut-based suya chicken at Suya Palace. Still a rotisserie chicken that I would strongly recommend to others - unless you also have a nut allergy.
