Episode 189: Dude, Where’s My Replay?

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate the grand re-opening of Westhills stadium amidst a flurry of officiating controversy in multiple Canadian Premier League matches. We are joined by Pacific FC’s Dean Shillington (Chairman) and Brad Norris-Jones (Vice-president, Operations) to discuss the momentous moment. Valour FC’s Rob Gale minces no words in his post-match comments. Also, we lament the same controversial refereeing in FC Edmonton’s match against York 9 and dip into the mailbag, per usual.

Episode 186: Criticism and Confusion

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes weigh the recent in-and-out roster moves with Emery Welshman and David Edgar at Forge FC. Will Edgar prove the stalwart that Forge need to bolster the back? Will several able replacements fill the void that Welshman leaves? John Herdman offers an interesting perspective on Canada’s backline. Gareth Bale gets a tough ride from Real Madrid, or is it to be expected? Also, we dip into the mailbag, and it’s a beauty!
