Yep. Take Salter & his goals out of Ottawa and where are they? Keeping your best players healthy is so important.

New: At times, it was sloppy. It involved suffering. But @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social did what they needed to do, securing a 3-0 win over Valour FC to keep their chase for third on the table alive.

My latest for CanPL.ca.

Yeah, Tiago injury (then JB season ender) as 541 was rounding us into form was such a huge blow.

From Aways @fromawayshfx.bsky.social · 7h

Yep. So weird. He can hold an entire defence together on his own and cares so much about winning. And he definitely wanted to stay with you guys too. I'm so happy he's with us now though.

Why do you think TMG wasn't offered better terms to stay?

From Aways @fromawayshfx.bsky.social · 7h

4-3-3 was very effective for the first 13 games. It was then found out game 14 - 17. Game 18 changed to 5-4-1 and been hit & miss since then. 2023 was awful for 10 games, fantastic in the middle, inconsistent at the end. Similar season, just in a different order.

Wanderers have scored more than in 2023. They are a win away from the same points. They've won as many games. Won more away games.. etc. etc. Yet the mood feels different, less positive.

Theories on why?

Cheers to the 3pts. Shit streaming signal, great view.

Fond memories of Ollie Bassett telling me to shut up because I tweeted out that Zapater spent the whole match against us standing in the centre circle blowing fumes. A simpler time.

Happy retirement, big man 🫡

A career that has spanned over 𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒚 years 👏

Alberto Zapater will hang up his boots at the end of the #CanPL season.

Eternal Captain: Alberto Zapater To Retire At Season's End - Northern Tribune

Forty-year-old midfielder Alberto Zapater will be hanging up his boots at the season's end, but he might be doing so with a trophy.

Is your Fubo working? I'm trying to watch it, but the stream cut out and hasn't come back.

I was pitchside for Halifax/York. Watched him get sent off, then, off-camera, turn around, grab his balls, and shake them at the ref. God knows what he then did after the game behind closed doors to earn tne ban.

So that's a bit of a weird flex 😂

It's a bit grim. I was at the Y on South Park for years until I moved out this way. Now this is the closest one. Like going from a Michelin star steak to a Costco hotdog.

Watching Sammy Saltpot tuck one away while I'm at the gym. We've officially made it to the big time, lads.

So very well deserved. Very happy for you, Josh.

He's on a two-year deal, so unless they want drop a sack of money at our door, I expect he'll stay. Rea, Timoteo et al though... let's see.

I expect them to have anywhere from 2 - 5 of our current roster next season. Could be spicy!

Nearly spat my morning tea out when I saw a Survivor Series 97 reference in the Bundesliga recap. Lovely.

From Aways @fromawayshfx.bsky.social · 18d

Not sure how familiar you are with Athletic Bilbao, but they're a Spanish club who only use players from the Basque region. I have a feeling this team is going to attempt to be a Quebec version of that.

If Valour lose tonight we're guaranteed a play-off spot 🤞
