Any details on the Gambian kids?
Does anyone know how they're settling in. Looks like Gomez has been on the bench a couple of times but hasn't gotten into a game yet.
Also, which of them scored the other day in the reserve match? Could've sworn it was a different name from these two.
Amadou Sanyang is not 18 yet, so he cannot dress for the senior team yet
they were in the community yesterday at a school i believe.
It was Gomez who bagged two vs U of T.
Wasn't Ibby playing for the senior team before he was 18?Originally Posted by prizby
Different rules between Ibby and the Gambians, I forget the details, visa related I think.
It has to do with being transferred internationally before turning 18.

Not to be a jerk about it, but I've seen this question asked and answered at least half a dozen times. Too bad that FAQ thing never got off the ground.
It did. For a while.
People didn't read it anyhow.
TELL ME A FREAKINGG ABOUTT IT!!
If you weren't derailing a thread that has nothing to do with that question, you wouldn't have to preface the statement.
Ibby is an American who was drafted into the league, the Gambian kid wasn't drafted he came on transfer from a foreign league and doesn't have a US passport so a different set of rules apply to him.
But I did preface the statement, which means I'm derailing the thread, which means that... you disapprove of me being off-topic? I'm sorry I'm not sure what you're getting at exactly (no sarcasm). Help?
He bagged two? at CB? that's a few for a defender
but not unheard of, esp on set plays
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
It's obvious: I hate utility companies and waiting around for repair reps, so I'm blaming it on you.
Well if he can net chances off of set plays then we should put him on the first team
I think they're happy to be here, given this story in yesterday's NYTimes

(no utility woes here, just good ol' derailing for the hell of it!)

^^^ yikes. Imagine growing up with that and then ending up in Toronto and asked to visit schools.
