    Sanyang can play vs RM
    “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

    Although I agree with you about the Barrett subsitution, you've never seen him play for even a minute. How could you possibly make that distinction?

    thats the thing ive never seen him play,i dont know if you have, and i can be sure cummins only seen him in practice ? but what im saying is hes never played in any competive 1st team action, so how does it make him possible for substitution just because he is eligible to play. I'm eligible, why cant i play? why not Gala?

    Cummins shouldve played him in the River Plate game IF anything, but goes back to saying this organization is not run adequately

    gala won't play this season so he doesn't lose his CIS eligibility

    If Sanyang can produce ANYTHING, that gives a lot of options with the team, trading, formations, etc... TFC has way too many attacking players, and none to play on the outside of midfield.

    WHAT THE F....
    so technically TFC has a roster of 20 now?

    so i dont get it why does he dress for every game as if he is going to play...
    and what Uni does he play for?

    and TFC needs a PDL so players they have signed who cant play, cant still play

    Strange that he didn't get minutes against River if they are thinking of using him.

    Prizby: I know you are fond of making this assertion, but I am moved to respond - a developmental contract does not affect CIS eligibility (see Djekanovic, Srdjan, for example).

    Lombardo got in trouble because he played a few minutes on a SR minimum contract in April, 2008, which Paul James should have known (because it's crystal clear in the CIS regs) disqualified him playing for York until a calendar year after his last "pro" appearance.

    Exactly - he's not an MLS employee until Saturday...so he can't play in their events...

    I'm not sure what the birthday has to do with it. Wasn't Ibrahim 17 when he got his start last year?

    You can play in your domestic league under 18 but you can't play in a foreign league until you are 18. Ibby has US citizenship.

    Excellent point barca. We lacked creativity coming from the midfield yesterday, save from Cronin. True wide players can help stretch defenses and create space. That could have come in handy yesterday against a Puerto Rico team playing not to concede. Brennan had been doing a decent job in that role in the previous few games, when he got the chance. We're too thin at the back to use him that way right now.

    he didn't play last season, comes in for his first game (him and kilian elkinson or w.e his name was) in the OUA playoffs and sets up 2 goals to beat my school 2-1

    this i didn't know, i thought it was once you play a game, your screwed for the year (hence lombardo)

    york still owned even with the 4 forfeits...quite retarded of the RMC coach to put the complaint in 4 games into the season when his team wasn't gonna make the playoffs and never was gonna play York...could have made york forfeit a lot more games!!!
