We’ll never live it down (1 Viewer)

I recently moved to a different province and j just picked up my new licence plates.
The girl asked me what CCFC stands for. I proudly said “Coventry City Football Club”
I was ready to answer the usual questions “why is it football and not soccer? etc etc but to my surprise she said”I was just reading about them” unfortunately she followed up with “ Isn’t that the team that Ryan Reynolds’s just played against”?

Does that mean you've moved to beautiful BC? (Visited friends in Kelowna last year and it certainly was!).
You should have asked who Ryan Reynolds is and who he plays for!

Moved in October to Vancouver Island. Saturday games went from 8:00a.m. to 7:00a. m. but no more minus 45 degree winters.

I went to Vancouver in a September years ago, the whole idea of Canada being all snow and mounties fooled me, it was like a tropical paradise. Alberta in November though, now there's cold.

Do you get to choose your plate?

 

[CDK]

The power of the FA cup ,lol

 

[Johhny Blue]

Do you get to choose your plate?

Yes for a “small” fee

We went to Vancouver for a few days but sadly didn't get to the island.
Agree with ajsccfc - the city is very different to the interior. Lovely counyty to visit.

Wouldn’t worry too much, they know as much about footy as we do about Hockey.

Always wanted to visit Canada, even the French-speaking parts…if there’s any left?

Definitely French speaking parts. Bit sparse apart from Quebec though I think.

Montreal too, I think, well it used to be.

Was thinking to myself ‘How many Canadian footballers are/have been prominent in the past?’ and aside from Alphonso Davies, I’m a bit stumped. There’s Hutchinson who played for FC Copenhagen, and who else?

I keep thinking Wynton Rufer was Canadian, but he’s a Kiwi of course.

Just googled it as I was intrigued and you’re right there’s not been many.

A previous custodian of the Mrs D title was from North Wales…It wasn’t the easiest of splits.
I ain’t seen her for over 10 years. Bumped into her this week when I was walking home from work.
And the first fucking thing she says…

Was it:
…do you want me back?
…I was pregnant when we split…you have a 9 1/2 yr old daughter
Or…hahaha lost to a non league side…AGAIN

We had a Canadian international play for us

In which case, perhaps they can pretend Wynton Rufer was one of their own.

I guess all of the sporting avenues are pretty thin in Canada, except the Hockey one.

C’mon we had one just a few years ago.

Yes, haha, just realised. Can we pretend he didn’t play for us?

owen Hargreaves’s - sort of

 

[Johhny Blue]

There’s also one that won a league title and champions league title with Man Utd in 2007

 

[Johhny Blue]

Grendel you’re on the ball this morning. That’s twice you’ve beaten me while I was typing

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Forgot about Hargreaves, why didn’t he sign again? Was it a case of Man Utd just hijacking the deal?

All of the above!

 

[Johhny Blue]

There’s another that played for a midlands club whose managing director was his wife.
He played for 9 British clubs altogether (and managed a different midlands club where his claim to “fame” was turning down the chance to sign a young Jamie Vardy)

But I might have a slight chance if next years is all Canadian players

With Josh Barrett and Ponticelli no less, a terrifying attack... for the home fans I mean

Michael Petrasso had a loan spell with us as a youngster... thought he had some potential... no idea what he went on to though....
