OT: CF Montreal Thread - Civics, welcome to HFCFM Edition

[Yannman]

There were pictures of him in training. It might be a language thing. Renard also said he expects Hamdi to take a bit to adapt culturally so maybe they’re just being patient.

I’d imagine that “not in the group” is more like “not training as part of the 18” unless there was an injury that was never announced.

ramadan I think

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

ramadan I think

I'm pretty sure that's the reason, yeah. He should be around by mid may.

 

[Habs Icing]

ramadan I think

Why Ramadan? Muslims are simply restricted when they can eat during Ramadan. Not whom they can fraternize with.

Difficult to train and play properly when you can't eat and drink for most of the day.

Except the poster said there were pictures of Hamdi training.

I think they're mostly trying to accomodate him the best they can, letting him adjust to a new environment, new languages and what not. I'm looking forward to seeing him play, but there's no rush here.

It’s a good time to being drawing Columbus since they’re in the middle of their CCL run against a very strong opponent. We might get a B team and nab a result.

Yeah I saw the pictures too, but it doesn't mean that he's training in the optimal way to get in game shape.

Like that TFC game.

I guess it's very telling of how this year has gone sport wise that I woke up this morning about 95% more hyped by the CFM match than I am about the Habs game

Been this way for years for me. I don’t mind losing teams, I mind boring teams.

Impact/CFMTL have been much more exciting game in and game out over the habs for years now.

Is there something wrong with Toye that I missed? Hurtado starting feels a bit weird

 

[Emanresu Wen]

Someone tweeted last week about trying Sejdic isnstead of Piette and it’s actually happening.

Interesting

[willzyix]

Weird that Toye is out and the replacement is Hurtado instead of Johnsen.

Also Hamdi on the bench so maybe not Ramadan? Haha.

He's injured.

 

[Krnage]

on the mls site.... in the injury report.... CF Montreal only have luis binks

also... Fourth official:Silviu Petrescu

I’m muslim and observe ramadan. I’ve played soccer many time while fasting. Sometimes we underrate our capacity as human beings. It’s mostly mental more than anything. Lots of soccer players in Europe play while fasting.

I think in his case they just want to give him the opportunity to adapt.

Piette is great defensively, but he kills transition. I do not mind giving Sejdic a shot.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Let's hope Bradley Wright-Phillips doesn't revive his old Montreal killer gimmick.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Mustard yellow shorts with a grey top really isnt a good look

 

[ArtPeur]

Montreal always has great starts so far this season.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The Sejdic-Mihailovic combo is already paying.
