You talk to casual fans or the ones who may buy the odd ticket to a game or only watch briefly in a bar. The ones the CFL is trying to reel in as new fans. They'll tell you the CFL is a joke & they don't want to watch because of the Mickey Mouse officiating. It's sad but true. We're hooked so we'll watch regardless & tell everyone how great our game is, but to that % of people they feel differently. Perception is everything. To the football fans who are NFL or nothing all these flags & blown calls just validates that they'll never support the CFL & that real football starts in September. You can't put duct tape on this problem hoping to fix it as it's just too big. You have to tear it out & start all over.

Too many errors are being made. The CFL has made it virtually impossible now for a game not to have at least 2 or 3 contraversial calls made. They had a chance to fix the PI & incidental contact rules this off season but shockingly chose to sit on their hands & do nothing when it should have been taken care of. They allow challenges now to be fishing expeditions by head coaches as in "The BC Lions are challenging pass interference on their receiver #87 by Alouettes defender #31. We will review the play", Even though the so called interference was on the opposite side of the field where the ball was thrown. IC called by a receiver simply targeting & running into a DB or they're hand fighting. Sorry, the CFL & Glenn Johnson caused this stinking pile of crap & the smell that's gone with it. Fans are being turned off, games are being affected. If Randy Ambrosie doesn't fix this after this season the CFL will be in big trouble if it isn't already. Again, I have absolutely no sympathy for the officials. I hold jeff Orridge responsible for letting Glenn Johnson run wild as Head of Officials as he was clueless as Commissioner. Johnson absolutely has to go as well as coaches challenges, PI & IC rules downfield need to be changed as well as replay reviews closely scrutinized this off season. The game has to be given back to the players & fans. In their effort to "make it right", the CFL has got it all wrong.

But more times than not in a CFL game. They can't even get it right using technology.

Ti Cats looked like they had early in the game then like a balloon with a slow leak, they just deflated as a team.

Jacquie, if I was PM, I'd have litigated until the cows came home to prevent Khadr from collecting one cent. If it took years & cost many more millions then so be it just so Khadr & his family couldn't get their grubby hands on any of it until all legal avenues were exhausted. That's how I feel.

Oh well, not a lot of sympathy for the officials from me.

Probably the truth is somewhere in the middle. When does Collaros's contract expire? He may want out.

Never was a Moore fan. He was a total disappointment here. Always injured. Didn't contribute much.

There was a fella named Austin Who used to be a coach Now he thinks he'll take up crop dustin'.

Money well spent.

Best thing that happened to the Lions was Jennings getting hurt. Austin will cut the guy who injured Jennings.

Ti Cats making it respectable.

They never felt sorry for us.

This is all on Austin.

Mount Austin starting to stir. #PIcall

Anyone want to go to chat?

Mt Austin so far looks dormant.

Mark Washington's defense look like swiss cheese this evening... Can't stop the run or the pass.

Jennings is the most overrated starter in the CFL.

Hamilton's sucky db lets Lulay tackle him on that pick on the 2 point convert. LOL!

Lulay with the TD pass. Wally chewing his cheek.

If they lose tonight & the RedBlacks start winning, it's going to be tough. Argos are indeed better. Still early in the season to turn things around.

Family time yet returned to the CFL a year later with another team. Like I said, always has been speculation as to why Condell actually left. I don't think everyone buys the family time thing. I've never seen a game where Kent Austin is ever looking like he's enjoying himself. He's constantly looks stressed & is this close to losing it. Noeller mentioned Doug Berry. That is exactly what he's like. Only Kent's the GM as well as HC. Might take longer for the GM to fire the Head Coach. Scott Mitchell may have to do the dirty deed if the losing continues. Pulling for you guys tonight for sure.

Kent Austin frequently flies off the handle on the sidelines during games when things aren't going well & when dealing with media after a loss. After awhile having a raving lunatic as a head coach really means nothing as the players know they'll still be there as it's easier to replace one person than 46. He's losing it in many ways. His team & as a coach. As a former player he should know better. It's never been revealed why Tommy Condell left. I wouldn't be surprised if he just got tired of having to deal with Austin everyday.

Adams crushed him with a block. Drove Sears back more than 5 yards.
