  1. Setting Bob Irving aside as he is one of the best has anyone else found CJOBs broadcast getting tired.The fact they don't send an entire crew toroad games just smacks of penny pinching.I enjoy Doug Browns articles but he seems to try to hard on air . I've found myself doing the 1290 pregame but wishing Irving was there.Am I alone?

     

    I'd agree with this.   On the post game show, after the coach's interview, I will move to TSN1290.  And don't get me started on the number of commercials they play.

    There's a reason they're able to play so many commercials.......massive listenership.

    If you are talking cjob their ratings are on a steady decline as I understand it.I just know my own opinion and it seems Bob spends large parts of the show trying to hold it togeather.Seems like a shame to me that he has to do it.

     

     

    Yeah I don't understand how they get the ratings to do.

    Because they're f***ing good.....I don't listen to Wpg radio, obviously, but I know they're the best station in the city for a reason (tho CBC just beat 'em in the ratings for the first time in forever...)

  3. oh blech.  I don't want to see this board get dragged into which sport is better or more popular.  Soccer is popular all over the world because all you need is a ball and a field and away soccero.  So anyone can play it, unlike hockey, football, ice dancing, you name it.  The point some of us were trying to make here is that the Bombers got caught with their pants down yet again, on an issue they had plenty of advance notice about.

    ya I got your point and I understand.I agree more advanced notice would be good.Do you get my point? Just because an event isn't your thing, why drag it down? This is a huge event for Winnipeg . I'm not comparing sports.I prefer hockey, CFL, NFL, and then soccer.

  4. Yes, an event so coveted no other country bid to host it.

     

    Soccer may be the most popular sport in the world but not in Canada.

    More people play socer than hockey.Every single day will out draw training camp. It is one year . Can't you support something other than the thing you are interested in.My arguement has been used by many football fans when we look for support for theBB or the stadium.
  5. I don't know how many of the anti-socer people watched the last Olympics but the Canadian women were phenomenal. They play a very tough, physical brand and did this country proud . It's training camp , and the up to 3000 people will have to give way to a packed, world event taking place in our city.Socer is the most popular sport in the world and in Canada. Set aside your aversions to a sport you just don't understand or is not your cup of tea and support the fact that Winnipeg scooped this major event.
