[Anyone here post at riderfans?]

 

I like Riderfans. A lot of knowledge gets passed around there.

 

But it's not the most objective board I've ever visited.

 

Everything that is bad is bad. Unless a Rider does it. Then it's not bad. Which happens a lot of places. But I think it's amped up a bit on RF. Might just be the volume of their userbase though.

see: Ricky Foley CFLPA comments

 

When you get past that, it's an interesting read.

You forgot to mention that if you are a fan of another team then you are targeted for attack by the wheatheads over there which is why I stopped posting there nearly 10 years ago. I'd  never go back. Plus I hate the team & the fanbase so I wouldn't anyway. 

 

 

That Migs dude posted on riderfans at one point, didn't he?

[Anyone here post at riderfans?]

ZOMG teh Riderz are soooooooooooooo awesome111!!!!! Best team ever!!11!!! Why are we so blessed?!?! 

 

 

there now you don't need to go to rider fans I just summed up the entire place. 

 

Well, I kind of want somewhere to talk on game day.

 

No Rider talk on here .

[Anyone here post at riderfans?]

Just looked. I am now active! Thanks guys .

[Anyone here post at riderfans?]

Because I can't post there, because my account hasn't been activated yet. Can someone on here who is active there let the admins (CalgaryRiderfan or Chaps) know and tell them to activate my account? Thanks .

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

you guys worry too much, this was never in question.

You clearly weren't reading the articles. There were writers and players saying that the cba could potentially be turned down. It was a possibility.

Anyways, I don't really care anymore. Football is upon us, and this cba stuff is done.

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

**** yea! Football time .

Breaking: CBA has been ratified.

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

Yes they are. Can't ******* wait until this crap is done, and we can watch some football.

From the twitter feed on the side of the forum:

 

Scott Mitchell @SUNMitchell

Ratification deadline came and went about 1hr ago. Reps have conference call tonight, but Stamps reps don't expect results til morning #CFL

 

 

Oh gosh, no  .

 

Lord, they just keep on delaying this bullshit.

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

They won't vote against it. If the CFLPA tells them to ratify it they will ratify it otherwise why do they even have the PA representing them in the first place? Quit worrying about nothing. 

 

This is true. I'm always worried about the possibility of having no football though, even if it's a slim chance.

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

We'll hear it tonight. I'm assuming 8 pm is EDT?

 

Yes, that is EDT. So 6 for me, and 7 for alot of you guys.

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

probably won't hear nothing until tomorrow... after the board of governors vote on it even.

 

Except that what is the point to the board of governors voting if the players end up rejecting the CBA? I'm we'll hear something tonight.

For those using IE, change to Chrome. It's way freaking better.

[CFLPA Ratification Vote Thread]

Oh my ******* word. This worries me sick. Just ratify it already!

[Deal done!]

Ratification to take place Thursday according to a source requesting anonymity. 

[GDT: Argos @ Bombers]

 

TSN at 6:30pm MDT. Looking forward to this one. Last year it was 24 to 3 and thankfully wasn't televised. I wonder, are all the preseason games being telivised this year, or only a select few like last year?

 

This game, BC vs. Edmonton, Saskatchewan vs. Ottawa, Winnipeg vs. Calgary, Ottawa vs. Montreal, and Calgary vs. BC are on TV.

 

Montreal vs. Hamilton, and Saskatchewan vs. Edmonton are not on TV.

 

 

Add Hamilton vs. Toronto to the non-tv list.

[Deal done!]

Cornish says he's expecting the deal to go through.

[Deal done!]

 

 

Matt Scianetti (sp??) just tweeted that sources tell him the cba will be rattified.

 

Can you quote the tweet?

Thanks.

 

This gives me some more hope.

[Madani: CFLPA Recommends Strike Vote To Members]

David William Naylor ‏@TSNDaveNaylor 1m

According to a source, strike votes have been counted on 7 of the 9 CFL teams. 98 per cent in favour of a strike. #cfl #CFLPA

 

They're having another strike vote at McMahon Stadium on Saturaday, so my educated guess is that the 2 teams that haven't voted yet are Edmonton & Calgary.
