Stevenage release three and put three on the transfer list
Stevenage have released Andy Iro, Miguel Comminges and Bondz N'Gala and transfer-listed Anthony Grant, David Gray and Marcus Haber.

N'Gala had a spell at Barnet this season but still played 28 times, while fellow defender Comminges made 21 first-team appearances.

Iro was also loaned to Barnet and leaves without a senior Stevenage game to his name.

Grant, Gray and Haber have 12 months left on their contracts.

"Our income for last season was down 30% and this impacts on the maximum permitted budget we can allocate for players next season," chairman Steve Wallace told the club website.

"It's better for all that they move on to develop their careers. We've had some interest already so we'll see what will happen."

Striker Patrick Agyemang will also leave this summer after agreeing to join Portsmouth. ]]> Lordsnooty http://www.cansoc.org/showthread.php?46433-Marcus-Haber-Transfer-Listed http://www.cansoc.org/showthread.php?46418-Gold-Cup-on-Sportsnet-World&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 15:28:09 GMT I don't know if you saw this, but the new Sportsnet World ads are saying that the Gold Cup including Canadian games will be on SN World.

I thought the video with it was well done, and the survey's good in principal, but I can't see it actually influencing anything they do.

I thought it might be fun for people who are traveling to Seattle and Denver (or maybe in the future even for games in Canada or elsewhere) to add provincial flags to the march. The Saskies have had a provincial flag at many games recently, but I thought it might make a cool spectacle and also show the diversity of representation at these matches from around the country. If you are interested and wouldn't mind bringing a provincial flag to the games in Seattle and Denver, please post it in this thread. I might have to mug Lars to get his SK flag, but I will bring it (or a reasonable facsimile) to both Seattle and Denver.

I suppose other flags (from towns, cities, municipalities etc ... even soccer clubs) might be interesting to add to the mix, but for right now a good start would simply be flags from Provinces and Territories.

Players are added to the list once they score at least 2 goals on the season. Please post videos of goals and your comments. I will do my best to update the list on a weekly basis.

Most of these have been odd years due to the timing of the international tournaments: '81s, '87s, 93s, etc. Though the class of '90 also was highly touted. Yet despite hearing nothing about most of the '92s, they look to be some of our most promising professional players at the moment:

Russell Teibert, Jonathan Osorio, Maxime Tissot, Karl Ouimette, Lucas Cavallini, Daniel Haber, Joseph DiChiara, Taj Sangara. Who else am I missing? I guess Allando Matheson and a few guys in NCAA who could be making a splash by this time next year.
