Conclusion after this weekend’s games: A team from Ontario that wears red jerseys should never, ever want its opponents to have players sent off.

“We should find out today (Thursday) about one of them,” Miller said after Thursday’s training session. “Maybe Monday about another one, and then Friday or Saturday for the other one. We’re in the market, we know we have to bring in some bodies. Some will come in as cover and some will come in to put other people under pressure.”

On Monday, New York Justice Ellen M. Coin dismissed the lawsuit brought upon the team and the NASL by Canadian midfielder Mozzi Gyorio, who is now a member of the Ottawa Fury.

After a 46-minute delay because of lightning and torrential rain, the Eddies got spectacular goalkeeping from Matt VanOekel and a fantastic goal from Daryl Fordyce as they beat the Strikers 1-0.

It’s official. Fullback Shawn Nicklaw, who had been on trial with the club for more than a week, is now an Eddie.

“I am speaking with a couple of agents about the international spot, of course, that has become available through Ritchie Jones leaving the club,” said Miller after Tuesday’s training session.

“It was not a good performance from us in the first half, it was better in the second half,” said FCE coach Colin Miller. “We had so many players not at pace today, but, at the end of the day, nobody could begrudge us a point.”

“Allan will play on Saturday, which is great” said FCE coach Colin Miller after Wednesday’s training session. “He’s done very well in training, he hasn’t let us down with the first team. It’s a big opportunity for him. And having Shawn in here for a look for a couple of weeks, it’s great for us. He knows the league, he’s an experienced player and he’s a very good athlete. He’s done well so far.”

This was simply a case of the club doing the right thing for a player who needed to be closer to home. And while it’s tough to lose the club’s everyday starting right back, it does send a message to players and agents that FCE is a team that tries to do right by its players.
