that "hard object" sure as hell looks like a bag or piece of paper, hell even a wetnap or whatever, it doesnt look like a rock, or glass, i didnt know we had white rocks in toronto that float in the air.

How can you trust any site that proudly displays, and bills itself with the phrase "...Got the Dirt? Give us the scoop..." aka "we'll post anything anyone submits to us"... Brutal...

As for the "hard object", It look like a ball of soaking wet napkins to me...

As for the pitch invader - what an IDIOT... Notice the ref motions to Carver and the forth official that he's adding an extra minute onto the clock (looks like that)... I pray to god one of these guys doesn't do it in a 1-goal game, then our opponents even the score in the added minute...

Carts...

Exactlty!

MLSRumors = National Enquirer of soccer blogs. Drivel.

The pitch invader did cost us an extra minute of extra time. He's an idiot but I wish peoplle would boo rather than cheer when crap like that happens.

The only thing I saw chucked onto the field was a crumpled up beer cup during a LA throw in.

The only thing I saw was a streamer that didn't unravel bounce off a Galaxy player's back. And I did see the referee motion for an extra minute because of the invader.

They do get a lifetime ban. Remember the first one who ran to midfield? It was in the paper he did it to impress his GF on a youtube video. Well the story goes in the paper she left him, and he got a lifetime ban. haha good job

People who do that are part time supporters, they'll never be back anyways

There were (as usual) many hard object coming out of the stands again this week. Although it's totally innapropriate to blame a group on these acts we need to stop acting like it doesn't happen here. Cause it does, every game.

he seemed more pissed at the empty plastic cup that came down after the 90th minute than at the tape

It is Jade from Big Soccer that runs the site as far as I know.

She is cute (according to her profile pic) but that pic may be just as fake as her MLS Rumours articles :D

Ya it happens every single game.

Im not going to be pointing anyone out (unless theyve pissed me off and got me in the wrong mood) but they gotta start throwing people out for throwing crap. I see at least one beer, usually some corn, and streamers balled up every game.

Dont be throwing beer all the time so that when someone tries to shush the crowd again they can get a healthy BMO shower.

Streamer are the limit…absolutely nothing else…

Bottles…beer…pitch invasions all make us look like immature schoolboys…which many of us clearly are…

There are people who really believe this makes us hardcore fans…there were two assholes sitting behind me…one screaming at the top of his lungs…"The refs a fuckin' c*nt"…finally I turned and said, "Enough Little Dick" and he tells me to fuck off…

There's a woman with two small boys, decked out in their TFC gear and she says, "Yeah guys enough…" and he tell her to shut up and watch the game!

Finally they just left to the jeers of the section…I'm getting really fed up with these punks who think this is what being a supporter is about…

The only way to deal with this is to get everyone who feels the same way as you to voice their opinions on it as it's happeneing (as you said happend)

Side story: I was waiting in line at Braisson Head to get in. 4 girls walk up to the doorman to try and get in ahead of everyone else...the whole lineup starts booing and jeering them, doorman looks up and tells them to head to the back of the line.

THERE'S POWER IN NUMBERS PEOPLE!!!!

As for the pitch invader....well that happens everywhere...Even in Golf....

Some clown near me dunked his rolled streamer into a beer to give Cronin a wet one.

I truly cannot understand how one can waste such precious liquid on schoolyard level stuff.

Anybody find the humour in the "Poll" on the left side of the page asking: "What should be the penalty for Columbus/Crew supporters?"

The one option says: "Crew play next match in an empty stadium"

:lol: (too easy..)

I SOOOO agree with this post.

Even the guys that I sit with in 118 who I consider to be pretty good supporters (aren't in any "group" but go to every game and sing their hearts out) agree that we aren't there to be dicks. To call the ref a wanker when he makes a good call just because it's against TFC? Stupid. To throw anything other than streamers on the pitch? Stupid. And to get the game extended because some douche decides to run on the pitch...listen dude...unless you are naked and have written "TFC" on your chest...it ain't impressing me. My buddy who I was with was laughing and said "Yeah, that's cool" and I disagreed with him and said "See? They extended the game by a minute...what would have happened if this was only a 1 goal game and the extended minute allowed for a tying goal?" He didn't say anyhing.

I hope that guy was a STH...so that the lifetime ban hurts even more.

the throwing of stuff really should stop..i mean somethrew a popsicle in from of the LA keeper foolwed by the roll of tape...what did they expect him to do tape it to his mouth? the day when a netting in the supporters end is coming, but lets hope it doesn't come to that.

That's exactly what happened…these clowns felt the pressure…

Everyone has the right to support their club in whatever way they choose…but my 75 year old father or the single mom with her two boys don't need to be subjected to the c-word at a TFC game…that's not supporting your team…that just being an asshole…

It's about respect…for your follow supporters and the Club…

I'm 90% sure what was thrown on the pitch in that video was a rolled up streamer, that had been thrown before and given back to the crowd...it became wet, compressed and didn't open the second time it was thrown. I say that because I sat in 120 (row 3) and saw a lot of that happening on Saturday and the object in the video looks and acts the exact same way.

That site is a fucking joke. That supposed "hard object" was just a soggy streamer, and the piece that "broke off" was just water kicking up from the field and reflected in the sun after the downpour.

What a joke.

They've updated their blog to include:

Additionally an anonymous poster named "H Bomb" on theRed Patch Boys forums stated:

"There were (as usual) many hard object coming out of the stands again this week. Although it's totally innapropriate to blame a group on these acts we need to stop acting like it doesn't happen here. Cause it does, every game."

Should we feel violated somehow? I sorta do and none of those were my posts.

This is just a reminder to us all that a lot of people read what we post and things can be taken out of context very easily.

Be careful what you say/type on a public forum.

Also, to add to the lameness: Why is it that the cops stand and glare all game at the supporters sections while both pitch invaders have come from other parts of the stadium? Kind of funny if you ask me.

while that MLS rumors website is shite, they are right about more than streamers being thrown onto the field. Im not saying hard objects like they claim but I do see a lot of garbage being thrown onto the field this season. If you wanna throw something, buy some streams. That’s the only thing that should be thrown. and the idiots who run onto the field are just wasting everyone’s time. Both the pitch invaders and morons throwing garbage onto the field might think they are adding to the atmosphere but its the exact opposite.
