Grass at BMO remains a contentious issue
STEVEN SANDOR
If a game between Toronto FC and Real Madrid -- on natural turf at BMO Field -- is to happen, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. would be responsible for putting down a temporary grass field and tearing it up when the match is over.
"If MLSEL wishes to convert the field to grass it needs to get the permission of the owner ... the City of Toronto and the board of Exhibition Place," Joe Pantalone, the deputy mayor and chairman of the Exhibition Place board, said.

If the tiebreaker was
First Points (If we beat Montreal we both have 9)
the next tie breaker is Goal differential in matches between the teams that are drawn... (We won 1-0 and Van won 2-0)

Thus Vancouver Whitecaps won the Championship as they are +1 no matter what amount we beat the Limp-act

Why do we need to win by 4? how will that change Tiebreaker Rule # 2?

the CSA document says those 2 tiebreaker rules you refer to are for three way ties.
So you have to skip over those two rules go to goal differential in all games.
That's why people say we need to win by 4. We are even on points head to head with Vancouver, then you skip over those rules for 3-way ties, and go to goal differential as the second test.

We're getting grass at BMO??? Cool!!!

So MLSE can get grass so that our pub-quality team can play on a better surface?

If it brings in a DP, I'm all for it. But somehow I doubt that would ever happen.

I can't believe the luck of this team...
This is absolute garbage..
I've seen rep teams that finish better then tfc..

What about ML$E where is their take on this shit. Why are they so mum on the subject (counting your money??). Where is that DP that you have promised us for sometime now.
I feel like not attending this weekends game and leaving the seat empty in demonstration of my anger towards the F.O .
For being such promise makers and such huge promise breakers.

WE NEED A GODDAMN PROVEN STRIKER NOW!!!!!!!!

Super
06-03-2009, 11:33 AM
So many people said that bringing in a DP striker would be a risk - and that we needed to be so very careful on who we brought in, coz we would want to make sure he was the right fit. Well, NOT getting a DP striker is a risk as well, and we ran the risk and lost.

End of.
