just for you

[Antoshka]

just missing a few tumbleweeds rolling by

[BayernTFC]

Lots of empty seats in the stands.

[Shakes McQueen]

Serioux got cute and almost cost us a goal there.

- Scott

[ForestGlade]

Glorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrious hi definition!

I'll be happy with a draw, but Houston's ripe for the picking today

[Shakes McQueen]

Lots of empty seats in the stands.

I expect them to fill out a lot in the first 15 minutes, but yeah, this is really odd. What gives?

- Scott

[Aroundtheworld]

Serioux's brain cramp nearly cost us a goal

[ForestGlade]

Check out all the empty seats. Do people still think it's a 3pm kickoff?

[BayernTFC]

What gives?
I don't know, and it is a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

[Shway]

omg barret...finish that

[TFC 420]

I expect them to fill out a lot in the first 15 minutes, but yeah, this is really odd. What gives?

- ScottExtra security checks today. They don't want anyone sneaking in booze.

[Antoshka]

vintage barrett

[Shway]

we can only start thinking if gerba gets those chances

[BayernTFC]

Nice chance for DeRo.

[Stryker]

I hate Serioux playing LB. We need him in front of goal far more than we need Brennen on the wing. Poor decisson making by Cummins IMO.

[BayernTFC]

Guevara with the hand to the face. Lucky not to get a yellow there.

[Shakes McQueen]

God man, HD makes all the difference in the world. This looks amazing. It's like night and day.

Thank god I have an LCD TV in my office.

- Scott

[Shway]

and the push

[Shakes McQueen]

Holy shit, what a shot by the Houston player there. It was like he chipped the ball, but with velocity.

- Scott

[Shway]

God man, HD makes all the difference in the world. This looks amazing. It's like night and day.

Thank god I have an LCD TV in my office.

- Scott


HD is it really?

i cant tell
and have a LCD TV

[ForestGlade]

I'm charging my dry cleaning to TFC's defence. Good god man

[Shakes McQueen]

HD is it really?

i cant tell
and have a LCD TV

Yeah, it definitely is. You can tell by the detail in the grass, and the sharpness of the player outlines.

- Scott

[ForestGlade]

Yeah, it definitely is. You can tell by the detail in the grass, and the sharpness of the player outlines.

- Scott

The sound also picks up gems like "You fucking pussy!" from the crowd

[Shakes McQueen]

I'm charging my dry cleaning to TFC's defence. Good god man

Yeah, that corner was bad. If you're going to plant yourself, and jump for a clearing header - make sure you CAN REACH THE BALL FIRST, haha.

- Scott

[Stryker]

The defence has looked disorganized and lethargic early in the game. If they keep this up it's gonna be another should have won game.

[Shakes McQueen]

Extra security checks today. They don't want anyone sneaking in booze.

Did they actually tell people to come to the game earlier today because of them, or did they not bother? Because this looks pretty bad on TV.

- Scott

[Shway]

Yeah, it definitely is. You can tell by the detail in the grass, and the sharpness of the player outlines.

- Scott

i guess my HD expectations are just too high lol
i only notice on DVDs
or maybe i need the HD box

[pubboy]

I expect them to fill out a lot in the first 15 minutes, but yeah, this is really odd. What gives?

- Scott

dont think its gonna happen

[Shway]

NANA is a BEAST hes all over Kamara,
winning everything

[pubboy]

i guess my HD expectations are just too high lol
i only notice on DVDs
or maybe i need the HD box

lmao - you serious ?

[Inklink]

Serioux's ball control is worse than a chair's.

[TFC 420]

Did they actually tell people to come to the game earlier today because of them, or did they not bother? Because this looks pretty bad on TV.

- ScottYes they let people know ahead of time. They also opened BMO 90 minutes before game time instead of the usual 1 hour.

[Shakes McQueen]

dont think its gonna happen

Well, it is happening. The east stand looks a bit better already.

LOL at the fans cheering, because they thought Vitti scored.

- Scott

[ForestGlade]

Great passing there, good try by Vitti

[Shakes McQueen]

OHH SO CLOSE>

- Scott

[Stryker]

*off topic

Onsteads no sideburn thing looks ridiculous. You'd think someone would have done him the favor of telling him at some point.

[Shakes McQueen]

And Serioux gets pulled down in the box, with no call. Blow me MLS referees.

- Scott

[Shway]

lmao - you serious ?


lol i forgot to add this face:rolleyes:

[ForestGlade]

Is it too early to start getting pissed at the ref?

[Shway]

And Serioux gets pulled down in the box, with no call. Blow me MLS referees.

- Scott

only TFC would get that call against them

come on you should know this

[Inklink]

*off topic

Onsteads no sideburn thing looks ridiculous. You'd think someone would have done him the favor of telling him.

Yeah. That haircut looks OKAY on a 3-6 year old. :facepalm:

[Inklink]

Come on Pablo!

[ForestGlade]

Best segue ever by Nigel to a diving championships promo

[pubboy]

come on lads - dont let the ref get at you. We can win this

[BayernTFC]

Brennan did a good job mashing that guy's(Waibel) face with the back of his head.

[Shakes McQueen]

Our midfield and forwards have looked pretty good so far today, but man oh man, our back four have looked sketchy at best. Serioux and Garcia in particular, are having horrible games to this point.

- Scott

[Shakes McQueen]

Good try by Barrett. Too bad there wasn't anyone else up there with him.

- Scott

[Shakes McQueen]

Man, Oduro's feet are so tricky, he managed to fool himself! LOL

- Scott

[jloome]

Lord help us, Vitti is a good hole player. Really. Fucking. Good.

Can't finish for shit still.

[BayernTFC]

Serioux and Garcia in particular, are having horrible games to this point.
Serioux doesn't look comfortable at left-back and just got beat badly.

[ForestGlade]

Good handle of the corner

[Antoshka]

wtf'? what was that shot of the security people hassling people?

[Antoshka]

Lol!!!! Sit Down And Shut Up!!!

[BayernTFC]

Serioux with an excellent physical challenge on Oduro.

[Shakes McQueen]

Shit, nice corner Guevara.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

Shit, nice corner Guevara.
Not such a great punch from Onstad.

[Shakes McQueen]

We could be royally fucked if Serioux is out for a while.

- Scott

[Inklink]

Serioux down :O .

He's off. Perhaps Brennan can drop back (saw him run to the touchline to talk to CC) and they put in DD or someone else.

[ilikemusic]

'I told you to shave those sideburns!'

[Shway]

Nana is our best defender

[Antoshka]

woot!!!

[Inklink]

From Houston's perspective, they're lucky Onstad didn't put that corner into his own net!

DERO DERO SCORES!

[Shakes McQueen]

DERO GOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

Derooooooooooo!

[ForestGlade]

Dichio's out. Now it's on

DE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO!

[TFC 420]

Deeeeeeeerrrrroooooooooo

[Shway]

Gooaaallllllllasssssooooo

[dantdot]

DD on for 5 seconds, creates a goal. Legend.

[Shway]

dero's going to take the all-time leading goal scoring from Dichio if he keeps this up

[Shakes McQueen]

Crowd is lively today, I like it.

- Scott

[Shakes McQueen]

Augh SHIT, that was a good pass back to DeRo from Barrett too.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

Oduro's not going to get around Attakora.

[Shakes McQueen]

Wow, thanks for that injury update Mitch. Just to let you guys know, it's the knee that he was clutching that's the injured one, haha.

- Scott

[Stryker]

That was awesome defencive pressure by the forwards coming back there.

[ForestGlade]

oh no

[Antoshka]

Oh No@!

[Shakes McQueen]

Christ Frei, you're not nearly big enough to just hurl yourself into heavy traffic like that.

- Scott

[Inklink]

Spiderman down!

[spezz44]

shit frei down to, cant be good.

[Inklink]

He's okay

[Shakes McQueen]

Eh, just saw the replay of the collision, didn't look so bad. Maybe just got the wind knocked out of him.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

great block by Attakora.

[ForestGlade]

Dude's haircut looks like he got drunk and passed out at a frat party

[BayernTFC]

Eh, just saw the replay of the collision, didn't look so bad. Maybe just got the wind knocked out of him.
Yep. He certainly isn't shying away from more contact.

[Shakes McQueen]

Wow, Kamara is a huge douchebag.

- Scott

[ForestGlade]

Happy to leave with the lead at the half

[Inklink]

Shaky defense to start, but after that, great half.

[Shway]

Robinsonn was like whats wronng with this guyy

[Shakes McQueen]

Please can we get rid of the North American sports convention of interviewing players at the half? They never say anything remotely unpredictable or interesting - it's always just the standard "yeah happy to have the lead, gotta continue to work hard" bullshit.

Also, this Adidas commercial with Lio Messi is awesome, haha.

- Scott

[kitchener-TFC]

Robinsonn was like whats wronng with this guyy
Hahaha, beautiful facial expression on his part.

I think we'll score one more (Vitti 50').

[pubboy]

Barrett will score....

[Shway]

IIf anyone was wondering that yellow was for Kei

[Shway]

hey mo what happened to those other signings

[pubboy]

yawn...

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhh. Danny.

[pubboy]

come on Canada - get dumped out of the Gold Cup so we can get JDG !

[Antoshka]

lol i just yelled "fucking barrett!"
uncharacteristic of danny

[pubboy]

lol i just yelled "fucking barrett!"
uncharacteristic of danny

LMAO - so did i !!!! :D

[manic.street.preacher]

yay! i'm here!

[TFC USA]

Did they dump the Footie Fan Poll?

[TFC USA]

Booking for Amado for time wasting.

[BayernTFC]

Did they dump the Footie Fan Poll?
Yes.

[pubboy]

serioux's injury is still his knee. Phew - thank god for the update !

[TFC USA]

Sucks we lost Serioux. You knew it would happen eventually because he's been nicked up several times.

[ForestGlade]

Great effort by Wynne

[pubboy]

phew..

[TFC USA]

Did Wynne fuck that one up?

[manic.street.preacher]

Did they dump the Footie Fan Poll?
^ thank fuckin god

hey, what was the card for during that scuffle with robbo?

[Inklink]

Yes.

Thank god!

[pubboy]

half hour left. COME ON YOU REDS !!

[ForestGlade]

Oh man Barrett had that

[Inklink]

Noo Barrett! Great D.

[Dirk Diggler]

I know that they dumped Footie Fan Poll but what about Gina Bucci? Is she still gonna be part of the broadcast? Please say yes :D

[pubboy]

SHIT - that was close. Barrett to score....

[Shway]

barrets is learning his one on ones

unluckkyy

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhhh! That would have been a goal for Barrett. He did a good job there. Boswell with a good clearance.

[Inklink]

Oooh Dero almost.

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhh. Dero with another nice chance.

[Inklink]

I know that they dumped Footie Fan Poll but what about Gina Bucci? Is she still gonna be part of the broadcast? Please say yes :D

Seriously? I had to mute my TV when she spoke.

[TFC USA]

Old Barrett is back. Good to have him.

[Inklink]

LOL! Careful Vitti.

[Shakes McQueen]

Old Barrett is back. Good to have him.

Barrett did really well on that close-up 1v1 with Onstad - managed to chip it past him, but the defender cleared it out at the last second. No shame there at all.

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Vitti drop the shit.

[TFC USA]

To be fair to Barrett he's not fast enough to latch onto it so he can chip it over.

20 minutes and I'm scared. :D

[TFC USA]

Nice dig at the Shite Bulls, Nigel.

[pubboy]

what the fuck is that beckham piece about ???????????????????

[BayernTFC]

Waibel out for Akinbiyi.

[Shakes McQueen]

It just hit me - man are Houston's uniforms ugly as fuck. What is with the sky blue sleeve? Who decided that coordinated well with orange and white?

- Scott

[manic.street.preacher]

what the fuck is that beckham piece about ???????????????????
^ ratings?

[TFC USA]

Drop Jason DeVos. Please. He's worse than Forrest with that "I played against him" crap.

CBC should snap up Dick Howard.

[Shakes McQueen]

Man, I can stand this Kamara guy. Wynne gave him a little shove, and he acted like he stepped on a land mine.

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Dammit Frei. You knew that would happen.

[BayernTFC]

Oh nooooooo! Boswell scores. Great first stop by Frei.

[Inklink]

Damn great save on the first one but Houston scores.

[ForestGlade]

That's what you get for standing around like buffoons

[manic.street.preacher]

^ or can't rather

[Shakes McQueen]

Man, what a bullshit goal to give up. Boswell gets a second chance after the initial save, as about seven TFC players stand around asking for the offside call, instead of playing to the whistle.

- Scott

[TFC USA]

What?!

BRENNAN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING FUCKING STANDING?!!!! YOU LET BOSWELL GO RIGHT FUCKING PAST YOU BITCHING ABOUT OFFSIDE!!!!!!!!!


Wynne has played well. But I have no more patience for Brennan at this point.

[manic.street.preacher]

fuck ... that was all kinds of sloppy

[Shakes McQueen]

I hope those missed chances by Dichio, and Barret, and Dero earlier don't come back to haunt us here.

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Crap Dichio tough angle to shoot.

[BayernTFC]

Nice pass into the box from Robbo. Dichio has to do better with that.

[Inklink]

This broadcast is rated PG or something right? lol

[manic.street.preacher]

rofl nice job censors

[TFC USA]

We will get the winner.

And as long as we don't lose I'm somewhat okay with a draw.

Nice moves by Barrett.

[Shakes McQueen]

Brennan inexplicably hoofs the ball from the LWB position, all the way to the right wing, and shockingly we lose possession.

- Scott

[Dub Narcotic]

Does the atmosphere totally suck today or is it just the CBC mikes?

[TFC USA]

Good job by Frei to punch that out.

[BayernTFC]

Good punch from Frei.

[BayernTFC]

Barrett out for Ibrahim

[Inklink]

Ibbe on.

[manic.street.preacher]

Ibby !!!

[TFC USA]

Does the atmosphere totally suck today or is it just the CBC mikes?

CBC mikes. ESPN has mic'd up the RPB and U-Sector quite well.

However the attendance I'll write about later.

[ForestGlade]

Ye gods that was almost in

[TFC USA]

We've been dominated since Barrett's missed 1 on 1.

Fuck you Wynne and your shit marking on Boswell.

[Dub Narcotic]

OK, set piece defense......

[TFC USA]

Vitti is down and penalties are impossible for TFC to get.

[Dub Narcotic]

No way Houston deserves three points. How many times is Wynne going to get tackled until the yellows come out?

[Inklink]

I think DeRo was hauled down in the box again.

[ForestGlade]

Vitti certainly hasn't won himself any favours from the ref

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhh! Attakora.

[TFC USA]

Brennan's crosses = Shit

HOW THE FUCK DID ATTAKORA MISS?!

[Inklink]

Nana is EVERYWHERE.

[ForestGlade]

That was the chance right there

[Shakes McQueen]

It will be such a shame if we only get one point from this game. We have brutally outplayed Houston for about 90% of the game.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

That was a wonderful free kick by Guevara.

[Shakes McQueen]

Fucking Garcia, what the hell was that?

- Scott

[TFC USA]

This entire team goes to pieces after conceding. What was Garcia thinking?

[Inklink]

Garcia = WTF

[manic.street.preacher]

garcia has had some serious brain farts

[BayernTFC]

Nana is EVERYWHERE.
Yes he has been. He has had another great game.

[Inklink]

We want OBW!

[TFC USA]

Yeah this finishing has me pissed.

I think at times we play better on the road than at home.

[Dub Narcotic]

Garcia should be gone there, second yellow. TFC really anemic here.

[BayernTFC]

Velez on for Vitti.

[manic.street.preacher]

"he rends not to take prisoners, garcia"
^understatement no? fuck

[TFC USA]

Velez?!!!

[Dub Narcotic]

Kei Kamara is a good player. Ibrahim has to be on the chopping block for me. I realize he's young, but he never shows anything.

[ForestGlade]

I know I said I'd be happy with a draw, but this leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth

[BayernTFC]

terrible kick by Onstad.

[TFC USA]

Way to fuck things up James! :D

[Inklink]

LOL Julius.

[TFC 420]

Free kick outside the box!!

[Dub Narcotic]

About time Julius James paid off for TFC.

[ForestGlade]

Come on Guevera

[manic.street.preacher]

stand up houston, ffs

[TFC 420]

Shit!

[Inklink]

Dammit.

[TFC USA]

BMO Field is no longer a fortress.

[Inklink]

Gooo Canada!

[ForestGlade]

/sigh

[kitchener-TFC]

Fuck

[TFC USA]

Someone put up a post-game thread.

I feel angry.

[jloome]

Post game thread started.

[Shakes McQueen]

BMO Field is no longer a fortress.

I'll bet our home record this season is probably pretty comparable to last season.

Tough result, but we completely outplayed them for the majority of this game, so I guess that's a positive.

Oh well - one point, and we temporarily go top of the East again. DC is playing Columbus tonight, so a draw there would be a favourable result for us. Chicago for the moment has two games in hand, and are one point behind us, so it looks like we will be 2nd or 3rd in the East by the end of the weekend.

Not bad. Still in the hunt for the playoffs.

- Scott
