Beer Throwing Incident

[Wagner]

Ok, I'm against tossing anything onto the field.
it's wrong.
we all know it.

But...that toss that hit the goalie square...right on his shiney dome.
Incredible. From about 2/3 of the way up from 114...

With that said...it can never ever be topped....so that should be the end of people tossing things.

Beers for drinking...not for throwing.

[tlear]

That was pretty amazing

[Chevy]

+1. That was something that I frowned upon and enjoyed at the same time.

[Stryker]

I think people who throw beers at opposing players are douchebags.
HOWEVER, the douchbaggery exhibited by that goalie far exceeds that of the beer thrower in this instance.
Good job anonymous alcohol abuser. :p

[this is joga]

IMO this is unacceptable!

.. and having the whole south end (and i'm sure the rest of the stadium) explode when a beer hit the keeper is only gonna encourage (and it did) others to do the same. this IMO is a chicken sh!t move, and anyone that throws anything that isn't a streamer on the pitch - let alone hitting a player - should be banned from BMO for life.. and i hope they are.

hey, i remember my first beer too.. what i don't remember was throwing it at someone.

[ilikemusic]

That keeper deserved alot worse.

The gloves thing is completely unacceptable. He should be suspended for that shit.

[H Bomb]

Agreed... I hate beer throwing...with this exception

[bertal]

the throw was pure win. however, that keeper was baseless

[prizby]

he deserved more than just 1 beer for his poor showing ;)

[Bars92]

i somehow missed this watching on TV, I hope there is a replay. That is a waste though.

Kind of like the fan who ran onto the pitch after the game... Dude got a standing ovation from 127 as he was being escorted away by the cops.

[noochie]

no-class fan hits no-class player... kinda poetic

[Sab0tage]

Kind of like the fan who ran onto the pitch after the game... Dude got a standing ovation from 127 as he was being escorted away by the cops. Seriously, I was wondering why people were applauded the guy for being a total dunce.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Seriously, I was wondering why people were applauded the guy for being a total dunce.
Because it was felt that the ref deserved what nearly came to him. ;) I applauded, I was kind of pissed off at the universe at the time, so yeah. For the record though, I definitely do not approve of attacking officials, or throwing beer.

[v00d00daddy]

I'm sorry but it's plain wrong to condone/applaud/justify this garbage.

Gaudette was a douche but throwing shit at players is a fucking joke.

I was embarrassed to be wearing the same jersey as the people applauding the twits who threw shit.

This thread is a mistake

I agree in principle, but don't tell me you've never been caught up in the heat of the moment. The whole stadium was hissing and booing every time the keeper touched the ball, he was public enemy no. 1 at BMO for those 2 hours. Again, on principle I don't condone it, but I'm a hot-blooded person and I probably also would have applauded at the time had I been in the south end and seen what happened.

[uncle p]

Almost a BIG fight in 111 at the final whistle. Some guy tossed a beer, another guy confronted him and shit hit the fan BIGTIME!! row 14ish i think

Confirmed.

People have taken throwing things WAY overboard. However, in that specific situation (and in the future should a player excessively taunt us in the corner), maybe its not the worst thing in the world.

The other beers that were thrown randomly, because why? A defender cleared the ball? There was throw-in? :noidea:

Bad form.

[prizby]

already a thread ty for the input

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Yeah, the beer-tossing has to end. It's stupid and I can't comprehend why someone would toss a beer on the pitch when they cost more than what I make in an hour...

That being said, though, the reason that particular beer toss was applauded was because the Islanders' goalie was a douchebag. ;)

[v00d00daddy]

Then you're no better than the guy who threw it. Seriously....I get angry at games too but the thing that makes me an adult is the ability to control myself at a fucking soccer game.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

Hey, like I said, I'm against beer-tossing. It's pure idiocy to throw something on the pitch, let alone something that expensive. It's just that the PR goalie was a huge douchebag, and I think the reason the beer toss was applauded was because it was figured he got what was coming to him. I would NEVER throw anything but a streamer on to the pitch and never have. I'm not a moron- but I'm an emotional person and at the time I'd have been happy to see a beer smack the PR goalie in the face. Most people at hockey games wouldn't run on to the ice and start a fight, but they still go nuts when two players go at it. Sort of the same, ish.

[Hustle]

Throwing beer is wrong but the aim was so good, I think God threw that beer.

I'll forgive him.....this time.

[Darlofletch]

Remember the nets that they have up at Montreal behind the goal where their supporters stand?

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see that sort of thing soon at BMO if this sort of thing keeps happening.

[Roogsy]

Nets will happen. We have far too many douchebags in the south stands to be lucky enough for it not to happen. 3 seasons and they still don't get the message. Book it, it's done for sure.

Idiots.

[werewolf]

Remember the nets that they have up at Montreal behind the goal where their supporters stand?

The nets in MTL also have to do with the seats being immediately behind the net...like standing in the first row you can grab the mesh from the goal.

But I would say MLSE would rather put up nets then lose out on all the beer sales.

[Whoop]

[GBV]

what's the 411 on security for these games?
for mls games you can't tie your shoe without getting stink-eye from a yellow jacket in the stands. these games, they're next to nowhere to be found.
(sorry to say, prefer it the latter way.)

[TFCWEST]

Kind of like the fan who ran onto the pitch after the game... Dude got a standing ovation from 127 as he was being escorted away by the cops.
Yeh, i was in 127, that was quite strange. I don't know why they were applauding him.

[Lennon]

God I hope this happens ... not nets though ... steel fences ... then we can climb them ... turn BMO into the most intimidating ground in MLS ...

well said v00d00... i gotta agree here, being a douche bag and throwing beer at a player and applauding it is what separates the adults from the kids in the stands. i have lost my cool many times (many many many times) although losing my shit at a sporting event makes no sense to me... remember, you are not in the game - and you make no difference in the outcome!

i get that the keeper was getting on your nerves - as he was mine.. although no excuses for throwing sh!t at him. the douches that throw beers on the pitch are cowards and probably would sh!t their pants if they were confronted by the keeper off the pitch.

please give me your beer if you feel the urge to chuck it at someone.

[Roogsy]

Yeh, i was in 117, that was quite strange. I don't know why they were applauding him.

I know our guys were more reacting to Jimmy giving him the shirt.

I ran into the guy after the game...he's from out of town (out of country actually) and I guess he figured he had nothing to lose.

When it happened, I told my buddy beside me that I would put money that it wasn't a STH and that more than likely he was from out of town and wouldn't care if he got a ban from BMO Field.

I was right.

(FYI...security took the jersey from him and gave it to someone else....kind of a douchebag thing to do IMHO)

[this is joga]

next time you throw something on the pitch, think what it would be like if the supporters in the south had to view the game through a mesh net - i'm not gonna be happy at all if this happens.. probably move my seats outta the south end.

i have a bad feeling that CONCAF will punish us for this.. i wouldn't be surprised when we get into the next round we have a home game played with NO fans in the stands.

[FluSH]

Kind of like the fan who ran onto the pitch after the game... Dude got a standing ovation from 127 as he was being escorted away by the cops.

I think 127 is always standing HAHAHAHA...

In all fairness you saw this coming a mile away... it was one of those games where something was going to go down... that's how bad it was...

[FluSH]

i have a bad feeling that CONCAF will punish us for this.. i wouldn't be surprised when we get into the next round we have a home game played with NO fans in the stands.

Unfortunately... I think you are right... if this keeps making the news it won't be good at all...

I practically am a kid age-wise, so I suppose I have an excuse. ;) I'm actually the opposite, away from football I never lose my temper, but when I go to the football ground all that goes out the window and I go nuts supporting my team- within reasonable limits, obviously. Singing for 90 minutes = great, throwing beer, fighting, etc. = over the line.

Jimmy gave the beer-thrower the shirt? Thats legendary.

lol, point... what I meant is he was applauded. ;) I honestly thought Cummins and/or some of the players were going to lose it after the final whistle and start a fight, it was inevitable something was gonna go down.

[FluSH]

some of us applauded as well to the fact that Jimmy gave him his shirt... after all this guy will probably be charged and worse of all... banned from BMO 4 life... He paid for it and at least got a Jersey from Jimmy before the security guy gave it to someone else....

[zeelaw]

Just to clarify... Jimmy gave the beer-thrower the shirt?

Joga, unfortunately... we can't control who goes in the supporters area... we have a pretty good grip over 112 and we know who's who and who is not.. when you get past 114 an beyond... that's no man's land there are some RPB's some Usec etc... but the majority... that's a different story...

[Roogsy]

Just to clarify... Jimmy gave the beer-thrower the shirt?


No, the pitch invader. I thought that was who he was referring to.

[FluSH]

Just to clarify... Jimmy gave the beer-thrower the shirt?

No...

[Stryker]

Who fuck is the security guy to take it and give it to someone else.
If Jimmy had actually put it into his hand then that's theft.

[zeelaw]

k thanks

[VPjr]

throwing stuff is pathetic. PERIOD.

The result of this stupidity is gonna suck for those sane folks who would never toss an object that could actually do some damage. Streamers are not a problem. Seat cushions were cool too that one time. tossing a full cup of beer at a player is stupid.

I have no doubt whatsoever that nets/fencing of some sort are coming to the south end, maybe even before the end of the season. The fact that some people are applauding the throwing of the beer at the keeper makes me think that its a good idea.

[Roogsy]

I kinda feel the same way. Security are douchebags for doing it. Jimmy gave him the kit. Kick him out, but you ain't got no right to take it away from him.

I tend to agree...

beer/bottle throwing has to stop before we get punished for it....

[Rockin110]

So the douche bag goalie makes us the douche bag fans nice.

Control the supporters section or expect a net.

[Roogsy]

I tend to agree...

beer/bottle throwing has to stop before we get punished for it....

Supporters groups need to take a stronger stand on this and do something or the team, league and conference will do it for us.

[Daveisonfire]

Supporters groups need to take a stronger stand on this and do something or the team, league and conference will do it for us.

Agreed 100%

[MrHawk]

Well Security did nothing.

The guy just threatend the yellow shirt security saying "I dare you to throw me out" blah blah.

4 beers I saw being thrown on.

2 from 114
1 from 115
1 from 113

ONly a matter of time before BMO either goes dry or does not sell booze in the stands anymore

[VPjr]

Agreed 100%

yup...+1

[Ageroo]

Nets will go up long before the games go dry.....

i dont know, Sapirssa fans claim to be among the craziest fans in Concacaf and in the passed have been known to throw flares, streamers, batteries and garbage bags full of Urine at away supporters and players and got away with minimal punishment. I dont think we are as bad as them, if we get finned or punnished then im sure some Central American clubs fans need to be looked at as well.

Saprissa fans:

[Intru]

Supporters down there hold more power than any supporters groups in USA/Can will ever have. Its not as easy to punish them as it is to punish us. You shouldnt justify soemthing just because other people do it and dont get penalizes for it, how would you like me to go to DeRo's hotel room and hit him with a bat a couple of times, just because I think his a douch? No right. For the record I like DeRo, just making a point.

i was just saying many worse things have happened from fans even in Concacaf then just beer throwing and that if we are punished then so should other fans in the future. Its kinda stupid if you have different rules and punishments for different clubs. If you have rules for fans in the tournament then these rules should be for every club.

[Blazer]

Almost a BIG fight in 111 at the final whistle. Some guy tossed a beer, another guy confronted him and shit hit the fan BIGTIME!! row 14ish i think

Yeah, I felt that beer rain down on the back of my neck. Sorry it missed my mouth to be honest. I refuse to pay those prices for that dishwasher piss beer, but I'll sure open my mouth up if it's being abused like that.

What about the last beer that was magically tossed from afar only to land perfectly straight up with half the beer still inside? I thought that deserved honorable mention too?!

[grizzle]

I think beer throwing is so stupid, but when it hit that douchebag keeper.... all I have to saw is that was EPIC!

we need video.

see the shit that rained down from mexican fans (and others, i'd guess) during the concacaf gold cup?
not sure there were repercussions. this shit happens in concacaf games all the time.
beer is like snowflakes compared to some of the stuff other fans hurl.

[GabrielHurl]

some of us applauded as well to the fact that Jimmy gave him his shirt... after all this guy will probably be charged and worse of all... banned from BMO 4 life... He paid for it and at least got a Jersey from Jimmy before the security guy gave it to someone else....

I know the kid in question - he's over from Ireland for the summer - he asked Jim for the jersey - he got it.

Security took it from him - and the cops gave him got a ticket.

The cops went to security to get it back for him - and were told no way - they'd already given it to someone else :picard:

They should charge the security guy for theft - plain and simple, he had no right to take the guys property, irrespective of whether they threw him out or not. A lot of shit happened last night, but it's only gonna get worse if there is no accountability with the security guys.

[Razor]

I would never throw a beer at an opposing player or even throw one in general HOWEVER kudos to the guy who nailed the keeper with that toss.

CLASSIC!

[Nodoubtguy]

I'm sorry, but this throwing beer thing is beyond fucking pathetic!!!! It needs to stop and if we have entire threads dedicated to "lol, yeah way to hit that douchebag".....its just being encouraged. Yell, Scream, Taunt the idiot of a keeper, but throwing stuff at players?? GET THE FUCK OUT OF BMO ASSHOLE!!!!

The streamers were one thing, but throwing anything beyond that makes you a fucking idiot and I am ashamed to have to share the stands with you!!!!

[SilverSamurai]

I don't agree w/ the beer tossing, but the keeper deserved it. Well placed toss.
He deserved a lot worst, IMO.
And CONCACAF isn't going to do a damn thing. What happens here is nothing compared to what happens elsewhere.
If the nets go up, it'll be cause of stuff that happens during league matches.

And no I don't want to see any nets go up.

"douchebaggery" love that, will have to use it today.
I not really a fan of things being thrown at the players. but that goalie needed to be hit with something.

[SilverSamurai]

are you fucking kidding me??? he deserves to be hit with beer??

:picard:
Don't tell me you didn't want to jump over and kick the guy for time wasting...

[Nodoubtguy]

Don't tell me you didn't want to jump over and kick the guy for time wasting...

Yeah, I did....but then I remembered "wait a minute, I'm an adult, and pretty civilized" so I held back that urge to just hurl my drink at the guy. If you really have that little control over yourself, then you should be staying home.

[English Rachel]

Ok, I'm against tossing anything onto the field.
it's wrong.
we all know it.

But...that toss that hit the goalie square...right on his shiney dome.
Incredible. From about 2/3 of the way up from 114...

With that said...it can never ever be topped....so that should be the end of people tossing things.

Beers for drinking...not for throwing.

Lol, perfectly awful yet beautifully great.

And he really did shine his head, never seen a noggin like it!!!!!

Sorry I didn't say hi, was going to at the end of the game but I was just too miserable :(

[Bloor West FC]

This was the only time I was happy to see a beer flying at a player. He wasted so much time on the pitch and was a big baby. The one and Only time I was happy to see something hit a player. Hey wake up douchebag

[SilverSamurai]

Yeah, I did....but then I remembered "wait a minute, I'm an adult, and pretty civilized" so I held back that urge to just hurl my drink at the guy. If you really have that little control over yourself, then you should be staying home.
Which is why I agree it should be stopped. Can't top it.
Unless someone tosses 1 at Garber but that would be a BAAAD idea...

Although I'm sure some people wouldn't mind having a toss at Benito...

Anyways...

Lol, perfectly awful yet beautifully great.

And he really did shine his head, never seen a noggin like it!!!!!

Sorry I didn't say hi, was going to at the end of the game but I was just too miserable :(
:flare:

[__wowza]

i cant say anything in this thread that anyones not already said. throwing beer is wrong, but my god.. if that man didnt deserve it.

Epic Beercup Win was a little inappropriate......:) Both sides are being debated. So I made the call....:D

[phonzo]

part of me was happy to see that douche hit - keeper was an r-tard but in the end it only encouraged more people to toss beer which honestly is just going to cause trouble...

beer's for drinkin not for throwin enough said

[burlington Red]

IMO this is unacceptable!

.. and having the whole south end (and i'm sure the rest of the stadium) explode when a beer hit the keeper is only gonna encourage (and it did) others to do the same. this IMO is a chicken sh!t move, and anyone that throws anything that isn't a streamer on the pitch - let alone hitting a player - should be banned from BMO for life.. and i hope they are.

hey, i remember my first beer too.. what i don't remember was throwing it at someone.

You were probably playing chess, or counting your stamp collection when you had your first beer

[MFBODD]

The keeper was wasting time in the 1st half! Tossing a beer at him, deserved or not isn't the right thing to do, but that said...nice throw!

[icecoldbeer]

We haven't had many streamers this season, and the one game we did...the beer tossers game back. Any correlation?

(don't get me wrong though, I thought the streamer shower looked awesome)

highlight of the night for sure! Hilarious!

[bingobob]

that keeper was a floppy bitch.
a floppy bitch who made 3 or 4 really good saves.
i hate him.:(

What was so inappropriate about the thread title?

and in the initial post I spent more time saying how wrong it was than praising...i just pointed out that the throw was incredibly accurate...but
terribly wrong.

Maybe the new title should be "Mod Political Correctness Fail". ;)

The original thread title was actually more covert in a way... now an outsider trolling the sight will know exactly what the thread is about....

In case you missed the tongue in cheek humour of it...

[flambe]

To all of you that "would never throw a beer at a player" but are quite happy to commend the guy/girl that did last night.

"you are all a bunch of remedial fuck-wits."

By no means am I saying Guadette isn't a jack-ass, but it's the ref's job to ensure players don't get away with the shit he pulled.

Throwing stuff at players is mindless idiocy, and the people that do it should be banned, plain and simple. They are ruining it for others. I went to a game with my 4yr old boy only to get a beer land inches away from him cause some idiot was pissed with Schelotto.

Fences will be put up soon enough, and BMO field will lose some of it's charm.

Thanks, that's great.

[Parkdale]

What was so inappropriate about the thread title?



it's not an issue of 'appropriate', it's just an issue of organization because there was another 'beer thread' started.

Ageroo was just doing the usual 'post-loss-cleanup'

[English Rachel]

I don't think anyone is commending it. At all.

In fact, almost everyone in this thread is saying it is completely and utterly unacceptable. Just acknowledging that it was a damn good shot.

[Pyeddo]

I don't condone throwing beer, but that toss was fucking mint. Sometimes its good to break the rules, regardless of the cost.

[Wagner]

it's not an issue of 'appropriate', it's just an issue of organization because there was another 'beer thread' started.

i would never throw a beer at a player, but i commend the guy/girl who did last night

[Parkdale]

why didn't he say that?
was there a merge?


I thought there was a merge, but that's just what I heard.

really it's just for organization, and he should have explained that better.

no biggie though.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Yeah it was a great throw but it added almost a minute to that douchebag keepers antics. Taunting on the sideline/corner I won't chirp at but everything else is an excuse for the opposition and the ref to sway on one critical call. Beer throwing is bush league.

[Ageroo]

why didn't he say that?

My apologies...early and no morning coffee as yet. I know you are anti-beer throwing and not trying to say you are that at all. Since there was your topic and another one condeming the toss. I decided to change the title.

5th post for the top was merged into your thread....Should have been clear when I did it last night. :)

[flambe]

I don't think anyone is commending it. At all.

In fact, almost everyone in this thread is saying it is completely and utterly unacceptable. Just acknowledging that it was a damn good shot.


The following are all from page 3 of this thread:


kudos to the guy who nailed the keeper with that toss.


I don't agree w/ the beer tossing, but the keeper deserved it. Well placed toss.


I not really a fan of things being thrown at the players. but that goalie needed to be hit with something.


Lol, perfectly awful yet beautifully great.


This was the only time I was happy to see a beer flying at a player.
He wasted so much time on the pitch and was a big baby.
The one and Only time I was happy to see something hit a player.

IMHO comments like this will only give others the idea that it's ok to do this.

Hey, as long as I hit him, and I'm a fair distance away, it's OK to throw my beer! Yay me!

[Pyeddo]

And flopping around like a fish out of water isn't? Sometimes we're just too nice, too "Canadian" for the way other teams play in our divisions/leagues/matches. Drink beer, don't throw it, but damn what a nice toss last night.

Please. Point is his embarassing display didn't need to be matched by someone dressed like me.

[__wowza]

does anyone here think that maybe the beer toss was part of the reason he got carded? look at it this way.. the ref put up with that shit from him for FAR TOO LONG. theres absolutely no denying that. so it could it have been a possibilty that the ref made the call just then because he felt the audience was going to be getting worse. wasnt it within the same couple of minutes that he got hit with the beer/carded?

[napoli73]

You have seen an increase in yellow shirts and don't be surprised if you see a net....and why?? for a couple of idiots. In the end the entire supporters section will suffer.

I didn't see the beer hit him but when I heard the roar from the crowd I thought it was because he had gotten a card. He had already wasted a lot of time by then, but the ref waited at least another minute before giving him the card. He probably didn't want to penalize a player who was just hit by a beer.

That goalie deserved all the verbal abuse in the world, but beer throwing is wrong. Sorry I missed it...

[olegunnar]

There would be a bit of a silver lining with a net.

The scalpers would drop their seats, and the people sitting there because it's cheap would move.

The "supporters" that are there only to be kewl and get loaded might leave too.

Kind of a blood letting of sorts for the south end.

[Chevy]

They already have a net - they use it for the lacrosse games at both the north and south ends.

You might see it up at the Real Madrid game. There will be a few hundred million dollars worth of players running about.

[prizby]

Kind of like the fan who ran onto the pitch after the game... Dude got a standing ovation from 127 as he was being escorted away by the cops.

WAS this the guy who's cousin died cuz he said something about running out?


Joga, unfortunately... we can't control who goes in the supporters area... we have a pretty good grip over 112 and we know who's who and who is not.. when you get past 114 an beyond... that's no man's land there are some RPB's some Usec etc... but the majority... that's a different story...

This is MLSE's fault. They need to follow Philadelphia's example: Have a supporters section for those who are members of RPB, U Sector, NEE members only. In this case, the section would be well policed, because OUR members respect the rules! It is those wannabee RPB that do stupid stuff like we saw last night

This would be a great chance for RPB executives to get in touch with MLSE and push for a supporters section of just members only so incidents like last night can be avoided!

We could make things a lot easier for MLSE if we had something similar like the Son's of Ben do!

[Pookie]

I hate beer throwing and was very impressed to see it virtually eliminated for much of this season.

At the same time, it did miraculously cure his leg "injury."

I've got to believe that the nets are coming.

You were probably playing chess, or counting your stamp collection when you had your first beer

Guess that proves that beer cures!
(no it doesn't mean it should be tossed anymore)

[v00d00daddy]

Wow. I'm not even angry anymore. I'm shocked.

I can't believe that people are actually complimenting the guy who threw a beer and hit a player on the field. And the praise is coming from Members and non-members alike.

Scary.

When the FO decides to put up a net or a fence I hope they cite the posts in this thread to back up their decision.

I can see it now.

Sometime in near future: Net/Fence goes up.

Sometime shortly after that: 10 threads in two days about how the supporters are being treated like caged animals and that the FO doesn't care about the atmosphere that is brought by the south end. Fuck MLSE/Mo/TFC/Secuirty guards in yellow/Gaudette.

Sometime shortly after that: a thread condemning the idiot that threw the beer and how the supporters shouldn't all be tarred by the same brush

Sometime shortly after that: the FO telling the RPB higher ups that their membership condoned the boneheads actions (citing this thread as proof) which made their decision easier.

In the parlance of immature internet speak (which is so appropriate for this thread):

EPIC FAIL (whatever the hell that means)

[roach105]

Unacceptable behavior last night. This should never be cheered. I was looking at the field is disbelief. When the ref stepped back the worst thoughts game to my mind, I thought for sure they were going to suspend the game.
On a side note someone in lower 112 tossed a golf ball looking object on the field during a corner and nobody said anything from that general area. It seems like we cannot even police ourselves.

[Wagner]

No one is supporting it.
virtually every post speaks out against it, just some including myself, are discussing the accuracy of the toss. It was like a hole in one by someone that broke into a golfcourse and used stolen balls...it was totally wrong to do, in fact illegal...but the odds of it happening are unlikely...and no one will ever out do it or repeat it...so everyone please refrain from attempting.

Parlance of internet speak - yeah, you'd think you'd get away from that....on the INTERNET.

I think you are overblowing this issue a little here. People are not happy that someone threw a beer. People are happy that a cunt got what was coming to him. A lot of footballers deserve he be cracked in the face with how they play, because they cheat, and bring disrepute to game we would kill to play at their level. Last night one of those people were made to feel like a fool, and an asshole. That's as far as it goes. You're welcome to hate it but lets not assume people are cheering for a beer thrower...that was only situational

[Sage]

:facepalm:

FYI... the OSU will be throwing shit at your goalie after what was done to Gaudette... don't complain afterward if they do. I saw some of their expressions last night and they were not to happy about it.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

Yep, its all fun and games until you have to watch the game throw a net.

I've said it before, our support is immature…many here have a lot to learn…last night was frat boy stuff. We are lucky the league is as immature or the Club would be sanctioned for such ridiculous actions by "supporters".

To be honest I'm kind of embarrassed with the fact we have RPB members who think this is funny and part of being a supporter…fuckin' grow up or support a college football team…

A non-supporter? Why is the culprit a non-supporter? You can be an idiot and a supporter.

Effective self policing and not encouraging this kind of behaviour by writing how "great a shot it was" would go a long way in promoting the mature fan base status we seem to be desperatley trying to achieve.

Better yet, let them throw so much stuff that CONCACAF suspends the match - its played in a neutral venue on a later date, and they lose their home field advantage... :)

That would be the biggest EPIC FAIL of threatening then throwing stuff in the history of football... :D

I agree, i just think we are glamourizing this way too much. Douche must be feeling quite proud of the fact he threw it if he's reading this thread.

[v00d00daddy]

I think people who throw beers at opposing players are douchebags.
HOWEVER, the douchbaggery exhibited by that goalie far exceeds that of the beer thrower in this instance.
Good job anonymous alcohol abuser. :p


Agreed... I hate beer throwing...with this exception


he deserved more than just 1 beer for his poor showing ;)


no-class fan hits no-class player... kinda poetic


I agree in principle, but don't tell me you've never been caught up in the heat of the moment. The whole stadium was hissing and booing every time the keeper touched the ball, he was public enemy no. 1 at BMO for those 2 hours. Again, on principle I don't condone it, but I'm a hot-blooded person and I probably also would have applauded at the time had I been in the south end and seen what happened.


Throwing beer is wrong but the aim was so good, I think God threw that beer.

I'll forgive him.....this time.


What about the last beer that was magically tossed from afar only to land perfectly straight up with half the beer still inside? I thought that deserved honorable mention too?!


I think beer throwing is so stupid, but when it hit that douchebag keeper.... all I have to saw is that was EPIC!


Gaudette needed a good beating session

what a douchebag. that was Shitlicker level of douchebaggery


I don't agree w/ the beer tossing, but the keeper deserved it. Well placed toss.
He deserved a lot worst, IMO.
And CONCACAF isn't going to do a damn thing. What happens here is nothing compared to what happens elsewhere.
If the nets go up, it'll be cause of stuff that happens during league matches.

And no I don't want to see any nets go up.


"douchebaggery" love that, will have to use it today.
I not really a fan of things being thrown at the players. but that goalie needed to be hit with something.


Lol, perfectly awful yet beautifully great.

And he really did shine his head, never seen a noggin like it!!!!!

Sorry I didn't say hi, was going to at the end of the game but I was just too miserable :(


part of me was happy to see that douche hit - keeper was an r-tard but in the end it only encouraged more people to toss beer which honestly is just going to cause trouble...

beer's for drinkin not for throwin enough said


i would never throw a beer at a player, but i commend the guy/girl who did last night


There you have it. In black and white. Over 10 people all saying the same thing.

"I don't condone beer tossing but........................................
-deserved it
-it was a nice shot

Excuses. Not one a legit reason.

Doesn't sound like you guys don't condone beer throwing. It sounds like you don't like it most of the time but sometimes its okay.

Hardly a condemnation.

Just a question for you guys. When else is it okay to throw shit on the field at players?

This kinda stuff also speaks to the herd mentality of some supporters. If Jack had been one of the first to post in this thread and said that beer throwing is unacceptable under ANY circumstances, then I would bet that there would be very few, if any, posts like the ones above.

Just remember these posts if/when the net goes up.

For the record...there are also several posters who make no excuses for this behaviour and they are the ones who should be congratulated for their words/actions...not some shitheads (yes there were several, lets remember) that threw beer and other shit last night.

Profile of a TYPICAL Beer Chucker:

1) male (usually)
2) Drunk (more than likely)
3) casual/tourist/scalped ticket user that could care less if he/she ever comes to a TFC game again. As a regularly attending fan/supporter (affiliated or not) doesn't want their seats ripped, or a net going up, and generally respects the game, their "home" Bmo, etc.

i don't think its being over-blown at all.. if people are happy that a 'cunt' got what was coming, than they're also part of the problem - i'm sorry h-bomb, although wasting time and faking an injury does NOT warrant a beer being tossed on you... yell at him, chat against him, do anything but throw shit at him.

i get it! i really do.. the fans were in the heat of the moment.. as was i. although i didn't cheer the beer tosser, actually the opposite happened. i was embarrassed to be cheering for the same club from that moment on. like i said, i get it. although i think its wrong.. only my opinion here - i know you personally, and i know your a grade A supporter, although excusing this cunt for throwing beer at the keeper b/c he deserved it is wrong.

agreed. if frei was acting like a twat, id say it was up to the supporters to do what they will, albiet they would be dealing with the ramafications. now that doesn't excuse the behaviour, but gaudette was a classless footballer and he got treated as such. im standing firm on the belief that should he have played the game, he wouldnt have gotten wet.

i make the crossover to beckham: had he not been a twat, im sure the galaxy supporters wouldnt been treating him as such.

[grizzle]

All the people complaining about people saying it was a nice shot really need to quit your whining. I don't think anyone is condoning the throwing of the beer, but after suffering a tough loss this is one way people are choosing to vent their frustrations. The goalie was acting like an idiot continously trying to delay the game and got called out for it. If he wasn't doing this stuff, the incident would likely have never happened. FTR, I think there should be tough punishment for people that do throw beers or anything at players (lifetime ban from BMO / criminal charges - as it is technically probably some kind of form of assault).

[burlington Red]

throwing stuff is pathetic. PERIOD.

The result of this stupidity is gonna suck for those sane folks who would never toss an object that could actually do some damage. Streamers are not a problem. Seat cushions were cool too that one time. tossing a full cup of beer at a player is stupid.

I have no doubt whatsoever that nets/fencing of some sort are coming to the south end, maybe even before the end of the season. The fact that some people are applauding the throwing of the beer at the keeper makes me think that its a good idea.


Not a chance, fencing in modern stadiums is a thing of the past, won't happen, maybe in Eastern Europe, not a chance it will happen here

i do appreciate a fine aim and irony.

and i still think gaudette needs a good beating for the antics he pulled

try not to take what I say and give it a meaning that I'm not trying to convey.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Damn tij, no reason to bring the club into it. I was suitably outraged and focused it on the thrower. No need to be embarassed. You didn't throw it.

Too bad people on both sides can't have their heads on properly. Some of our guys didn't. Of course now your guys think that it's ok to do.

Regardless of the team you support, it's stupid.

Some TFC fans were (not RPBs mind you).

And if your guys want to be...well I can't stop them.

Beacuse of course that's why this world is in such great shape. Because we all know how to behave like grown ups right?

As Yohan said, stop putting words in my mouth. My feelings on whether this is okay or not are listed in a post above where I say there should be strict punishment for this behaviour. Though it probably won't change anything as punishment isn't really a good deterent for stupid people.

[H Bomb]

^^ At voodoo.....this thread is too quick

And its not the beer element people are happy about....it's the element that relates to Gaudette being humiliated....we would have been happy if say he slipped on his towel....or danny tripped him from behind....the beer is not the element anyone is supporting. it is simply and only that Gaudette was made to look a fool. I get that you refuse to seperate the beer from the act, i've done similar things in the past...but you have to understand our arguement, and that it has nothing to do with beer

[mdc 77]

Not a chance, fencing in modern stadiums is a thing of the past, won't happen, maybe in Eastern Europe, not a chance it will happen here

and most of Central and South America.

This Is Why We Need A MEMBERS ONLY SECTION, So We Don't Have Degenerates Ruining Our Experience

[H Bomb]

why exactly do you think he deserved it?

because i cant abide cheats....Dero had just bumoed into him, and Dero's leg had slid over Gaudettes leg....and gaudette reacted as if he had been hit hard in that same leg....no better than Rivaldo cunting over when that ball hit his knee....and after that, my violent tendencies come out....and while i can control them, I'll always be happy to see ill come of those who caused them

[this is joga]

Damn tij, no reason to bring the club into it. I was suitably outraged and focused it on the thrower. No need to be embarassed. You didn't throw it.

i was embarrassed that my fellow supporters cheered.. if i was near the dickhead that threw it (or anyone else that tossed something on the field), i would personal hand him over to security instead of stand beside him patting the cunt on the back.

[Rudi]

:facepalm:

FYI... the OSU will be throwing shit at your goalie after what was done to Gaudette... don't complain afterward if they do. I saw some of their expressions last night and they were not to happy about it.
Can you at least wait to see if our goalie starts time wasting in the tenth minute of play, rolling around at the slightest contact, and literally standing up after a "collision", only to leap completely untouched seconds later into some sort of somersault on the ground?

If all of that happens, by all means, throw away!

[flambe]

you're reading into it what you want...
a lot of those quotes say things about how wrong it is.

Seriously...that keeper wasn't just playing "smart" football, he was just being a douchebag in general.

And if Frei does none of that and they throw shit at him, then the Puerto Rico fans are just as big douchebags as their keeper.

so, Gaudettes deserved it b/c he was acting and trying to get the ref to card DeRo, something i don't like myself - i just think that matters like this should be left to the players/refs on the field to police.. just like Dichio did when he ran into Gaudettes at the end. btw this is something i did cheer!

i think a lot of people think they need to take matters into their own hands b/c they support the club. this is wrong IMO and we all need to remember we're not playing the game, we are simply spectators - not players!

[Roogsy]

You may have loved it...but it wasn't "rightful" in any way. Rightful means there is legitimate reason for a fan to do it. In no circumstances is that legitimate or acceptable. It may be understandable. But that is more schadenfreude than righteousness. It's enjoying something that is wrong. Period.

[Carts]

The PR keeper should thank the guy who tossed it, he probably drank $2 or $3 of free beer as is poured down his face...

Based on his douchebaggness, he wouldn't be served in BMO, so tell him to thank the guy for giving him a frosty cold one...

Carts... :)

i don't think i'm a better man then you.. or anyone else that cheered. what i do think is, that cheering it on only enables other to do the same - and it did... IMO the keeper got served when Dichio (a player, not a fan) took matters into his own hands.

YES! THANK YOU!

The players and the refs take care of business on the pitch.

We have no business taking anything into our own hands.

[English Rachel]

The following are all from page 3 of this thread:
IMHO comments like this will only give others the idea that it's ok to do this.

Hey, as long as I hit him, and I'm a fair distance away, it's OK to throw my beer! Yay me!

I make that 2 out of 5 posts that could be construed as condoning. I think you need to work on your English comprehension


No one is supporting it.
virtually every post speaks out against it, just some including myself, are discussing the accuracy of the toss. It was like a hole in one by someone that broke into a golfcourse and used stolen balls...it was totally wrong to do, in fact illegal...but the odds of it happening are unlikely...and no one will ever out do it or repeat it...so everyone please refrain from attempting.

Parlance of internet speak - yeah, you'd think you'd get away from that....on the INTERNET.

What he said


There you have it. In black and white. Over 10 people all saying the same thing.

"I don't condone beer tossing but........................................
-deserved it
-it was a nice shot
-God threw it so its okay
-he deserved a beating

Excuses. Not one a legit reason.

Doesn't sound like you guys don't condone beer throwing. It sounds like you don't like it most of the time but sometimes its okay.

Hardly a condemnation.

Just a question for you guys. When else is it okay to throw shit on the field at players?

This kinda stuff also speaks to the herd mentality of some supporters. If Jack had been one of the first to post in this thread and said that beer throwing is unacceptable under ANY circumstances, then I would bet that there would be very few, if any, posts like the ones above.

Just remember these posts if/when the net goes up.

For the record...there are also several posters who make no excuses for this behaviour and they are the ones who should be congratulated for their words/actions...not some shitheads (yes there were several, lets remember) that threw beer and other shit last night.

Pfft. Really? You can't appreciate that magnificent (but awful, perfectly) toss? You also can't read what people are really saying?

Whatever, throwing projectiles is despicable, I think 90% on here agree. Did I cry for him when the beer landed straight on him? Absolutley fucking not.

[Stryker]

Schadenwhatnow? Dammit Roogsy I'm an engineer not a literary expert LOL.
I understand what you're saying, and I hope I'm understood in that I've always held a great distain for people who throw stuff onto the field or at players. This one time though I couldn't help but take huge pleasure in seeing that shmuck get creamed by a frothy beer.

[nobodybeatsthewiz]

I know the kid in question - he's over from Ireland for the summer - he asked Jim for the jersey - he got it.

Security took it from him - and the cops gave him got a ticket.

The cops went to security to get it back for him - and were told no way - they'd already given it to someone else :picard:


unfukking believable, their sense of self-entitlement/importance. i would definitely consider a theft report on those goons. taking a shirt? ffs, where does it stop, taking his shoes, his wallet?!

[werewolf]

That says a lot about the security...I don't have much faith in the Toronto police (I have the utmost respect for Police in general though), yet they are the ones trying to get the shirt back while arresting the guy.

That is pretty pitiful.

[Rudi]

I agree.

It was still funny, though.

[Blizzard]

Unacceptable behavior last night. This should never be cheered. I was looking at the field is disbelief. When the ref stepped back the worst thoughts game to my mind, I thought for sure they were going to suspend the game.
On a side note someone in lower 112 tossed a golf ball looking object on the field during a corner and nobody said anything from that general area. It seems like we cannot even police ourselves.

Saw that. It was just a ball of rolled up streamer paper.

[grizzle]

I just hope all 10 of them don't show up to intimidate our goalie, that would be horrible.

[Blizzard]

Fencing, probably not...

NETTING could happen as Saputo Stadium in Montreal has netting in front of the Impact Supporters section..

Carts...

But keep in mind that their netting was placed their to stop people being nailed by the ball the seats being closer to the field even than at BMO. It's also a very loose weave so some things can go through. It was made to stop the ball.

[Dirk Diggler]

Nets will happen. We have far too many douchebags in the south stands to be lucky enough for it not to happen. 3 seasons and they still don't get the message. Book it, it's done for sure.

Idiots.

Agreed. Nets are gonna go up ... no doubt about it. It'll be interesting to see how the people who cheered the beer thrower will react when that happens.

[SilverSamurai]

The PR keeper should thank the guy who tossed it, he probably drank $2 or $3 of free beer as is poured down his face...

Carts... :)
You also forgot to say that the beer magically cured him and he was ok after that. Look ma beer cures me so i no longer have to roll around!

I'm done with the beer tossing. Then again I don't even buy anything at BMO and I'd never toss anything.
So no it wasn't acceptable and shouldn't have been done. But I had a good laugh at the situation.

[cmonyoureds]

Beer thrower should be banned for life.

IF CONCACAF HAS ANY SENSE THEY WILL TAKE THE SAME ROUTE WITH "MR. I'VE BEEN HEALED, MODERN DAY MIRACLE, AS THE SITUATION IN EUROPE WITH DIDA A FEW YEARS BACK."

[this is joga]

Stryker, you forgot to mention one more thing, that you're a just as much of a douchebag as the beer tosser for making a comment like this.

I think people who throw beers at opposing players are douchebags. HOWEVER, the douchbaggery exhibited by that goalie far exceeds that of the beer thrower in this instance.
Good job anonymous alcohol...

[Stryker]

If you say so chief. You're right about one thing though, I did forget something.
Don't worry I fixed it.

[yellowfellow]

Almost a BIG fight in 111 at the final whistle. Some guy tossed a beer, another guy confronted him and shit hit the fan BIGTIME!! row 14ish i think

My fiancee got a lot of that beer. She was sick already and it didnt help smelling beer all the way home.

[craz11]

boo fucking hoo.

Guy wants to waste a $20 beer and get kicked out of the stadium, be my guest.

They're not going to put nets up in the south end.
They're not going to stop serving beer.
They're not going to put a security guy in every row.

if your worried about getting beer on your fancy dress, you shouldn't be in the stadium in the first place.

I can't believe this is the big story and not the fact that our team can't hit the fucking net to save their lives, nor can they defend a simple house-league long ball play on a free kick from half.

It's not like people are throwing acid. It's BEER. Quit crying over it.

Hey TFC peeps,

I'll post some intro post later - but I think Sage's comment merited some clarification.

IMPORTANT: Sage is a TOOL, no one in the Islanders fan community/boards respects him.

OSU and all other Islanders Barra members will NOT be throwing beer,etc at any players. Streamers after goals, etc -yes. Anything else, no.

We're all looking forward to having you guys travel down here. :D

I appreciate that people found it funny but it's not in my opinion.

A player was hit with a beer. This board used to freak out about beers and other things being thrown on to the field when nobody was hit.

It's now escalated to a player being struck by an object, thrown by a TFC supporter.

What do you think is going to happen next with respect to the reaction from TFC FO?

Will is still be funny when we're watching the game through a net?

How does saying things, like those that have been said in this thread by some people, make the supporters in the south end look?

These are all things that you have to ask yourself and then ask yourself if it's still funny.

And I'm not trying to be a shit. I'm seriously asking these questions.:)

[H Bomb]

well now that the voice of reason has shown up we can just close the thread....unless our fancy dresses get in our way

[H Bomb]

in the end of the day if they put up a net the main problem i will have with it is no balls being shot into the crowd during warmups....my eyes would focus past them making them essentially invisible...and people would probably stop throwing beers....I agree that its unwanted...but i'd gladly trade a net for grass/north end stands/roof right now....Dont think of a net as the end of the end

It is, people who thought it was awesome,etc: classless

You're lucky PR fans won't stoop to those levels because no one likes to see their club's players get sh!t thrown at them.

Regardless, what is the big deal with what Gaudette did? Everyone says he was a douchebag but I haven't read anything here that merits him getting a beer thrown at him.

If he had stolen your first born child or dry-humped your mother/gf/etc then maybe. What did he do that was a big deal and it offended your delicate sensibilities so much?

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

I don't think anyone thinks it was awesome today; in the two seconds after it happened, though, after standing through a number of disgraceful displays of gamesmanship and timewasting by Gaudette, people probably didn't mind it so much. Rationality can sometimes go out the window in the heat of the moment. Upon regaining my senses, I realize the guy who threw the beer was an idiot and the fans shouldn't have applauded.

Borderline tactics I suppose.

What he did do that was really douchey was he screamed at a ball boy behind the north net (first half) because he didn't throw the fresh ball (pre goal kick) directly into his chest. Most of the time the volunteer ball boys will toss the ball in the general direction of the keeper and that's fine but Gaudette insisted it hit him in the chest and when it didn't happen, he ripped the poor kid another one.

That was douchey!

Read Ivan Cordoba's reaction to a fan throwing something. Interesting.

Also...it would be nice to know if the TFC players thought the beer throwing incident was funny and if they were impressed with the tossers aim and precision.

Something tells me that Stefan Frei wasn't impressed.

Yeah but "heat of the moment" doesn't mean it was right. In fact, "heat of the moment" reactions are usually rash and regrettable. Who makes good decisions in the heat of the moment?

[Messi10]

Well to all who've applauded or positively acknowledged the "beer tosser", I hope the next time you're being a douche to a customer or co-worker at your job, that they throw a beer or something harder at your face.... afterall you've just agreed that you probably deserved it at least once!

These guys are paid athletic professionals with the purpose of playing a game they love, to entertain their beloved fans and of course to earn a living. They shouldn't have to play with eyes behind their heads for fear of getting struck by something. And what if it were a harder object that struck Gaudette and not beer? ("Duhhh... we'd cheer louder of course you douchebag!")

Intervene with your voices and support, not by tossing or having any level of acceptance or positive acknowledgement for tossed objects at players (friend or foe)!

BMO might as well been the Colosseum and the beer might as well been a whip. Douche goalie! **WOOPAH** (crowd cheering in animalistic delight)

It was inhumane, disrespectful and embarrassing. Douche or no douce, Gaudette is a professional (insert your USL comments here) and not a puppet for our amusement to physically poke and prod at... leave that job for Danny D!

I'm also certain that a good majority of people would've pulled the same sort of DB tactics Gaudette executed if you were in his shoes (especially reading some of the posts and getting a good feel that the douchebag meter is very high in these parts). That's soccer people and it comes in many, many different forms and it's up to the referees and players to police the game, not the fans. And when the refs arn't doing their job, its up to us to raise our voices higher and beat the drum louder to support the boys and voice our displeasure.

Yes it can be frustrating and yes passion can get the worst of us, but IMO it must be contained at all levels.

I love this team and game just as much as the next fan, but there should be no exceptions to support such an act of cowardness and idiocy... unless you've been assimilated to believe so. (insert your childish remarks about the level of my support and how I should sell my tickets and or don't watch the games at all)

I wonder how many people here will say "Its uncalled for... but it WAS a nice toss with great precision." if one of our Reds' uncharacteristically pulls a few DB moves at an away game and gets nailed with something? ("Duhhh... but that's different!")

Oh wait a second! Forget all I wrote...

I forgot... its soccer we're talking about and this is the internet afterall... real life rules and sensibility don't seem to apply.

So through thick and thin lets drink, fight, cheer, chant and throw our beers! And when people oppose or voice a valid opinion against us, lets all point fingers, call them names and piss on them as one big happy one-brained (sometimes brainless) group.

I await all the one-brained (childish) responses.

Completely agree with Messi10. Bang on.

Messi10 - it's posts like your that prevent me from completely abondoning all hope for this forum. Well done. And I agree with you 100%.

[Kevin]

uhmmm .... "ditto". Great post Messi10

[Pookie]

I'm not going to disagree with your opinion messi.

At the same time, don't blow this out of context.

I think those of us that go to all the matches have noticed a considerable decline in the throwing of beers. Through last year and early into this season, it wasn't uncommon to see quite a few tossed during the game.

Through efforts of security and fans in the seats, this behaviour had been virtually stamped out.

The majority of fans and supporters have made it known that the throwing of objects is not something they condone.

Don't forget that the idiots that threw the flares earlier this year were essentially handed over to security by fans in 110 and 111 who assisted in their identification.

Borderline tactics I suppose.

What he did do that was really douchey was he screamed at a ball boy behind the north net (first half) because he didn't throw the fresh ball (pre goal kick) directly into his chest. Most of the time the volunteer ball boys will toss the ball in the general direction of the keeper and that's fine but Gaudette insisted it hit him in the chest and when it didn't happen, he ripped the poor kid another one.

That was douchey!

So he screamed at a kid ... that was it?

I don't want to sound like I'm trolling but it just seems to me like people hate him because he's an amazing GK and he kept TFC off the board.

I was at a game in Portland where he grabbed his balls to taunt the Timbers Army - yeah not terribly nice, but it shows passion. TA people got pissed but I don't think it had to go beyond that.

He has a temper but still haven't heard why he was such a "douchebag".

Out of curiosity, what would a player have to do in your books to be classified as such?

Yelling at a ball kid, grabbing your nuts towards opposition supporters, wasting time 15 mins into a 0-0 game, play-acting like you are hurt, etc. apparently don't qualify...:noidea:

Suggesting he isn't like because he shut us down...that is poor, he made one nice save. We have had far better GKs shut us down at home, but they weren't nearly as hated, they respected the game and didn't put on a pathetic display. Brad Guzan comes to mind.

Yelling at a kid = bad

Wasting time = obviously not 15 min, well he got carded and EVERYONE wastes time to protect a score (particularly away) - see 90th minute substitutions my friend. It just rings to me a bit hypocritical, just 'cause he was on other time OMFG HE's SOO horrible.

One nice save? Again, take a look at replays. TFC didn't have just one shot on goal.

[ochos]

As much as I enjoyed seeing that dishonorable keeper get nailed with a beer, it makes us look like a complete joke.

It was pathetic, and if you're reading this, and you threw a beer, then ya I'm talking to you. You're PATHETIC. Absolutely no class. I'm calling you out right here and now, and yes I would like to meet face to face about it.

I'm betting a lot of the people who threw the beer were drunken fratboy fairweather fans, but I bet a lot of them were also regulars who know what our stance is on throwing beer on the pitch. If that's you, then you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I don't think you understood. I am not saying he wasted 15 mins (though adding it up, may be close), he started wasting time within the first 15 mins of the game, and should have been carded in the first half. If you treat the game with a lack of respect, thats how people watching the game are going to treat you. Rightly or wrongly.

He made 1 nice save, but again, that is irrelevant, see previous post.

[barca99]

People have to understand that this is simply a part of game ANYWHERE in the world, INCLUDING Europe! Yelling at a kid because he didn't throw the ball directly to him just wasted 15 seconds. Playing with his gloves just wasted 3 minutes. Re-adjusting the ball on every goal kick added up to a few minutes. It's a game. If you don't want someone to time-waste, don't put them into a position to do it so much (ie: score first). Every soccer fan in the world knows that if a team is leading 1-0 and they get a throw-in it will take at least 45 seconds to get the ball back in play. No matter how much people don't like it, IT'S A PART OF THE GAME! And if gets under your skin then it's even more effective.

He did that in Portland? That is very classless!

Hey, I'm not defending the beer thrower but I was annoyed by him as anybody else and it nothing to do with him playing well (as he did).

Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive. In other words, cheating! Everytime somebody breathed on him, down! First half, he catches a ball in the box, a TFC player brushes against him, down again.

He played very well. He's certainly a decent goalkeeper but I think it's safe to say that we have never played against a keeper that has faked it as often as Gaudette. Never!

BTW, screaming at the ball kids is extreme douchebaggery .... and no other keeper has ever done this at BMO.

He's a fine keeper and well spoken (as he showed in the post-match presser) but he's an ass!

BTW, if you see him, pass on this message! TFC said "C U Next Tuesday!" :)

[s2cazz]

It would have been poetic if the Douchebag who threw the beer had thrown a douchebag at the douchebag keeper...

even then it would be wrong...but poetic lol

Damas y caballeros. Por favor, un poco mas bajo con su conversacion. Aun me duele la cabeza!

It's giving me a headache, too.... who knew the same thing could be said a billion times? It's like the DeGuzman thread all over again.

Carlos, will you teach me Spanish again? I know the foundations, I just need to practise... I think I am going to enrol in a night course, too.

Ya, I think its done.

Its not right to throw ANYTHING on the pitch at ANY time.
