Baptism by fire. We're going to see what the young guys can do.

[BayernTFC]

Nice cross from Cronin to Brennan.

[Dunkers]

Whoa! No gerba? injured?

[RealG-TFC]

OBW starting?

[Musse]

is it rather LOUD at the stadium today? or is it just the spanish station? and their non stop commentary

[Dunkers]

OBW starting?

yes he is

[BayernTFC]

Is this the same old turf?

[silverjelly]

Gah!!! So close.....

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhh! Block on OBW's chance.

[Dunkers]

OBW!!!!!!! man, that was a great chance

[Antoshka]

wow, this guy is suppose to be a great finisher? he had all the time in the world!

[BayernTFC]

Nice clearing from Attakora and Brennan.

[dantdot]

^ I blame the turf.

[Dunkers]

wow, this guy is suppose to be a great finisher? he had all the time in the world!

That was his first MLS chance...he is still a rookie, give hime a break, im sure his eyes were as big as the soccer ball with that chance, he will settle down with a bit of time

[BayernTFC]

Nice block by Attakora and great job saving the corner.

[RealG-TFC]

omg brenan (facepalm)

[silverjelly]

Argh, post!

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhhhhh! Brennan off the post.

[Gixmo]

Brennan... Guilty of celebrating before in the net!!!

Good start, need to finish...

[Dunkers]

fudge! that was a strange header from brennan

[BayernTFC]

Nice ball into the box from Dero.

[Antoshka]

when will brennan's cast come off? it seems like it was there since first season

[Dunkers]

foul yes card no!

[silverjelly]

OBW needs a bit of polishing.

[Dunkers]

when will brennan's cast come off? it seems like it was there since first season

i swear its for show! i shook his hand after the vancity tfc game, and he extended the cast and before i knew it i was squeezing his cast, and he didnt seem to care

[BayernTFC]

Good body positioning from Gomez. Way to get the ball out of touch.

[BayernTFC]

Some swearing being picked up on the Sportsnet telecast.

[silverjelly]

Thank god for Attakora.

[BayernTFC]

Look at that work from Attakora!

[Dunkers]

WOW attakora shows no fear!

[Antoshka]

god bless nana, a TRUE defender at last!

[Inklink]

Attakyora. What a BEAST.

[Inklink]

LOL Brennan. Did that stay in?

Card happy ref.

[BayernTFC]

Robbo with the yellow for the collision with Quaranta.

[silverjelly]

Oh wow, DeRosario. Bad miss.

[Inklink]

LOL DeRo WTF.

[BayernTFC]

Not a great free kick from DeRo.

[mmmikey]

Looking much more organized so far today..

[Stryker]

Robinson has ethier turned the ball over directly or made poor pass decissions to teamates who were heavily covered and turned the ball over 5 times in the first 20 minsites.
I'm so sick of Robinson this year.

[silverjelly]

The passing's a bit off today.

[Dunkers]

Dero seems to be slipping on the turf alot!

[BayernTFC]

Looking much more organized so far today..
Agreed, and the passing has been decent too.

[silverjelly]

Goooooooooooooooooooal!!!

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhhhhh! DeRooooooooooo! What a PASS from Cronin!

[Nuvinho]

gol gol gol

[Dunkers]

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!

[Inklink]

DERO!!!!

Great cross Cronin!

[Nuvinho]

why is robbo picking up every DC player that falls??

[mmmikey]

Dero not on the wing is a beautiful thing.

[BayernTFC]

The wall does its job.

[BayernTFC]

Dero not on the wing is a beautiful thing.
I don't like him on the wing either.

[BayernTFC]

Nice sliding tackle from Robbo in the box.

[Stryker]

Attakora and Gomez are the long term future of this club defensively.
No question.

[BayernTFC]

Sanyang isn't going to get that call.

[Inklink]

FREI!

[silverjelly]

Phew, good play by Frei.

[Shakes McQueen]

Attakora and Gomez are the long term future of this club defensively.
No question.

We hope. The one thing that really sucks about being a fan in a "feeder league", is that your young kids playing really well is essentially a double edged sword, since they are more likely to be sold to Europe.

Also, that DeRo free kick was fucking hilarious.

Decent game so far. Our defense has been less heart-attack inducing than in recent weeks. Gomez and Sanyang are fun to watch.

- Scott

[dantdot]

Frei shouldn't have to do that but...SUPER FREI!

[Shakes McQueen]

Frei shouldn't have to do that but...SUPER FREI!

One thing we, and other MLS teams, need to stop doing - is just standing around with your arm in the air when you think a guy is offside. Play to the fucking whistle.

It looked like the DC player might have been offside there, but if the ref doesn't call it, it shouldn't fucking matter. Run his ass down.

- Scott

[Stryker]

Sanyang isn't going to get that call.

Nope. haven't seen anything yet from him thats impressed.

[Kevin]

how much time is left in the half?

[Inklink]

5 mins left.

Nice tussle Jakovic vs Dero

[mmmikey]

Nope. haven't seen anything yet from him thats impressed.

He hasn't been bad.. Been active pressing the ball and stayed in good position off of it.

[silverjelly]

I completely agree with Craig. The passing is too predictable.

[silverjelly]

WTF.....that's two passes by Robinson to DC in the last the few minutes.

[Inklink]

Nana Awesomekyora.

[BayernTFC]

Nobody gets behind Attakora.

[Stryker]

Yet another completely unnessacary turn over by Robinson.
I thought the teams fancy game stat tracking program kept track of that shit.
If it does it makes you wonder how he's still playing here.

[Shakes McQueen]

Dumb decision there by Sanyang.

- Scott

[silverjelly]

I expect Sanyang to be replaced soon.

[BayernTFC]

Yellow to Sanyang.

[BayernTFC]

The wall does its job again.

[Stryker]

Take Sanyang off. Guevara in.

[jloome]

Sanyang looks overawed. He's had a couple of brilliant breakups and passes and a lot of really dumb movement and ball watching.

Better overall cohesiveness though than we've seen in awhile. Gomez has had a couple of slipups, too, but Attakora looks like the new leader in the "who goes to Europe next" tour.

White's movement is pretty impressive, and Cronin's through balls have looked dangerous. Dero';s all over the place. Jimmy's delivering solid long balls.

Good game so far.

[Gixmo]

Someone stop the boot for loot dude form doing lunges....

[Antoshka]

if he scores, he should invest the money in grass for BMO! be a fan tony lol

[Gixmo]

lol

This guy is shit... Someone snipe the field guy, seriously.. Fawkin idiot

lol.. A little bit left? Serious.. what a fucking goof!

[Antoshka]

i bet the ball stops before it even reaches the 10 yard box

[Banjax]

If i was him i would blame the turf. :D

[jloome]

Merciless bastards boo'd him.

[ilikemusic]

That was rough. :facepalm:

[Stryker]

Wow that guys was horrible.
He looked like he didn't care much though so I'm guessing he's already got some bucks.

[BayernTFC]

Guevara in for Robbo

[ilikemusic]

:hump:

I hope we get two goals and Robbo loses his default starting spot.

Of course, I hope we get two goals anyway. Or three, or four.

[Stryker]

Robinson off, thank God.

[silverjelly]

It's nice to see Guevara.

[Inklink]

Oh man, that dude at half time was terrible.

[BayernTFC]

What a save by Frei.

[silverjelly]

Oh man, that dude at half time was terrible.

I'm pretty sure I could have gotten a better shot off, and I'm a 135 pound female.

[Inklink]

Viiti is thoroughly disappointing.

[Inklink]

I'm pretty sure I could have gotten a better shot off, and I'm a 135 pound female.

LOL! You could've done it blindfolded.

[BayernTFC]

Great work from Guevara. Way to stay on the ball.

[silverjelly]

Vitti, you idiot.

[BayernTFC]

Good heading clearance from Cronin.

[Shakes McQueen]

Great work from Guevara. Way to stay on the ball.

Absolutely no one giving him any help though - just standing around and watching him fight for it, so he never had a chance at an outlet pass, or anything.

- Scott

[Shakes McQueen]

OH MY FUCK DERO. HOLY FUCKING CHRIST.

- Scott

[silverjelly]

Wow, DeRo. Wow.


Doesn't miss like that too often. For shame.

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhhhhh! Dero. Misses the net to the left.

[Gixmo]

Oh my goodness... Wow

[mmmikey]

WTF is barret contagious or something

[Krasno.pL.]

Wow Fuckin Dero

[Inklink]

LOL! It'll haunt DCU I think.

Mr. Card happy books Brennan. Suspended next game.

[BayernTFC]

Yellow to Brennan.

[Nuvinho]

Yellow to Jimmy B (will miss the next game)

[Gixmo]

So that'll be a Brennan suspension!

[mmmikey]

Stupid foul

[Shakes McQueen]

I'm fucking speechless. That was absolutely diabolical shooting from DeRo. He had the time and space to do absolutely anything he wanted.

- Scott

[silverjelly]

These DCU guys are such pussies.

Get the eff up...

[Shakes McQueen]

Sanyang needs to come off. Maybe OBW too. Get Dichio some time.

- Scott

[Inklink]

Yeah, act like you'll never walk again then come back on in 13 seconds.

[Shakes McQueen]

Hahaha, sweet diving header to Frei from Cronin. That's what we call defending WITH FLAIR!

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Who scored for TFC?

[silverjelly]

Vitti needs to wake the hell up.

[Shakes McQueen]

Who scored for TFC?

DeRo did.

- Scott

[mmmikey]

Omg enough with this stupid guy

[BayernTFC]

Sanyang needs to come off. Maybe OBW too. Get Dichio some time.

- Scott
Hasn't Sanyang moved into the defensive midfielder position now that Robbo has been subbed off? I haven't seen any defensive breakdowns from him that would warrant a yanking yet. OBW has disappeared from the game though.

[Inklink]

wow that big cheque probably took half of what they gave to the guy LOL.

[Shakes McQueen]

Hasn't Sanyang moved into the defensive midfielder position now that Robbo has been subbed off? I haven't seen any defensive breakdowns from him that would warrant a yanking yet. OBW has disappeared from the game though.

His play has been decent, but he's on a yellow already, and is making some questionable challenges. I'm not suggesting he be subbed because he's ineffective - I'm just concerned about us going down a man.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

His play has been decent, but he's on a yellow already, and is making some questionable challenges. I'm not suggesting he be subbed because he's ineffective - I'm just concerned about us going down a man.

- Scott
Understood.

[Shakes McQueen]

Moreno about to come on.

- Scott

[Inklink]

Moreno on, Fred off.

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhhh! Vitti with the shot over the net.

[Shakes McQueen]

On a side note, God I'm tired of having to watch TFC games from my office. I'd love to be down there.

- Scott

[silverjelly]

Yes!!!!! Great goal!!!

[Gixmo]

Fuck Ya OBW You Fucking Pimp!

[Inklink]

Gooooooallll! Obww!

[Nuvinho]

OBW!!

[BayernTFC]

Goaaaaaaaalllllllllll! OBW. Assist to Attakora.

[mmmikey]

Obbbbbbbb

[Shakes McQueen]

WHITE'S FIRST MLS GOAL! YEAH!

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Beat that!! 2-0!!

[Dunkers]

OBW from Nana!!!!! Cummins is looking like a genious today!

[Gixmo]

On a side note, God I'm tired of having to watch TFC games from my office. I'd love to be down there.

- Scott

So quit posting on the board all day long & get there... HWY400, Make a right... :)

[zeelaw]

O'Brian White BITCHES!

[mmmikey]

On a side note, God I'm tired of having to watch TFC games from my office. I'd love to be down there.

- Scott


I'm hoping a new stand will get me off the waiting list

[Shakes McQueen]

Jesus, DeRo was about to take another shitpile of a shot there, before it got blocked by the defender.

- Scott

[Gixmo]

Fortunate for Dero, that was another bullshit shot!!!

[TFC USA]

Welcome to the MLS, O'Brien White.

[silverjelly]

Gomez and Attakora FTW from the back end.

[Shakes McQueen]

So quit posting on the board all day long & get there... HWY400, Make a right... :)

I don't mean the office at my place - I mean I'm actually at work right now, watching the TV in my office, haha.

- Scott

[Inklink]

Sanyang has bee MUCH better 2nd half.

[Musse]

oh OBW should have volley'd that would have been 2 goals in 1 min!!!!!

PILE IT ON BOYS....WE GOT MOMENTUM!!!!

[Shakes McQueen]

Fortunate for Dero, that was another bullshit shot!!!

You saw that too, eh? haha. It looked exactly like the breakaway chance he blew.

I love DeRo, but man, his shot is off today.

- Scott

[Gixmo]

I don't mean the office at my place - I mean I'm actually at work right now, watching the TV in my office, haha.

- Scott

There's a door in your office though right?

Use it.. Get in the car, Get on it.. :)

I go 650 round trip on a partial pack, it can be done.. and Barrie's such a nice drive, at least cottage traffic is already up there

(I'm just razzing ya...)

[sidvan]

time?

[Shakes McQueen]

I've got this really bad feeling we are about to go down to 10 men. Don't know why, but I hope I'm wrong.

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Gerba coming in.

[silverjelly]

Sanyang taking a bit of a beating....get him out of there.

[Nuvinho]

that's what Sanyang does, gets under the skin of the opposing players, makes them take stupid fouls.

[BayernTFC]

Gerba in for OBW

[Inklink]

OBW off, Gerba on.

[BayernTFC]

time?
73:30

[jloome]

Sanyang's been really good in the second half. He's wasting time like a madman and clogging the shit out of the middle.

White looks the shit. Gerba's gonna be fighting for time, perhaps.

[Shakes McQueen]

Fucking Christ people, stop throwing beers at the god damned players.

- Scott

[TFC USA]

Close call. Could've easily been 2-1.

[mmmikey]

Seriously. Obw did so much more to contribute all over the field. He deserves to keep his spot.

[BayernTFC]

Julius James in for Namoff

[Inklink]

Julius!

[TFC USA]

Hi Julius James. Now go cost your team a goal.

[Shakes McQueen]

LOL, DC defender just tried to knock Gerba off the ball, and basically bounced off of him.

- Scott

[Gixmo]

We really only gotta start worrying around the 78th onwards...

[Inklink]

Someone's been sniping Sanyang?

[mmmikey]

Hope this just cramping...

[TFC USA]

Take Sanyang off now.

[BayernTFC]

Sanyang coming off on a stretcher.

[Shakes McQueen]

Looks like Gala is coming in!

- Scott

[Inklink]

Sanyang off, GALA on :D .

[Cashcleaner]

Gala is coming in for Sanyang.

[Cashcleaner]

Maybe not.

[Inklink]

Awww, they're going to wait.

LMAO! Sanyang coming back on.

LOL

[mmmikey]

He is doin a pri

[Shakes McQueen]

So, either Sanyang is doing some incredibly dramatic time-wasting, or Cummins is trying to destroy him, haha.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

Pretty good time wasting from Frei. Perhaps he learned something from Bill Gaudette?

[Inklink]

Is it just me or has Frei taken a TON of long kicks tonight? More than usual?

[mmmikey]

The defense is letting alot more run through to him too..

[Inklink]

Possibly Vitti's best sequence in a while LOL

Maybe you're right Mikey

[BayernTFC]

Quaranta with a shot just over the bar. Had some pace on it too.

[mmmikey]

Like they are playin on a trampoline

[BayernTFC]

Impressive coverage from Cronin.

[Shakes McQueen]

The goal aside, this has been a pretty poor game for DeRo. His touch has been failing him big time.

- Scott

[silverjelly]

Sanyang still on...he's been pretty good lately.

[BayernTFC]

Gala in for Brennan. Good game from Jimmy.

[Inklink]

Good work Cronin!

Brennan off, Dero Captain, Gala on.

[Shakes McQueen]

Nice applause for Brennan.

- Scott

[silverjelly]

The goal aside, this has been a pretty poor game for DeRo. His touch has been failing him big time.

- Scott

Yeah, for sure. Just made a bad pass too.

[Cashcleaner]

Hmmmm. I wasn't aware that Crotia was playing at BMO Field today. :noidea:

[Inklink]

Gomez down. Man is this some Gambian trick?

5 mins stoppage.

[mmmikey]

Now gomez down... Hmm

[Shakes McQueen]

It's a little known fact that in Gambia, people are born with legs made out of wafers, not bones. :)

- Scott

[Inklink]

BMO looks empty.

[mmmikey]

5 mins.. So much for time wasting

[Inklink]

Bless You Guevara!

[BayernTFC]

Cleared off the line by Guevara! Using his head.

[silverjelly]

Did Guevara really clear that? Wow!!!

[Cashcleaner]

Oh man, good eye by Guevara.

[Shakes McQueen]

Haha, Guevara with the cheeky smile after dodging that bullet.

- Scott

[Shakes McQueen]

Whoa, there's the shot you could have used earlier DeRo, haha.

- Scott

[BayernTFC]

Ohhhhhhhh! DeRo with a shot just over the bar.

[silverjelly]

Great win! Very happy with the effort today.

[BayernTFC]

Good defensive display for TFC. Most importantly we didn't concede after taking the lead. The young guys held their own. Good work boys.

[The Pope]

three big points earned

[Inklink]

WIN! Very happy for OBW. You can tell it means a lot to him to come back from that injury and score in his first start. Way to go!

Who's MOTM? NANA!

Young guys did a marvellous job.

[jloome]

The kids get it done!

Good stuff all the way around.

[Musse]

WOW im very impressed by the performance today...only criticism i have is this should have been 4-0....we gotta convert on open chances we get (ex: DeRo)..with the east standings as tight as they are, we gotta get our goals diff higher

[Gixmo]

WOW im very impressed by the performance today...only criticism i have is this should have been 4-0....we gotta convert on open chances we get (ex: DeRo)..with the east standings as tight as they are, we gotta get our goals diff higher

Agreed.. Squeaky bum time indeed!

[boban]

Hmmmm. I wasn't aware that Crotia was playing at BMO Field today. :noidea:
I don't get it. :confused:
Care to explain?
