Official TFC @ San Jose Game Thread

[TFC USA]

Last time we saw TFC play San Jose, Amado Guevara blew his penalty and that could very well be the difference between a playoff team and playing for pride.


Jason and Brenda were on CBC in Toronto this morning covering the Futsal World Cup final in Brazil, so Nigel and Jason will call all of our road games from a monitor....lame.



I hope Carver lets TFC play as freely as possible, ditto with Yallop, should be a good game. I'm feeling a 1-1 draw with plenty of chances on both sides.


O'Brien in the 33rd for San Jose, but Ricketts cleans up a missed shot by Guevara to tie it in the 57th.


ENJOY!

[Roogsy]

Come on you Reds!

[TFC USA]

And on an unrelated note, I'm jumping on the Hull bandwagon......unless they're facing United.


C'MON YOU DEVILS!!!

[Oblio2]

TFC to go F'ing crazy....
5-1
Ricketts
Guevera
Rooney/Barrett X2
And a send off goal for Dichio

[RedsYNWA]

What channel?

[[NBF]]

CBC Bold will carry the game.

[RedsYNWA]

^^ Cheers

[TFC USA]

And after the Canucks give up 7 more goals tonight against the Oilers you'll see the game at 10:30 on the main network.


Damn, Eskimos are taking an ass whipping....

We need to finish strong to feel better during the off-season. I hope they understand how important a win would be to morale.

Please post a link for a free stream if you have one. CBC sports streams don't work for me. The ad intro plays and then it just goes blank, tried firefox and explorer, same shit.

[Boschmeister]

Its working now!! changed my proxy settings. Yes!

[[NBF]]

Starting lineup: 4-4-2

----------------Sutton----------
Freeman---Harmse---Marshall---Brennan
Ricketts---Robinson---Guevara---Johan Smith
-----------Barrett---Dichio------------------

[tfc_4_ever]

so why is sutton wearing the away kit?

[Roogsy]

Because he usually wears black and he can't because San Jose is wearing black. Kinda obvious...

[Batman]

Hey boys. here's to a win to wrap this season up.

[[NBF]]

Darren Huckerby 13 appearances and 6 goals, if he'd played the whole season he'd have 12 goals....rrrrrrrr

[Damien]

Why does Barrett have hair now? :lol:

[[NBF]]

corner kick!

[tfc_4_ever]

Because he usually wears black and he can't because San Jose is wearing black. Kinda obvious...


sheeeesh
do need to be an asshole about it
;)

[Roogsy]

True...it's kinda natural for me though... :D

[Batman]

THis is a temprorary stadium for San Jose is it not?

[TFC USA]

I need a good proxy site to watch this game, anyone got one?

[Roogsy]

THis is a temprorary stadium for San Jose is it not?

Yep...

[[NBF]]

nice save sutton!

[Roogsy]

That HAD to be an offside.

[billyfly]

That SJ flag with the colours in the stands looks like Estonia's flag

[Super]

Ugh.. I'm finding it very hard to enjoy this game. All I can think about is the fact that we're in for months and months of off-season. :(

[Boschmeister]

Heard our boys chanting a bit "Oh when the Reds..."

[billyfly]

Couldn't SJ find a shirt Sponsor?

[Batman]

quote a strike and good save

[Damien]

Sutton saves the day again!

[[NBF]]

SJ, looked good there! Sutton is lucky.

[Boschmeister]

Yikes!! That was terrible from Sutton

[billyfly]

Close.

[[NBF]]

Johann Smith twice had the ball and lots of space, he should of used his speed to move the ball up.:(

[Roogsy]

;241746']Johann Smith twice had the ball and lots of space, he should of used his speed to move the ball up.:(

Agreed. Not having a good game so far.

[Boschmeister]

Nice Dichio chant from the lads

[[NBF]]

Sutton, is pulling out a cell phone????

[ACSertL]

I don't like how Barrett is getting forced wide...even though it was from that position that he got our only shot on goal.

[Batman]

We've done squat so far in this game!

[MUFC_Niagara]

That banner sounds so gay....." win or lose, we'll always be here for you"

Can someone help me cause I wanna watch the game but the cbc sports link isnt working it just keeps showing the hockey preview over and over?

Thank you! Now I can stop listening to the commentary on mlsnet.

[billyfly]

Who's that O'Brien guy with all that pace?

I wonder what he'd be like on FieldTurf.....

[[NBF]]

goddam ricketts gave up an opportunity there, and i was watching waiting for him to cross the ball.....rrrrrrrrr:(that ticks me off when im right

[The Oz]

Thank you! Now I an stop listening to the commentary on mlsnet.

ARGH, whenever i go to that link it shows the hockey preview and thats it! it just stops.

Right click on the screen that pops up and click on options, go to the 3rd tab Network then click configure, make sure its set on Autodetect Proxy setting then hit apply

[billyfly]

Atmosphere doesn't sound that bad I must admit

[Batman]

Thank you! Now I an stop listening to the commentary on mlsnet.

No problem. Enjoy.

[colman1860]

Am I the only one who thinks Huckerby looks like Marc (BMO Field)??

[ACSertL]

DeVos nailed it...even though it is abundantly obvious for anyone watching. Keep the ball!!!

[Helmet]

San Jose announcers were just talking saying that Toronto is pushing for Dero to be their DP.

[Batman]

San Jose announcers were just talking saying that Toronto is pushing for Dero to be their DP.

They fricking need him, thats for sure.

[Troll]

They're singing "Give us a goal"...

wtf?

[ParadymeTFC]

Ya I just heard that......

[Erkan16]

thats a first for me...

[Corpand]

this is gonna either be a bore draw where sutton saves all or a shitty loss.

[Boschmeister]

The camera men look they are basically on the field

[Super]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Batman]

man, what a snoozer

[[NBF]]

Was anyone counting how many times TFC got the ball to the 30 yards from and passed it wide for a cross??????? How many crosses do we have now? Are we winning?

[Red CB Toronto]

How are you guys hearing the San Jose announcers?

[Dub Narcotic]

Toronto lucky to be even at the break. Rohan Ricketts isn't due for his bi-monthly game where he actually plays well and Johann Smith continues to show nothing. There's no way he should be protected in the expansion draft. Sutton is playing well, minus one mistake.

[TFC Cityboy]

Johann needs to get into the game and Guevara needs to turn it over less.
Perhaps bring Gabe Gala at LB and push Jimmy B up?

[Batman]

OK, time for a Pilsner Urquell.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

TFC seem to be going back to their old form on the road, being outplayed, out hussled, that god for Sutton with 3 brilliant saves....whats with cbc having their
crew in a Toronto studio....bush league or what....cheap bastards...and no sign on the cbc sports site of any mls playoff coverage.

[TFC USA]

I just have a bad feeling Mo will revolt to his "Brits are the best" ways and snag Robbie Fowler for DP once Blackburn get rid of him (surely Fowler isn't going to stay on for the rest of the season). :D


DERO FOR DP!!!

[TFC Cityboy]

I just have a bad feeling Mo will revolt to his "Brits are the best" ways and snag Robbie Fowler for DP once Blackburn get rid of him (surely Fowler isn't going to stay on for the rest of the season). :D

Using MLSnet.com

Yes I am, but with Trader Mo you never know what will happen.

[[NBF]]

CSA better try to cap Ibrahim for the national team in 3 years!

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

DERO FOR DP!!!

Take Fowler over DeRo anyday....im sure TFC could get Dero without wasting the DP spot on him.

I asked John about the playoff coverage and he'll likely update us on that. It's a meaningless game so why waste travel money going to the other side of the continent?


Now if they can't make a trip to New York......

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

Johann needs to get into the game and Guevara needs to turn it over less.
Perhaps bring Gabe Gala at LB and push Jimmy B up?

Not on the bench. Not sure what Carver has against Gala.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Not on the bench. Not sure what Carver has against Gala.


Gala is going to be gone after tonight, hes not good enough except in the reserve league, keep him for that not a first team place.

[loconet]

Sutton once again saving our asses. We are very lucky to have him.

[denime]

;241798']CSA better try to cap Ibrahim for the national team in 3 years!
He is already playing for USA U18.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Sutton once again saving our asses. We are very lucky to have him.


MVP!!!

[denime]

San Jose announcers were just talking saying that Toronto is pushing for Dero to be their DP.
That was interesting comment from both comentators.
They said that TFC is pushing for DeRO and they are ready to pay same money that Landycake Donovan is making right now.No mater what, DP is comin and damn it we deserve one for sure.

[Dub Narcotic]

Ha, DeVos and Nigel don't get to go to Cancun for the CCL game.

[Dub Narcotic]

Jarrod Smith on for Johann. Don't be surprised if that's the last we see of Johann in red. Good riddance.

[Super]

I can't really blame CBC for saving on any part of the coverage. Just look at the ratings. We're just about the least attractive sport in this country. Sad, but true. Great support at BMO, sure, but TV ratings have been less than good this year.

[Batman]

Jarrod Smith on for Johann. Don't be surprised if that's the last we see of Johann in red. Good riddance.

Both of them have been pretty useless.

[Dub Narcotic]

Ruiz for Dichio. (!) How's Guatemala doing, you douche? I can't believe there's nobody else to put on.

[Erkan16]

streamers in the corner is one thing... streamers on the goal line upsets me.

The team hasn't done them any favours, playing like crap for 2/3 of the year.

[[NBF]]

Whos better Andrea Lombardo or Johann Smith, or Jarred Smith?

[Super]

1-0... Whatzzzzzzzzzzzzeverzzzzz

[Dub Narcotic]

Cochrane scores, 1-0 San Jose. De Vos bashing Sutton on the goal.

[[NBF]]

figures 1-0 san jose

[Erkan16]

well... we all saw that one coming.

[Super]

At least the play-offs aren't on the line tonight, otherwise I'd be pissed at this point.

[J .]

We havent played well at all... garbage.

[wzhxvy]

Dero is not a DP !!! Please no

[TFC USA]

CBC is a bulls**t sports network:(


I better explain this to you to. You get 20+ games of your favorite club on NATIONAL TV! Do you see TFC games played on Global Toronto (FOX News Canada)? Or CityTV or whatever that network is? You get 14 of them on CBC, all of them live on either Bold or the Main Network. They have so many contractual obligations to your nation's top sport, which is hockey, that not every game can be on CBC.


US TV does not care about soccer and it reflects on the coverage it gets nationally on cable. We get one nationally televised game on ESPN, you guys get it on public TV.


CBC is crap for events like basketball, but if you ever take a peak at ESPN's coverage of sports you would think CBC has great sports coverage.

[[NBF]]

wow, someone threw a knife on the field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TFC USA]

We've never won a game when a goal down, so expect a 2nd goal by SJ soon.

[RealG-TFC]

Someone tell them that O'brien is on San Jose, not Toronto.

[Dub Narcotic]

Why do people like Ricketts again? He has one good game every blue moon bracketed by four anonymous ones. We still haven't replaced Ronnie O'Brien.

[wzhxvy]

Riuz's hair is looking great tonight...good for him...glad he is able to warm up with us

[wzhxvy]

We're gonna win the league chant...awesome guys ! lol

[Erkan16]

last game of the season or not... when your down 0-1 there should be at least SOME sense of urgency to push the ball up field. too much standing around... thats a shame.

[Dub Narcotic]

What a pussy move by Sutton. Take that guy out.

[Batman]

Yep. Sometimes we take this stuff for granted. We have every game on TV and half on national tv... what other team can say that in Canada and US.

[J .]

DeVos hits the nail on the head.

Harmse is looking good.

[Dub Narcotic]

Finally, some good TFC play.

[Batman]

a bit of life!

[TFC USA]

What happened?

[wzhxvy]

Freeman wants to go to Europe huh ? good luck with that buddy

[Boschmeister]

Sounds like San Jose has their version of "Ooooooh Toronto, I am going crazy"

[TFC USA]

This thread is a bit dead......

[Troll]

Our team is lifeless. nobodies making any runs. Everybodies standing still.

[Dub Narcotic]

That Salinas guy is causing lots of problems, against Freeman.

[loconet]

It feels like the guys just want this game to end so they can start their holiday.

[Troll]

LOL @ Ruiz.

NEE representing!

[Batman]

Man, Ruiz has been a waste for Toronto.

[[NBF]]

Ricketts should be subbed off, every single ball possession he's had he's done nothing but cross the ball short.

[Boschmeister]

Wow those supporters are legends! They have made a lot of noise for about 30 or so of them

[Dub Narcotic]

Ruiz gets less than a half!! I surprised Carver didn't punch his useless lazy ass.

[Troll]

Man, Ruiz has been a waste for Toronto.


Waste all over the world have been insulted by your comment. Apologize.

[wzhxvy]

I agree our supporters are representing...awesome job guys

[Boschmeister]

Ruiz lost it

[Corpand]

woo Ruiz with the big balls. Nice to see you going off the team mate.

[sully]

bye bye Ruiz

[Damien]

u suck balls ruiz... take that jersey off now, u dont deserve to wear it

[wzhxvy]

Yeah it carries a message...nice job Mo acquiring a useless, uninspired loser

[[NBF]]

HAHAHA.... Ruiz is a cry baby!

[Troll]

Also gotta say that Robinson has been absolutely rubbish this match.

[billyfly]

LOL..That was funny. That was a Ron Wilson slap!

[J .]

Ruiz hasn't gotten any service either. The team is playing like dump.

[loconet]

Fuck off Ruiz. Fuck right off. Your game is over, your career is over. Unprofessional prick.

Another striker spot opens up!

[Erkan16]

booooooo ruiz... boooooooooo.

[TFC USA]

Jesus, the few times Mo looks outside the British Isles he brings this worthless piece of crap.

[iansmcl]

Carver = Velez fan? Why is he wearing his jersey? :p

[mclaren]

it's hard to watch this level of football after watching the sunderland newcastle game today. terrible performance by us, we're like Jekyll and Hyde.

[mclaren]

Carver = Velez fan? Why is he wearing his jersey? :p

velez is trying to bribe him with clothes to get a game.

[TFC USA]

Is the game over?


EDIT: As in how much time is left?

[Jack]

Carver = Velez fan? Why is he wearing his jersey? :p

They've all got different numbered warmups on.

[Troll]

Nice to see this kind of performance heading into the off-season.

Management can't be mistaken with the type of team we've got here. We need CHANGE!

[sully]

Is the game over?


EDIT: As in how much time is left?
2 mins

[Boschmeister]

What was Smith doing there?

[billyfly]

What a waste Jarod.

[Troll]

That little faggot was looking for the PK.

[loconet]

yay, another goal at the very end of the game. describes our season very well :(

[[NBF]]

Harmse go figure!

[RealG-TFC]

LOL Harmse, such a cancer...

[TFC USA]

Jarrod couldn't score on a dead hooker.


EDIT: Well done, we are the FIRST team in MLS history to give up 2 goals in every loss.

[Damien]

Mo better clean this fucking mess up in the off season or fire his scottish ass!

[billyfly]

And there yet again is a goal given up by TC in the last minutes....bru-tal

[Corpand]

well taken penalty.

See y'all next season.

[sully]

..."it's game over"....he says...

- as if it wasn't before now..

[dclaro]

how many PK's have TFC ever saved?

[Batman]

heads up guys. I'm closing this thread immediately upon the conclusion. Post game is open

[wzhxvy]

Jarrod Smith has proven to be a good hamster (runs around, looks good but ineffective) but nothing useful..he needs to go
