..well, not really. Not big news just wanted to share.
MLS posted it's Photos of the Week for Week 18, included was a double flare shot of the Chicago Fire crowd.
I commented about how it's funny that in Toronto they kick out sections for doing that, but MLS advertises Chicago doing it.
2 minutes later the picture is nowhere to be found!
The end.
MLS is afraid of ULTRAS
I would be too if I was MLS. Big bad ULTRAS are scary.
Chicago and New York are allowed to use them but they coordinate it with the FO. I remember when RBA opened up they had a cool flare display but it was all set up by the owners, they even had a bucket of sand.
Damn that's cool, didn't know. They look so damn amazing from all around the stadium, I wish more teams would get on board with it.Quote:

Considering the state of ticket sales the iron is indeed hot for TFC supporter groups to try and come to an agreement with the front office in regards to flare and smoke displays. We'll likely never see a stronger bargaining position again in the near future. :flare:Quote:

this was it, then a few ultras blasted the FO for using this picture when they've got the fairy tail story line.

MY DREAM FOR TFC:rolleyes:
Analogy, NFL James Harrison Steelers legal hits never flagged but they fine him. Then they put a video out highlighting the hits in question.Quote:

They are probably more afraid of guys panicking and throwing lit flares into the crowd, like last year in 110-111.Quote:

That's the rule, you either know it and respect it OR you flaunt it for your own personal agenda and put the executive in a no-win situation.
There he lies on a bed flames. He's wearing an apron because he plans on roasting hot dogs once he wakes up from his cat nap.Quote:

Id like to shove a flare up Chad Marshall's arse. .
I fookin hate 'm.
We could also recycle the "post game rant" topic, just don't add any specific game to the thread title......Quote:
