I didn't think TFC did enough to get 3 pts let alone 1 pt. Giovinco and Osorio missing their chances hurt

I tuned in and the first thing I see the ref robbing us. Lol
What a fucking joke.
Read lips: "You're a disgrace. Disgraceful,' is what Vanney just said to him.
Just so frustrating.....watching the Euro then this......yes the play is not even close but the refs here are 5 classes lower. Just unbelievable.
Tough point to lose for TFC.
has the MLS been investigated for match fixing yet?
I don't know how that referee called that and didn't call the one two minutes earlier. A good referee is invisible during a game and isn't a deciding factor in the outcome. However, I feel that the majority of TFC's matches away from BMO this year have had terrible refereeing which has unfortunately impacted the games.
MLS refs have cost us so many fucking points this year.
How the hell are we gunna get more players like Gio to MLS with sub Conference level refs!
I really fucking hate Orlando. That was an atrocious call as well
I honestly don't know why I watch this anymore.....it's easier to just expect the worst thing that can happen to occur, and then be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't.....I think this franchise is just cursed sometimes....
to be honest i don't know if i would've been able to keep it together out there after that display.Quote:

Absolutely shocking display of refereeing. Yeah, we missed some chances, but there was no way that penalty should have ever been called, especially after the situation at the other end. Disgraceful.
Someone please post a link to the supposed foul call. I'm really curious now.
Speechless, just speechless! You've all said it best, nothing else to say just speechless!
Not sure why we're surprised! Lower league, Lower quality everything. MLS is a Joke!
To be honest, it was a foul.Quote:

The fact it was Kaka probably played into it.
Not just that the ref called the one PK & not the other: Bendik's foul was much worse. On the PK that he called, both players were using their arms, and Orlando player basically just fell when Moor moved away.
MLSE curse is alive and well. I feel bad for most of the TFC players, they tried, they lost. It happens. A generally lousy day of soccer, lots of crappy Euro games, and finishing with a mediocre display by Toronto. I hope the keeper is alright, because without him, last place is a distinct possibility.Quote:

Do you get angry when you read a sports column after an abysmal performance by TFC?Quote:

Obviously TFC players not converting killed us, but they did enough for a point.Quote:

Its maddening.
I can take players being bad because we can always find another one.
But these guys, they kill your soul.
No, it's fucking not. Get a grip.Quote:

Can't believe the ref bought it. It was clearly a dive.
You kind of wonder. It was looked into a few years ago but nothing recent AFAIK.Quote:
