i'd need to see the replay again, but i think he was slipping, he didn't have his arms outstretched as much as he had them up.

Would you be saying the same if it was their guy who did it?

His is hand was in the air before the ball made contact with the attackers head for the header and was on the way down when it made contact. And yes I'd say the same for their team. That has to be taken into account

reavalle, great goal. He's still not good though

I wonder if the no call was influenced at all by the penalty call in the minds of the refs.

Seriously bud it's as blatant a penalty as you can get.

yeah dude. this isn't a blind loyalty thing.
i can admit we got lucky with not getting a penalty last week.

morgan seemed to have his arms up before the header even came off, so it looked ball to hand. then again this is MLS and we've seen things like that go either way.

like i said, calls like that in MLS seem to go either way. it looked ball to hand, morgan didn't even look like he was trying to stop the play or control the ball because he had his arms up as the cross was coming in and he wasn't in the way of it. again, the replay would help. i could be completely wrong.

I don't think so the ball was like 5 feet in front of the defender when he fell. He had no chance of getting it

Creavalle scoring means Vanney will keep playing him :/

Considering how badly TFC is killing SJ defence he can continue to start

seriously how is Luke moore still in the starting 11 on this team ? since this game is being broadcast in the UK they are having a nice laugh at the luke moore on twitter..

‏@TomArnold1994 20m20 minutes ago Only in the MLS could a player as bad as Luke Moore flick on a header for a player as good as Sebastien Giovinco #wba

@graha1874 20m20 minutes ago
Stuck some money on Toronto FC and then find out they've got Luke Moore playing up front for them #stinking

‏@RyanThomas_94 33m33 minutes ago Luke Moore plays in MLS. Why?

‏@arleneisaboot 34m34 minutes ago
No Jozy Altidore and a virtually empty stadium at Toronto means I'm not watching a 5th game of the day. Luke Moore though?!

@ThisisWavey 18m18 minutes ago Luke moore is useless #tfc

Everybody knows this guy is doo doo except vanny. just let hamilton start.

ahh, the typical "making yourself big" handball. i was wrong.
fair enough. again, we have seen these go either way but yeah that was a handball.
it was stupid, but it was a handball.

Creavalle looks about a million times better in midfield than at RB.

Morgan obviously graduated from the Steven Caldwell School of Defending judging by that penalty.

good to see bradley commanding the back like that on the free kick.

Yes ... but he still gives the ball away too much.

totally agree, he looked a lot better in the first half though.

i wouldn't be opposed to seeing hamilton come on for moore at some point.
we've been on the backfoot since the start of the half.

Ugh bunkering already

Chapman but no Hamilton

Gotta admit, SJ is defending pretty well. They're shifting quickly and putting a lot of pressure on the ball.

not a fan of closing up shop at the 55th, but excited to see chapman come on.

But that's the thing. I don't think we're bunkering ... I think SJ is just doing a good job hemming us in.

I think that's Vanney's reasoning for bringing Jackson on -- to get some speed in there on the flank to try to punch through the midfield.
