Post-Game Thread: NE vs TFC

[Bobo]

Good game, however all three goals came from our creative midfielders. WE need help in the forward area. Dichio is a good player, but he cannot play all the games anymore, he is a good substitute with the occassional start. We need to either find a clone of Dichio who is a bit younger, or start looking elsewhere. Personally of all the ex Reds I'd like back, I'd like Eskandarian...he worked hard and can score the odd goal.

And our big man was playing set up guy LOL. Maybe Danny and Amado should switch places on the field. Dichio did have a very good game though.

Got to say, 125_TFC (cant remember his name, sorry) did a great job after the game. Keep up the good work!

Great game.

Here's my one gripe....

This is to whomever is in 112 and chants "We smoke weed all day, we drink beer all day".....you're all top class losers, undisputed.

It's one thing to be ignorant enough to chant that knowing that children are within earshot....but it's almost worse to be bragging about it. Like if you do in fact smoke weed and drink beer all day...that's cool, I indulge myself...but to jump up and down and sing about it had to be the most pathetic display of adult human behavior I've ever seen in any place. I tip my cap to you, sweaty-armpitted donkey man at the top of 112.

Why do we keep fooling ourselves into thinking this team is better with Dichio on the bench?

Does anyone have any stats on wins and losses when Dichio starts vs when he doesn't play or subs on? I really need to see this...

You now that this has been a question mark for me for some time, I never quite understand why he has started so little even after Cummins took over. Our best eleven includes Dichio simple.

Ouch ... I walked in the door at 6:38 pm, after taking the GO and a streetcar. I have to give you credit for coming; I'm not sure I'd be so loyal!!

Buy why didn't you catch the VIA train that get's into Brantford at 8:20 pm?

no money.. bought the grey away jersey with Wynne 16 on the back and that killed the wallet for the month...even yesterday i had to borrow money just to eat at the tailgate... 3.5 hr stay in Hamilton is not bad when the weather is friendly..but Go has to advance to brantford sooner or later sooner.. i hope. I love TFC and football...

No I think Joseph was entirely responsible for that one - it was a world-class finish.

I thought marking on Joseph could have been better. Though Joseph was quality in the game, esp first half. If he was a pure striker, he would have put in more of the chances he had.

[Yohan]

im not saying hes horrible all the time, but he cant finish for his life and is too inconsistent to be a starter. personally i think vitti has great potential and once he gets his first goal will gain confidence and be able to be a starting striker

3) Barrett: another great game. I think he dinked one out over the end line for a goal kick and one pass over the head of DeRo for a throw in the first half, but otherwise, the man can control the ball and run with it, he can get open and he can pass. And he can shoot, as we saw the other game. Vitti had the one little trick today, and I think Cummins got the starting lineup right.

yep. Barrett had a great game as a WINGER. he ran. he got at the end of passes. he hustled his butt off.

if he can get a bit of a better crossing going, I think Barrett would make a great winger

[DoubleUp]

I think vitti would be much more affective as an attacking midfielder.

[Yohan]

also not happy about the free headers and some defensive lapses in first half.

and amount of free kicks given away just outside the box

could have easily bit us in the ass big time

My friend and I were positive that we heard the announcer at today's TFC match say that if you brought your ticket for today's match to Lamport for the youth/reserve match today at 7pm you would be allowed in free. Well, apparently "free" is 5$ each.

We told them what the announcer said, but the 18 yr old girl working the gate said it was still 5$, so we said f@#k it and left out of principle.

When the match was started (as we passed the pitch in the street car) there were maybe 30 people in the entire stands watching the game.

It makes total sense that they would allow people in for free to check out atleast one match. Especially since the TFC match just ended. Then more fans might come out the next time and pay to support them.

After being told one thing and then another at the gate we just said f@#k and left. It wasnt' about the 5$ to get in. If your going to have a promotion, make sure your staff knows about it.

Because Im' sure as hell not going to another match there ever again.

No, unfortunately, the announcer did actually say it was 5$.

Give yourself credit, if you've gone to any away game, you've done the same!

Along the same note, I'm real glad I saw a good game having come down from Ottawa for this one.

P.S. Didn't even notice any lacross leftovers either.

I thought so as well.
