Union supporters bus attacked outside Red Bull Arena
Looks like it got a little interesting outside Red Bull Arena on Saturday after the Union's 2-1 loss to RBNY. So called RBNY whatevers proceeded to throw rocks at the bus carrying the Sons of Ben.

Union fans' bus attacked outside Red Bull Arena
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Dead Bulls twats staying classy as always. Worthless trash.
Nice! We have a new stadium and a winning team...let's pick on the new kids.
its just a little hazing. nothing to get too worked up over
now it's a rivalry
Classy. Just what football needs in order to spread and become more popular.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
And that's my biggest problem with situations like this...Originally Posted by volunteer
Not that it happened, but the apologists.
No, actually.
It's a rivalry ffs occasionally a fierce rivalry will get out of hand that's what the cops are for, no need for the wailing and gnashing of teeth
That is just stupid, I don't care if its a rivalry or what attacking a bus is just stupid. And at the bottom of the page you can see a pic of the supporters area and yup its at the top and in the corner of the stadium in NY.
How can it be called a rivalry if one of the teams has existed for all of one month?
Some Red Bulls fan probably has spent the winter reading up on what European ultras do and thought it'd be fun to try.
Philly & New york is a lot like Toronto/Montreal.

I realize that, I do watch hockey.Still, I really doubt that anyone here felt real genuine loathing for the Impact the first time we played them. People pretended to, sure, but it's hard to really hate a team you know zilch about and have never played before. Not to mention, neither team's fans started throwing rocks...
I might not have "loathed" the Impact per se, but I did dislike their supporters and the city in general. It didn't take long into that first game in Montreal though to know I hated the Impact too!I realize that, I do watch hockey.
When Montreal gets in and we send 5,000 of us for an away game (if there are tickets) do you think there won't be any drunken incidents of stupidity? However rock throwing at people in a bus, is very very stupid. One off fights, sure every sport, every where.
This incident could have higher meaning, lets just hope its one guy.
I don't get it. NYRB fans barely showed up to games last year, now they're rock throwing hoodlums? Doesn't add up.
And the teams have only played once in early season.
Nice to see though that they're filling up the stadium. Here's the shot of the Sons Of Ben inside Red Bull Arena.
Beside other sports rivalries between these two, the commentator on a Spanish channel pointed out that their football "rivalry" goes back to the NASL days when Atoms dethroned Cosmos the year Atoms came into the league.
thats pretty much it, how does it differ any from us and our 'rivals'
Were there incidents in Montreal in our first visit there in '08?
Both teams were "new".
Yes - Newness aside, Montreal had a poorly executed plan to ambush us as we came down the stairs from our seats.
Fistfights in the stadium. Scarf stolen and burned...
With some people the hate transcends the sport.
i'm not surprised considering the fights that happen between fans in other sports (eagles/giants, phillies/mets, flyers/devils), and that's where the travelling support is seen as some individuals peppered throughout the stadium, not a large mass of fans where there is more intimidation and people feel that they can run their mouthes with more confidence.
it's stupid that it happened, but when traveling support is seen as a threat, these things happen.
dumb, and next.......how old are you
Exactly
I remember in 1993 after the Leafs won game 7 against the Blues, when cops on horses had to come to the rescue of the St Louis Blue's team bus. It was getting rocked back and forth to the point where it was on only 2 wheels sometimes. Had to watch your feet when the wheels landed...didn't want to get them crushed.
Would have been a shame if Ron Caron had gotten a boo boo
NO! cops are for capturing murders, serious offenders and protecting us and our families from mental midgets, not losers who have nothing left in their lives except to spread hatred and scare any innocents that are at games to actually ENJOY... themselves........Remember this the next time you can't find a cop when you're in trouble......
Just ask DC supporters.
Shite Bull supporters are the most classless group in the league.
Thought that distinction had to go to the White Warriors of Kolumbus.
Surely COlumbus are still the worst right?
don't give them that credit. those "hooligans" have ruby tuesday's as a sponsor on their t-shirts. hahaha
good to see Philly SOBs helping the attendance at Red Bull Arena.
what was the attendance yesterday? When they showed Hans Backe you could see whole sections empty in the upper deck.
15619.
It'll rise if they keep winning.
