I Am So Glad Carver Is Our Manager

Draw, was not a good result at home. This is certainly true, but for the rest of the complaining, while there may be some validity for your view, that the best players should start, Carver has a reason for his policy, he wants it to be about the team and competing for spots, and to make it know that no spot is guaranteed. I you work hard and perform you will be rewarded wether you are Harmse or Robert or Dichio. Maybe it backfired today, but overall if we have succes this year, it is in large part because of him, from bringing in Robert, to the formation and style we play. I am confident that Carver will make us the class of the league.

I am confident that my faith in him will be rewarded.

I agree.

**noochie** · 06-21-2008, 09:47 PM

Carver is the man. I may not agree with everything he does however the turn around is undeniable and I love his passion on the sidelines. He said it best today in the post game interview... he can only do so much, they need a finisher (same old, same old).

I think his wholesale changes in the 2nd half were almost an acknowledgement that perhaps he had made a mistake. I admire that he gave them a chance to repeat, I don't think he will make the same mistake twice.

In JC we trust!

If anyone wants to be negative... go to the other thread....only positive vibes here please

**WHITEY** · 06-21-2008, 09:48 PM

Very well said!

**Cashcleaner** · 06-21-2008, 10:05 PM

We had a bad day today. That sorta tells you something that even when we have a bad day, we'll still pull out a draw!

**noochie** · 06-21-2008, 10:13 PM

You know... NE is losing in the 76' and Columbus has been struggling lately and are on the road in LA... if the scoreline sticks in Salt Lake and the Crew lose/draw in LA... then we can simply wipe this one from memory and enjoy the beating we are going to lay on the whitecaps July 1

EDIT: CLB is losing as well

EDIT 2: So in summary if both NE and CLB lose then we gain ground today... and lose none, not bad given the ON-field performance... lol

**ExiledRed** · 06-21-2008, 10:33 PM

Revs lost to Salt Lake,

LA beating the Crew....

Things arent so bad

oh and bump..

**djking2** · 06-21-2008, 10:36 PM

Here's to JC. MLS manager of the year no fuckin problem

**Roogsy** · 06-21-2008, 10:37 PM

^Nice! 3 points would have been nice...but at least our position in the Eastern Conference is holding nicely.

Although I WOULD like to stay ahead of LA or whoever else may lead the West. Our position in the playoffs AND in the Superliga may depend on it.

Word!

Here is how it looks as it stands.

Revs - GP: 14 Pts: 27
CLB - GP: 13 Pts: 22 (in progress at the half)
TOR - GP: 13 Pts: 21

Net result is that we gain a point on both teams ahead of us and still hold a game in hand on the Revs who we play next weekend. Chicago is 2 behind us at 12 GP and 19 Pts but have been on the skids lately.

Looking up indeed

Not the playoffs... we would only have to be worried about the 5th place team in the west holding a higher position that the 4th place team in the East (if we finished there) because both wildcards would go though from the west in that scenario.

Top 3 from E/W automatically go through regardless of points (starting this year).

**yanggoh** · 06-21-2008, 10:41 PM

Seriously, it's only one game, and it wasn't even a loss. Why are people in the other threads freaking out over a tie...would they rather witness last season all over again? I don't think so.

Yeah, not really worried about getting IN to the playoffs...just whether we have the top seed.

Gotcha, and on that note, 2-0 LA

Are you kidding me? He took the worst professional team (Does anyone remember the hours watching Lombardo running around in circles...) in perhasp all f professional footbal, and made it better.
Given a full house an MLSE support ($'s!),do we really thin this is rocket science?
ooops I fogot, we also spent 60K on analytical software he helped design... I'm sorry, the man is a genious!

**Roogsy** · 06-21-2008, 10:56 PM

It's all about results. You can mock or criticize the man all you want, but the results do not lie.

And taking a team with so much support and making them contenders could be considered rocket science. At least that is how all of us Leaf fans justifying not having a contending team despite having the richest team in the league.

Dunno if you were a fan of TFC last year or not...but it's night and day. Night and freakin' day!

That and we are 1 win off the pace of the league leading Revs... is Steve Nichol shit also then? Just wondering what the bar is.

**Bombonera** · 06-21-2008, 11:05 PM

FYI - All games when in TO since the beginning... NOt a newbie. Sorry.

but frankly it couldn't have possibly been more "night' than last year. Mind you, Dichio's goal to tie and clinch last place was one of the best live sports experinces I have enjoyed!

but really, no way they could have gotten worse.

**Cambridge_Red** · 06-21-2008, 11:05 PM

Easy now you may get someone offering you a fight over talk like this

**djking2** · 06-21-2008, 11:12 PM

La-2 Clb-2 75:48

**Cambridge_Red** · 06-21-2008, 11:13 PM

Nice

this works!!

**Bombonera** · 06-21-2008, 11:17 PM

No BS. What a moment! Ohhhhh Dichiooooo!

What hapenned today was the exact opposite. We will persevere, but we all know that what hapenned today was unbelievably embarassing. A tie should not be acceptable.

That's what they said in Salt Lake in '06

2006 - 39 pts
2007 - 27 pts

And on another positive vibe note: KC has a real chance of breaking our scoreless drought record the way they are going. According to a BS poster they are at 320 minutes.

**noochie** · 06-21-2008, 11:19 PM

Beckham flop... Landycakes takes penalty... 3-2 LA
