That shit might fly at the Raps game, because the overall level of cheese
is much higher down at the ACC, but it really doesn't cut it at BMO.
as for people calling it 'The FC', I don't really care anymore.
It's like seeing some chic in a Motley Crue t-shirt
but she can't name any of their albums. They want to be down,
but clearly they just don't know that you have to do some homework.

I'm not a MLSE apologist. Far from it. Still they do/did a good job of filling the seats with people that wouldn't normally call themselves soccer fans.
So us "seasoned" supporters might find this shtick insulting and aggravating...but who's to say the people with seats in the middle of the field don't like it? Without those people we'd be like the rest of the MLS...supporters filling the end sections and a smattering of families in the middle of the field.
I think it's great we voice our displeasure and stay on MLSE to make sure they don't bastardize the game experience totally into something from the ACC...but at the same time it's egocentric to assume everything they do is catered to the supporters.
I sit in the middle of the field, in expensive seats, and I can honestly say that I don't like it as a "fan" (as opposed to a supporter).
You've got a very valid point that TFC can't cater strictly to the south end supporters,
as it takes a whole collection of different people to fill a stadium,
but I always saw TFC as the classy sporting event in the city.
We don't need t-shirt cannons, or a free slice of pizza with 100 points scored.
We are there to watch the game we love, and the extra trappings aren't required.
I think there are common fans who see it that way too.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
I completely Agree im there to watch the game, cheer a lot and have fun. if i want all the pregame jazz of names being called and crap ill go to a raptors game. That being said ill take a free slice of Pizza anyday!!
I agree with you 100%. My preference is to keep that crap out of BMO.
I do wonder though, if having sell outs is worth the trade off of letting MLSE screw around with Halftime. I mean halftime we're all lining up for beers/bathroom or gone for smokes, or having a sit down to rest up for the 2nd half. It's not like we're really giving anything up.
I'd also like to think the game as is, is insulated from the crap you see at North American sporting events because of the lack of stoppages.
I've been to college football games and NFL games where the official with the orange oven mitts (the tv time out guy) gets booed when he steps on the field. Luckily we don't have that problem and never will.
unless they let me work the t-shirt cannon. That would change everything!

C-C-Carl Robinson...LOL
Toronto City would have been too pompous and exaggerated.
hahah..... why not TORONTO MEGA
as in... 'megacity'

According to the "map" of BMO, 127 isn't a supporter section. The south end is designated "supporter" and not all the staff are up to speed on the growth of supporters section to include 126/127. They're learning, slowly...
I had no bother bringing my flag in on Saturday to 127
The great thing about 127 is that its much easier to sneak into than the supporters end.
I was wondering about that. Does stuttering make people excited in hockey or american football?
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
Roy Keane
Jeff C..C...C........COULDN"T SCORE!
Seriously though, sack the announcer. he's fucking terrible.
GTAFC
I think he just needs a good talking-to. LOL We're not at the circus.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here's Paco and the fire breathing dragons"!
W-W-What st-st-stuttering? M-M-Makes me excited!
I haven't seen a cannon...they just have those poor girls throwing them into the stands. LOL! Some of the shirts don't make it past the 2nd row.
Don't you mean... F-F-F-F-FIRE his ass!
who should we email/call about the announcer???
when season ticket holders complain....there is slightly more pull than the average fan.
There are so many more important things to be complaining about. They’ll think we’re a bunch of sucky, whiney, crybabies who are never satisfied.
To be honest the stuttering really doesn't bother me that much

Hey man let them go at it. Hopefully it'll keep the "Carver is a bad coach" threads quiet!To be honest the stuttering really doesn't bother me that much
In all honesty if someone asks me if I saw the FC game it doesn't bother me at all. At least they're interested.
I haven't been around most of the year so I was wondering what happened? This guy is such crap, does management not realize it? Paul? Whomever is in charge of this....please stop the stuttering fool.
It's not nice to make fun of a disability...
I don't care for the stuttering, but I could deal with it...IF THEY WOULD JUST CALL THE TEAM BY IT'S PROPER NAME!
Again, let me say that I applied for the job and was never called, never emailed back, never contacted in any way, shape or form...
I KNOW, for a FACT, that I would be at least 10 times better than the guy doing it now. That's not me being cocky...that's me knowing I have a good voice for it, coupled with a strong knowledge of the game.
Why wasn't I contacted? Probably because I have zero experience in doing this at a professional level. Probably because my cover letter didn't say I want to be the next Herbie Kuhn or Andy Frost. Probably because I've never voiced a commercial for Monster Jam or UFC.
I'm not bitter...just disappointed knowing that I'd be great at it, and instead they went for your typical "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!" garbage.
