A REAL reason to be upset...
Did anyone else hear the BMO Field announcer call the team "FC"?
Ok...I have let go of my intense hatred for media who use "FC". They are ignorant. I excuse them for being hockey-loving newbies.
But our OWN announcer?
Can someone get Paul Bierne on the phone and have him smack that announcer around a little?
I almost spilled my beer when I heard it.
I am MUCH more upset about that, than I am about the draw. LOL!
I noticed... and wept silently.
Suit there it is!
oops! I didn't notice that...
... simply wrong...
I think any mention of our team on the loud speaker should be "Toronto"... and that's all.
well.ytime i hear that guy introduce the players names like its some WWE match. It makes me cringe. this just takes the cake.
Who's this "FC" team people keep referring to?
I don't understand why our announcer would randomly talk about Dallas like that...
I also hate the "J-J-Jim Brennan" bullshit, stuttering is NOT necessary for any announcing, ever.
But yes, I noticed and yelled out "TFC!!!" when he said it.
This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking true.Originally Posted by Ratven
I hate that shit.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Trying to go... American on us.
I pooped myself upon hearin this, ask Pedro.
A good friend of ours actually applied for that job- they should have given it to him...he would have done WAY better
Pooping himself?
c-c-c-carl?? I hate that shit!!!
HAHAHA, possibly
come on Jack... have a talk with the folks at BMO and get them to have a word with the announcer!
I know you have some pull with those people...
as far as I'm concerned BMO Field (the stadium not Marc) gets a F on all fronts today...
From the announcer, to security, to game ops, it was absolutely one of the worst game day experiences to date
I'm consistently amazed that security at Gate 3 is confused about flag rules EVERY game. I had to go through THREE security people today before someone explained to them that supporter section is allowed flags.
I had the same problem today at gate 1... the guy didn't comprehend that flags are allowed in 127... and last week too, some baboon of a security guard stopped me after i came into the gates and told me to take it to guest services... idiot, the baboon didn't think that if the people at the gate let me in with it, obviously I'm allowed to have it
I know you're not referring to me, but you could be, as I applied for it too.
Not even a phone call. No interview. Nothing.
I've got the voice for this shit, and I know the game, and I don't stutter (C-C-C-Carl Robinson).
Fucking horrible
Fire his ass.
I noticed also.....the worst part was when he said, "you're FC soccer team"....WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
and I too hate the stuttering.
the opening anouncment Sounds like a raptors game
They need to fire the announcer. Really. He's horrible.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
i thought i just missed the T when he said FC...what a clown
Slowly slipping away towards giving away 50$ rona gift cards everytime there's a yellow card or something as stupid...
I think it's part of preparing us for the Argos moving in... Stupid announcer, them pumping in "Seven Nation Army" before the game, them with their idiotic Jack Astors half time thing, the police escorting game op bitch to check tickets... Who knows, next those small screens to the sides of the scoreboard will be telling us what and when to chant, with video of a pair of clapping hands...
(shudder)
He also called the CSL "CL...S" in one of the promos...
haha reading the thread i just remembered the stuttering, so dumb! I was a bit tipsy going into BMO i must admit but at first i though the guy actually had a slip and stuttered, then the next time i heard it, i knew he was doing it on purpose. That is just so stupid! How does he sleep at night? Probably with a smug grin thinking hes oh so cool i would assume. J-J-J-Jackass!
