Been working most of the day, kept the TV off. I turn it on during the last few minutes to catch what is going on with the game and I am greeted by a goal against us by their keeper?
what about this?
That's a good one too. But ag posted first.
Nicholas Lindsay and Maicon Santos were bright spots for us today. Both played very well.
So let's sum up:
The most embarrassing goal I've ever seen scored on TFC: check
Still winless in 11 meetings against Columbus: check
Wear Green protest successful: nope, and only barely visible on TV.
Owards and upwards.
The silence coming from both NEE and the RPB sections really had an impact on the match on telly though.
6 reds were surrounding the Hesper. He made a fake shot. Enough time if someone were closing him down. Nobody was closing him down.
The radio guys couldn't stop talking about the lack of singing though, so that worked.
They are absolutely horrible commentators. After the first Columbus goal I couldn't be sure that anyone had scored, because they didn't actually say anything about the ball going in the net. I turned it on later and didn't know what the score was for about 15 minutes, because neither thought it might be helpful for their listeners.
oh god i know eh? i heard random fan chants.
even heard a wave trying to be started up.
A
FUCKING
WAVE
Totally. The wear green protest wasn't successful, but now we know for next time
sulfur, you're totally right on the silence.
I think Wear Green failed largely because not all groups agreed. All groups agreed on the (relative) silence and it worked well.
Well, I can't fault the effort today. I honestly think TFC is cursed against Columbus. Of all possible scenarios to give up the lead, it figures their keeper would score the late equalizer
On another note, I hope MLSE took notice of the moribund atmosphere today. If things don't turn around next season, they can expect that to be the norm as opposed to the exception...
Shame about the drums...they could be heard in the 2nd half.
O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever
I can't wait to see the atmosphere on Tuesday night.
Well, if I get home from my own game in time that night to see it on telly that is...
That was TRN. They could be heard on and off from about the 25th or 26th minute.
Everything looked so good. Santos scores a beautiful sizzler, Peterson gives our side the lead, the Reds control play all game, Conway smacks and drops fucking Big Bird Leinhart and gets him thown out. All looks well in extra time...
And the fucking goalkeeper Hesmer comes out of nowheres and scores to tie things up.
FUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!
That's our team, this year, in a nutshell.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
True that.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Didnt even bothered going to the game,had it on in the house while I worked on my kitchen,I only stopped to watch when I heard Tom "Salami" speaking,he was such a dissapoinment when he talked just like the whole fucken organization is !!!!!!!! FUCKEN GARBAGE !!!!!!!.I am taking King Daves route,only when you dont show up is when they will learn.Showing up dressed in green and no chanting,does fuck all to these Greedy Fuckers MLSE!!!!!!!!!!
they were extra annoying today.
Did no one ask them to help out??
with no other sounds...it was the same drum beat over and over for the entire game...nothing else to compete with them for sound.
TRN needs to learn a new song or two.
Hopefully, TFC will cruise to an easy victory against Arabs United on Tuesday and send 5000 supporters home happy...

^ with 10k+ announced!
U sector sounded pathtic.
The silence from the two corners was terribly perfect.
It was the longest game I have ever sat through.
The green initiative was not meant for TV. We knew it would be a small number compared to the rest of the stadium but if you were AT the game you would have seen many green shirts and no singing. A show of solidarity among all frustrated fans that was very evident in all sections. Combined with the very effectice silence that 112 took part in fully and the message was sent and received hence in our opinion it was successful. I don't think I read once that this green thing was for TV so why mislead that way?
I don't think we can even beat DC United. Just take it the whole distance and play only academy kids.
By all reports, DC and the Fire played a very entertaining 0-0 draw in McBride's final home game of his career.
Actually, the silence was stadium wide. Most people simply would not chant today realizing that a message needs to be sent. I for one ended my silence at half time and will never, I repeat, NEVER pipe down when the boys are on the pitch again.
Love banners, love gate 4 protests, hate not singing for the boys.
On telly, the silence (or relative silence at least) was pretty much constant for the entire game, other than the TRN drumming and the cheers Conway got when he left the pitch.
TRN was silent for first half. Ended silence in second. Thus the drums.
That was a handball on the equalizer, right?
