the penalty was one thing
but refusing to give a penalty back to Toronto on the vagrant fouls by Vancouver, plus a questionable offside call
that is really bush league?
where the fuck did they find this guy? the gutter at yonge and dundas during TFC street or something?
according to his bio the guy is a doctor in orillia. if there has ever been a clearer case of somebody who shouldn't quit his day job...
on the cunny offside shit-call, the linesman wasnt even close to being in position to call that, he's about 20 yards behind the play... fuck!
I should think of the refs feelings at the game? If that's what the ref is thinking he's bush league. No one needs to get personal but if he's doing a terrible job he's going to hear it.
I think holding the ref accountable is important. Clearly the league isn't doing anything to improve on the quality of officiating, so it's up to us to make noise when we're seeing bad calls. This isn't a teenage referee and a game of 8 year olds in the park. That would be the wrong time to start yelling at a ref, but TFC at BMO is as big as it gets around here, so the refs had damn well better be able to take some ribbing.

I cannot believe there was no manipulation yesterday. I dont care if it was because the cunt had his feelings hurt, because he's been a lifelong fan of Whitecaps or Impact, because he's working with the CSA to ensure more than one canadian team is considered succesful, because Saputo the billionaire has lined his pockets, or to assist the USL teams in their attempt to gain more credibility in their MLS bids.
I don't care either, all I care is that that match was DELIBERATELY manipulated.
It might as well be wrestling.
Anyone implying this game was fixed in any manner is letting the players off the hook.
Toronto played like shit and deserved to lose 1-0.
Has Anyone here, on this board, watched any other LIVE professional sporting event OTHER than Football in North America, and outside of Toronto?
Have you seen what happens at the Bell Center in Montreal when a ref makes a bad call? Or in Philadelphia when there's a flag on the play against the Eagles, and there shouldn't be? How about a Cubbies game in Chicago when the ump makes a bad call?
Yes we were brutal. But in all of the examples above, and in others, I have seen the refs get treated much worse.
Professional referees need to ignore the crowd and move on. Period.
Mate, I dont care if you're a top class referee or a kid in training.
You're 18, which means when you were the shape of a tadpole, I was watching professional football live.
I've seen some crazy shit in those 27 years of going to football matches, but never in my life have I seen anything so deliberate and blatant.
Open your eyes, boy.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king?
