Well done 112/113
When I'm old and grey, and telling my grandkids about the good old days of TFC, I'm telling them what I saw today.
Regardless of the the score line, you kept up constant song for 90 minutes, the energy in the sections was immense, the smoke looked fantastic, it was all top class.
Well done!
The supporters were as much the story tonight as the shite on the field was.
The whole evening reminded me of 2007. The march, the shit result, the non stop singing in the stands and the smoke.
Well done all.
And I hope 127 did not get too busted up by the 5.0
smoke/flare pics?
what did 127 do?
112 was rocking
the supporters were the only positive tonight. I was heartened by the fact that they did not give up and chanted incessantly.
Flares in 127, at least the first 5 or 6 rows from the looks of it got ejected by Toronto PD/BMO Security.Originally Posted by prizby
I have pics in the camera, not sure if anything of either the smoke bombs or flares came out.
did the people who lit the flares/ smoke get ejected??
We should have let off the smoke flares at the beginning of the game so I didn't have to see DC's 2 goals.
Beautiful job! I was wondering about 127... there was a stream of security/police heading down there. I am surprised that was "just" flares.
I for one support what happened tonight. Good Job Boys. My only concern is that I wasn't able to attend.
Also the last 20 min (although I didn't particularily like the song choice, but thats just my opinion) sounded absolutely amazing over the TV and the amount of energy coming out of 112 and 113 was beautiful.
+1
You guys looked fantastic from 225.
Yeah, I caught at least 8-9 officers in 127, though, the flares looked mighty bright from the other end.
My view from 111 at 112/113.

Kudos for keeping the atmosphere, no matter the product on the pitch..
112 & 113 were amazing tonight you guys really showed what supporting is about.
127 really turned it on, but the first 7 or 8 rows were ejected in the 85th minute because of a flare (nobody hurt or arrested as far as I could tell).
Chanting yes. Smoke and flares on the march, ok
Smoke and flares in the stadium? As good as they looked against the night sky, unless you like pat down searches and extra hassles, not exactly brilliant. Rules are pretty simple. If you want a voice with the FO, this isn't a good long term way to do it
That "Just Can't Get Enough" chant is catching on. Well done whoever brought it forward.

Paul B is a moron for saying supporters endangered fans
You don't think 5 or 6 lit flares right under massive flags in a crowded section is even a little bit of a safety issue?
Regardless, I thought it looked great but can't see the league ever allowing them due to liabilty.
MLSE - Ejecting Supporters for being passionate...at least the fans showed up tonight.
I agree it's a safety issue, but wow, it looked amazing
Paul B. is walking a dangerous line, cause if the supporters are stifled, this bad team who i love and support btw, will be dead.....and done, btw love Winter after the game he made a sincere gesture of saying the 12th man was the only thing positive about tonight., and was thankful.....classy,....stuff it MLSE
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana

Take the flares and smoke out of this match and I'd really be depressed right now. The game was pure shite. But being in the stands with the smoke and the song - fkin awesome. I can still feel the adrenaline.
Aside: DC sang their version of "Just Can't Get Enough" for the last ~10 mins or so.
The smoke was incredible to see from the north end.
Sadly, that was the only good thing about tonights game.
I'm watching the replay on GOL TV right now just to see what it looked like on tv...
The game in 6 and all other videos seem to omit the game from 76 to the 88 minute.
I dont know how you guys held it together when Charlie Davis and his classless asses danced and taunted in front of RBP/Usector ..... disgracefully unprofessional. Winter should have been all over that in post game !!!
i was in 126 and what it looked like was the cops came over to find out who lit off the flare and obviously no one would say, so they kicked out the whole first few rows.
What was really crazy was while the flare was actually going on, the cop right beside us looked over and laughed, totally didn't care at all, he thought it looked cool based on the way he was looking at it. Then a couple min AFTER the flare was already out, THEN the cops went over. it was pure bullshit.
112/113 sounded good from as far as me, could especially here the "just can't get enough" chat, i love it! Well done boys
That would be because they really don't care. They don't bother anyone outside the stadium do they? Its Paul B and the FO that care. Their reaction is complaint based. And I'm willing to bet that they are asked not to react until it is out because it looks good on TV. I watched the FSC feed of the game and they ate that shit up. Even showed it after the game again.
I hate to say this, but that was the most fun I have ever had in a 3-0 loss. Kudos to whomever got us going again after the 3rd goal. My voice is shot and my ankles are just beginning to hurt, but I will not forget this night in 112. The smoke was awesome, the flares looked great.
loved being in 112 tonight. don't manage to get a seat there often, and between the singing and the smoke, tonight was simply the best atmosphere i've experienced there yet. ALL WITHOUT A DRUM. incredible. i tried to do my part as a non-regular and am hoarse for it.
that being said--when you drop a smoke bomb, do it with some fucking care? perhaps a quiet word to your neighbours? goddamn thing just bounced around somehow when it was dropped, hit me in the back of the leg and singed my jeans.
Gonna chime in here and I know there will be disagreement.
But this team has always been about the support and the passion of those who spend time and money season in/season out.
Now you may disagree but my stance has always been that the supporters are always and always should be the first ones to the table. Period.
Owners, players and media come and fucking go.
Supporters are what makes any club.
Many of you know why I don't go to the games at BMO.
I miss it.
But I am not about to let some greedy fucking corporate fucks, ruin this game that I love.
Trust me.
The shitshow will continue until MLSE is put in the fucking cornfield.
Now I must get back to work on that cedar crucifix I plan to be nailed to
KD.
