Are we on track?

[Technorgasm]

I think last night was a poor display, and grabbing a desperate point from a superior team suffering from a bad case of Cunningham-Barrettitis, is hardly an indication that we 'performed'

After sunday, the next leg is going to be brutal.

I hate result hidden polls.

two examples of why I continue to post here. . .
and continue to oput up with all teh freakin Crying that goes on. .

Winning cures all, if we win the next 2 games on the bounce, I think the outlook round here wont be so bleak.

[ensco]

This Poll should be called, "Are we on Crack?".

Bravo!

[JonO]

You mean like this:

Oh snap, I forgot to put a fifth existential option with some sort of Camus quote in there.

Go with Descartes. We aren't on track, we just "are."

[Whoop]

I forgot.

The world is supposed to end on Saturday so it won't matter.

LOL

Giles, I love you man, but this team doesnt deserve the unwavering loyalty, manic optimism, blind faith and belief in magic that goes into supporting our 'bigger team'

Funnily enough, when it turned out that our team might lose the ability to deliver on that kind of support, the fans got downright nasty and reclaimed it, setting the rules for the new owners in the process. Nobody should be derided for doing the same here.

In Torontos case, we offered that kind of support in season one and two, and I feel they pissed on it to be honest, and I still think theyre pissing on it, and It makes me sad.

I suspect many of our players not to give a rats arse about this place, or us. You can tell that some of them are dying to be traded away, our local heroes are dropping like flies and dont seem to put any real stock in the badge. See any crest kisses lately? who among the team right now is a candidate for crest kisser? maybe Plata, but we'll see how his morale holds up.

Our team gives rival fans every excuse to ridicule us, and were on our own, theyre not defending our honour one fucking bit.

So yeah. anyway. thats where im at.

[Roogsy]

Dammit, that's worthy of an Amen right there. Nothing more I can add to that.

Of course.

I drink therefore I am.

It becomes a little funny after four non-playoff years to talk about "short-term pain."

you know those four years i had very little gamedays where i did not have a good time. so yeah it sucks that the results have been shit, but i seem to have a good time anyway. maybe thats why im not as bothered by it as others.

I doubt JDG gets re-signed with DP money. So he'll probably head back to europe, which is fine by me since his play has been abysmal.

He was brought in to help with our possession game, yet the other team always has better possession statistics. And what he does with possession is brutal. He and Cann were give-away machines last night.

Did you bother to watch the game???? I would say he was the strongest player out there........ why all the JDG hate??????

[swan]

JDG has done much better this year then previous but still not worth his pay in my eyes..

[jloome]

Human nature being what it is, I suspect the poll will show people think Winter still deserves more of a chance.

[trane]

^ What is your view? I missed it.

de gusman had 1 off his best games for tfc last night held mid together when chani went off

[king dave]

We're on track, I'm just not sure at which station we'll end up.

Mr. Dangerfield couldn't have said it better Jack!

Damn, I'm going to a cottage this weekend...

[Blazer]

Depends on what you mean by “on track”? 2 wins in 11 games would suggest a complete fucking train wreck.

However, if you mean “are we on track” with yet another abysmal season? I would say absolutely we’re on track.

Hey Roogsy:

Bill Simmons approved this post ^^^


When are the results becoming public?

[Batman]

wheres the I'm concerned option... the choices are the 2 extremes... something in the middle would have been valauble, and I bet a lot of people would fall in there.

We all need a vacation in Zihuatanejo Mexico.

1. don't like hidden polls.

2. until there's an ownership change TFC is going to be like all the other MLSE products.

I don't know at what point last night anything that JDG did for even a few moments that would justify anyone saying anything good about him. Just check that 'game in six'. Watch him jogging over the halfway line as Vancouver are about to score. Watch the move immediately after it where he again is jogging like he is off round the corner to pick up the newspaper. This is a guy we pay a stupid amount of money for. He is a journeyman middle of the road player. We would be equally bad without him but we could use that money for someone who actually makes a difference.

Watch him jogging over the halfway line as Vancouver are about to score.

i was fucking enraged by that, and everyone else should be too

shalrie joseph makes him look like a punk week in and week out, for like an eighth of the cost, and he's high as fuck all the time to boot

[123 elite]

to be fair to JDG that was a replay of the goal i watched. Too busy fuming to notice.

[DichioTFC]

From what I can recall, JDG had just sprinted up and down the field twice prior to the goal. I remember watching him jog prior to the goal but I couldn't blame him because of the effort he had shown just prior to the goal.

There are many reasons to vilify JDG, but for me, that goal wasn't one of them.

[Detroit_TFC]

Dear Mr. Mariner, please go get Humberto Suazo. That is all, thank you kindly.

Thank you.

I really don't see what he brings to this team. Can't pass, can't shoot, can't tackle, not strong on th ball, can't head the ball, other than that, i guess he's pretty good.

I just read this article in the Globe and Mail about the Thrashers pending move to Winnipeg. I've put in brackets what word can be replaced to summarize our woes:

"They’ve had 11 (5) seasons, three(8) more (less) than the Flames (Blizzard) did. They set up shop in a new arena and rode a wave of good will. They capitalized on none of it. If/when they leave, it won’t be because Atlanta (Toronto) failed the Thrashers (TFC). It will be because the Thrashers (TFC) failed Atlanta (Toronto)." And they did so spectacularly, to the point that there's now plenty of blame to go around.
But the biggest heaping should be reserved for both the Atlanta Spirit (MLSE), one of the more inept ownership groups in a league with a long history of them, and the NHL (MLS), for allowing this group to steer the Thrashers (TFC) into the ground almost from Day 1.
Under the circumstances, it's amazing they had as many fans as they did.
