    It's not just this thread, but just the tone of a lot of posts on the forum in general.

    EDIT And why do you bring up Frings? Nobody in the whole thread has suggested that Frings should be MVP. I think most people agree what's up with Frings: relatively old & slow; struggled with a couple of injuries including the chronic hip thing which all affected his play a great deal; passes well & good vision especially when fit; sidelined even more under Mariner's "system."
    I bring up Frings because he's the most technical player on the team, yet arguably Dunfield, a 'hack', contributed just as much to the team as Frings did this year. (and I count Frings' injury proneness as a count against him)

    I'm all for constructive criticism, but the level of venom that goes into essentially a victimization of a player (and there is at least one every year) is frankly shocking. taking it so personally like Dunfield raped and murdered your sister or something
    Dunfield did what? I heard it was a BMO security guard.......sorry! hehe

    I think your the one taking this a little to personal. I never mentioned frings and my statement had less to do with the player and more to do with Toronto fc and its football culture.

    That is how I feel. MVP of what??? An MVP who lead us to what? The worst season ever. The fact that he was named an MVP tells you how shit this team was, and this season was. I do not hate dunfield, but from the remarks from the manager to this, this tells me of pure PR bullshit, and this team is full of pure PR bullshit nothign else, 6 years of pure bullshit. We are the worst team in the MLS, and the worst team in Canada by a long shot. Not naming an MVP would have been the way to go. And if you are going to name an MVP then you name one that acctually helped us get us some of the few meager points that we have, Danny K, the one that had the balls to say it like it is, that this team is utter pure shit.

    Well my friend, I have decided to feed you tonight...

    If I had a nickle for:
    1. every useless attempted slide tackle
    2. every useless, counterproductive back pass
    3. every wimpy, useless 6 foot pass that boosts his stats
    4. every pull down of an opponent after being beat.
    5. every bad, stupid, clumsy foul
    6. every sad, useless free kick
    7. every bad corner kick
    8. Christ, while we are at it, lets not forget the stupid give aways!
    9. did I mention ducking balls headed toward our goal?
    10. how about turning your back on attempts at our goal?

    FROM TERRY DUNFIELD,

    I would be rich enough to afford a pair of prawn seats next season.

    Oh poor, poor Terry Dunfield - such a victim - oh boy - I think I will cry - he has it soooo bad.... being the coaches pet is such a hard gig. We should have a pity party.... Venom? Really? How about, perhaps, just maybe, the folks that are not on the Terry Dunfield band wagon ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAMES AND KNOW A BIT ABOUT SOCCER??? Is that possible???

    You actually think that Terry F. Dunfield is better than Torsten? Really??? Really??? Wow! Unbelievable.

    If someone wants to arrange to give Dunfield MVP for marketing reasons, I can live with that. To rip Frings in order to justify this poofball nomination is quite another! Sad, just sad.

    Next thing you know, you will be saying he is better than DeRo... How about Koevs? Is he better than Koevs? I guess he must be eh? I mean, lets face it - Dunfield did get the award?

    Again, you're full of shit. I'm in dozens of threads on this board right now from the last two weeks. Point to one where I'm having a discussion with someone absent the humility to admit they made a dumb generalization and you might have a point.

    I point it out merely as a matter of fact and because I have ten free seconds. Nothing you say about anything has any significant emotional impact on me; come to think of it, it doesn't have any objective, intellectual impact most of the time either. So don't worry so much; I'm fine.

    You forgot falling over after every tackle and shot.

    Actually Yohan, he didn't say that. He said the people who don't like Dunfield DO know soccer. That doesn't mean by exclusion that those who like Dunfield don't.

    I think anyone who's read your posts over time knows you know soccer.

    I would however point out that a 10% improvement in passing stats from o ne coach to the next doesn't mean much when you still have poorer stats as a starter than pretty much anyone else in the league. Yes, Frings looks past it and had worse numbers; However, it's arguable that much of that was from actually being involved in the game other than as a positional wheel. Frings' had lower passing percentages because he tried to create something, often out of desparation.

    His wheels are gone, but he's still 50 times the footballer Dunfield will ever be.

    I`m going to say that Dunfield was the team MVP, but only because he was set up to be by Mariner.

    Mariner who dismantled this team mid-season and rebuilt it to such a degree that Dunfield stood out.

    Add to that his line-up and substitution decisions, and voila, Thierry Dunfield, MVP.

    And actually you should apologise to Yohan for implying that he knows nothing about soccer.




    The man has forgotten more about soccer then you will ever understand.


    First of all officer nitwit! I knew his statement was a joke, and I was joking aswell.


    Secondly I will not be apologizing to anybody that I have`nt insulted their family or religious beliefs, If anybody needs to apologize its Yohan(but thats not necessary,really!.).


    And my football(not soccer) pedigree is pretty high with 3 family members that have suited up for the Nats and an inner circle containing a uefaA. but this is not a pissing contest.


    Like I said in the other Thread! Some of you take this stuff to seriously.

    Awarding Terry is liking saying he's the thinnest kid in fat camp and to be honest, I can't think of another player that deserved it given the crappy players that Mariner played. The bar was that low this season.

    I don't have much to say about this thread,
    I think the MVP of TFC this year were the Die-Hard Supporters whom suffered through a disaster of a year,
    but kept on Supporting and didn't jump off of the bus when things went south.

    Perhaps we shouldn't be so critical of others opinions, and not take it so personal.
