    I think when folk like @69Chevy396 ; vent on these forums it's not for anyone to question their Supportitude or Loyalosity.

    It's frustration brought about by caring for the team. We're all feeling it.

    Some express it more eloquently than others. There are those who shout down fellow supporters whose opinions differ from their own. Some people just walk away from it quietly.

    Whichever the case, we're all dealing with it in our own way. No-one here is better than anyone else.

    We're all on the same side.

    Well said and I have to agree. People express their frustration in different ways and we all have different tolerance levels, that is what makes the discussion fun. Lets not loose perspective though.

    Easy.

    The opposite of love is indifference, not hate. Give 69chevy a break, most of us understand what he is saying.
    ^^ +1.
    It's that indifference that I worry about. Happens to sports teams on a disturbingly regular basis here in Ottawa and we have had the empty venues to prove it.

    Forlan?? I look forward to watching him play for TFC.

    Remember Monday morning (or Sunday night for some)? When news of Forlan about to sign for TFC put a little wow into the day?

    Ah nostalgia...
    My only wow today was being introduced to two new TFC /English words.........Supportitude or Loyalosity
    Now that I know them, I will be checking with my doctor to see if these are what I have been suffering with for all these years.

    there I was thinking things had changed... screw it, I still think things have changed in the front office and the team will be better soon. It's too nice of a day to be annoyed.

    This guy is fucking clueless!

    I LOVE the team, I am STUPID optimistic and although mathematically possible there would have to be CATASTROPHE at several other Eastern conference teams as in plane crashes and outbreaks of plague for TFC to make the playoffs!
    WE DID IT!

    I caught wind of this to weeks ago, but as we all know there is a long way between wanting a player and getting him. This 'rumour' didn't come out of nowhere and I still think its very much alive.

    Phil's got sources. You don't just reveal that kind of stuff without blowing said sources and, potentially, impacting other biz relationships.

    I have to keep a lid on some of the stuff. I don't want to hurt the club. Also, members area gets some of the gory details

    And over in the members section Phil tells us exactly who fills those roster spots, what formation we're playing and details the transfer names and numbers............

    Not sure anyone picked up on this about Forlan, but Kevin Payne said this in today's media scrum:

    About Forlan: "I don't think its a good policy to talk about deals that are in progress"

    Starts between 30-40 seconds in

    Great questions in the media scrum with Kevin Payne. He was trying to be as diplomatic as possible, but it's tough to not walk away thinking that we're definitely still going after Forlan, but that right now there's still stuff to be ironed out. He also made it quite clear that he's not going to talk openly about any players we're talking to - as it could potentially hurt our chances, but also that it would make Payne & co. look pretty stupid if we failed to sign. I agree with the last part wholeheartedly.

    Let us pray as i still think there is something big coming out of all this. KP is not allowing anything leak as it may cause a ripple with the process.

    This should always, always be club policy.

    The dual Frings / Koeverman's unveiling will remain a highlight for a TFC player acquisition. It wasn't leaked, hyped and killed by pre-mature rumours.
