Consecutive games of tfc games decided by referees. Makes it hard to follow.

Probably the happiest I've ever been after a loss. We played well, didn't go our way tonight but encouraging for the rest of the year.
17 hour drive back to T.O.
too bad the standings don't reflect thatOriginally Posted by portu
When evaluating Vanney remember how the refs miscalls impacted our record according to MLS we're 1-1-1 but in reality we should be 2-1-0. So in my mind Vanney is 1 point from making this road trip a success
I thought it was a good game. Altidore, Johnson, Bradley played well as on-field leaders. Babouli showed flashes of greatness to come and a little overambitiousness. Endoh has some learning to do, but can't be faulted for his work rate and effort.
It was SKC at their home on our third away game with a completely re-vamped back end to the team. There's a lot to be pleased about. We could have nicked a point, but we didn't but not for lack of effort or competence. This is a good sign for where we can go and there's a lot of positives to take away.
Yup. Babouli is a handful too. Guy has to pass better though.
At the end we were playing a 3-4-3 weighted heavily to the left. Wouldn't work for all the game.
Yes. And, Perquis.
Agree fully. I'm feeling good after this one, even if it could have been a win, too.
Brad Davis, POS!
Balermo Toledo, POS!
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Team played shit in last ten minutes. No chemistry. No teamwork. Poor passing. No composure. The rookies were too anxious. They needed to settle down, and plan their attack, instead of the individual play.
Perquis had a standout performance today, our best player on the field
Entertaining game. They didn't quit and if it weren't for the non call and some misses, it'd have been a win.
Fair non-call. As a defender, when you go to ground like a sissy you depend on the ref giving you the benefit of the doubt. If it doesn't come then you only have yourself to blame. It probably was a modern day foul but maybe next time Morrow will actually try to compete. He could have easily stayed on his feet and cleared that ball. I thought Toledo was spot on today, minus that red card. It's a physical league and he, for the most part, let it be so.
Saw some things I liked today, some things I didn't but such is the nature of early season road trips. They kept it real close against a very good team so I'm content with the way things unfolded.

C'mon? Really? We're going to blame the loss on Toledo? It was a call that, only when slowed down looked clear. It was a questionable call, but not a horrific one (unless you have replay). If we're so fragile that a call like that is the difference between success and failure the answer is: we're a failure. I don't buy it.
Those calls will come and we'll get a few too. We've had far worse -- and from Toledo, too -- but that wasn't one of the bad ones. It was incorrect, but just barely.
Looking forward to seeing these rookies play smarter. US commentators talked about Giovinco saying Babouli will become a top player.
Thats all you can say about the game? No comments in the entire thread, the team plays very well at a tough venue and only loses because of typical shit MLS referring, and your only post is negative? Come on.
A foul is a foul is a foul
Let's just move on. Despite some people's poo coloured glasses this was definitely a performance worth noting.
If we plays this well on our remaining road games points will follow.
cant agree with that. It was a typical professional foul from a deliberate cheater that a referee has to call. And in full speed a referee has to see it because as soon the arm is bent its gonna be a foul. Sorry, but can't accept you apologies for the ref. Easy call, basic rule. Not rugby.
you're a troll at best - zero comments throughout the game...and then this? give me a break.
We played very well, disciplined, organized, and occasionally creative. Deserved better. Very good performance, very encouraged about this team.
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
When Toledo is the referee, they should save us all the trouble and just have him out there on the pitch flipping coins and rubbing beautiful girls bare asses and eventually letting us know who won the game.
No play on the field necessary!
This is so far from the reality of modern football.
SKC played super cautious. Vermes made it a priority to shut down service to Giovinco. TFC did much the same to Dwyer. Irwin is definitely an upgrade.
Colorado up next. They've had a bright start but I'd expect a big win. TFC showed they almost could grind out a draw to a very good team. Let's see if they can get a dominant win over a middling team.
Babouli needs to stop being a show pony but other than that he had an excellent debut. I see him developing into an excellent player, id rather see him on the pitch than osorio from a creative standpoint.
Disputed referee calls with replays would help also.
Cost us two points on this road trip so far on my count.
You're right, fouls aren't really fouls
And?
Babouli looks promising, Giovinco didn't play his best according to his standards, Toledo lost the game after douchebag Davis played on the Cheyrou injury.
Should've been a 1-1 game, entertaining game, can't wait for the next one.
