no way that was a red card...he got up right after. No injury and it was half a foot below his face.
Great.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Ten man karma coming...
What the fuck
Lack of focus in final 3rd may be costly, especially now down to ten men.
We're pulling a San Jose.
Is clearing the ball really that difficult??? We win the ball back only to tap it back to Orlando about 5 times the last 5 min
This game has been so annoying.

If Altidore wanted that goal he should have been there, he looks gassed as hell..
We need Giovinco back way more badly than I thought we would.
yeah, Chapman would help a lot too.
Still control our own fate but feel as though two points were lost here. Saying that, it was still a decent performance overall, some wasted chances not withstanding.
Well I'll consider myself lucky I just caught the last 3 minutes of that one 😳
well, there goes the Supporter's Shield.
slowly losing the momentum that MLS teams need in order to make a deep run in the playoffs.
TFC played gassed out by mid 2nd half. didn't help that Ricketts red had them chasing a lot.
and facing DCU that just spanked Columbus 3-0.
Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: A pretty move, for the love of God.
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

A really disappointing performance from the Reds tonight. Our passing was woeful all night and I cant recall a single occasion when we took on an Orlando player one on one and beat them. Altidore and Delgado were just brutal tonight.
What promised to be really promising home stand has been something of a nightmare as we have frittered away points, draw after draw. We probably kissed goodbye to the SS tonight, and most likely will need to win our remaining three games (including a tough visit to Montreal) to finish top of the East. What seems more likely going on recent form is that we''ll finish third.
At one point in the second half of the season I dared dream we just might have a shot at the cup. The ways things have been going we'll be lucky to win a playoff game
Not good enough. Better than against Philly but the finishing on this team is crud.
I don't get it, we had the advantage of being down to 10 players and we didn't win? Am I missing some the ing here ??
This was tough to watch. Speaking personally, this late swoon has taken all the joy out of TFC being top of the conf. At this point, the goal is to get the first round bye. 4 pts of remaining 9 might do it (6 would all but guarantee it) but hard to count on anything on this form.
This is shaping up too be a typical TFC style collapse. Not winning a game at home since August 6th. BMO despite the fans best efforts has never been a fortress - opposition team always come here with an expectation of a result. After a glimpse of Altidore's form we are back to showing that we are a one man team.
Not making any improvement or adjustments. Bradley has been shite at dead-balls all season - yet Vanney let's him take every single one that's not a shot. Cooper & Rickets looked pretty ineffective tonight. Bono rode his luck. We could have had a strong run in to the finale - now we are heaping pressure on ourselves and we all know what TFC's like when it really matters.
To be fair, I think we were on our way to scoring when we got that red card...took out the momentum and we had to semi-park the bus to handle their offense.
We're doing alright even without Seba, but with a big chunk of our salary back in the lineup next weekend we need to get some 3 point results.
As far as I can tell from the replays, there was no contact on Rickett's failed bicycle kick. The Orlando player sold it. (The TFC website highlights show it better than what you can see on the MLS website.) Isn't a 2nd yellow for that a bit harsh?
What happened in the 23rd minute? I'm going to check MLS Live for that. I was worried there might be a red card or something like that against TFC, when they took down an Orlando attacker breaking away near the top of the box. (Not sure if it was Larin or Rivas.)
Too bad, TFC did a pretty good job in shutting down the threats from Kaka, Larin, and others. And they started the game with much more urgency than recently. But TFC's finishing in particular sucked donkey balls.
I think I'm going to call this team The Squanderers.
2 seasons in a row now they've done this.
It's more fun to watch than the USL team we had for so long but this is annoying.
And then I saw videos on Twitter of Syrian refugees who sang and danced all game.
Perspective.
And yes I get the reasons for the United protest in the south.
But then I look at those people dancing all game and think.
"Hey south end people - there's a time for everything. And are things really that awful that a bunch of Syrian refugees make you look and sound like pouting soccer moms? "
Yes I know... it's complicated. But geez Louise compare the issues to those still being faced by those refugees and really how onerous is life for the south in comparison?
The way D.C. United are playing, this TFC team will be lucky if they get a tie against DC , a DC looks more likely on Saturday, TFC is pulling it's typical end of season crappy form and I can't see this team getting back to form unfortunately.
Well said Og!
