Have at It People
After that missive from the Stinky Cheese Man, this is going to be an intense nasty game.
I have a feeling that the thugs will be out on Wednesday, I can see a few red cards
Who cares about Saputo's dumb letter?
We will paste them, same as we are pasting everyone.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”

This:
I'm concerned about player injuries. Montreal's players will be desperate.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
^If Montreal does that, watch out... they are still playing for something, we aren't. We can afford a suspension, they can't. (I actually kind of want to see Bradley sent off for trying to choke somebody in the fifth minute. He won't sit any other way!)
Also as a for instance, I think Fisher had better have his head on a swivel out there, if his teammates start gooning it up.
Who is the ref Wednesday night?

PRO hasn't released it yet. This is where we can check:

If we suspect they'll come to us hard and nasty we ought to use that to our advantage. We should dribble in and around the box, and bait them into making dumb tackles for a penalty or free-kick.
This is my big worry too, I feel like there have been more reckless challenges on our players over the past few games, given the level we're playing at.
Our skill level is just too high and its becoming increasing evident that most MLS'ers dont have the required skill to handle us, and have to resort to brutish play.
You know I never thought I'd say this, but this is one game when I hope we get Toledo. Players usually know better than to start something when he's reffing.
I was thinking that we can use some of our players that are sitting on 4 yellows to anatgonise them... Get a 5th yellow and clear the records before the final game against Montreal
That game will be goon esque and make this one look like a walk in the park.
Do these suspensions for accumulation - or, rather, do the accumulated yellows - carry into the playoffs?
I can't wait to be back at BMO for the first time in a few years for this match! I've brought my family to a couple tfc games at bc place, but this will be their first time at BMO. They are super stoked.
Welcome back!
I hope whoever the ref is that they set the tone of the game early. Early cards if needed. Lot to ask but with VAR hopefully if MLT are trying to take out our players it will be caught early.
Vanney just confirmed Altidore is out for tomorrow, Seba is questionable.
Montreal is still in a battle for a playoff spot. They've been out of form recently but there's nothing like a derby win to build morale and confidence. I expect an open, fast paced game with Montreal gunning for 3 points. The second Montreal game will be the potential shite show if Limpact can't start stringing points together.
This game still has something on the line. Oct 15th may not
That's not good.
Or he could be managing minutes between the Montreal & NE game. Seba part of the game tomorrow home vs. Montreal; Altidore part of the game Saturday; travelling to NE to play on the turf.
GV said Seba is set to have a scan today on the quad to determine his status.
Also VV might have a touch of the flu? Heard it on the Sportscentre report... Not sure if I heard it correctly.
Molinaro has the answer

Victor Vazquez didn’t train on Tuesday due to a slight fever, but Vanney hinted that the Spanish playmaker should be available to play against Montreal.
“We feel good about where he’ll be,” Vanney offered.
That is very bad news.
Plus I have a feeling that in the best case possible we'll se no more than 30 minutes from Seba.
Then in Boston none of them will play for sure, it is nonsense to play there on that bad pitch.
So we are looking to 2 more games without our best forwards by far, making it 3 in row.
In these conditions TFC is very much overdue to have at least one game from these 2 in which will find very hard to score.

New England's turf was replaced last year - it's not the bad turn of old. That being said - team is in dissaray and have fired the coach. Should still be a win with the second string strikeforce.
They replaced the NER turf a week ago.

You're such a worry-wart,
Anyways....its GAME DAY!!!!!
We can score goals. Ricketts should have had four Saturday. Hamilton also has a great strike rate. I hope he gets in.
Vanney's problem right now is so high quality it's ridiculous. The subs could all play and do well, but that doesn't solve for what the team needs, which is to keep the rhythm going, and to get subs used to playing with the starters, because that's how he'll need them.
Ricketts and Hamilton developing chemistry with each other in September is useless in November. I hope Seba can give some minutes so that each can play with him.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
You say that now, but if Seba gets injured like he was during the playoff run, we're going to be needing that chemistry. Same with Jozy. the fact that both of them are currently sitting with minor injuries means that they aren't invincible and having options is always a good thing.
Plus I think we get the only need 2 more wins to get all the records... Is it really worth rolling the dice for more than that?
