In all the years I have been watching MLS . I have seen players like Donavan, Beckham , Dempsey get the calls yet I am seeing Gio and Altidore get Hacked and nothing gets called . Starting to piss me off . Like I aid in my prevouis post Hopefully Vanney uses this as motivation for his team
The other way to set up against Columbus is to attack their weaknesses, instead of defending against their strengths. So attack the defence:
Ricketts
Edwards - Vasquez - Bradley - Osorio- Delgado - Hasler
Hagglund - Moor - Zavaleta
or
Ricketts
Edwards - Vasquez - Bradley - Hasler
Morrow - Mavinga - Moor - Zavaleta - Beitashour
risky, but the pace of Edwards and Ricketts with the crossing of Hasler and Vasquez would be awesome
Only 12 or 13 seats left in 207 now. Hop on board while you can, the Red Army is coming!!!
Just bought 5 in section 207. Buddy of mine is going with 6 more. So TFC fans should have 4 sections to ourselves.
The same point was raised during last years Conference finals in the 2nd leg. I think it was Cooper was running for a ball in the box, Bush came out and initiated contact but because Cooper stayed on his feet and tried to finish the chance it was ruled no penalty. Even the commentators (the American ones not Wileman and Caldwell) said it should have been a penalty regardless whether the player goes down or not. A foul is a foul. The lack of consistency by all officials is very annoying.
I would like to see them at least trial this. It was mentioned somewhere else on this forum (I cannot recall which post or who brought it up) but you would have 1 official responsible for each half. That way both teams each have both officials in their respective attacking and defending ends. Why with how the game has evolved, they would want to put that much responsibility on 3 officials is beyond me.
I am with you there. We MUST get out of the first 15 minutes. They will be coming out swinging I believe. We need to weather the storm and pick our spots. If we can get an early goal to suck the crowd out of it even better. If we he 15-20 minutes still tied or ahead, we will be coming home with a very positive result.
Bought 3 in 207. It's Niagara boys making all that noise!!! Does anyone know if we have to register banners with the Crew to put them up? Also, where is everyone meeting up pre-match?

For anyone staying downtown the Three Legged Mare is a good option for a pre-match meetup.
Just curious - How much were tickets for the CBus game?
Just trying to compare it to our ticket prices
I'm sorry this is bullshit.... All players dive this narrative that only Italians dive is incredibly biased and BS. American players dive, English players dive, Spanish players dive, Central and South Americans players dive etc...
At the end of the day the ref has to call the games by rules if they can't because of inherent biases or just plain incompetence they should not be there.
Has anyone here booked with TFC on the road before? Was looking into booking with them for transportation but just wanted to make sure they were okay
Well that and our side lost the battle of Lake Erie....
Ya if we were playing say Detroit or even DC a war of 1812 reference might be right.. but for Columbus? not really.
Toronto's participation in the war of course was basically... getting blown up. Not really something one should want to brag about.. particularly when the stadium is very near the landing point the Americans used at the Battle of Fort York. (just a few hundred meters off shore)
^^ I wasn't thinking of referencing specifically Columbus in such a banner, I was just thinking about the comment trane made about it being TFC against the rest of the league and how they don't want us to succeed because they really don't want to come here to freeze their nuts off in December again. Remember the angst in the media south of the border when the Jays brought the World Series trophy out of the US for the first time? I want to see that again...
Speaking of nut freezes, prepare accordingly for C-bus. Cold but dry. "Shirts off for the TFC!" may become "First 3 layers off for the TFC!"

Just booked the hotel! Reds on tour!
Check out this blatant foul on Giovinco from past NYRB game - courtesy of Waking the Red blog site.
The push occurs right in front of Chris Penso and he doesnt even make a call. The numerous dirty fouls on Seba probably led to him blowing a gasket later on. Altidore also was nearby and witnessed this foul. So when Giovinco fouled Tyler Adams later in the game and Adams secretly tried to kick back at Giovinco as they were falling - Altidore went nuts on Adams. Kinda puts things into a bit of perspective from that emotional day.

What the hell is taking DisCo so long? Are they purposely dragging this out or something?
I just realized this games still more than a week away. Great way for MLS to kill any excitement.
