    Will start it off with what I think might be a big story here.


    Impact / Club Foot security for travelling TFC fans is notorious for being lax and inadequate.

    I suspect after last night that there will be attempted reprisals for the TFC fan attacks on IMFC fans.


    Before this game, TFC & IMFC should make a joint statement about crowd behaviour expectations.

    If we lose this one, do we all agree Bradley fired at the final whistle and he can find his own way back from Montreal?

    I just see another listless game..and loss unfortunately. The team has given up and tuned Bradley out.

    All I know is that if the song on the match thread for the Wednesday match vs. NYRB isn't Toxicity by System of a Down then I'm not sure what we're doing here.

    Probably, just got my ticket refunded. Have to think of something else to do now.

    Understandable given circumstances.

    I think TFC fans should be banned from viewing this game on television as well. For lots of compelling health reasons.

    I'm not planning on watching. Going to dip out for a few games. Between the NER game, last night and the leafs probably getting swept tonight it ain't good for my mental health!

    But I'm happy they are playing Montreal again. If they can't get fired up and want revenge there is no hope for this season.

    Between what we saw on Tuesday + injuries, this feels like it could be an absolute slaughter. There’s basically nothing left at CB or CM to provide cover which makes it tricky in the best of times. Add in this team is sinking like a rock and it looks bleak.

    I have no idea whose going to play Saturday. We have 3 CBs out and now all our midfield except MAK and Servania.

    I think we need to switch formation for sure, 4-3-3 will leave us too exposed.

    4-4-2. Drop one of Insigne or Berna to midfield. Maybe Petretta goes left mid and Franklin stays left back?

    Sapong and Insigne up top.

    Petretta - MAK - Servania - Berna in mid.

    Guessing we'll see

    Johnson
    Laryea-Mbika-Pearlman-Franklin
    Servania-Kaye-JMR
    Bernie-Sapong-Insigne

    +no substitutions until the 85th per Bob's usual.

    Nah, I remember seasons where the only hope for weeks on end was less then 3 goals against and maybe scoring one.

    All you and others are always remembering are really 'good times' sir. TFC was never as bad or bleak as early 80's Blizzard.

    Challenge!

    I loved Ace Not So Long Ago more than most current TFC players.

    (OK 98% of you will not get this one.)

    If it is who I think it is, believe he was African; maybe South? Last name escapes me. Anyways, raise you a Roberto and a Sam.

    Ace and Jomo Sono, both South African, were both terrific on that team.

    Having had a supporter ticket that was canceled and refunded yesterday, it is now much cheaper to just go. TFC away tickets were $59 in 112 where in the lower half of the section it is currently $39. There are lots of very good deals for tix on Stubhub. For someone who just wants to enjoy the match and support the 11 men on the pitch I am looking forward to it.

    Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

    OMG! Those names! Wow, just triggered a memory/image. My father… me turning to him watching… ‘No-No Sono!’.

    A stroll down NASL memory lane! Let’s Go To The Ex! A carpet on cement, keystone copish accompanying music, ground passes eventually bouncing to the cracks of the floor, physical/chippy play…

    I would think so, supposedly…‘It takes up to three months after surgery for most people to function normally. For high-level and recreational athletes, your orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist will create a “return to sport” protocol that takes three to six months and prepares you to get back to training and competition’.

    IIUC, BB has recently apologized on record at least twice now for not having his players prepared and/or getting match tactics wrong. I just hope he realizes sooner rather than later, using the words of Tab Ramos, that 'Sometimes you can talk too much. You can have all the systems you want but you depend on your players, you have to adjust whatever your system is to the players you have. So, it’s not so much about you and your system, it’s about the players and how you can get the most out of them.'
