Caught a break on that non PK/FK call too.
If stating of fact means smugness to you, so be it. You said the following a few posts back:
"half an hour in and there isnt even a match thread, discussing the game taking place in Colorado. Its not like were all at the match is it?
This is the shape of things to come.
Night all."
Shouldn't you be going now?
the whole issue is why mlse decided to allot so many games to a specialty channel with quite limited access when the team "brand" is clearly declining and still needs to grow.
if even the supporters are reluctant to pay more on top of extortionate ticket prices to watch a shitty product, what do you think the casual fans are thinking?
Out of sight out of mind.
Part of the rise of TFC over the last couple years was because people would catch a game on a saturday afternoon on CBC and get interested in the entire atmosphere at the game they'd see. Spark enough interest and people would head on down to the game.
Now look at whats changed:
1) No games on "free" tv
2) Most games are now in the evening and competing with other sports - baseball, hockey playoffs, bball playoffs, etc
3) Atmosphere at games are being "modified" by FO. It's just not the same anymore
Thanks guys.
Anybody can start a thread. Even a match thread. Especially people who complain about it.
That's all I'll say about that.
The increasing levels of hostility in these forums over the past 8 months is pretty depressing
Toronto with 35% possession

well that's exactly what's puzzling me. what's their motivation for putting all these games on gol? TFC isn't exactly a hot brand in toronto right now, tickets aren't selling, bmo is never full.... but they remedy this by... restricting viewers? doesn't make much sense. besides, i'm not a huge bundesliga or la liga fan, and outside of these two + TFC, i don't find anything else of interest on GOL... so TFC does not justify the additional monthly fee i have to pay in addition to crazy ticket prices at BMO. highly doubt i'm of the minority in thinking this either.
Actually, I decided to hang around a bit. Im glad you have a problem with that. We can have lots of problems if you want.
you werent just stating fact, you were being derisory because some people are disappointed that as the credibility of this team has fallen so too has the media interest and the coverage.
your opinion is 'whats the problem. just pay the money.' as if were electing not to pay because were cheap or freeloading types...that kind of thing
Without saying anything about you, its a snobby, smug, twatty opinion at that which disregards the base of the complaint, which is that the quality of this branded, media product has failed to improve over four years and dropped the ball with regards to generating a larger fanbase
