Seba was pissed because he was subbed off. You don't sub off a player who scored 2 goals with just 7 minutes left. Idiotic move from vanney, but then again, this is vanney and nothing suprise's me anymore from him.

Apparently Perquis was upset with the media in the post-game scrum and had a go at Larson.

" 'Don’t look at me like that. You’re not my family,' Perquis said repeatedly to Larson, who was standing across the room."
Hamilton Red called it correctly before Vanney did it. The refs weren't protecting Seba, Colorado were being very physical with him, the pitch was slippery, and the game was already won. Vanney made the right call. Sure Seba wants to play, but he's playing a lot more than he did in Italy and no one needs to lose a key asset. I'm sure he'll be fine with it afterwards.
My thoughts about the game:
1. The crowd was very subdued, but those RPB in 111/112 brought it all game, rain or shine.
2. 4-4-2 flat, or our earlier diamond are the best formations in most situations.
3. Seba is fantastic. One of the best players in the league, maybe the best. Give him service and he shines.
4. Our defense does incredibly stupid things like pass in front of our net, or get caught on the wrong side of a player. Is that Vanney's fault or just really poor players? I was coaching this stuff out of youth players when I coached, are these players so bad yhat they don't know defending 101? It's hard to think its Vanney's fault, by thr time you are a pro you should not do these things.
5. We are now out of the race for the wooden spoon.t

I believe Seba boiled over after the play at the height of the rainstorm, where he got cut down right on the run by the last man, a straight red, and the guy only got yellow.
I think he was also mad about being subbed off. Why, I am not sure.
I agree with those he think he should not have been playing in that rain, that was a hamstring injury waiting to happen.

He should've been subbed off much earlier, IMO. As others have said, no need to risk an injury when we're up 3-1.
Delgado as FB against a good team isn't going to cut it.
Great game by Giovinco.
Any reason we had that banner in our section?
I'm all for the message of refugees welcome but plugging a website with a political message like that one should be a group decision no?
Not a big deal but in the future it's something to consider.
I can breathe a sigh of relief after that game. TFC was the better team the first half, but then the heavens opened so I don't take much from the second half. Playing in sheeting rain is pretty miserable. One step closer to the playoffs...
Throughout the week, we were contacted by various season seat holders whom had complained to their ticket reps about the ban. We were told that the ticket reps claimed the ban was a mistake and the club had reversed its decision. We contacted someone higher up at TFC whom confirmed the decision. http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/...ronto-fc-games
We unfurled in our section once again and was kindly invited by a couple RPB members to bring the banner over to 112. Everyone was very supportive and if people opposed, we were more than willing to mediate or even return to our section but no one appeared to do so. Thanks for the support everyone!

3 points and we deserved to win.
Meh...haters on Altidore are going to hate. Guy is a load and makes any header towards him winnable (which is something we have not had since Dichio). He's scored goals and made goals and runs channels and works his ass off. That some think he's lazy is...lazy. Guy works hard and gets beat up all the time to create spaces that others can exploit. Its like watching Gilberto, only Jozy is in shape, actually scores, gets the ball offf of headers, goes where he needs to go towards, and can lay off sweet sweet passes (I counted 5 in the first half).
Colarado is poor and were out of that game until the weather made going forward in the second half almost impossible. That was dreadful and if you were not there you just don't understand the conditions.
Their one defender should have had a DOGSO foul and instead the foul went on Giovinco. Then after that, another probable DOGSO foul only gets a yellow. No wonder Seba was pissed.
Roll on next week.

Good result and much needed break in the recent trend. The 10 minutes before half time after their goal were hairy - looked like we were about to collapse at the back. Half time break was good and steadied the ship. It could have easily been 3-2 going in to half time and then the 2nd half would have been different. Doesn't sem to be good chemistry ... Perquis goal celebration he grabbed Gio by neck/face and pushed him away - was weird to me. Bradley is better playing deeper and with some defensive duties - he needs to keep playing there. But how a player of that calibre can go on long solo dribble so often and lose the ball with out passing is beyond me.

Gotta call BS on that. Total and utter BS. I was there, and we were totally dominant. Took our foot of the gas, but in the same way us doing well after we are down 2-0 doesn't suggest we are good, anything after 3-0 up is virtually irrelevant. Colorado barely had a touch until Konopka got too aggressive on that corner.
There's actually more people on here tonight than where that the game. ....
The game is 90 minutes long, and the second half was dominated by Colorado, but they were lousy finishers. Without Giovinco, this could have easily been a 0-1 defeat. And, you forget the several good chances in the last ten minutes of the first half by Colorado. It was certainly an even contest, except for Giovinco. And, that is a good thing. I think most supporters will agree that without him, we would as bad as last season.
You are right on.....without Seba no chance they make the playoffs.....win, lose or draw they need to make multiple changes
