Opinion of a Montreal Impact Ultra fan

[Tintin]

I don't want to stir the pot but I think it's good to know what others thing of TFC, the stadium and the fans in Toronto.

On their forum, a poster asked to give your honest opinion about TFC, the stadium and the fans. One poster replied (I will translate):

Le stade est très bien.

Stadium is very good


Les supporters, visuellement, pas trop mal, du rouge partout, plusieurs drapeaux, de belles bannières de groupe, mais ils avaient rien préparé comme tifo même si c'était d'après eux le match le plus important de l'histoire du TFC. Vocalement, pas terrible. Deux ou trois chants qui ont bien claqué, mais pas plus.

Visually, the supporters are not too bad. Red everywhere, lots of flags, nice banners but they had nothing organised even if according to them it was the most important game in TFC history. Not that good vocally. Two or three good songs but nothing more.

Le staff du BMO Field est très pro; ils étaient bien préparé à l'arrivée d'un groupe de supporters adverses, c'était du sérieux.

The BMO staff is very professional. They were prepared for the arrival of supporters from the away team. It was very serious.


It's interesting to see that they he likes the BMO staff and that he is not really impress with the supporters. Now, I know that it's is one opinion (biased probably) but let's react in a constructive manner and objectively to this. Let's not have comments like I hate the Impact, he is a French idiot and so on.

I want to know if you think that some of those comments reflect reality and if not why?

[jayeden]

[Tintin]

I knew this woul not work!!!!

[Cambridge_Red]

He is a french idiot. (Just kiddin Frenchy TFC supporters)

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

ONe Bus they could'nt fill one bus!!....


who's organized?

[Zizi Booba]

has anyone said: He's a French idiot yet?

[BC101]

LOL well thanks for telling I was interested in what they thought actually.

[werewolf]

he must think its easy to be organized, probably not much of a problem for them and their 20 supporters at home.

[tfcleeds]

Tic Tac Tabernac! (you know the rest...)

[noochie]

thats funny I coulda sworn I have never heard them sing anything before... wait a minute... they have a website??!!??

[colman1860]

Id tend to agree. There was no tifo to speak of, and we were not very organized vocally (better than usually, but still nothing great).

[Tintin]

I guess you guys did not see the part that said constructive answers...

Anyway, I knew better!

I agree, that it's funny that he juges TFC fans and they only came with one bus!!!! Maybe I should reply on their board.

[dupont]

don't forget that they were sitting on the opposite side of the stadium from the south end. I'm sure they would have been more impressed on the other side.
I'm thinking they must have been amazed to see so many fans in a Canadian stadium even if they hate admitting it. It must really give them hope that an MLS team can come to montreal. I hope they get a team. I would love to hate them more often.

[JonO]

Too be honest - where they sat they can hear the Southest corner, the Southwest corner (they were quite vocal on Tuesday) and the NEE. This may give the impression that it wasn't "organized" as you can hear different chants going on at once from each section...

[RealG-TFC]

did they do this on a garbage bag!?!?!?!?!

[Parkdale]

if you want to really see a shit storm of opinions, check the comments on the youtube video from the game. They are going off on all types of stupid shit.

[Cambridge_Red]

Think Im going to have some freedom fries for lunch

[BBBulldog]

If Montreal was in MLS and playing Lynx several years ago, how many would have gone up for away? 15 U-Sector guys?

[BC101]

did they do this on a garbage bag!?!?!?!?!

LOL! Best Banner ever LOL!

[RealG-TFC]

@Parkdale: ^^ damn, now you made me want to look at these and I feel it's going to piss me off.

[tfc88]

No tifo... that jersey covering all of 127 before the game didn't count???

[Tintin]

Think Im going to have some freedom fries for lunch

Ok, that is funny!!!

[Cambridge_Red]

hahahaha look at the one woman?? pointing her finger. It's called a comb you babarian.

[koryo]

Tintin,

Asking this group why the large majority of the BMO crowd doesn't sing is a bit like me asking your province why the rest of the country, by-and-large, doesn't speak French.

The vast majority of the posters on this board are the ones who are vocal, but stadium-wide we're a minority and don't understand why the rest don't get off their arses either.

[Tintin]

My province? What do you mean?

Really eh? considering for them a TIFO is just a semicircle flag that's being held up by like 6 guys.

[Cambridge_Red]

LOL is that french for wankers??

[nobodybeatsthewiz]

My province? What do you mean?
