THE STARTING 11: Things overheard during the BMO Field protests

The South Stand just seemed different on Saturday

In its best days… oh sometime back in 2007, you could barely hear yourself think at BMO Field. The songs, the chants, hilarious off-colour comments... even “The Dichio Song” was loud, proud and fun. Then something happened. That of course would be 2008, 2009 and 2010 - as presented by ML$E. Through an idiotic strategy of killing the proverbial golden goose, the ownership reduced the TFC crowd to something akin to a slightly noisy library this past Saturday. The silence was deafening and rather sad. It did however give those in attendance the opportunity to hear snippets of odd conversation usually missed in the former fortress...
　
11. "You can really hear those cash registers can't you?"
　
10. "Columbus' 'keeper has more goals than Mista"
　
9. "I can't take another Christmas without the Trillium Cup!"
　
8. "It sounds like the Blue Jays in here"
　
7. "I heard that the first 500 fans got an inflatable apology letter"
　
6. "Can you hear us sing? Nooo, nooo! Can you here us sing? We can't hear a f*****g thing! Nooo, nooo, nooooooo!"
　
5. "You'll have a 50/50 chance of winning the 50/50 Draw at the next match"
　
4. "Hscanovics has few vowels... and less talent"
　
3. "They made me buy MLS Cup tickets before selling me this beer!"
　
2. "There's a Town Hall Meeting in the men's washroom!"
　
1. "Hey Anselmi - renew these!"
