THE MATCHUP: United we stand, divided something, something...

"Best egg layer of the modern era. Promise."



TORONTO VS. D.C. UNITED
　
BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 1PM ET
TV: TSN ----RADIO: THE FAN 590
　
THE KICKABOUT:
Genuine kudos to anyone willing to protest and/or demonstrate at BMO Field on Saturday. Hell, kudos to anyone who will be bothered to show up. MLSE does not deserve any of you. There is never anything wrong in telling a soulless, greedy and dim-witted ownership that sees you as a number that "you've had enough" - this site probably wouldn't be here otherwise. The only question that will remain is: "what are you willing to do when they don't listen to you?" And make no mistake fellow supporters... they will not listen.
　
Early reports are emerging that the pie-in-the-sky dream that MLSE would significantly lower TFC ticket prices are already dashed. Of course, in their devious manner, the ownership will wait until the dead quiet of November to sneak in your 2013 renewal plan, likely with an insulting "bonus" (money off concessions and merchandise etc.) as an incentive. It will not be enough. It has put our hearts in our throats recently to hear so many "Day One" season ticket holders tell us point blank that they are not returning. They see the writing on the wall. They see ZERO actual plans in place to turn this club's fortunes around. Most of all, they, like us, have seen less than zero that the ownership/ management take them or the death throes of this once "slightly proud" club seriously.
　
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME:
"The Final Throes of the Golden Goose"
　
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
TORONTO: Ryan Johnson, Darren O'Dea, Luis Silva
D.C. UNITED: Branko Boskovic, Andy Najar, Chris Pontius
　
THE ODDS:
Upon seeing fan protests, MLSE executives will feel...
- Panicked: 10,000 - 1
- Amused: 1,000 - 1
- Wealthy and in the mood for more sushi: EVENS
　
WHO ARE YA?
Paul Mariner won't like it but really, this is "Who We Are" now after six long years of re-runs...

POST-MATCH HEADLINE: "PRIDE TO BE RESTORED TO TFC IN NEXT 5 YEARS. PROMISE."

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!"

AFTER 90: The sound of (almost) silence

Maybe all the cheering distracted them until now?

TORONTO FC 2 - COLUMBUS CREW 2

As part of the supporter's tapestry which makes up BMO Field's atmosphere, The Yorkies decided to give respect to all of the groups and individuals who tried valiantly (most of the time) to protest silently today against ML$E. This episode of "After 90" will reflect that protest and be silent as well. Mostly...
