Welcome to GBS posted:I'm not saying we don't commit fouls. But I Diego has gotten a total of two red cards in his now 6 seasons in MLS. We play the team to the level they want to bring it, but blaming the Timbers for your injury woes is pathetic. Players don't leave Providence in a wheelchair. players get away with reckless challenges because MLS refs are bad so the fact that diego hasn't been properly punished doesn't really prove anything

be nice wicka posted:players get away with reckless challenges because MLS refs are bad so the fact that diego hasn't been properly punished doesn't really prove anything You are all so loving butt hurt it's hilarious. I know refs in MLS are poo poo. But when they gently caress up, it's reviewed, and players get punished when they do stupid poo poo. Chara is cheeky, but he's also clean and like, 5'6" so tell your poo poo overpaid teams to grow a pair. Any more of this 'Timbers are dirty' bullshit will be met exclusively with this shot. Everyone is welcome to bring up evidence of the timbers doing anything half as cold blooded as this.

And I say this as Timbers fan #1 since I own this blanket*.  * it was a gift. An itchy, scratchy, expensive gift that I don't have the heart to return since my dad was so happy to get it for us.

Every Montréal player is an angel and I won't hear otherwise. Also, Joey Saputo met the pope last week: http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/post/2016/04/15/joey-saputo-opens-%E2%80%9Csurreal%E2%80%9D-meeting-pope

Undoubtedly to have the Pope bless Drogba's knees so they have a shot of making it through an entire season.

Seltzer posted:The Galaxy employ De Jong That's what makes it funny to me. We have the absolute worst, most dirtiest player in the history of evar* and still we have less fouls, yellows, and reds than the Timbers, supposedly, the Cleanest Team in MLS™. *According to the internet last week. edit: I'd say the American EPL/La Liga fan is the worst fan in the world, with MLS fans coming in at #4 behind Eastern European Racism and Lazio fans.

Yes I do. I even joked about it. But for all the vitriol and really fun buzzwords like 'thug' I was hearing last week, he has stayed remarkably out of trouble for his entire career. He's got only 1 red card ever.

Chara is cheeky, but he's also clean and like, 5'6" so tell your poo poo overpaid teams to grow a pair. you're trippin'. making a point that de Jong is a filthy player doesn't mean the timbers are automatically cleaner. Chara isn't "cheeky", he's a highly technical player who has no fear of professional fouls and just because he's smiling doesn't make it okay. Powell regularly makes reckless challenges, you gonna try to say he's "cheeky" too? feel free to go back to GBS.

Well this is stupid. link Inevitable, it seems, but stupid all the same. I enjoyed going to Rapids games without the security theater.quote:Major League Soccer announced on Tuesday that it will bring security measures at MLS events in line with those of other North American professional sports leagues, with new individual screening methods upon stadium entry beginning Saturday, April 23 at all Major League Soccer matches, Soccer United Marketing games, or United Soccer League matches played at MLS venues. I've heard nothing nice about Whitworth from anyone at any point.

The Fire's security let some guy get on the field during the Montreal game, where he was apparently pushed over by a player because security couldn't catch him. Monterrey is beyond incompetent.

Yeah it's the "NFL security protocols" that are being adopted. I bought a tacticool murse from Amazon that meets their criteria. I've trained my drunken self to secure my important poo poo in a bag and I'm not trying to lose poo poo. I wouldn't call Chara dirty at all. Sure dude fouls a lot, but almost all of his cards are persistent infringement or tactical yellows to prevent a breakaway. I can't recall any injuries he's caused.

BTW the Revs are doing some Brazil stuff for the Orlando game on the 30th, so if you attend, you'll get to see me do sexy dance fighting. Or more likely you'll get to see me clapping with the roda while much more skilled members of my capoeira group perform, because I am the group's Ralph Wiggum.

When I go to a game by myself this policy is NBD, but now you're hosed if you're A: trying to go to a game on a weeknight after work and don't have somewhere to stash your poo poo, or B: have small kids. Security Theater is bullshit regardless of where/when it's happening, but having it suck some of the enjoyment out of something I love for no good goddamn reason is infuriating.
