    I just wanted to make this posting at how horrible the Philadelphia fans (mind you they have no team) were at the game. They sat in the Revs supporter section and yet they were not cheering for the Revs. They kept on cheering for Philadelphia and the last I checked they do not have a team in the league. Also some of them were wearing orange shirts and took of their baby blue shirts to reveal them. This absolutely showed total disrespect and if they ever get the chance to get a team (I hope not for some time) I will make sure to re-pay them.

    i completely agree. i love the city, my grandparents live there, and i was in favor of a team, but after today's showing, i have firmly reversed my thinking. how do people who don't even have a team try to yell at uss when they have no team th feel joy of pain for.

    tossing bottles isn't what MLS is about. they are a wannabe english firm.

    ps. GO ST. LOUIS

    I wasnt at the game, but this is why Phily should have a team. Phily teams and their insane fans are good for sports and rivalries.

    rivalry is one thing, but when they are throwing plastic bottles at us and being a second away from a fight, that is something i cannot support.

    like I said, wasnt there, but every group has it's bad apples. I meant in general, Philly has great east coast style passionate fans. I want them in the league.

    well, if you we're at the game and saw what was going on, i'm sure your opinion would be different.

    I'm sorry that today was your first impression of us. To explain the bottles...our folks didn't start it...at least from where I was standing and according to a couple of videos my guys have posted. We had purchased those 5 rows well in advance when DC was selling tickets to all groups and certainly didn't purposefully end up in the middle of your impressive travelling support.

    I have much respect for Monty and you guys and am dissappointed that some good natured piss taking by both sides turned ugly near the end.

    Sounds like you're a nice guy and your colors are pretty but your group's classless self promotion and vocal support for the opposing team while in our section will not be forgotten.

    SOBs indeed.

    there are 3 sides to every story ... your side, our side, and the actual truth.

    keep in mind we were only took up 5 rows in section 228 (approx 80-90 people), nowhere near the amount of revs fan at the game. the DC ticket rep we worked with (who was brilliant btw), informed us we'd be between the toronto and chicago supporters, but not once was new england mentioned. that said, you won't see us come into your boards and start a "trolling" thread, so before everyone starts pointing fingers and calling names, nobody here is innocent.

    i had spoken to a good half dozen revs fans during halftime, all of whom seemed very supportive of what the Sons of Ben are accomplishing in philadelphia.

    and for what it's worth, most (if not all) of us applauded the revs players when they walked over after the game.

    Take a close look at the 12th second of that clip. That's where the bottle throwing began.

    Weren't the guys in the orange jerseys just wearing their school team's jersey? They were not Dynamo jerseys, nor were they Dynamo fans.

    I didn't enjoy getting nailed in the head with a bottle, especially when I had nothing to do with the taunting or what-not. I was more concerned about the DC season ticket holders behind me who seemed hell-bent on starting a fight.

    The ticket office should have placed them somewhere else besides in the middle of the Revs section. Having 80-100 non-revs fans in the section while a group of Revs fans were placed across the field was incredibly moronic and a slap in the face to our supporters.

    I also found it classless when the Sons of Ben seemed more interested in taunting and heckling us for the entirety of the 2nd half, which included calling us the Buffalo Bills.

    Judging by that clip, it's a credit to Revs supporters that you still have all your teeth.

    You must have been sitting near some of us Philly supporters then, because I think I know the exact guy who you are talking about. He was absolutely out of control! At first I thought he was part of the Revs section and I'm thinking, "Why is he screaming at his own supporters?!?!?"

    I agree as I was hit with a navy streamer ball wrapped around a group of ice cubes. And that DC fan was WAY OVER THE LINE. He actually seemed to want a fight.

    I posted on October 8th when we got our seats. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12939986&postcount=12
