Will Montreal Ever Score?

[Real Corona]

I wonder if anyone kept a record for 0-0 draws in a season combined with 1-0 losses.

Will Montreal Ever Score?

Is there a whorehouse in Montreal?

Is there a whorehouse in Montreal?

Clearly you've never been to Montréal!

I have, but I was terribly busy that weekend and didn't have time to take in Montreal's pleasures of the flesh. Actually I spent more time in and around St.-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

the real problem is Nick De Santis, how in the hell the best forward imo get fired one week after he gets the start against TFC, he said Barnett had an integration problem and as far as I know the coach should be the one inegrating the player and he didn't which caused Barnett to leave.

De Santis out ASAP!!

[devioustrevor]

Barnett didn't look terrible against TFC. He rarely looked dangerous either, but I like to think that is because he was constantly shading towards the right side of the field and right into the area patrolled by Jim Brennan who has loads of experience and has played for a long time at a very high level of football with the likes of Norwich and Southampton.

Barnett was good in that game, saw him and he was runnin around and his speed made it difficult for toronto's defender to stop but when impact went down to 10 mens, his presence in the front was no longer the same. Still, I still say he was the best forward in the team and now he's gone.

I think this is the best place within TOFC lines to say this, it's for the good of Canadian soccer for this to be known, I'm not trolling or spamming:

The Impact Against Free Speech.
Text written by the UM02: 05-06-2008

We could talk about the match, about this wall we hit once more, about this ball that wouldn’t go in the net, but instead of talking about that, we’ll talk about the game that went on in the stands(which was, by all means, much more memorable than what happened on the field).

So we’ll talk about what went on in the stands. But this time, we won’t talk about our loud singing, our tifo, a festive atmosphere or something else. No. We aren’t talking about that because that didn’t happen this time. Instead, we’ll talk about the ridiculous things happening at Stade Saputo(Although they were pretty ridiculous in their own right).

We were now at the third match where we weren’t allowed to hang banners, due to some mysterious and unknown rule. We were in the dark about this, so we decided that until we heard an explanation, we would follow what we were told: “You aren’t allowed to hang anything, but it’s ok if you hold it up yourself.”

Just before the players came on the field, while our owner Joey Saputo was handing out scholarships, we hung a banner up saying: “Thank you for the Stadium. Now we want a coach.” We had that up for a good 5 minutes, until one of the massive gorillas that work under the guise of security guards came up and asked us to take it down, with force and threats of expulsion from the stadium(Business as usual). After we asked what exactly the problem was, he said that we were breaking the rules. The rules, always the rules, the rules that they either don’t tell us in their entirety or not at all. The rules that change every week, like the clouds overhead or the temperature of the overpriced panini sausage they pass off as food. Seasoned with threats, apparently.

Anyways. What is this damned rule anyways? After looking back at all that’s happened throughout the season, our error surely was placing a handful of banners on the revered rail. The legend goes that beneath its glorious blue paint it is solid gold. We’ll look into that. Well, if we can’t hang banners on it(According to the rule), we hold them up ourselves, in the front row. That would work, surely. We waited 'til the second half to try it out.

So we were in the 70th minute, and in the process of unfurling a banner that read: “Nique De Santis”(Our coach’s name is Nick, and Nique in French means “fu**"). Although the banner rung true, we did not even get to completely unfurl it before around a dozen of the gorillas came into our section. The test was over, it did not matter what the content of the banner was, we’re simply not allowed to have banners. We could have a banner saying “Allez L’Impact” and we would have the same result. Repression, it’s that simple, without thinking, without asking questions.

Also, while they came into the section, tearing the banner without warning, the situation escalated. We wanted an explanation, they didn’t give us one, a scuffle followed, despite the efforts to calm things down. The path of brute force was chosen yet again. They took out their telescoping batons, put on their leather gloves, there was pushing and shoving, stomping and destruction of some of our property. There were some expulsions as well. What would pseudo police do without a pseudo arrest? Abuse of power, plain and simple.

The mysterious rule of not being able to hang anything became clear. It isn’t the banners, it’s us. It’s becoming more and more clear that the Impact heads don’t know where to go from here with the pressure of a debacle of a start to the season, with a terrible coach who will be around ad vitam aeternam, in a stadium that has yet to see the home team score a goal… If you are a supporter of the Impact, you only have the right to sit in line neatly in the “New Quebec soccer temple” and applaud when Tac-Tik(our godforsaken mascot) tells you to. Whatever you do, don’t pay attention to the field or what’s around it, it’s expected that you shut your mouth, except to yell out “Lets go, Impact!” once in a while. Just don’t be too loud, ok?

No, obviously it doesn’t work like that. They can threaten, expulse, or hit us as much as they want but we will always have an opinion and we will always express it on our “fu**ing website” or in our banners.

Spread the word.

The Impact's strategy for developing a larger fan base appears to be as successful as their strategy for scoring goals.

[Trident]

I dont see a change anytime soon, on either of those fronts.

I wonder if they were more offended on what the banners were saying than the actual fact that banners were being hung. Would they have reacted so badly to a banner that said "I love Saputo Pizza?" You know what I mean?

[alphamale111]

They will - someday.

We have a few thousand seat cushions they can use for that special moment....:D

Our banners so far:

Thanks for the stadium(in italian)
Italy, Portugale, Florida... the vacation is over, it's time to get to work!
At the dawn of a new era, the sun shines on our future.
Thanks for the stadium, now we want a coach please.


Those were all the banners, we couldnt even put up the NDS banner before the fiasco started.

So nothing to cause the rule, nothing to provoke the security last game.

Ultras sing a song next time to De Santis, it's obvious De Santis is not going to get fire (if he does get fire, they'll probably say he resigned because of his connections with the club) even though for years he's been a whining bitch. He's the reason why Antonio Ribeiro now really sucks, kept him on the bench when he was actually one of their best midfielders, now he's been reduce to play in the same indoor league than I am for Guatemala or Salvador if I remember.

Look at the fact, when there's a head stronger than him in the locker room, they get to leave or they put them on the bench. Expecte them to be happy? of course not, and when they let it known forget about it they're gone.

NIQUE DE SANTIS and them big harms with nuttin inside, you should ask them to tell you what's the real reason for using brutal force, they probably too dumb to even understand why they're out there.

It appears that after they confiscated your banners, they started reading them after the game.
