Thumbs down Classless Toronto FC Fans

Just got back from the game.

I'd say about 12-15 of their fans were ejected by security and made to leave the Stadium for their conduct, mostly for throwing beer bottles.

They started off being really enthusiastic in the 1st half especially with some witty cheers. In the second half, it was apparent that a lot of these guys were smashed and bored since Toronto just plain stunk.

One beer bottle was thrown at a Red Bull fan but almost hit a family in Section 129 instead (and then people wonder why the caps have to come off bottles?). Admittedly, it didn't help when four guys moved seats closer to their side (none wearing Red Bull gear, but also looking smashed) came over to cause trouble and trade insults with them. Security came down and all four got thrown out in addition to some Toronto fans.

After Altidore's goal, a beer bottle just missed him and another few more went flying his way with a few more fans being ejected after this. On TV, their fans look supportive, but the one's that made the trip today to NJ simply embarrassed their team and fan club with their conduct.

I saw that too, completely disgraceful. Typical TFC fans, the self proclaimed greatest fans in the world, constantly patting themselves on their back. Really nauseating and revolting.

They go into some one elses stadium and act like garbage. We all know how cool they think it is throwing objects on the pitch and at players, but don't bring that shit into someone elses park and think you can get away with it.

I truly hope the ********ers who threw stuff were arrested, they should be charged with assault or something, not just thrown out.

TFC fans will never show any class, even their own captain went over and berated them. What a bunch of dirtbags.

Yeah, I was real dissapointed in seeing how they acted. It's OK to be enthusiastic but obviously a few bad apples in their group have now classified Toronto FC supports group as classless. Hope we don't act the same way on the road so we can continue to point out nitwits like these guys. I was in 131 and saw some real a holes to my right from Toronto.

12-15 were ejected? I was in 105 so the only incident I really saw was the bottle throwing after Altidore's goal.

TFC fans are saying it was water bottles. I actually don't recall Giants Stadium selling beer in bottle.

Opinions?

I saw from 101 about 3 or so before the bottle crap and then about another 10 after the goal..We'll find out soon enough.

I could barely hear them, so they didn't really grab my attention during the game.

Well lets not paint them all with the same brush. I had 10 or so TFC guys come up to me and shake hands and a couple came down to 101 to say good things about ESC's support. So not all of them were douchebags.


How about when ESC and the Red Patch Boys met up right outside Gate B after the game and went back and forth with each other for 10 minutes. Suprisingly nothing major happened, for once security did their jobs...about 20 of them stood between the two groups and only a few minor things happened.

Now if that had been ESC and Barra Brava.....it would have been ugly.

i just wrote this in the toronto forum

Whats up neighbors to the north,
just letting you know that the fans that made the long trip to NJ for the red bulls game were some of the worst fans that i have ever sat next to for any sporting event. they were throwing batteries and beers at people, flipping off other fans and using foul language, even after they were all warned that they were in a family area of the stadium. now im not a prude or anything and i love to get rowdy at a game but they took it to a disgusting level. they could obviously see that there were small children and women in the area that they sat and continued to be drunken buffoons. im just sorry that some of these people represent your fan base. it was seriously one of the more disgusting things i ever saw tonight. i would think adults and just fans in general would try to show maturity especially when visiting an opponents stadium.
sorry for my rant but it seriously had to be said
chris



that beer bottle actually hit a small kid right in front of me
and when the four idiots got kicked out one toronto fan threw a battery and just missed me and my wife
they were seriously horrible people to sit near
