How can you shout "This is our house" after a tie? When the goal that tied it was an own goal. Pathetic. Win something, and then you can beat your chest. The newspaper gag was amusing, until they started to throw the papers.
Like I said earlier, BG has been doing this for at least that long at hockey games. Even though Athens and Bowling Green Ohio ARE trend-setting locales, it probably originated elsewhere. Massive originality FAIL.
What do you mean? Let me see, an away tie against last years champs isn't good? Also our goal was a fair goal, unlike your undeserved PK. You think we're going to hold the newspaper all game?
I honestly loved Columbus' originality! I mean yelling you suck ***hole whenever our goalkeeper took a kick. You really need some brains to come up with that one.
No, it's definitely good. But in what universe does that make CCS "your house"? Wouldn't that imply that you always win there? If I recall, you have never beaten us there, or anywhere else for that matter. Sure, be happy about the draw, we should have had about 4 against you, but just be smarter about it.
What were you celebrating? Most of the smoke events were scattered throughout the game, well before the own goal. So, celebration equals chucking incendiary devices near one of your own players, and possibly affecting the vision of said player when it's his job to be able to see? Weak. And as mentioned, unoriginal. BGSU now has the dubious honor of being imitated by a bunch of petulant colonials.
Foos and Fid, I'd take this as an insult. Also, I find funny the fact that he thinks his posts are EVER-so incendiary that he needs to plead for them not getting deleted. Projection, anyone?
Probably. I have no idea where it came from and didn't mean to imply that it was invented in Athens. I just happened to see it for the first time at an OU basketball game. The student section would do it every game for the other team's lineup. All I know is that it's just another in a long list of things that Toronto didn't actually invent.
My point exactly. I don't know when BG started doing it, but as an LSSU student in the early 90s I recall hearing about it on radio broadcasts. Doesn't matter where it started, it's been going on in OHIO (yes, TFC supporters, the backwater, barefoot, banjo pickin', cesspool you love so much), for more than a decade.
So if TFC gets a draw in all it's home games, you'll be perfectly happy? That's what you want to happen in "your house"?
Rumor is that this was the only set of instructions handed out to seatmates on the bus trip down from Toronto.
You're insinuating wanton malfeasance? I've seen penalties given for much less, including during the World Cup against an Italian defender whose arm was simply hanging at his side. It's all in the context and the judgment of the referee. The "ball to hand/hand to ball" bit is a meme that has sprung up among the commentariat to try to economically explain 90% of situations, but it's not in the Laws.
First of all I want to say I mean no trouble in this post. I would answer you guys but unfortunately I'd get trouble with my account. If you wish to take this further ask on the TFC boards or PM me. Thank you and cheers!
