Former Champ Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 A TFC fan dies on match day and goes to heaven in his TFC shirt. He knocks on the old pearly gates and out walks St Peter. "Hello, mate," says St Peter, "I'm sorry, no Toronto FC fans in heaven." "What?" exclaims the man, astonished. "You heard. No TFC fans." "But, but, but, I've been a good man," replies the TFC supporter. "Oh, really?" says St Peter. "What have you done then?" "Well," says the guy, "Three weeks before I died, I gave 20 bucks to the starving children in Africa." "Oh," says St Peter. "Anything else?" "Well, two weeks before I died, I also gave 20 bucks to the homeless." "Hmmm. Anything else?" "Yeah. A week before I died, I gave 20 bucks to the Albanian orphans." "Okay," says St Peter, "you wait here a minute while I have a word with the boss." Ten minutes pass before St Peter returns. He looks the bloke In the eye and says, "I've had a word with God and he agrees with me. Here's your sixty bucks back, now f**k off." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Old. But allways funny. That TFC Spectre has naught to fear. Since footie fans from across Canada are going out of their way to watch and cheer a Toronto team we now have iron-clad evidence that Hell hath frozen over. Hope he brought his woolies..

They aren't my team. I watch to see them lose. (...and now await the usual, you are jealous of Toronto you bleep etc etc. Nope, TFC just isn't my team). I enjoy the chance to watch some MLS games on TV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The Whitecaps have always been my team, but i'll follow Toronto until Vancouver has a team in the league. Most of the games on TV have been fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanman Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I more or less agree with gwallace. I don't like any other Toronto team (I don't like the Leafs, and the other teams don't play real sports) but I want footie to do well in Canada of course, so why wouldn't I want Toronto to do well? However, when and if Vancouver ever gets a team in MLS, especially if it's Whitecaps, I will be cheering for the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Growing up in and around Vancouver I never noticed the regional rivalry between Canadian cities that I see on this board. I'm an 86ers/Whitecaps supporter first and foremost but I can definitely get behind TFC and have no problem with supporting them until Vancouver gets a team. Is this east coast/west coast stuff on here mostly tongue in cheek or did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Champ Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Canada is very regionalistic and astonishingly diverse. Each region has it's own distinct and unique identity, and it's own particular rivalry with each other region. Anybody remember the CFL ad campaign a few years back. Playing on those rivalries properly could have made a great CSL-like league.... someday... maybe... ... but no, we won't ever have that now... Toronto isn't happy being a large Canadian city, they want to be a mediocre American one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I guess I've spent a lot of time under coat piles. I've lived in Alberta, Manitoba, and B.C. and never noticed it. I remember taking some stick from bus drivers and some coworkers in Winnipeg but thought it was a few isolated dumb asses. I just roll my eyes when the knives come out over regional differencs in Canada. I think this kind of hate your neighbour thing in such a young country must come from a real intense boredom. Does Vancouver have any actual bad history with Toronto? Did Toronto hijack our syrup shipment in 1897 or what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former Champ Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Not to be a show off, but thinking about stuff like this is a hobby as an amature Anthropologist/Sociologist. Vancouver is the seperated one. Cut off from any of the rest of Canada by a continental divide, and then from any reasonable amount of population concentration by thousands and thousands of kms. All of the rest of Canada are mostly jealous, and hide it with varying degrees of bitterness. Nice weather, Pacific Ocean, mountains, clean air...... f**kers. Toronto is the spoiled brat, who while likeable in a way, is far to smug and proud of themselves(because they generally compare themselves to US cities), get all the attention and either they don't even realize it or they think they deserve it. For the record... Calgary is the one with cancer and ok... just for arghy the maritimes can be the retarded one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former Champ Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 This is fun... I'm gonna keep going.... Winnipeg is the rich housewife. While she still tries to convince herself she is something special, in reality that was years and years ago, and now she won't ever be the prettiest girl at the dance again and has to compete for attention with the likes of Regina and Hamilton. Montreal is the sexy one, who is far too independant and completely out of her mind. Ottawa is the fat one. Edmonton is the ugly one... who also has cancer.

Soju Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah I think this stuff's funny so long as it's tongue in cheek. I think I'm just sick of hearing regional generalisations living in China where I'm often told matter of factly that so and so acts like this because he's from a certain city/province and that's how EVERYONE is there...

hippycam Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The family member that I would compare Calgary to would be the rich spoiled brat with a bad attitude. He was such a nice young lad only a few years ago, but then something happened: he was introduced to crystal meth. I think of Calgary is the bar-trash in the noicy Honda Civic with his sleeves rolled up to show off his muscles; kind of like the idiots that I complained about in the gas prices forum. quote:Originally posted by Current Champ Not to be a show off, but thinking about stuff like this is a hobby as an amature Anthropologist/Sociologist.

ANC2 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Good to see the stands full and a complete sea of passion. But as I sit and watch the games, all I can think about is the poor standard in TFC play (even befoe the injuries). Welsh one of the highest paid players! What a waste of money. Hopefully us fans can continue to push the team forward, but withall the money TFC has one can only demand better football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
