Mpenza Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 It's funny how there's only Seattle (who lost the series) and Vancouver (who faces Montreal in the semis) who actually talk about that and try to make a big fuss about it. Oh and the muppet from Quebec also, of course, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I guess you forgot the muppets from St-Hyacinthe and Montreal, Kurosawa and Mastak, who said it was stupid and unacceptable to act like that in the other thread....nice to see that your now insulting your fellow Impact supporters. I'm not trying to make a big fuss about it, just pointing out the fact that I think his actions would deserve some kind of punishment. I'm not calling for a police investigation. But Mpenza, if you can't see that and realize that I've also been complimentary of JL work with MTL but just critical of one event, then your just looking for some little drama which I will not get into.

loyola Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Vic What's the real problem? Don Cherry used to do that on a GOOD night in the Forum when he coached the Bruins. It's entertainment. And I mean really, a coach got into a verbal spar with a fan? Whup de woo. Try and find a single mainstream media mentioning it. There isn't even one. Not even Seattle or Montreal papers. It's a complete non-event. Nobody was hurt. Nobody lost a limb. Nobody is going home in a casket. Nobody needs psychological counseling. To a Southern European, and especially a Greek, that was just a normal day at the office. And really, is a coach an accountant? Their job is to lead men into battle. Here we've got a bunch of guy's in Vancouver getting "DOUCHEBAG" signs ready. It's a free country and all the power to them, but do I mind if he tears a strip off them? Not in a million years. Here's the stuff that actually makes the press: [sounders coach] "The referee took the game away from the players on both teams. He only thought of himself," he said. "He cheated us out of a chance to win. It was junior league stuff." Easy enough to say when it's your last USL game before going MLS next year... With that kind of standards, I guess we should stop talking about the state of the CSA and our MNT results because the media aren't talking about it....

BTW, I would love to see that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've mentioned that based on the facts reported by (no one else but) a Seattle supporter, it was unacceptable. Of course, I agree. Coaches shouldn't be "headhunting" in the middle of supporters... But who the heck knows what really happened? I look at the pics and I see the same guy looking all innocent playing with his camera standing in JL's face in every fckin picture... Looks fishy to me. Anyhoo... My fellow Impact supporters Kuro and Mastak have given their opinion and not insisted on debating... You on the contrary, have been looking for a fight with Montreal supporters, which you seem to hate with a passion for reasons I don't know. Example : "It's funny because if Nick De Santis would've done the same thing when he was coaching a few months earlier, no MTL fan would've defended him. Now, a lot of them are trying to downplay the event of friday night. I guess it's showing their appreciation of his good work..." Who's the muppet?

I use to participate on your board and except for you and a guiy called Kuyt something, I've rarely had arguments with anyone. As for my participation in this thread, I've only pointed out the attitude of MTL fans defending their coach. And in particulary, the post you quoted was an illustration of the hate for NDS by MTL fans, something I didn't have a problem with in the first place and the good work of JL. It's just normal for fans to defend the actions of a coach they like and to be critical of a coach they despise. You must admit that if that happened earlier this summer when NDS was still the coach, few Impact fans would've defended him? Right? Imagine if Pekerman was taking over for Canada's next WCQ game and a similar incident would happen in the hex where he would've brought us. V's would be defending him and that would be normal and I think it would be accurate if someone was saying the same thing I said but replacing NDS with DM.... What I didn't liked in this thread were MTl fans telling us nothing happened or trying to downplay the importance for a coach to show restraint in a similar situation. I think you can find both, positive and negative about MTL in the post you quoted, and that was my intention to show both sides. PS: If I want a pick up a fight, I'll go on your forum Mpenza, not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trident Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 People, don't be surprised we defend our coach, some people do, some don't, just like if it happened to any other team, some fans would defend the coach, some wouldn't. He didn,t hit anyone, so it's not a "disgrace". Jim Brennan yelled at us when Toronto beat us, but no one calls him a disgrace. TO be fair we were telling him to eat a dick and such, so we provoked him, just like provocation in the JL-Seattle "crisis". Maybe if he knocked someone out, however.

DarnCherry Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm sorry. What the hell does this have to do with muppets? I prefer Grover over most muppets. I'm kind of partial to the cookie monster and Oscar the grouch, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary Boomer Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Sorry, the Swedish Chef is 1st, then "Animal" the Keith Moon Drummer, followed by "the Count" (AKA Gary Bettman). But back to the topic...if you look at the Impact Roster, the depth they have etc, a lot of coaches could have gone in there and had success. I think you've got a case of Nick Desantis being so bad, and so tuned out...the players conspired against him. And Joey moved him upstairs.
