MTL_4_LIFE Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 SANDRO GRANDE SUSPENDED Following an altercation between midfielder Sandro Grande and captain Mauro Biello during Saturday night’s game in Minnesota, the Montreal Impact has announced disciplinary sanctions against Grande for unsportmanlike conduct. “Sandro’s gesture was unacceptable and we will take the necessary measures, said Technical Director Nick De Santis. "Even though there is no doubt that the two players have resolved this issue, such actions cannot be tolerated. As a club, we cannot accept such a reaction because it goes against our values and philosophy. In sports like elsewhere in life, regardless of the circumstances or stakes, violence cannot be admitted.” Sandro Grande will serve a suspension to be determined by the club. http://montrealimpact.com/News/News.aspx?language=EN&ArticleID=1183&Focus=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 What the hell is going on in Montreal ? This team has been shooting itself in the foot all year........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Impact Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Seems like one big dysfunctional family, with GM Desantis suspending the prodigy Grande for choking his brother in law Biello. I say we organise a tag team championship match between Grande and Biello of Montreal Impact vs. Wesley Charles and Charles Gbeke of Vancouver Whitecaps. Maybe this time they can concentrate on hitting an opponent insteaf of a teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 ^ under the circumstances, a tag team match with teams of Grande and Charles versus Biello and Gbeke may be more appropriate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 "My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay It's better to burn out Than to fade away My my, hey hey." When you aspire to greatness you sometimes climb into the clouds but more often than not crash in spectacular failure. That's the price of chasing the dream with passion and pushing the envelope. But as painful as it is, I would far rather pay my money to watch that than cold, clinical politically correct franchise-USA soccer-as-a-business (which completely ruined our national game). Freak it out Impact, burn bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmynow Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 nah, it's just a realization last year was a fluke and Grande and the boys have come back to reality. If anyone really thought Montreal's season last year was a sign of some longterm trend, they now know it wasn't. Guess when you enjoy the heights, playing in the second division without champions league makes you realize what you had. Must be tough to think the heights are all gone now... sigh.

Yes, it was such a fluke that they made it to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League, unlike many MLS, Costa Rican, Honduran, Trinidadian, and USL teams. The problems with their post-CL run was more internal, rather than their "luck" running out in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
